Why would you commit money to someone you haven't met? And an agent for that matter? I think it's a very wrong approach |

In d event of doubting d genuity of a particular Agent, me feel buyers and Agents alike would do themselves/ourselves a lot of good by ensuring that d Agents they/we transact a property business with are able to convince us beyond reasonable doubts with d following: A. Name (with a valid proof). B. That he/she can be identified with a Real Estate or Agency firm that is duly registered with CAC either as a Business Name or Limited company. C. Ensure that at least a meeting is fixed 2 hold in d office of d so-called Agent (not at a fast food joint). D. Do all necessary due diligence depending on d peculiarity of the business on ground. Whether d results of all of d above meets your/our satisfaction should promptly determine your/our line of action of either to: ** "flee from all appearances of evil" ** Continue to dine with d devil (with or without a long spoon) or ** Carry on with d transaction with d noble fellow.

lawyer: For a long time now, a lot of fraudulent agents have been on Nairaland posting properties that have no head or tail and violating the rules of the property section. You see some of them posting over 20 Properties for sale on the home page and they either have no direct link to the properties or are just making the property section very unbearable to read and enjoy. So I now want to be exposing them and banning them and advising you to avoid them at all costs because they are confirmed Scammers. The only way you can sanitize the property section from hoodlums and spammers is to require each poster to post their properties with pictures. The moment you start to delete posts with no pictures, then you know who has access to the property they are advertizing or who doesn't have access to the property. How can someone post a property for sale without setting eyes on the property or without knowing anything about the property? If you have access to a property you should be able to take pictures of the property and post it here. 1 Like |

payless: Pictures could be helpful but they wont stop spammers,pictures could be cooked up. Intending buyers should always excercise DEEP caution when dealing with ANY property seller/agent on this forum(even when physical contact has been established),NO FINANCIAL commitments should be made,until AFTER all due diligence/verifications as to the authenticity of the property have been completed by the intending buyer |

I think there is always a good solution to this problem if nairaland can create a portal between the buyer and seller where by once the buyer is fully satified,confirmed the property and with the bids then the buyer would pay through nairaland after proper documentation is done.so the payment would be through nairaland and the seller once the property is geniu or money back if the buyer isn't satisfied with it.Moderator think about this. |

What you are describing is called ESCROW. where there is a type of middlemen arrangement to act as a go between. The trouble with that is that it will not be free. What's the motivation for Nairaland or any company for that matter to offer that service for free? Just in the name of protecting the buyer? Trust Nigerians, everyone will like to be safe and secure in their transaction but no one is willing to pay for it. As soon as they know it costs money, they run for the hills. Penny wise, pound foolish and they come here crying if something goes wrong. And the agent will play on this by asking them to hurry to get a land/house that is not available in the 1st place. They will convince the buyer that going thru the process is a waste of time. Proper investigation is still the key. If you are not sure, i will advise that you stop and save your money. My 2 cents |

I STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS. Since a real transaction could take place, there is need for the suggested measure to be in place and this will also boost the credibility accorded Nairaland.com which has really gained very good ground amidst Africans both home and abroad. Please and please Seun should be kind to look into this and a guarded REVIEW of each agent should be made available alongside their profile which they themselves cannot edit or influence. By so doing, any one wishing to deal with such agent or an individual would be able to tell from the agent's profile, he or she would able to tell from the past feedback that the agent has goodwill. Before any agent is approved on NL, they should be screened by the OP, asking for some documents such as listed below as quoted, after the detailed screening, then they can be approved to post any thread on the forum. We want good result. Please lawyer and Seun, kindly look into this and bear in mind this should not only apply to the property section but to extend to all facet of NL. Thank you. Walem Global RKVINTLTD: I appreciate those who contributed to this forum. |
