Pango · buying a home in Kenya, from anywhere
Find the right home.Understand what you're buying.Buy it with confidence.

What do you want?
Why Pango
A home is the biggest thing most of us will ever buy, and we piece it together from Instagram posts, WhatsApp chats, brochures, spreadsheets, agents, site visits and a lawyer we haven't called yet. Pango brings it into one journey and walks you through it, one decision at a time.
How it feels today
Hundreds of pieces. No picture.
Posts, chats, brochures, missed calls, a spreadsheet you started and a lawyer you haven't called yet. Every one raises another question, and none of them talk to each other.
What Pango does first
It pulls the pieces into one place.
Every project and unit described the same way, with its documents, people, prices and progress on one record that stays with you.
Then
One question at a time.
Underneath the noise there are only a few questions that matter. Pango answers them in order, so you decide with a clear head instead of a full one.

What keeps buyers up at night
Six worries come with every home.Each has an answer.
Developers and agents know far more about a property than the person buying it. Pango exists to close that gap, so you decide on what's true, not on what you were told.
Today
Homes are spread across Instagram posts, WhatsApp groups, agents and a dozen websites. Many are duplicated, out of date or already sold, and none are laid out the same way.
With Pango
One marketplace with every project and unit described the same way: location, price, floor plans, amenities, media and availability, taken from the developer's own inventory.
Today
A beautiful render doesn't tell you whether the unit is big enough, the location works, the amenities are useful or the price is fair.
With Pango
Tell Pango what you want and it curates the homes that fit, explains why, and lets you compare a few good options side by side, down to the price per square metre.
Today
Delayed or abandoned developments, promises that don't match the contract, titles that take years. A brochure shows what the developer intends, not what is on site.
With Pango
The project's documents, approvals and consultants in one place, with dated site evidence from SiteSeer where the project uses it. Each item is labelled: provided by the developer, checked, outstanding or expired.
Pango never calls a property legally verified unless the check was done, and points you to an independent advocate.
Today
From London, Dubai or Toronto you can't drop by the site, you depend on whichever agent replies, and the important details get lost in voice notes.
With Pango
Walk the project in 3D and 360°, book a video consultation in hours that suit you, keep every question and answer on one record, and sign and pay online.
Today
The listed price is only part of it. Stamp duty, legal fees, valuation and deposits arrive later, as surprises, and payment plans are hard to compare.
With Pango
Every unit shows the full cost of buying it, the deposit and instalments it needs, and how a developer plan, a mortgage or cash compares for you.
Today
You repeat the same questions to different agents, documents sit in chat histories, and nobody tells you what happens next or whose turn it is.
With Pango
Your account keeps the shortlist, enquiries, your contact at the developer, viewings, reservation, documents and payments. After you book, MyHome takes you to the keys.
Wherever you are
Your home is in Kenya.You don't have to be.
Pango is built for buyers who can't drop by the site on a Saturday. Everything you would do in person, you can do from where you live, at hours that work for you.

Chapter 02 · The real price
The price on the listingis never the whole price.
Stamp duty, legal fees, valuation, deposits for service charge and utilities: the costs that usually arrive as a surprise. Pango adds them to every unit, then shows you how each way of paying works out.

Illustrative figures for a sample unit. On Pango every cost is calculated for the unit you pick.
“Can I trust it?”
Everything you'd ask the developer,answered before you ask.
Walk through the unit, see every consultant attached to the project, read the legal and approval documents with what has and hasn't been checked, and follow construction progress captured on site. Not a brochure: the project's own record.
“How would I live there?”
Your commute, your shops, your schools,before you move in.
Pick a home and where you work. Pango drives the route, times it and prices it. Then see what's around: groceries, schools, clinics and parks, placed on the map with how far each one is and what getting there costs you each month.

“Is it worth it?”
Buying to rent it out?Run the numbers first.
Pango's AI builds a ten-year view of any unit: rent, occupancy, costs and what the home could be worth. It reads the developer's offer memorandum for you, then puts it all in a presentation you can take home, print and share.
Illustrative projection, not financial advice. Costs assumed at 15% of rent.
“What happens next?”
From “I like this one”to your name on it.
No calls to chase, no forms to courier. Ask for an update, book, sign and pay from your phone, and the people on the other side see it straight away.
Pango → Sales → Legal → MyHome
One record, four hands.
When you book, Pango hands your purchase to the developer's team, then the advocates, then MyHome. Nobody asks you the same thing twice.
