What we handle for you

One point of contact in Kenya for everything that normally requires a relative, a broker and a lot of hope.

Legal

Document & title verification

Official land searches, title deed checks and document authentication — confirmed through legal channels before your money moves.

What's included: official search at the relevant land registry, confirmation of the registered owner, checks for charges, caveats or disputes on the title, and authentication of supporting documents (IDs, agreements, rates clearance).

How it works: you send us copies of the documents or the property details. Our advocate runs the searches through official channels and reviews everything.

You receive: a written verification report stating exactly what was found — before you commit a single shilling.

Oversight

Project monitoring

Regular site visits with photo and video reports, so your construction progresses the way the contractor says it does.

What's included: scheduled site visits (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly), photo and video documentation of progress, checks against the work the contractor reports, and flagging of delays or shortcuts.

How it works: we agree a visit schedule for your project. Our team attends in person and documents what is actually on the ground.

You receive: a dated report with photos/video after every visit — your eyes on site, from anywhere in the world.

Oversight

Project audits

Independent audit of a stalled, troubled or completed project — what was spent, what was actually built, and where things stand.

What's included: physical site inspection with photo and video evidence, review of receipts, invoices and contractor records against actual work done, an independent assessment of work quality and value, and identification of gaps between money sent and work delivered.

How it works: you share what was agreed, what was paid and any records you have. We inspect the ground truth and reconcile the two — with legal review where recovery or further action may be needed.

You receive: a clear written audit report with evidence — what exists, what's missing, what it would take to complete, and your options going forward.

Oversight

Remote property oversight

Monthly inspections and independent reports for diaspora landlords — so you know exactly what is happening at your property, without relying on the agent who also collects the rent.

What's included: monthly physical inspection of your property, photo and written condition report, confirmation that the reported tenant matches the actual occupant, review of maintenance invoices before you pay, and flagging of anything that needs your attention.

How it works: you share your property address and your property agent's contact. We visit independently on a monthly schedule and report directly to you — not to the agent.

You receive: a dated monthly report with photos covering condition, occupancy and any issues — your independent eyes on the ground, every month.

Pricing: monthly retainer from USD 60/property. Covers one visit and one full written report per month. Additional visits quoted separately.

Property

Land & property purchase oversight

Independent verification of sellers, paperwork and boundaries — protecting you through every stage of a purchase.

What's included: verification of the seller's identity and right to sell, title and history checks, physical confirmation of boundaries and beacons, and legal review of the sale agreement before signing.

How it works: you found the property — we make sure it is what it claims to be. We accompany the transaction from offer to transfer.

You receive: stage-by-stage written updates and a clear go/no-go recommendation at each step.

Property

Buying houses & plots

We source houses and plots across Kenya, vet the seller and title, and walk the purchase to completion on your behalf.

What's included: property sourcing based on your budget and location preferences, site visits with photos/video, full title and seller vetting, price negotiation support, and legal handling of the transfer.

How it works: tell us what you're looking for — area, size, budget. We shortlist real options, verify them, and manage the purchase end to end.

You receive: a verified shortlist, documentation at every stage, and a completed, legally clean purchase.

Legal

Legal documents & agreements

Sale agreements, powers of attorney, company registration and more — drafted and reviewed by a licensed Kenyan advocate.

What's included: drafting and review of sale agreements, leases and contracts; powers of attorney so you can act in Kenya without flying home; company and business registration; and succession and estate guidance.

How it works: tell us what you need handled. A licensed advocate prepares or reviews the documents, with a written quote and timeline before any work begins.

You receive: properly drafted, legally sound documents — and, with a power of attorney, the ability to act on matters in Kenya without travelling.

Government

Government documents & errands

iTax/KRA, eCitizen applications, passports, IDs, certificates and the in-person office visits you can't make from abroad — handled on the ground.

What's included: KRA/iTax filing and PIN matters, eCitizen applications, passport and national ID follow-ups, NTSA and logbook tasks, birth, marriage and death certificates, certificates of good conduct, Huduma Centre visits, and general errands or office visits that need someone physically present.

How it works: tell us what you need done and share the documents and authorization required. Our team attends the relevant office in person and keeps you updated at each step.

You receive: the completed document or a clear status update with proof — collected, scanned and sent to you, or delivered wherever you direct.

Legal

Visa processing

Guidance and handling of visa applications and supporting documents for family visits, travel and invitations.

What's included: advice on the right visa category, preparation and review of application forms, compiling supporting documents (invitations, financial letters, itineraries), and follow-up on the application.

How it works: we assess your situation, tell you exactly what's needed, and prepare the application properly the first time.

You receive: a complete, correctly prepared application and updates until a decision is issued.

Travel

BnB & vacation booking

Vetted accommodation and stay arrangements for your visits home — booked and confirmed before you land.

What's included: sourcing of BnBs, apartments or hotels matched to your budget and location, physical vetting where needed, booking and payment coordination, and check-in arrangements.

How it works: send us your dates, group size and budget. We present vetted options with real photos — not listing photos.

You receive: confirmed bookings and a contact on the ground if anything needs sorting during your stay.

Logistics

Vehicle importation

Sourcing, shipping, duty, clearance and registration of an imported vehicle — handled end to end, with every cost shown.

What's included: vehicle sourcing or shipping coordination, KRA duty estimation, port clearance through licensed agents, registration, and delivery — with all official receipts kept.

How it works: tell us the vehicle, or your budget and the type you want. We handle the process from port of origin to the car parked where you want it.

You receive: documented updates at every stage, all official receipts, and a registered vehicle delivered clean — no surprise "extra fees."

Logistics

Clearing & forwarding facilitation

Coordination of customs clearance and freight forwarding for your goods and shipments — handled through licensed agents, documented at every step.

What's included: liaison with licensed clearing agents at the port or airport, customs documentation review, duty and tax payment facilitation, cargo tracking, and onward transport of your goods.

How it works: send us your shipment details and documents. We coordinate the clearance and keep you informed until your goods are delivered.

You receive: status updates, copies of all clearance documents and receipts, and your goods delivered to their destination.

Logistics

Relocation & moving back home

Returning to Kenya, or moving things within it? We coordinate the shipping, customs clearance and delivery of your household — door to door.

What's included: container and shipping coordination through licensed movers, customs clearance for household goods — including guidance on returning-resident duty exemptions where you qualify — delivery and offloading at your home, and local moves within Kenya for your property or family.

How it works: tell us what's moving and where it's going. We plan the route, handle the paperwork through licensed agents, and track your goods until they're inside your door.

You receive: a written plan and quote upfront, clearance documents and receipts, and your belongings delivered — without the port horror stories.

Logistics

Transport & coordination

Vehicle mobilization, airport pickups and general logistics — coordinated on the ground so things happen on time.

What's included: airport pickups and drop-offs, vehicle hire with vetted drivers, scheduling for multi-stop trips, and coordination of deliveries or errands you need handled locally.

How it works: tell us your itinerary or what needs moving. We arrange reliable transport and confirm every step.

You receive: confirmed arrangements with driver details in advance — no waiting, no surprises at the airport.
