Profile

The Man Behind The Institute

Peter Wairegi is not a theoretician who decided to teach. He is a practitioner who has been in the market for decades — and who decided that the knowledge he accumulated across thousands of real transactions deserved to be shared with the world.

His career began in the United States, where he built his foundation in real estate with Century 21 — one of the world's most competitive agency environments. He did not just work in real estate; he led it. As CEO of Nationwide Mortgage Company and Managing Director at Business Finance Group LLC, he operated at the intersection of capital, development, and market strategy.

He has sold over 20,000 residential units and managed commercial real estate across multiple sectors. He has worked with real estate loan portfolios exceeding $1.5 billion — a scale of experience that places him among the most experienced practitioners on the African continent.

Back home in Kenya, he became the CEO of the Kenya Professional Realtors Association and has lectured on real estate marketing and development at Strathmore University — bringing the rigour of his US experience to the rapidly growing East African property market.
