Kenyans from all walks of life continue to mourn award-winning realtor Mary Diana, the CEO of Modern Homes.
Mary was described as a trailblazer in the real estate industry and an inspiration to many.
The 30-year-old realtor died in her sleep a few days after returning from Dubai where she had gone to celebrate her birthday.
What were Mary Diana’s key achievements?
Mary had achieved a lot at just 30. She had bagged two major awards as recognition for her dedication, success, and impact in the Kenyan real estate scene.
On March 28, she was recognised at the Super Women in Business Awards 2025, organised by Dependable Brands, and she won the Best Real Estate Agency barely three months before her untimely death.
Dressed in a stylish black and orange jumpsuit, Mary walked majestically as she went on stage to receive her award. Sharing photos from the event while flaunting her certificate, Mary wrote a heartwarming message, thanking her supporters and also crediting her hard work for the recognition.
“God did it🏆🥇👏🏻🙏#MDModernHomes we are truly honoured to be recognised as the “BEST REAL ESTATE AGENCY” during the Super Women in Business Awards 2025 by Dependable Brands. A reflection of not only the hard work and dedication we put out there, but also the incredible women who support and inspire each other every day in the Business world and beyond. 🙏Thanks be to God, my mentors, colleagues, clients and followers who believed in me all along the way,” she posted accompanied by the photos below.
In her speech, she thanked the event’s organisers for the recognition and shared a short video.

“Good evening ,everyone. My name is Mary Diana, you can call me MDee.
