About this app

Colobus Properties is Kenya's most powerful property platform — built with deep expertise and backed by live Google Maps, OpenStreetMap data and AI insights. Built for buyers, sellers, investors, and agents who want more than just a listing. Whether you're trading land, finding a home, or tracking live bank auctions, everything you need is in one app.
📍 List Your Land or Home in Minutes — Not Hours
Drop a pin on Google Maps and the app instantly queries live map data to auto-fill your listing with verified nearby details: infrastructure, schools, hospitals, utilities, communication networks, and nearest towns. No typing. No guessing. Just pin and post.
✏️ Draw Land Boundaries on Satellite View
Trace the exact perimeter of your plot directly on a live Google Maps satellite view. The app calculates the area in acres and m² automatically — and every buyer sees the real boundaries with numbered corner markers. No more vague descriptions.
🏠 Homes & Apartments — Now Live
Browse and list apartments, villas, townhouses, and maisonettes with full detail: bedroom and bathroom counts, size in m², verified developer badge, payment plans (cash or instalment), new build or resale condition, and a photo and video gallery — all in one card.
🔨 Live Bank & SACCO Land Auctions
Never miss a statutory land auction again. Browse verified bank and SACCO auctions with real-time countdown timers, starting bids, participation deposits, bidding method (physical, online, or sealed), and a direct WhatsApp link to the auctioneer. Set reminders before closing.
🗺️ Interactive Intel Map for Buyers — Powered by OpenStreetMap
Tap the map pin on any listing and an instant intel map opens — live satellite and hybrid tiles, 18 categories of nearby POIs fetched live from OpenStreetMap (schools, hospitals, markets, banks, churches, bus stops and more), tarmac road finder with exact distance, drawn land boundaries, and a Get Directions button via Google Maps.
📡 Locate Me & Road Intelligence
Enable Locate Me to see your exact GPS position, straight-line distance to the property, and estimated driving distance and travel time by road — calculated live using OpenStreetMap routing. An orange dashed line automatically finds and marks the nearest tarmac, rural, and murram roads using live Overpass API data.
🤖 AI Image Analysis
Upload any property image and ask AI to analyze terrain, soil type, vegetation, build quality, and investment potential — giving you insights no other property app in Kenya offers.
💬 Direct WhatsApp to Sellers — No Commission
Every listing has a WhatsApp button. One tap opens a direct chat with the seller or auctioneer. No middlemen. No agency fees. No delays.
📊 Trending Lands & Dual Dashboards
See properties trending near you or by county within 24 hours. Companies and individuals get separate role-based dashboards with analytics: views, likes, and trending status.
