If you are a real estate agent in Kenya searching for a platform to list properties with no upfront fees, you have found it. Househunt Kenya (househuntkenya.com) allows property agents, independent brokers, and landlords to list residential properties on Kenya's most trusted rental marketplace completely free of charge — no listing fees, no mandatory subscriptions, and no upfront costs to get started. Whether you are listing a bedsitter in Githurai, a two bedroom apartment in Ruaka, or a family home in Karen, Househunt Kenya gives you direct access to thousands of active property seekers across Nairobi and beyond.
How Does Free Property Listing Work on Househunt Kenya?
Getting started on Househunt Kenya is straightforward. Any real estate agent or landlord can create a free account on househuntkenya.com and begin listing properties immediately at zero cost. There are no listing fees to pay, no subscription required to go live, and no hidden charges attached to creating or publishing a standard property listing on the platform.
Once your account is set up and your listings are live, Househunt Kenya's growing base of verified property seekers can browse, save, and enquire about your properties directly through the platform. This gives agents and landlords immediate visibility to one of the most active and targeted property audiences in Kenya — all without spending a single shilling to get listed.
Why Does Househunt Kenya Manage Client Communication on Free Listings?
On the free listing plan, client enquiries and contact requests are channelled through Househunt Kenya rather than being passed directly to the agent or landlord. This is a deliberate and important feature — not a limitation.
Kenya's property market, particularly in Nairobi, has a well-documented fraud problem. Fake agents, stolen property photos, fabricated listings, and deposit scams are widespread across unregulated platforms and social media groups. By acting as a verified intermediary between property seekers and listing agents on the free plan, Househunt Kenya creates a layer of accountability and trust that protects both parties — ensuring that the people reaching out about a property are genuine, and that the listings being presented to property seekers are real.
This approach is central to why Househunt Kenya has built its reputation as Kenya's most trusted property platform. Every interaction on the platform is structured to reduce fraud, protect users, and ensure that the quality of listings and enquiries remains high for everyone involved.
Free Account — List Properties at Zero Cost
Creating a free account on Househunt Kenya gives any agent or landlord immediate access to one of Kenya's most active property marketplaces. Here is what the free plan includes:
- No listing fees: Publish standard residential property listings — apartments, bedsitters, studios, one bedrooms, two bedrooms, townhouses, and standalone homes — completely free of charge.
- Immediate visibility: Your listings go live on Househunt Kenya's platform and are searchable by thousands of active property seekers across Nairobi and Kenya.
- Verified enquiry management: Client enquiries and contact requests are managed through Househunt Kenya as the intermediary, ensuring that every lead reaching you has been filtered through a trusted, fraud-controlled environment.
- No mandatory subscription: There is no requirement to upgrade or subscribe to keep your listings live. The free plan is a fully functional starting point for any agent or landlord looking to reach more clients in Kenya.
The free plan is ideal for independent landlords, new agents building their client base, and established agencies who want additional visibility on a trusted platform without adding to their marketing overheads.
What About Land Listings?
Land listings on Househunt Kenya operate differently from standard residential property listings. Due to the higher value and elevated fraud risk associated with land transactions in Kenya, land listings are available exclusively through a dedicated subscription plan priced at KSh 25,000 for 6 months per listing.
This subscription structure ensures that land listings on Househunt Kenya are posted by verified, serious sellers — maintaining the integrity and trustworthiness that the platform's users expect when browsing land for sale in Kenya. For agents and developers with land to sell, this represents a targeted, high-quality audience at a very competitive cost compared to traditional advertising channels.
Paid Plans: Full Control, Direct Client Access, Unlimited Listings
For real estate agents and agencies who want complete control over their client relationships — with direct, uninterrupted communication between themselves and their clients — Househunt Kenya offers two powerful paid subscription plans. On both paid plans, Househunt Kenya does not intercept or manage communication between agents and their clients. You deal directly with your leads, build your own client relationships, and manage your listings with full autonomy.
