Safety and scams

How do I avoid property scams?

Keja, the Kenya Home Search guide

Keja says

Keja's golden rule: no viewing, no paying. Never pay a booking or viewing fee, view in person, meet the owner or agent, confirm who owns the property, and get receipts. If someone pushes you to pay first, stop and talk to us.
