FAQ [Frequently Asked Questions]

How much does it cost to join?
Joining house to house membership is free for both house Hunters and Real Estate Agents/Brokers and will remain so, however, all Agents/Brokers will incur a very small monthly fee for maintaining the database of properties and also to keep their properties available online 24/7.

How does findahouse.co.ug benefit [Mufunira wa!]?
Since the service is currently free for agents/brokers; we therefore expect to get our benefits from the adverts/advertisers on the website, as the number of members increases the number of visitors is also expected to grow and hence the number of advertisers will grow too, the advertisers will thus cater for the cost of sustaining the website.

What makes findahouse.co.ug different from any other Website?
findahouse.co.ug has a property search engine that is easy to use; not so may websites have such an advanced search system locally, we also endeavor to provide as many houses as possible from all Agents/Brokers; all in one place so that clients have a variety of choices from which they can select the specific property which suits their needs; this is unlike other websites that have a  few properties limited to the respective Company/Agent/Broker.

Our website also makes things easy for Agents and brokers since the process of updating their properties is straight forward and can be done by the agent himeself from anywhere online with out coming to our offices [Do it your self], and further more; all member Agents/Brokers get an equal opportunity to display their properties with contact details.

How does an Agent get Access to findahouse.co.ug services?
An agent simply has to register on our website [free of charge but subject to the membership agreement] then he/she will be able to login and upload/update as many properties as his/her account can allow.

What if I don't have pictures/images for my properties?
In order to upload any properties to the "findahouse.co.ug" website; you need to have at least 2 images/pictures for each property, it is not possible therefore to upload any properties without any images. so please get a digital camera [or phone camera] and take photos of your properties then; upload them. NB:- if you need help on how to get your photos from the digital camera please contact us we shall assist you if your camera has a "data-cable" or blue tooth/infrared, you can also take pictures with an ordinary camera then later scan them and upload.

What if the landlord does not want images/pictures of his property on the web.
If a land lord does not want images of his properties on the net then you can upload your company logo instead of the picture for the property, this means that when the property is listed; your logo will appear along side the text data of that specific house and not a picture of the house its self. so at the point where you should have uploaded an image of the property; you will upload your company logo instead.

Where does findahouse.co.ug get its properties?
The properties on our website are posted/uploaded by all real estate Agents/Brokers who are registered with us as members, i.e. a member is free to upload/post as many properties as his account can allow, that is very easy to do as long as the agent has access to the internet, hence an agent does not have to come to our premises; they can upload  properties from any where on the internet if they have the details and images of the property they need to upload.

How do I trust the Agents/Brokers on your website
We do not guarantee total fairness of all Agents/Broker on our website, however we endeavor to screen all agents who register with us and in addition to that we rank each and every agent, the ranks range from "Zero Star to Five Star" so you can also use that as a gauge to know who may provide you with a better/fair service, but just in case you don't get a good service from an Agent/Broker on our website then please contact us so that we can panelize that specific Agent/Broker by decreasing his ranking or eliminating him/her completely from the website service.
