Shirley Kongai is a woman of many accomplishments, and her dedication to the real estate industry is second to none. As the president of the Association of Real Estate Agents (AREA) Uganda, she has led the organization through two presidential terms, making her the first woman to hold this position.
Her journey with AREA started from the very beginning, as she was one of the founding members of the association. Shirley worked tirelessly to help shape the legal framework of the organization, which has since become a leading voice in the real estate industry in Uganda.
Shirley's passion for the real estate industry is evident in all that she does. Her goal is to see the industry grow to its full potential, and she is doing all she can to make that a reality. One of her main focuses has been on building a network of AREA chapters across the country. This will ensure that the benefits and services provided by the association are accessible to real estate professionals nationwide, including those in rural areas.
Her experience in management, litigation, negotiation, and arbitration spans over seven years, and she has leveraged this expertise to the benefit of the association. Shirley's role as chairperson of the construction and real estate sector at the Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU) has also helped to strengthen her ties with other players in the industry.
Shirley is a council member of the Real Estate Institute of East Africa and a member of the Federation of Uganda Women Lawyers (FIDA). She is also the managing partner at Kongai & Co Advocates, a law firm in Uganda situated in Kampala that provides legal services. Her legal background includes a diploma in law from Uganda Law Development Center and a Bachelor of Laws from Makerere University. Her skills in intellectual property, arbitration, and commercial litigation have been instrumental in her work at AREA.
Shirley's dedication to the real estate industry is unwavering. She is currently putting a lot of efforts into the development of the real estate agents bill, which will help regulate the industry. Throughout her presidency, she has been lobbying for this bill, which she believes will bring much-needed changes to the industry. Shirley's leadership at AREA and her work in the real estate industry in Uganda have been remarkable, and she continues to inspire and empower others to make a difference.
