Investors should verify credible real estate agents before investing their money. Many real estate agents in Kenya offer services to both local and foreign investors who wish to purchase property in the country. Some real estate agents have their own land that they can sell to clients; others act as intermediaries between sellers and buyers.
Credible real estate agents will help you research the records of the land you are buying so you don’t purchase land that is illegally owned. To curb scams in the purchase and transfer of land, the president of Kenya launched an online land registration platform where people can buy and sell land in a transparent manner. This online service is in its pilot stage and is only available in Nairobi.
