Guyana HomeHub brings verified property search to the International Building Expo 2026

Guyana HomeHub, the real estate search platform that launched in January, will exhibit at the International Building Expo 2026, running June 25 to 28, 2026 at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence. The platform positions itself as a trusted alternative to the social-media property listings that have long defined house and land hunting in Guyana, replacing what its founder calls “chaos” with a managed platform where agents and listings are reviewed and approved before they appear.

The Expo comes as Guyana’s property market moves with one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Yet buyers and renters, both at home and across the diaspora in cities such as New York, Toronto and London, have had no single trusted portal to search, leaving most transactions to informal Facebook and WhatsApp posts where scams and duplicate listings are common.

Since launching on January 7, 2026, Guyana HomeHub has grown to more than 42 approved agents and over 155 active listings, and is available free on the web and as an app on both iOS and Android. The company reports an iOS conversion rate of 29.6 percent, roughly six times the industry average, which it points to as a sign of strong demand for a trusted service.

Agents are reviewed and approved before they can publish, and listings are screened before they appear. The platform does not claim every agent is government-licensed — in Guyana, formal licensing can take years — but says it provides a level of accountability that informal channels do not.

“For too long, buying property in Guyana has meant Facebook posts, WhatsApp messages and hoping it’s real,” said founder and CEO Darren L. Buckner. “We built Guyana HomeHub to bring order to that chaos — agents and listings reviewed, real accountability, one trusted place.”

A significant part of the platform’s audience sits overseas, among Guyanese who left for opportunity and now want to invest back home. The platform is built to let them search, verify and connect with real agents from abroad.

“Guyanese in New York, Toronto and London want to invest back home, but the fear of being scammed stops them,” Buckner said. “We exist to remove that fear.”

Buckner, a US-based entrepreneur whose wife, Rochelle Buckner, is Guyanese, built the platform himself over roughly seven months using artificial intelligence as his development team, with no prior formal technical training. He describes the market as personal as much as commercial. Guyana HomeHub is the first market of Portal HomeHub, a multi-country platform he calls “the Zillow of the Global South.”

At the International Building Expo, the Guyana HomeHub team will demonstrate the platform and the app at its booth and engage directly with visitors exploring the country’s building and property sector.

“The International Building Expo is where Guyana shows what it’s building,” Buckner said. “A verified real estate platform belongs in that conversation.” [Press Release]
