Real estate firms and lenders are angling for a piece of the Sh163 billion that Kenyans in the diaspora send home annually. Real Estate Maximum (RE/MAX) Heritage, a firm offering professional real estate services, equips Kenyans abroad with information that enables them to identify and evaluate investment opportunities despite limitations of distance.
To achieve this, it is holding investment expos in various countries showcasing real estate opportunities in Kenya to grow the economy and minimise investment losses. From September 22 to October 3, 2016, the firm will hold a global diaspora property and investment expo in Toronto and Ottawa, Canada, where 50 Kenyan real estate firms will meet investors.
