Kernel for real estate
Hire and structure your sales and operations teams in Africa: agencies, agents, property managers, with no subsidiary.
Your challenges
Real estate businesses growing in Africa have very specific needs: sales reps able to prospect and close in local codes, property managers, back-office teams to process leases, and support teams for tenants and owners. Building a local team takes time and market knowledge. Kernel acts as the dedicated African HR partner to accelerate this build: sourcing via Kernel Recruit, contracting via EOR, multi-currency payroll. You focus your resources on commercial development, we manage the local HR layer.
Local sales sourcing
Top real estate sales reps know their city and markets and rarely sit on traditional job boards.
Variable pay management
Commissions sit at the heart of compensation. They must be cleanly integrated into payroll.
Structured back-office
Leases, inventories, collections: administrative support must be reliable and declared.
Agent status
Agent status varies country to country. The contract must reflect the actual relationship.
