FAQ

Quick answers about how eMaskani works.

eMaskani is a two-sided property marketplace in Kenya. Clients post hunt requests with their budget and area; vetted property hunters bid to help them find a home. You can also browse listings directly.

Post your request, hunters in your area place bids with their rates, you compare ratings and pick a hunter. Once matched, they search for properties that fit your brief.

Creating an account is free. Hunt fees are agreed between you and your chosen hunter. RentShield and other paid services show their fees upfront before you pay via M-Pesa.

RentShield is optional tenant screening for landlords — search or list rental default records before signing a lease. It's a bonus protection feature after you've found a place.
