Starting a real estate business in Kenya is something that may not be as easy as it sounds. However, once you get the right tips about it, you can be sure of making quite a profit as there will always be a demand for property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have already covered how to come up with a unique business name and performing a company name search Using eCitizen<\/a>. We even detailed how to conduct a business name search<\/a> in Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After registering your company, you can log in to the Kenya Revenue Authority Portal to obtain a pin. This pin is very important because it will enable you open a bank account while also helping to keep your personal and business transactions separate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Armed with company name, visit the Estate Agents Registration Board(EARB), which is a regulatory body for estate agency practice in Kenya. EARB is charged with the responsibility of registering estate agents and ensuring that the competence and conduct of practicing estate agents are of a standard sufficiently high to ensure the protection of the public. In case you missed it, we have detailed a separate process of registration<\/a> with EARB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a real estate website<\/a> and start building your brand all over the internet. The website should also include a professional email address. It will look much more professional to communicate with real estate prospects and clients using an email address like yourname@yourbusinessname.co.ke than your personal Gmail account. Additionally set up social media accounts<\/a> on popular social media platforms like Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your website is live, create promotional materials with your website and office details. These materials include business cards and flyers Consider colors<\/a>, images, fonts, and a logo<\/a> in order to create a cohesive look for your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find someone to help you stay organized, run errands and sort your taxes on time.

If your capital is limited, you can get a virtual\/shared office then later move to your own office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you are all set up, you are ready to start.
