Renting, Buying or Selling? Here’s What Really Frustrates People and What You Can Do About It
In Kenya’s real estate market, people often start hopeful, only to end up frustrated.
Renters face fake listings, landlords deal with unreliable tenants, buyers fear scams, sellers wait endlessly, and developers struggle to move units despite great projects.
At Edgestone Real Estate, we’ve listened to these frustrations and built systems around them. Because property should be more than transactions, it should be about trust, transparency, and peace of mind.
1. For Renters: When House Hunting Becomes a Hustle
Let’s be honest, finding a rental in Kenya can feel like a gamble. You deal with fake listings, shady agents, unclear terms, and that constant fear that your deposit may never come back. Common renter pain points:
* Fake or misleading listings
* Hidden charges or unclear leases
* Poor communication from agents
* Fear of losing deposits
💡 What renters really want: safety, trust, and convenience.
Edgestone’s Solution:
The Renter Peace of Mind Package verified listings, secure deposit handling, and transparent lease guidance.
“With Edgestone, every rental is verified, documented, and handled with care.”
2. For Landlords: Managing Tenants Shouldn’t Feel Like a Second Job
Between chasing rent, fixing repairs, and handling complaints, many landlords feel overwhelmed. Property ownership should bring peace, not pressure.
Top landlord frustrations:
* Long vacancies and income gaps
* Problem tenants
* Delayed rent payments
* Unreliable maintenance
💡 What landlords really want: consistent income and reliable tenants.
Edgestone’s Solution:
The Landlord Freedom Plan, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and monthly reporting.
“You earn we handle the rest.”
3. For Buyers: The Fear of Getting It Wrong.
Buying property is exciting but it can also be terrifying. Between fake titles, inflated prices, and unclear processes, even confident buyers can feel lost.
Buyer pain points:
* Scams and title fraud
* Confusing paperwork
* Hidden defects
* Financing hurdles
💡 What buyers really want: guidance, security, and confidence.
Edgestone’s Solution:
The SafeBuy Experience full due diligence, document verification, home inspection, and financing support.
“We don’t just sell property. We protect your investment.”
4. For Sellers: The Waiting Game Nobody Talks About.
You’ve listed your property. Weeks pass. Then months. Calls slow down. Updates stop coming. Selling shouldn’t feel like that.
Seller pain points:
* Properties staying unsold
* Wrong pricing or weak marketing
* Unqualified buyers
* Lack of agent feedback
💡 What sellers really want: exposure, qualified leads, and quick results.
Edgestone’s Solution:
The SmartSell Advantage, pricing strategy, premium marketing (social, photo, video), and transparent feedback.
“We combine local insight with digital reach so your property gets seen, and sold.”
5. For Developers: When Great Projects Deserve Great Sales.
You’ve built something incredible now you need momentum.
But even strong developments can stall without the right sales systems and marketing strategy.
Top developer pain points:
* Slow unit uptake
* Poor market exposure
* Unqualified or low-intent leads
* Lack of structured sales tracking
* Agents who don’t understand the project’s brand
💡 What developers really want: consistent sales velocity and strategic representation.

* Dedicated project sales team
* Data-driven marketing campaigns
* Weekly performance reports
