Our story

Built for Kenya's Rental Market

We started Hodi Homes because we experienced the frustrations of renting in Kenya first-hand — ghost listings, unverified landlords, and no way to book a viewing without making five phone calls.

Why we exist

Renting should be simple, safe, and fair.

Kenya's rental market moves fast, but trust moves slowly. Scam listings, cash-only transactions, and landlords who don't respond — these aren't just inconveniences, they cost people real time and money.

Hodi Homes is our answer: a platform where every listing is posted by a verified landlord, every viewing is booked in seconds, and every payment runs through M-Pesa.

Our Mission

"To make finding a home in Kenya as simple, safe, and stress-free as possible — for both tenants and landlords."

What we stand for

Four values that guide everything we build

Trust

Every landlord is ID-verified before listing. Every tenant can see who they're meeting. Zero tolerance for fraud.

Simplicity

If an action takes more than two taps, we redesign it. Renting is already stressful enough — our app shouldn't add to it.

Community

Built for Kenyans, by Kenyans. Tenant reviews, ratings, and dispute resolution are all part of how we make the market work better for everyone.

Fairness

Transparent pricing. No hidden agency fees, no "goodwill" payments. M-Pesa receipts as proof of every transaction.

Mobile-First

Kenya is mobile-first and so are we. Everything — searching, booking, paying, managing — happens on your phone.

Progress

We ship fast, listen to feedback, and improve every week. The version of Hodi Homes you use today will be meaningfully better in a month.

🇰🇪 Kenya-wide
