As Malawi’s real estate sector struggles with inefficiency, data gaps, and unregulated players, a local technology firm, Valuations Africa Ltd, is stepping in with digital solutions designed to bring order, speed, and transparency to property transactions.
This comes at a time when illegal estate agents continue to dominate the market, undermining confidence among clients and investors.
Seeking to close these gaps, Valuations Africa Ltd and its sister company, iMORRCS Real Estate, have launched an integrated digital ecosystem that connects property valuers, estate agents, banks, and property owners under one online platform.
The initiative aims to professionalize the sector while embracing emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence to improve accuracy and efficiency.
Speaking at the company’s lunch on in Blantyre on Friday, the company’s property specialist Aubrey Namfuko says the industry’s dependence on traditional methods has created inefficiencies that modern technology can easily solve.
“We have a gap in our country where most real estate operations are not digitized. Technology helps us process large data sets faster and more accurately, improving consistency and reliability in property valuation and management” Nathulo said.
According to Namfuko, Valuations Africa Ltd serves as the engine room for data processing in property valuations and transactions, while its sister company, iMORRCS Real Estate, functions as a digital marketplace where users can buy, sell, or rent properties.
He said iMORRCS Real Estate was created to curb illegal real estate practices by ensuring that only registered estate agents, as mandated by the Estate Management Act of 2024, can handle transactions.
“Most property deals in Malawi are facilitated by unqualified players. iMORRCS Real Estate works only with registered agents to guarantee professionalism and protect clients” he said.
The two platforms complement each other with Valuations Africa Ltd managing data collection and analytics, and iMORRCS Real Estate offering the public-facing marketplace where verified listings are displayed.
Beyond digitization, the companies are also addressing youth unemployment by training property scouts recent graduates who help collect and verify property data while gaining hands-on experience in the field.
Operations Manager William Jumbe said quality and ethics remain central to both companies’ operations.
“We can’t compromise on quality. We ensure all transactions are legal, transparent, and compliant with national standards. If something falls short, we stop and redo the process.” Jumbe said.
Valuations Africa Ltd and iMORRCS Real Estate say their long-term vision is to align with sustainable development goals (SDGs) and promote responsible, technology-driven growth in Malawi’s real estate industry.
