@james

While i consider you to be one of the respectable members of nairaland properties, one of your arguments seems flawed:

If you say posting pictures on Nl is difficult and its due to seun's fault for not making it easy to post pictures due to the software used to create the site, then it is almost analogous to the argument that those in the auto section have a long standing rule for you to paste pictures of cars before you sell them on Nl.

How come it is easy for the auto dealers and almost near impossible for property agents despite the fact that you both use the same website and its applications?

Its much deeper than that and i know it is because of the third party agent thingy going on amongst all agents but it never hurts to try.

[b]In fact a major clean up of the property section would soon come up and stringent rules will be applied because my job is to protect the interest of the purchaser more since they would probably be the ones at the recieving end if a deal goes bad. [/b]

So if they are clamouring for pictures, then the burden of proof lies in the hands of the agents to give a valid and sensible reason not to enforce that rule in the nearest future and the nearest future could be next week!

Cheers!

I second you my Lawyer

if you are interested in viewing properties with photos, you could browse through www.axorahomes.com, And for ESTATE AGENTS [color=#990000][/color]with huge property portfolios. you could also consider advertising your properties at www.axorahomes.com and also upload a maximum of 10 photos for each property advert you place on the website. give it a try

@ Outstrip going through your post, i feel you should check out my advert perhaps you will be interested in my piece: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-521891.0.html#msg7000526

Outstrip:

Thank God someone is talking. I personally think is laziness but then again,  I was interested in a piece of land recently and I called Nigeria about it since there were no pictures. First I found out that the land really exists and then I talked to someone else in Nigeria and his co worker actually took the phone from me and told me not to consider buying the land. He says he and his wife spent the whole saturday driving there and when they got there there wereno roads to get in. The place he said was very remote. Pictures would have solved the problem.  I would have not had to turn into a private investigator

Lawyer

Tanks for this idea, but do you believe that some people that we called buyers are actually scammers
Some will call you for pictures but at the end,they will never get back to you
to me,i think they are actually using the pictures for something else,which really discouraged me from sending pictures to clients

Not much improvement has occurred on this matter.

In 2015 I tried to purchase some property and I ran head first into the no picturorial information thing.

Very sad.
