Amanda Kimani, a young entrepreneur at the age of 25, has made a significant impact in the highly profitable real estate industry.
Amanda stresses the importance of having resilience and steadfast determination when operating in this sector. Her business, Luxe Living, is devoted to handling 37 Nairobi-based Airbnb units plus promoting various facilities. Amanda's pursuit of entrepreneurship only began after losing her trainee position at a property company as a consequence of Covid-19. Determined to realize her ambition of establishing her own firm, Amanda persevered despite the unemployment hardship. By utilizing a combination of personal savings and family guidance, she commenced her dream of starting her own company.
After realizing that substantial financial resources are often required for real estate endeavours, Amanda chose to concentrate on a specific market that allowed for a gradual growth approach. She found her niche in Airbnb, beginning with one unit that she furnished and rented out to guests. Profits appeared on the horizon within just three months, inspiring Amanda to extend the business to five units. Her business offers support and detailed consultation to anyone with an interest in entering the Real Estate industry.
Amanda guides her clients through consultations to pinpoint promising investment possibilities, enrich unit value, forecast earnings and anticipated profitability. To stay apprised of industry developments, Amanda consistently updates her knowledge through ongoing education and extensive reading. He says that success in real estate relies heavily on amassing strong professional associations, particularly with those who may potentially develop as clients or partners. Among the challenges she has faced entails customers cancelling last minute thereby missing good prospects for future leads.
Despite facing obstacles and negativity on account of her young age, she remains undeterred. She recalls a time when she was advised to let go of the Industry lest her determined spirit lead to disappointment. Yet, emboldened by her purpose, she perseveres. Day by day, her enterprise thrives and exceeds its targets. To others aspiring to follow her lead, she advocates looking beyond the crowded market of Nairobi and seeking untapped prospects in tourist hotspots like Nakuru, Nanyuki, Kisumu, and Naivasha.
