What's the difference with the other sites that are already doing that and for free? Like that Wazuan who posts here. Propertyzote.com or something like that.

The website is outstanding as it seeks to bring only owners of properties to list their properties.Buyers on the other hand shall only be contacting the owners and not agents.ONLY OWNERS OF PROPERTIES SHALL LIST ON THE WEBSITE. marketing campaigns are underway to popularize the site among Kenyans ,what other better way to source for properties than direct from owners!

How would you tell that I am the owner before you list. Do you ask for my ID, Copy of title or how do you do it?
I Think Therefore I Am

Yes, I agree with you. I like the stored property of this site and also share this site with one of my friends; he tells me the feature is unique.

Good luck with it but I can already tell you for free that it will be a tough sell -pun intended- for three good reasons.

1. Kenyans dont like to pay for services they can get for free.
2. See 1 above
3. In case of any doubt, remember 1 and 2.

Ask olx. They tried for years and flopped and became jiji. I dont see how jiji will fare better even if they try google adsense or product placements as revenue sources.

A better idea is become a listing site for vetted property agents buyrentkenya or property24 style. Then provide better content - bigger, clearer pictures, ability to PM agents and fellow users (eg when asking for copy of title for search) etc etc then charge agents an annual listing fee. Most agents would love this because it brings order and quality and allows buyers to accesd and interact for free. Thank me later for this advice braddah and ignore it at your own peril.

Shalom.

Rouge house agents will hijack your site kwanza if it's free, or do you have a vetting system to weed out non owners?

As long as you're cutting out agents your project is dead on arrival.
