Selling a property in Kigali well requires two things most sellers underestimate: an honestly calculated price, and marketing that actually reaches serious buyers rather than just people who like scrolling through listings. Our selling service is built around both.
What's included
- Property valuation based on genuinely comparable recent sales in your neighbourhood
- Documentation review — confirming your title is in order before we start marketing, so a problem doesn't surface mid-negotiation
- Professional photography and a written listing, published on our properties page and distributed through our buyer network
- Diaspora-specific marketing — dual-currency pricing and video walkthroughs, since a meaningful share of serious Kigali buyers are based abroad
- Negotiation support — managing viewings and offers, and advising you on which offer is actually strongest once financing certainty and timeline are weighed, not just headline price
- Closing support through to signed sale agreement and registered transfer
The selling process, step by step

Pricing your property realistically
Overpricing is the single most common reason a property sits unsold for months in Kigali's market. Buyers — especially diaspora buyers who can compare listings across multiple agencies — notice when a price is disconnected from comparable recent sales, and a property that's been listed too long at too high a price often ends up selling for less than a realistic initial price would have achieved, simply because buyers assume something is wrong with it. Our valuation is deliberately built on comparable sales data, not on what would be nicest for you to hear.
Marketing that reaches real buyers
A listing with a few phone-camera photos and a one-line description does not compete in a market where serious buyers — particularly from abroad — are comparing multiple options before committing to a video call. We produce a proper photo set, a complete written description with accurate specifications, and where useful, a video walkthrough prepared at listing stage rather than only once a buyer requests one.
Selling to a diaspora buyer specifically
If your likely buyer is based abroad, expect the process to include more video calls and a longer decision window than a purely local sale, along with a payment structure that reassures a buyer who can't personally inspect the property before sending funds. We handle this routinely — see buy property from abroad for what that looks like from the buyer's side, which shapes what we prepare on yours.
