Real estate investment can be a lucrative endeavor, offering potential for significant returns and portfolio diversification. However, when it comes to real estate, one of the fundamental questions investors face is whether to invest in residential property or commercial property.

🇺🇬 IS THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR IN UGANDA INDEPÈNDENT ON INDEPÈNDENCE DAY?
Shirley Kongai, the president of the Association of Real Estate Agents (AREA) was asked the question "What does independence mean to you as a real estate agent?", below is a systematic break down of her thought-provoking response in which she explored the concept of independence beyond its traditional political sense: Understanding Independence Beyond Its Literal Meaning So, what does independence mean to me as a real estate agent? Of course, the literal meaning of independence is freedom, the freedom to be us, the freedom to be Uganda, the freedom to be Ugandans, the freedom to govern ourselves in our own Ugandan way and to take care of our interests as Ugandans.

THE RED’S ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT MODEL IS BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS INVOICING MODEL.
The Real Estate Database (RED) has always strived to provide a seamless and efficient experience for its agents. Initially, we operated with an invoicing system for annual subscriptions. However, it quickly became clear that this model had significant drawbacks. Agents could delay payments for months, while using the active services as a means to extend their subscription without paying the full amount upfront. This not only caused cash flow issues for RED but also added administrative overhead in chasing down these payments.The Rise of Mobile Money: A Game-Changer.The introduction of mobile money completely transformed the way RED handles payments. By allowing online prepayments in smaller, manageable amounts, agents could now conveniently pay in advance without feeling the pressure of settling a large annual bill. This shift saved RED from the time and resources involved in collecting partial payments, which often required multiple trips.Why We Moved Away from the Invoicing Model.It

WHY THE RED DOES NOT WORK DIRECTLY WITH LANDLORDS.
If you've ever wondered why the Real Estate Database (RED) chooses not to work directly with landlords, you're not alone. On the surface, it might seem like a logical move, cutting out the middleman, right? But scratched the surface a little, and we discovered that working  with landlords directly is not only inefficient, but also a recipe for chaos, conflict of interest, and collapse. Let's start with something obvious that people tend to ignore: landlords are busy. Really busy. Most landlords aren't just sitting around waiting for property buyers or tenants to call. They're entrepreneurs, executives, farmers, importers, and dealmakers, constantly on the move and juggling multiple interests.That means when a serious buyer wants to view a property, there's a good chance the landlord won't pick up the phone, won't show up on time, or worse, won't follow up at all. As a result, leads go cold, property buyers get frustrated, and deals fall apart. You've probably tried calling a la
