Kenyan Property Buyers Start with a Search
More and more buyers in Kenya look online before they ever call an agent, which makes a real estate website in Kenya a basic tool for agents and developers. Phrases such as "land for sale Kiambu", "apartments for rent Westlands" and "3 bedroom house for sale Nairobi" are typed into Google Kenya thousands of times a month. Without your own site, your listings never reach those searchers.
Features Your Property Site Should Have
- Listings: photos, price, location and key features for each property
- Search filters: let buyers narrow results by location, price range or property type
- Google Maps: pin each property's exact location
- WhatsApp click-to-chat: buyers can send a question straight away
- Enquiry and contact forms
- Profiles of your agents
- Links to virtual tours (a YouTube walk-through works well)
WordPress Plugins and Themes Worth Trying
- Estatik: a free listings plugin that supports Kenyan currency
- WP Property: for more advanced property management
- Real Homes Theme: a paid theme with plenty of features
