The motive for this combination was to try and more effectively reach out to the ever-growing consumers of professional real estate services in Rwanda.<\/p>\n
The company continued to grow over the years and increased customer base including landlords, tenants, banks, buyers, sellers, researchers, municipalities and developers. <\/p>\n
Century Real Estate (CRE) began at a time when real estate agents were not popular in Rwanda and took time to convince people on such services. <\/p>\n
Later in 2014, Rwigamba Paul joined Haba and Gakwandi to strengthen the capacity of CRE to offer services with improved convenience. <\/p>\n
The long journey to success was reflected recently as the management, staff, and employees of CRE and stakeholders celebrated the 10-year anniversary since Century Real Estate was established. During the ceremony held at Century Park Hotel in Nyarutarama on the evening of 10th May 2019; CRE recognized loyal clients including individuals, government institutions and private institutions that contributed to its growth. <\/p>\n

The CEO of Blue Oceans, Diana Mpyisi expressed delight or joining Century Real Estate to celebrate 10 years anniversary. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am a client of Century Real Estate satisfied with offered services. My investment \u2018Blue Oceans\u2019, is a company specialized in media services and communications operating at Kigali Heights, managed by CRE. I work with them when I need accommodation. They offer convenient services and reliable security,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n
Evelyn Uwera, an estate agent with Century Real Estate said CRE has become unchallenged choice because of good performance. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt has proven prowess to offer good services in real estate agency in Kigali and Rwanda in general,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Paul Rwigamba, the director of a commercial and residential realtor at Century Real Estate said they have an ambition of growing to maintain improved service delivery. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was difficult at the beginning to find a house for sale or selling it through us. As time evolved, people were convinced on the relevance of our services,\u201d he revealed. <\/p>\n
Rwigamba said what they have achieved over 10 years is a result of accumulated trust. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen a person wants to sell a plot of land or house, he gives you related documents. When a tenant is not trustworthy, he can destabilize you or bring thieves,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Rwigamba highlighted that CRE envisages being an international company after delivering services with utmost efficiency to Rwandans and making good use of available opportunities within the country. <\/p>\n
At the outset, Century Real Estate faced challenges of temporary workers but has now stabilized after entering a partnership with the University of Rwanda that provides students for an internship who also get jobs in the company based on performance. CRE has over 35 workers in different departments. <\/p>\n
Ngabo Romeo Romaric who has worked with CRE since 2014 was recognized as the best employee during the celebration. <\/p>\n
He told IGIHE that the reward is a symbol and recognition of his efforts. \u201cWe have good interactions with employers that are like staying with friends and family and is clear that no one can abandon his family.\u201d <\/p>\n
