Start finding real estate buyers todayThe challenge of selling to real estate & property institutions
Kenyan SMEs face specific hurdles when targeting real estate & property buyers. Fanel was built to solve them.
Property developers plan projects 6–12 months ahead — by the time you hear about a project, procurement decisions are already made. You need to be in the pipeline early.
Construction and property firms have formal supplier panels. Getting onto the approved vendor list requires documentation, site visits, and compliance certifications before any sale happens.
Decision-making is split between site managers, quantity surveyors, and directors. Approaching the wrong person wastes weeks — and the right person is usually on site, not in the office.
