The search, flipped

Post what you want. Nairobi answers.

You post the home you are looking for, and matching properties are brought back to you by the people who have them. PataEstate is available for iPhone and Android, and you sign in with your existing Google or Apple account.

Stop scrolling listings that were never meant for you. Say the home you are looking for — area, budget, move-in date — and let agencies and landlords bring the matches to you.

What PataEstate is

PataEstate is a free mobile app for finding a home to rent or buy in Nairobi, Kenya — and for the landlords and agencies who have property to offer. It is available for iPhone and Android, and it is currently in development and testing.

Property websites normally ask you to scroll through listings and call whoever posted them. PataEstate works the other way round. You describe the home you are actually looking for — the area, your budget, how many bedrooms, when you need to move — and that request is shown to landlords and agencies who have property in that area. They reply with the homes that fit, and you decide which of them you want to talk to.

If you are looking for a home

Post one request describing what you want. Agencies and landlords bring you matching properties instead of you hunting for them.

If you have property

See real, current demand in the areas you work in, and answer the requests your properties actually fit.

Your details stay private

Requests are shown anonymously. Your name and phone number are withheld until you choose to answer someone, so nobody can cold-call you.

Signing in with Google or Apple

PataEstate uses Google Sign-In and Sign in with Apple so that you do not need to create or remember another password. We use what they give us to create your PataEstate account and to contact you about it, and nothing else. We never sell your data.

With Google, we receive your name, your email address and an identifier for your Google account. We request only the basic sign-in scopes (openid, email, profile). PataEstate has no access to Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Contacts, photos or any other Google service.

With Apple, we receive even less: an identifier for your Apple account, and your email address if you choose to share it. If you use Apple's Hide My Email, we only ever see the private relay address, which works perfectly well here. Apple does not send us your name.

Full detail is in our Privacy Policy, and the rules of use are in our Terms of Service.
