How verification works
Every listing on CoralStones passes through up to four human-reviewed verification stages before a buyer ever sees it. Here is exactly what we check and why.
Ghost listings, fake agents and forged titles are a real risk in East African property. Our answer is simple: as a standard policy, every listing is reviewed by a human before it goes live.
