Khumo has positioned itself as a Property Asset Management company. The company recognizes a need for a strategic focus in improving returns which is normally impaired by the day to day property management of the asset. Hence Asset Management and Property Management are seen as two distinct but complimentary activities in the company. This factor places the company on a much higher standing than companies that offer purely property management services.
