HassConsult was formed in 1993 by Mohamed and Hamida Hassanali with a vision to establish a comprehensive Real Estate firm. The quest for HassConsult's excellence in customer service began as a result of Mohamed Hassanali's desire to radically change the way real estate agents conducted their business in Nairobi. In the past, clients interested in real estate often received inefficient and unreliable services; rarely did they receive published brochures or advertisements with detailed descriptions, and the prices of real estate properties were never listed for customers to review.

Today, we are proud to announce a variety of services ranging from new property development and consultancy to letting, selling, and managing residential and commercial properties, and more recently, commercial and residential valuations. Clients can readily review a wide range of HassConsult's properties at the web site, www.hassconsult.co.ke, which provides sharp photographs and maps. Clients all over the world review these services, and daily HassConsult receives e-mail messages praising the quality of our advertisements. Hence, the reputation and integrity of HassConsult continues to attract clients who are serious and ready to conduct business with a dynamic and assertive real estate firm

Family Finance Building Society (FFBS) has grown from a small building society into a formidable financial institution that helps income earners improve their lives and the lives of their families through the services it provides.

The institution was established with the key aim of assisting the common 'mwana-inchi' i.e ordinary citizens in the rural areas to manage their income through saving and hence develop the family. FFBS identified the need to assist this group and acted upon it. It may come as a surprise to some, but in the past, financial services were inaccessible to low income earners. FFBS is indeed the leader in serving low income earners i.e small coffee, tea and dairy farmers, teachers, civil servants and local government staff, small scale business people, 'jua-kali' artisans and women in business individually or as organised groups.

The institution has provided savings and loan services enabling its customers not only to grow in business but also attend to personal needs such as paying medical bills, school fees, food and for other domestic expenses. Savers in Family Finance Building Society have also benefited from seasonal agricultural credit, crop advances, small business loans and emergency loans when the need arises.

The institution realises that it is the small businesses that form the backbone of and carry the burden of turning around a depressed economy if they are given the support they require. Thousands of Kenyans have benefited from the savings and credit facilities offered by our branches.
