What Makes a Real Estate Developer Trustworthy?

Trust is Earned Through Hardwork and Quality Service

In a real estate market as active as Nairobi’s, choosing the right developer is just as important as choosing the property itself. From off-plan delays to unfinished projects and poor construction, buyers have learned—sometimes the hard way—that not all developers deliver on their promises.

So, how can you tell who’s trustworthy before committing? This guide breaks it down.

1. Proven Track Record of Delivery

A trustworthy developer should have successfully completed multiple projects—not just announced them.
Look for:

  • Handover timelines met
  • Photos and testimonials from existing homeowners
  • On-ground visits to completed properties

Mi Vida, for example, has consistently delivered well-constructed homes within schedule across several developments in Nairobi.


2. Legal Compliance and Transparency

A credible developer ensures:

  • All title deeds are clean and verifiable
  • Sales agreements are clear and legally binding
  • Communication is open and proactive

Beware of deals that seem too good to be true but lack documentation.


3. Financial Strength and Credible Partnerships

Strong developers often have partnerships with reputable banks, contractors, or international investors. These relationships reduce the risk of project delays and improve quality control.

Mi Vida, is financially sound and globally experienced—offering both security and quality.


4. Quality Construction and Finishing

Your home is a long-term asset. Developers who use substandard materials or rush builds compromise your safety and the value of your investment.

Tour a showhouse or completed unit and assess:

  • Structural quality
  • Finishing details
  • Sanitary and electrical fittings

5. Strong Customer Service and After-Sale Support

A trustworthy developer stays present even after the sale. Whether it’s handling snag lists, documentation, or ownership transition, how the developer treats buyers post-sale says a lot.

Mi Vida is known for its hands-on client service, from site visits to key handover.


Final Thoughts: Don’t Just Buy a House. Choose the Right Partner.

The Kenyan real estate space is growing rapidly, but your peace of mind should come first. Always vet the developer before committing to a property.

If you’re looking for a developer who ticks every box—track record, trust, quality, and transparency—Mi Vida and the Keza Riruta project offer a great place to start.
