Nairobi Β· Kenya

Rental homes you can actually trust.

NestFind Africa runs KiliMani β€” the rental platform where every landlord is document-verified and every listing is reviewed by our team before it goes live. No ghost listings. No fake agents.

What we do

A safer rental market, built for Kenya.

House-hunting in Nairobi is full of brokers, fake listings and wasted viewing fees. NestFind Africa fixes that with one simple rule: nobody lists a property until we know who they are.

πŸͺͺ

Landlords are verified

Every landlord submits identification and ownership documents, plus phone and email verification, before their account can publish anything.

πŸ”

Listings are reviewed

Each listing goes through our review queue β€” photos, pricing and location are checked, and suspicious posts are automatically flagged before a human decides.

πŸ’š

Skin in the game

Landlords pay an annual publishing fee per listing. It keeps out spammers and time-wasters β€” only serious, real properties stay on the platform.

One platform, two apps.

How verification works

From sign-up to a live listing.

Landlord verifies identity

ID and ownership documents are uploaded in the app; phone and email are confirmed with one-time codes. Our admins approve the account.

Listing is paid & reviewed

The KSh 1,500 annual fee is paid via Paystack (M-Pesa or card). The listing then enters our review queue where photos, price and location are checked.

Renters see only the real thing

Approved listings go live for 365 days with a verified badge. Anything reported or suspicious is pulled back into review immediately.

Due diligence

Don't take our word for it β€” verify us.

We ask landlords to prove themselves, so it's only fair you can check us too. Here is everything a careful person should look for:

🍎 Reviewed by Apple

Both apps are distributed through Apple's TestFlight, which means they passed Apple's Beta App Review. Fake operations don't get through that process. Rental app: testflight.apple.com/join/XrMsetsD Β· Landlord app: testflight.apple.com/join/9qjy2Zzx

πŸ’³ Payments never touch us

Every shilling is processed by Paystack, a licensed payment provider (a Stripe company). We never see your card number or M-Pesa PIN β€” and you'll always receive a Paystack receipt.

πŸ“„ Public documentation

Our platform documentation is openly published at api.nestfind.africa/docs. You can also email us at info@nestfind.africa β€” a human replies.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is NestFind free for renters?
Yes β€” browsing is free, and you get 4 full listing views (with landlord contacts) every month. If you're actively house-hunting, unlimited access costs KSh 2,000 for 30 days.
Do you charge viewing fees or commissions?
Never. We are not brokers. Landlords pay a flat KSh 1,500 per listing per year, renters pay only the optional premium subscription. Nobody on NestFind should ever ask you for a "viewing fee" β€” report them in the app if they do.
How do I know a listing is real?
Every landlord is document-verified before they can publish, every listing is human-reviewed before going live, and our system automatically flags suspicious pricing or behaviour for re-review. Listings also expire after a year unless the landlord actively renews.
How do I pay, and is it safe?
All payments go through Paystack via M-Pesa or card, inside the app. You get an official receipt for every payment, and we never handle or store your payment details ourselves.
I'm a landlord with several properties β€” how does pricing work?
Each listing costs KSh 1,500 per year and stays live for 365 days. From 45 days before expiry we remind you to renew, and you can pay for several listings in a single M-Pesa payment.
Which areas do you cover?
We're live across Nairobi and its metro β€” from Kilimani, Kileleshwa and Lavington to Ruaka, South B, Kasarani and beyond. The live counter at the top of this page shows exactly how many areas have active listings right now.
