In the world of ultra-high-net-worth real estate, a broker’s greatest asset isn’t their portfolio, it’s their philosophy. For Sansi Dietz, the newly minted honoree in the Luxury Lifestyle Awards’ “TOP 100 Real Estate Brokers of the World,” success is measured by the depth of the journey walked alongside the client.

When Luxury Lifestyle Awards (LLA) curates its annual “Best of the Best” selections, it seeks professionals who do more than close deals; it identifies those who elevate the entire industry. This year, the spotlight falls on Kenya’s Sansi Dietz, the founder of Sansi Africa Limited. This recognition places her 14-year legacy on a global stage, celebrating a professional who pairs sharp market fluency with a profound commitment to conservation and wellness.

A Career Defined by Excellence

Sansi’s career is a masterclass in evolution. Beginning in 14 years ago in residential rentals and sales across half of the Nairobi market, she over-time transitioned to a specialized focus on the high-end residential markets. While her name became synonymous with Nairobi’s most prestigious enclaves—Muthaiga and Spring Valley—her reach has since expanded. Today, through Sansi Africa Limited, she covers real-estate consultancy and advisory solutions across Kenya, offering an expertise that is rare in the luxury sector.

Her track record within the industry is nothing short of historic:

• 5-Time Emerald Circle Agent: The ultimate industry accolade, awarded to the top 1% of agents (approximately 20 out of 2,500) for unprecedented sales records.
• 7-Time Sales Agent of the Year for Africa: A testament to her dominance across the continent’s luxury landscape.
• 13-Time Gold Club Agent: Maintaining a decade-plus streak of elite performance from 2013 through 2025.
• The Face of “Live Remarkable”: Sansi was one of only three agents selected to represent the “Live Remarkable” campaign for her previous company.

Knowledge as Power

Sansi’s working philosophy is built on a simple, ironclad premise: Priority of the client above all else. In a market that can often feel opaque, Sansi prides herself on being a beacon of transparency.

“I believe knowledge is power and trust is the currency of the future,” Sansi says. “It is incredibly important for me to understand my area deeply and be truthful about every step of the process. My aim is to find a solution to your real estate need, not just a property on a list.”

The “Our Trees” Legacy: A Greener Kenya

Beyond the boardroom, Sansi is a formidable force in Kenyan conservation. In 2018, she founded the Urban Forest Initiative, Grow, born from a desire to educate children about the vital importance of protecting indigenous ecosystems. The initiative was so successful that it was incorporated into the “Heart of Gold” docket by her previous firm.

As she transitions to her new venture, the initiative is evolving into Our Trees. The goal is ambitious: moving beyond urban forests to a country-wide impact. To date, the initiative has:

• Successfully grown over 3,000 indigenous trees in schools, forests, and along major bypasses.
• Partnered with global institutions, including the British High Commission, RSM, and the Aga Khan Education Service (AKES).
• Earned Sansi the prestigious Lion Award for her contribution to Kenya’s forests.

Sansi also brings her leadership to the boards of various local and regional residents’ associations and was a founding member of the Nairobi Arboretum and currently serves on the Board of Friends of Karura Forest, where she has spent the last 7 years dedicating her time to the protection of the “lungs” of Nairobi and all the fauna and flora that inhabit the great Karura Forest.

A Holistic Approach to Life and Luxury

What sets Sansi apart is her profound understanding that a home is more than just a physical structure—it is a sanctuary for health, growth, and family. As a mother of three, she possesses a firsthand understanding of the practical and emotional needs that define a family home. This perspective is further deepened by her commitment to health modalities that support balanced living in an increasingly fast-paced world.

Having navigated her own challenging journey with a child who was unwell in her early years of motherhood, Sansi discovered the transformative benefits of BodyTalk. This consciousness and energy-based system empowered her to support her own family’s well-being, leading her to become a certified practitioner. Today, she extends this expertise beyond her own home, offering BodyTalk sessions predominantly to mothers and children to help them achieve the same sense of harmony and health. This unique intersection of real estate expertise, wellness advocacy, commitment to community and dedication to conservation sets Sansi apart from the rest.

BodyTalk is a consciousness-based healthcare system focused on addressing the whole person. Sansi practices BodyTalk as a dedicated and independent modality, offering clients a supportive space for healing and self-awareness, separate from her work in real estate.

The New Frontier: Sansi Africa Limited

With the launch of Sansi Africa Limited, Sansi is embarking on a new chapter in real-estate, wellness and conservation. While her website is slated for a March debut, her reputation precedes her. The LLA TOP 100 recognition serves as a global validation of what her clients in Kenya have known for 14 years: Sansi Dietz doesn’t just sell real estate; she builds the future of the Kenyan landscape, one tree and one home at a time.
