In Nigeria, many people still believe buying or selling property without a realtor helps them “save money.” But what you think you’re saving, you might end up losing in stress, mistakes, or even scams.
Real estate isn’t something you want to gamble with. One wrong move can cost you millions, your peace of mind, or even your dream home.
Here’s why working with a trusted realtor is not just smart, it’s essential.
- You Risk Falling for Scams
Let’s start with the most common issue. Land and property scams are everywhere, from fake agents to forged documents and double sales. Without professional help, it’s easy to get caught.
A good realtor helps you verify ownership, inspect the site, and confirm legal documents before you pay a dime.
They know what to look for and where the red flags hide.
- You May Overpay Without Realizing It
Property prices can be tricky. Two plots might look similar, but one could cost double the other for good reason, or for no reason at all.
Without market knowledge, you could pay more than the land or property is worth.
A realtor helps you get the right value for your money, using experience and market insight to negotiate the best deal.
- You Could Miss Hidden Opportunities
Sometimes, the best properties aren’t even advertised publicly. Realtors often have exclusive listings or access to new developments before they go on the market.
That means you can get first pick on properties in prime locations, something you might miss if you’re searching alone.
- You Might Face Legal or Documentation Issues
Property documents can be confusing, like Deed of Assignment, Survey Plan, Governor’s Consent & each plays a different role in proving ownership.
A realtor works with surveyors and legal experts to ensure every document is real, complete, and properly signed. That way, your investment stays protected.
- You’ll Spend More Time and Energy
Buying property can be stressful with countless phone calls, inspections, and paperwork.
Doing it all alone often leads to frustration and delays.
A realtor takes that burden off you. They handle the process, negotiations, and paperwork, while you focus on making the right decision.
- You Lose the Power of Professional Guidance
Real estate isn’t just about buying land or houses; it’s about buying right. Realtors bring experience, connections, and market insight that help you avoid costly mistakes and make smarter choices.
