Real estate firm Username has been named the leading real estate company in Kenya by the African Real Estate Summit & Awards that honor excellence in real estate development, innovation, and customer service.

The Kenyan firm was feted during the African Real Estate Summit Awards held at The Heron Hotel, Nairobi, yesterday.

"This recognition as the Leading Real Estate Company of the Year 2024 is a transformative power of working towards our vision. We are happy that while working to make homeownership a reality our efforts and commitment are recognized and celebrated," Sarah Wahogo, the CEO of Username Investment,said.

"We hope to transform more lives and help fulfill more dreams of home ownership. Our greatest achievement is that we have issued over 21,000 title deeds and have continually demonstrated our dedication to providing sustainable and inclusive home ownership solutions."

This year's awards theme focused on sustainable real estate and how to achieve it.

The theme highlights the importance of developing environmentally responsible and resource-efficient properties that can meet the needs of the present without compromising the future. Central to this is the concept of affordable housing, which aims to provide quality living spaces within the financial reach of all citizens.

"The award comes at a time when Username Investment is deeply committed to helping Kenyans access affordable housing. We're making this possible by providing affordable, value-added land across various regions in Kenya," Sarah added.

"Right now, we're proudly serving communities in Nakuru, Nairobi, and Kisumu, offering land that's not only affordable but also enriched with value adds. But we're not stopping there. Our vision is to expand to even more towns, curbing urbanization challenges while continuing to provide Kenyans with access to affordable, well-developed land. Together, we're building a future where every Kenyan can own a piece of this great nation."
