I posted here looking for a house. I got it yes but after much travel to different locations. The online market places in Kenya only got big money houses. I wish to introduce a place where one will easily get a house from a bedsitter to a warehouse. Houses for sale/let only.

Enjoy.

We are uploading the site in the production server today. And will change some things in coming days. It is ready for use though. Feel welcome to post your units.
All services are free and will remain so. Though we might charge for the featured section in future. There are only two ad sections and no more ads spaces will be added in future.

@quicksand Thanks for taking a look. I appreciate you comment but wish you noted that the site was being uploaded the exact time I posted here. Its now clean. Such numbers and timestamp are common errors in tests.

Its now open and welcoming anyone with any house to sell/ let.


I stated that I'll keep improving the site with time. I welcome anyone with a suggestion/ reporting some broken logic.

@richdad ... Good luck with your site.
If you want traffic to your site I suggest you add some more functionality to it as opposed to being a dealfish which already has all the info you are trying to replicate. My suggestion is to get people to put up the rent they pay for their houses in different areas of the city and this should appear in a google map. The map should ideally aggregate the rent from surroundings and show it as a cost.
It will be a lot of work but it is useful to houseowners and house renter. For example if I stay in imara daima I can locate my house on google maps and post my rent and add issues from a drop down menu. Eg water, traffic, etc! For a start you can populate this info yourself and see how it goes.

Now back to your current site. You need to populate it since it is not of any use without info. Before you get traffic going to populate your site just do it yourself with information from the newspaper and you can probably do this for a few weeks as the data becomes rich and traffic increases.

Good luck!

with the current competition give yourself 5 years may be they will have exited the market .online directories ,advertising and classified platforms are now dominated by the south africans offering superior service and all for free

@richdad I like your attitude to the whole project. However seriously think of what @tonystark has said above. Try to be different. Get a niche or something but offer what the others are not offering. An example, some years back when I left college and could barely afford rent for a good house I would have paid for a website where I could get genuine landlords and or tenants whom I could co-rent with.

On the discussion platform I would wager that it wont go anywhere unless you play it for sometime - get like three people, pay them and let them have different handles and carry out 'discussion' on your board for at least a year and you may yet have a community. Otherwise it would go nowhere fast.
