Real estate websites should bring serious buyers and tenants who are ready to view, not just likes.
On this page
Property clicks in Kenya are often quoted at KSh 130 to KSh 260 and above. The research runs for weeks. Buying clicks without a plan for that is how agencies lose money fast.
What people actually type
Specific, ready, and where the deals are.
Budget stated up front. Do not fight it. Build for it.
Fear. The agency that answers this honestly earns the enquiry.
What usually goes wrong
- Listings with no area pages around them. Listings expire and take their rankings away.
- Price on request. Buyers filter by budget first and skip you.
- Old listings still up. Nothing kills trust faster than asking about something sold months ago.
- Nothing about how you verify title, in a market where that is the main fear.
- Slow replies. Property enquiries are decided in hours.
The plan, in order
Area pages are the real asset
A page for each area you work in, with actual local detail. Prices, who lives there, commute, schools. These last.
Listings that can be found
Filter by price, bedrooms, area and type. Each listing on its own page that can be shared and indexed.
Trust content
How you verify. How the process works. What fees apply. This costs nothing but effort and it is your best difference.
A path for Kenyans abroad
Remote viewing, verification, payment steps and someone who answers at an odd hour.
Instant replies
WhatsApp, automatic acknowledgement and routing. Speed matters here more than anywhere.
What real estate website Kenya looks like when it is done properly
Here is one we built. Look at where the price sits, where the WhatsApp button sits, and how little you have to think about.
What it costs
An agency site with listings and area pages usually runs KSh 250,000 to KSh 500,000. Monthly search work from KSh 48,000.

Not at first. Every number we show comes from organic search. We only run ads once your page already ranks and sells, because new pages pay more per click.
