Sellers Guide
How to sell your property effectively in Kenya.
1. Explore Your Options
You can sell through an agent, list as For Sale by Owner (FSBO), or explore Makazi Premier Offer for a cash offer. Each option has trade-offs in cost, speed, and effort.
2. Price Your Property
Research comparable sales in your area. Check our Market Trends for neighborhood pricing. Overpricing can lead to longer listing times; underpricing leaves money on the table. Consider a professional valuation.
3. Prepare Your Property
Clean, declutter, and make minor repairs. First impressions matter—good photos and staging can attract more buyers. Consider professional photography for your listing.
4. List Your Property
Create a compelling listing with accurate details, photos, and a clear description. List on Makazi to reach thousands of buyers. If using an agent, find a seller's agent who knows your area.
5. Showings and Offers
Schedule viewings and respond promptly to inquiries. Be prepared to negotiate. Review offers carefully—consider not just price but also financing, contingencies, and closing timeline.
6. Closing the Sale
Engage a lawyer to handle the transfer. Ensure the buyer's funds are cleared before handing over keys. Complete the transfer at the Land Registry. Pay any applicable fees and taxes.
