Private request

Privacy and discretion

Discretion comes first.

Private requests are not automatically published on Cheru. Details are reviewed before any follow-up. Where a seller wants limited exposure, property information should only be shared with relevant potential buyers and only at the level of detail appropriate for the request.

  • No automatic public listing
  • No public photos required at submission
  • Seller controls disclosure level
  • Buyer briefs are reviewed before follow-up
  • Sensitive details can be discussed directly

Kenya property guidance

Private property sales in Kenya

Not every property owner wants a public listing. Some sellers prefer to test serious interest first, avoid unnecessary attention, or limit who sees photos, exact location, and ownership details. Private selling can be useful for high-value homes, family property, commercial assets, land, and sensitive transactions.

Buyers may also look beyond public property portals when their brief is specific: a particular road, apartment block, land size, commercial use, or price range. A clear acquisition brief helps separate a serious search from general browsing.

Privacy does not remove the need for sound decision-making. Realistic pricing, ownership documentation, title status, verification, and a sensible viewing process still matter in any property transaction.

Direct answers

Private sales questions

What is a private property sale?

A private property sale is handled without automatically advertising the property publicly. The seller can limit the information shared while serious interest and appropriate next steps are reviewed.

Can I sell without posting photos publicly?

Yes. Photos are not required when you submit a private request. Cheru may discuss what information is needed directly with you before anything is shared.

Can Cheru help me find property that is not listed online?

You can submit a buyer brief with the location, property type and budget. Availability is not guaranteed.

Do I need to share the exact location immediately?

No. You can start with an area, road, estate, or county. Enough location context is needed to assess the request, while sensitive details can be discussed directly.

Does submitting a request guarantee a buyer or property?

No. Submitting a request gives Cheru enough information to review the brief and decide whether there is a serious next step.

What details should I include in a private sale request?

Include the property type, general location, expected price or budget, timing, size, condition, title status, and any important requirements or restrictions.

Can diaspora buyers use this service?

Yes. Diaspora buyers can submit a detailed acquisition brief, including budget, preferred locations, timing, and non-negotiables for Cheru to review.

Is this a formal valuation or agency agreement?

No. Submitting a private request is not a formal valuation or agency agreement. Any further service, instruction, or commercial arrangement would be discussed separately.

Have a clear private request?

Submit the details for Cheru to review.
