About
MKA Real Estate

Building relationships and trust through decades of real estate excellence.

In 1981, Mamad Kashani Akhavan (MKA) started a real estate agency from his bedroom with just £100 and no office. MKA made headlines by selling a house in Knightsbridge, London, for a record £1 million in 1984. Today, we remain connected with the original buyer and seller, reflecting the lasting relationships we build.
