In 2017, June founded June Properties Limited in Texas, USA. Her company is dedicated to helping Americans find their ideal homes, offering services ranging from buying and selling to investment consulting.
Her husband later joined the company, contributing his expertise in finance and management, which played a crucial role in the company’s growth.
Today, June Properties Limited successfully sells around four homes per month and assists clients with buying, selling, renting, and leasing properties.
June Onguko’s achievements extend beyond sales figures; her impact on the community is significant. She noted, “Real estate in Houston has seen substantial growth in recent years. When I began, the median house price was between Ksh 22 million and Ksh 29.3 million.
