We got tired of the same story
Somebody sees a flat on Facebook. The photos are lovely. They pay a deposit to hold it. The flat was rented three weeks ago, and the number stops answering. Everybody in Douala knows a version of this.
The market is not short of property
There is plenty of stock in Douala, Yaounde, Kribi, Buea and Bafoussam. What is missing is a way to tell, before you spend a Saturday and a tank of fuel, whether a listing is real, whether the person advertising it has the right to, and what you will actually have to pay on the day you get the keys.
Classifieds groups and generic marketplaces were never built for that. They have no notion of a titre foncier, no notion of caution and avance, and no reason to care whether the same photo of a villa in Bonapriso has been reposted forty times.
So we built the boring parts properly
SlayImmo is a marketplace, but the design decisions are all about verification rather than volume. Vendors submit identity and business documents that a human reviews. Every sale listing must declare its paperwork. Every rental listing shows the total a tenant needs on move-in day, not just the monthly rent. Only people who actually made contact through the platform can leave a review.
None of that is glamorous. All of it is what the market was missing.
Where we stand
We take no commission on your transaction, and the platform is free to use. We are building the audience first: a marketplace nobody can find is worth nothing to a vendor, whatever it charges. That keeps our incentives pointed at listing quality rather than at billing.
We are also clear about the limits: we do not visit properties, we do not verify titles at the land registry, and we never hold your money. Anyone who tells you a platform can guarantee those things is selling you something.

What we hold to
A badge you can rely on
Verification is done by people, not by an algorithm, and it is withdrawn when behaviour slips.
Prices with nothing hidden
Caution, avance and agency fees are structured fields, not fine print. The real cost of entry is on the card.
Both official languages
French and English are equals here, from the interface down to individual listings. Buea and Bamenda are not an afterthought.
Built for the network we have
Light pages, no heavy frameworks, and every feature still usable on an intermittent 3G connection.
Come and use it
Whether you are hunting for a two-bedroom in Makepe or you have twelve properties to place, it starts the same way.
