As of 2025, there is no verified real estate company, agent, or developer in Kenya operating under the name “Nyabohanse”.
The name “Nyabohanse” does not appear in any of the following:
- Institution of Surveyors of Kenya (ISK) registry of licensed agents
- Major real estate platforms (Jumia House, Zimasa, Fuzu)
- Google search results for property firms
- Social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn)
- Developer partner networks (Bloom Court, Saphyre, Optiven, Zimele)
🔍 Possible Explanations
1. Name Misunderstanding or Typo
The name may be a mishearing or misspelling of a real estate brand, such as:
- Nyayo Homes (government housing)
- Nabohanse (a personal name, not a firm)
- Nyambura Homes or Hanse Real Estate
- “Nya-bo-hanse” – possibly a mix of Swahili/English and a foreign name
2. Local or Unregistered Agent
It could be a small-scale, unlicensed individual using the name informally to sell land or plots, especially in rural areas. However:
- No ISK license means illegal operation
- No NEMA or county approval = high fraud risk
- No title verification = no legal protection
3. Scam or Fake Profile
Scammers often use unusual or Western-sounding names to target diaspora Kenyans. Be cautious if:
- You found the name on WhatsApp only
- They ask for M-Pesa payments to a personal number
- There’s no office, site visit, or paperwork
- No NEMA or county approval is provided
