Why verification is required

Age confirmation protects marketplace activity

DirectHome Kenya requires people using listing and agent tools to be at least 18 years old. You confirm this when creating an account. Before you can list property or apply as an agent, the dashboard may require identity and age verification.

This helps keep professional and transaction-related activity accountable. Verification does not make a listing automatically approved; property details still go through moderation.

Quick answers

Registration and property listing FAQs

Short answers to the questions people most often ask before creating an account or adding property.

How do I create a DirectHome Kenya account?

Open Create Account, enter your details, choose a secure password, confirm that you are at least 18, accept the Terms and Privacy Policy, and submit the form.

How do I list my own property?

Create or sign in to your account, complete the required listing verification, choose Add Property, enter accurate details and photos, select the exact private map location, and submit the listing for review.

How do I register as a property agent?

Create a normal account first, complete age and identity verification, open Agent Application, provide the requested professional details, and wait for approval before listing authorised property.

Do I need to be 18 to list a property?

Yes. Property listing and agent activities are restricted to adults aged 18 or over. You confirm your age during registration and may need to verify it before listing.

Why do I need age verification?

Age verification helps DirectHome Kenya restrict property transactions and professional listing tools to adults and supports safer, accountable use of the marketplace.

How do I add the property location?

In the property form, search for the area and place the pin on the exact property location. The exact coordinates stay private; public listings show only an approximate area.

Why does DirectHome Kenya require GPS when creating a listing?

DirectHome Kenya requires an exact private map location for each listing. Device GPS confirmation is optional: if completed at the property, it can add a verified-location badge, but it is not required to submit the listing.
