STOP SEARCHING FOR VACANT HOUSES ON SOCIAL PLATFORMS

Very many people like you have been conned by criminals posing as Landlords or agents on social media platforms.

These godless thugs present you with photos and scanty details of very good houses, with irresistible prices

and terms like "No Agent" or "No Deposit" or "Free WiFi" or "Own Compound" or "Perimeter Wall,"

and make it look like if you don't get that house immediately, the world will collapse on your head.

Some will demand money before you even see the house and are not available to take you to where the house is.

They send you a "colleague" or a "spouse's" MPESA number lying that it is the Landlord, to send "refundable deposit" to secure the house.

Others will ask you to meet them in an "office" carrying the money and rob you there.

Those sent by the devil himself will offer to take you to that 'house' in their vehicle, only to find yourself sandwiched between two mean looking guys, emptying your pockets and making you choose between your money and your life.

Ladies, I don't even want to say what else can happen to you! (It has happened to many.)

It has also been established that some seemingly genuine agents post houses, tag market prices and still take you to see vacant houses,

only for you to be charged a huge viewing fees regardless of whether you liked any of those houses or not.

They hide certain information regarding the house, demand that they must show you the house, at your cost and still charge you those insane viewing fees. Ukora mtupu!

Please note that no Landlord approves of this insane corruption.

I don't mean to scare you, but all that has happened to countless people out there and will happen to you if you don't listen to me.

I also don't mean that everyone posting houses on social media platforms is sent by the devil to scam you. No.

There are very many good, genuine houses posted on social media by legitimate Agents and Landlords.

but how can you tell the difference between genuine and scam?

It is usually too late by the time you realize you are a victim.

To get a genuine house, here are 4 powerful tips.

1. If you love your money, health and life, never trust any house posts on social media, even if the person is the admin.

Some of the scammers are establishing groups to get your money. We have evidence for this.

Of course some people are genuine advertisers while others are scammers.

But you can't know with certainty who is real and fake.

Verified genuine advertisers know where to post their houses. Just not on social media platforms. Better to be safe than sorry.

2. Deal only with registered property agents.

They have offices you can visit, or websites or pay bill numbers bearing their company names.

After you get a lead to a house, ask to visit their office or meet them in the property.

Avoid street deals at all cost. Yes!
Go to that property, carry a friend and don't be in a hurry while inspecting the house.

Ask even to talk with the resident caretaker or a tenant.

No serious Landlord or agent will ask you to pay for a house because it might be taken by another person.

3. Stop looking for leads to houses on social media. You don't want to get the unwanted attention of the criminals waiting like bullsharks to eat you alive.

They will show you NO MERCY.

Even if you have the IQ of Albert Einstein, you're not a match for these ruthless monsters.

4. Search for houses on registered websites, that verify Landlords/Agents before posting houses.

Here, you can find leads to a house in 2 minutes, even at night, free of charge.

And get all the details of the house even before calling the verified landlords or agents for pin location.

If you don't find one, ask the admin to connect you with a landlord or agents they can verify, in their network.

Meaning you no longer need to walk the whole day searching for vacant houses.

No more swollen feet, headaches, exhaustion and confusion associated with house hunting on foot.

No need to pay someone your sweet money to find you a house. You can do house hunting on your own, in the comfort of your current place.

You can compare many houses in one place before choosing the one suited to your needs.

And you don't need to fear being conned, robbed or raped by criminals; you're safe.

The only 2 sites that verify Landlords adequately are Renters Hub and Buyrentkenya.

Renters Hub is purely a rentals website. So, you are not bombarded with ads of things you don't need.

Renters Hub even guarantees to return your money should you ever be scammed on their platform.

And if you don't get exactly what you're looking for, just leave a house request so you are notified when what you are seeking is posted.

If you found this information valuable, please share it with just 2 of your closest friends and help them be safe. You're welcome.
