Avoid Getting Scammed in Real Estate: In this article, Dennis Wandera Walubengo, the General Manager and Head of Business Development at Fanaka Real Estate, speaks to Smag, a publication of ‘Saturday Nation’ on why sometimes it is important to leave your job to grow and most importantly, what to look for to avoid being scammed in Real Estate industry.
Here below is his story.
My career breakthrough came when I learned how to manage up. I started looking at my employer as my client. This required me to align my strategy with my employers.
One of the biggest career misconceptions is that you have to agree with all your boss’s or clients’ demands without considering whether they are reasonable or feasible.
I am constantly setting new goals and acquiring skills I do not possess. I always think about what role I am playing in life. I have gotten to where I am through reading books. This has really helped me improve my work experience by learning how to do things better.
When COVID-19 hit Kenya, most of our clients were skeptical about investing. The developed a wait and see attitude. The market has however bounced back. For those with some cash, this is the best time to invest.
Most companies are giving discounts, flexible payment plans, and offers, all of which present a good opportunity in the market before it goes back to price correction. Real estate is an illiquid asset and it is advisable that one should check their cash flow before investing.
I stayed in a dead-end job for too long. I was working in a firm in a junior position with limited prospects of growth while earning just enough to see me to the end of the month. This hurt me financially. Do not be stuck in one career position. At the beginning of one’s career, it is the technical skills that matter but later you can interact with people count.
About Investing
I save through money funds and Sacco’s. With this method, my money grows annually with fixed interest returns in the money market funds and I receive dividends through my Sacco. I can also my savings anytime I need them
How To Avoid Being Scammed in Real Estate
Documentation is the key to spot a scam in real estate. More so when you are buying land. This is why it is advisable to buy land from companies because you can authenticate the legitimacy of the company and its directors through documents of incorporation.
The title deed should bear the name of the firm. Walk away in the event that the company’s documents are in doubt or the title deed search do no correlate with the vendor.
When faced with a choice, being radically transparent and open-minded should be your first instinct. It is not easy because it exposes you to criticism, but do not let fears of what others think of you stand in your way.
This publication was first published in the Smag, a publication of the ‘Saturday Nation.’
Thinking of buying land, try Rendition Properties, trusted dealers of, and other properties.

Tae Says, I lost my phone and the driver was really helpful and kind when he returned me the phone back. He did not even take tips.
Richard adds, Comfortable, However, The bus left knowing the driver had an insufficient number of hours to complete the trip We had to stop twice to figure out if he had permission to complete the trip in fact we stopped 300 yards from the station WHY? There was no driver relief. Why did the bus not have a driver who could complete the trip why did we not have a relief driver why must we arrive 2 hours late due to poor management control?

Great way to travel! Comfortable, quiet and safe!

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE that I wrote about here, will be available in Kenya from 23rd October 2020 with pre-orders will begin on the 9th of October 2020.
The phone will sell for Ksh.79,999.00 and given that there are two variants, we are not sure which will be selling in the Kenyan market.
If you have not read about the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE specifications, then for knowledge, there are two variants. With what has been going around for some time, we are likely to see a phone with 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal memory. The phone is unlikely to support 5G, which is not yet available in the country.
There is also a second model that features 8GB RAM and 256GB and which supports 5G, but we are unlikely to see this brought in.
Speaking to the media, Charles Kimari, Head of Integrated Mobile Department at Samsung Electronics East Africa said, “We are constantly speaking to our fans and taking feedback, and we heard what they loved the most about our Galaxy S20 series, what features they used most often and what they would want to see in a new smartphone. The S20 FE is an extension of the Galaxy S20 family and is the start of a new way to bring meaningful innovation to even more people to let them do the things they love with the best of Galaxy.”
The Fan Edition, which is what FE means, is a cheaper alternative to the famous Galaxy S20 series. Though is touted as a cheaper phone, at Ksh. 79,999.00 is a bit high for the Kenyan market.
Samsung says that the Galaxy S20 FE is a result of the effects COVID-19 on the world market. The phone was produced by cutting costs and thereby producing a phone that is cheaper but of high quality.
The phone comes with a large battery, more color options, water-resistant, and good cameras a fact that Samsung says is a result of feedback collected from customers.
The Launching of the Galaxy S20 SE adds another good phone to the Kenya market as more manufactures seek to have a piece of the market.
The phone is likely to be available at shops such a Safaricom, and online stores such a Masoko, Jumia, and Kilimall.

Leading media and Entertainment Company, WarnerMedia, has expanded its entertainment offering in Kenya by introducing its Hollywood blockbuster channel, TNT, on pay television Company StarTimes media platform.
StarTimes subscribers in Kenya will be able to enjoy an action-driven, pulse-raising slate of movies, mixed with romantic gems and hilarious comedy, alongside original TNT productions.
WarnerMedia has a long-standing relationship with StarTimes with the broadcaster already distributing TOONAMI, the go-to destination for action and animation movie enthusiasts of all ages. The new TNT deal will further diversify its channel offering giving StarTimes’ viewers access to the high-quality blockbuster movie channel offering.
Speaking on the introduction of the new channel, StarTimes regional marketing director Mr. Aldrine Nsubuga noted that the launch of TNT on StarTimes demonstrates the brand’s unremitting commitment to deliver premium content to Kenyan subscribers, making top family entertainment accessible to more households across its subscriber base.
“Having TNT on board for our subscribers intensifies our progressive efforts to bolster our content offering for the whole family entertainment as we seek to grow the value of our bouquet offering to subscribers across the country,” said Mr. Nsubuga.
As part of the launch, TNT has an exciting line-up of never-before-seen titles with the premiere of its latest TNT Original Movie, Human Capital; a Fan Month block dedicated to the best titles of Denzel Washington (Remember the Titans, Déjà vu, The Hurricane and Fallen); and the reoccurring Film Fight stunt, where in September, an original movie will be faced against one of its sequels, every Friday evening, in a double feature, bringing up sagas such as The Transporter, National Treasure, Karate Kid, and Free Willy.
