On behalf of the Promoters of The Kenya Real Estate Index (KREX), I would like to express our gratitude to the many individuals and organizations who made this survey possible. I would like to first sincerely thank Housing Finance for providing the funds for the survey and providing a forum and necessary facilities to conduct the survey. I would also like to express the promoters' gratitude to the following for their participation in the formulation of the survey objectives and questions:

• Staff of Housing Finance; Mr. Charles Kamari, Director of Risk, Mr. Julius Muia, Director of Finance and Mr. Peter Kimeu, Senior Valuer;
• Alister Murimi, and Timothy Saruni of CitiVillas Valuers Limited;
• Samuel Odiembo of Tysons;
• B. K. Terer and Wilberforce Oundo of Regent Management Limited;
• Timothy Njehia and Luke Madende of Crystal Valuers Limited;
• Frank Nzioka of Lloyd Masika Ltd; and

Special gratitude goes to the enumerators Margaret Waruiru, Chrispine Mwangemi, Douglas Mokua, David Mwaniki and Anthony Warui who despite the difficulties encountered in arranging appointments and conducting interviews managed to collect all the needed information.

Lastly I would like to thank the respondents for finding time to either fill the questionnaires or to be interviewed.

Thank you all
