Every engagement at Keyora Consult follows the same structured, transparent methodology — from the first conversation to the completed transaction. Independent. Documented. Entirely in your interest.
Most property professionals in Kenya earn their income from commissions — a percentage of the transaction value paid when a deal completes. This structure creates a fundamental conflict: the advisor earns more when the transaction completes, regardless of whether it was right for the client.
Keyora Consult was built around a different model entirely. We charge a fixed advisory fee, agreed in writing before any work begins. We take no commission from sellers, no referral fees from developers, and no income from any other party in any transaction we advise on. Our fee comes from you. Our advice is shaped by nothing else.
This is not just a philosophical position — it is a structural one. It changes what we are able to say, what we are willing to recommend, and what we will tell you when the right answer is to walk away from a deal. That structural independence is the foundation of everything in our methodology.
We never represent both sides of a transaction. Every engagement is a mandate for one party — buyer, seller, or investor — with no competing obligation to anyone else in the same deal.
Every engagement begins with a written engagement letter confirming the scope, the fee, and the mutual obligations. Nothing is assumed, nothing changes without your agreement.
When we verify a title, we go to the Land Registry ourselves. We do not accept documents provided by the seller. Direct verification is the only standard that genuinely protects a buyer.
We will tell you when a property is overpriced, when a title has problems, or when a deal is not worth doing — even when the honest answer is not what you were hoping to hear.
Whether you are buying a home in Nairobi, acquiring land upcountry, investing from abroad, or selling discreetly — every Keyora engagement follows the same six-phase process. The scope varies. The discipline does not.
Begin Your EngagementEvery engagement begins with a private consultation — in person in Nairobi or by secure video call for diaspora and international clients. We listen before we advise. We establish your goals, your constraints, your budget, your timeline, and what success looks like for you specifically. This brief shapes everything that follows.
Before any work begins, we confirm the scope, the fee, and the mutual obligations in a written engagement letter. This document is clear, specific, and fair. You know exactly what you are paying, exactly what we will do, and exactly what happens if circumstances change. No hidden charges. No surprises.
For buyers and investors, we activate our off-market network to identify properties that match the brief — properties that never appear on BuyRentKenya, Property24, or any public portal. For sellers, we identify pre-qualified buyers through the same private channels. For all engagements, we research market conditions, comparable pricing, and the specific factors most relevant to your situation.
Before any financial commitment is made, we conduct a full due diligence review of every property you are serious about. We attend the Land Registry in person, conduct official title searches, check for cautions and encumbrances, verify survey maps at the Survey of Kenya, confirm ownership identity, check rates and rent clearance, and assess the overall fraud risk. This is conducted directly at source — never from documents provided by the seller.
We negotiate on your behalf with complete focus on your outcome. For buyers, this means achieving the best possible price and transaction terms — armed with market data, due diligence findings, and no financial incentive to close at any particular price. For sellers, it means achieving full market value through our private network of pre-qualified buyers without the exposure of a public listing. For investors, it means structuring the acquisition to maximise risk-adjusted return.
We coordinate the conveyancing process alongside your solicitor — managing KRA requirements, stamp duty, Land Registry transfer registration, and any administrative steps required to complete your ownership. For diaspora clients, we handle everything on the ground in Kenya and provide documented confirmation at each stage. We remain available post-completion — the relationship does not end at the handover of keys.
The six phases above apply to all engagements. The specific steps activated within each phase depend on the nature of your instruction. Here is how the methodology applies across our core services.
You want to buy property in Kenya that never reaches the public market. We source, screen, verify, and negotiate — presenting only properties that match your brief and have passed our due diligence.
You want to sell discreetly without public exposure. We identify pre-qualified buyers through private channels, verify their capability, and manage negotiations — protecting your privacy at every stage.
You have found a property and want independent verification before committing funds. We conduct a full title search, caution check, fraud risk assessment, and survey map verification — delivering a written report.
You are building or expanding a property portfolio in Kenya. We define the right strategy, source off-market assets, model returns honestly, verify every title, and negotiate acquisitions with your ROI targets as the only objective.
You want to buy land in Kenya safely. We source off-market parcels, conduct comprehensive land-specific due diligence including change of user verification, and negotiate with full protection against the fraud risks that the Kenyan land market is known for.
You are buying property in Kenya from abroad. We handle every step on the ground — sourcing, due diligence, negotiation, POA coordination, and transfer registration — with documented updates at every stage so you remain fully informed from wherever you are.
Of our engagements begin with a written agreement before any work starts.
Methodology is only as good as the commitment behind it. These are the specific promises that apply to every engagement — not aspirations, but operational guarantees.
No work starts before a written engagement letter is agreed. Fee, scope, and obligations are documented and clear.
We take no referral fees, no commission splits, and no income from sellers, developers, or agents — ever.
All title searches are conducted by us at the Land Registry. We do not accept documents provided by any party with an interest in the transaction.
Every significant finding — title problem, pricing concern, due diligence result — is communicated to you in writing with supporting evidence.
If a deal is not in your interest, we will say so — clearly, in writing, with the reasoning. That is what independent advisory means.
