Founder · Rental facilitator · Local coordinator
Hello, I'm Larry Strawson.
After 9 years of facing and solving rental and property-management problems in Batumi, I created Kiraoba to bring those practical solutions into one clearer, more accountable system. I remain directly involved between renters, landlords, and agents from the first serious application through the viewing and agreement process.
9 years in Batumi, Georgia
Why Kiraoba exists
A rental should not begin with uncertainty.
My background includes 9 years in Batumi and Georgian real estate, helping international clients understand properties and the Black Sea market. During that time, I repeatedly faced and worked through the same rental and property-management problems: outdated listings, unclear ownership, incomplete property details, informal agreements, and conversations that disappear once people meet.
Kiraoba brings the solutions I developed into one working system. Listings are reviewed, communications are mediated, viewing introductions are recorded, and rental documents are prepared from the information supplied by both parties.
What I personally mediate
Kiraoba is not an anonymous notice board. The operator stays visible throughout the transaction.
Review landlord and property submissions before publication
Keep pre-contract renter communication with Kiraoba
Coordinate protected viewings and record each party’s outcome
Prepare the agreement draft and monitor both reviews
Accountability should continue after move-in.
Kiraoba's review system is designed to reward accurate listings, responsible landlords, and reliable tenants—not simply to collect star ratings. Reviews are requested after a completed or manually ended lease and moderated before publication, helping keep them connected to real rental experiences.
As Kiraoba's home-services network grows, completed cleaning, staging, and handyman jobs can also earn monitored reviews. The aim is to help dependable people and providers build a reputation through work that actually took place.
A mediator, not the landlord.
Kiraoba does not own the listed homes and does not publish landlord submissions automatically. My role is to create a documented, monitored path between the parties. Each party remains responsible for reviewing the final agreement and obtaining independent legal advice when needed.
