Dennis Isong is the founder of LandProperty.ng. LandProperty.ng was founded with the mission to simplify property ownership for Nigerians, particularly, those in the Diaspora.
“We guide Nigerians in the diaspora through their journey to property investment. We recommend the best property options according to your budget and work towards them,” Isong said.
According to Isong, his inspiration to embark on a career in the real estate sector and create LandProperty.ng stemmed from a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the Lagos real estate market, particularly, for Nigerians in the Diaspora.
“Over the years, I observed that many potential investors, especially, those living abroad, faced significant hurdles in acquiring property in Lagos due to a lack of reliable information, complex market dynamics, and concerns about trust and transparency,” he stressed.
Success Story
Over the years, he said, the dedication to its vision has paid off, “and we have seen significant success in helping clients navigate the complexities of the Lagos real estate market.
“One of our most notable success stories involves assisting a group of Nigerian professionals living in the United States who were interested in investing in Lagos real estate. They had encountered numerous challenges, from misinformation and trust issues to difficulties in managing transactions remotely. They approached us with apprehensions but also with high hopes for our services. Through a series of detailed consultations, we helped them define their investment goals and budget. We provided comprehensive market research, showcasing high-potential areas and properties that met their criteria. “
Lucrativity
Real estate is lucrative. However, it requires an abundance of patience. The real estate business, particularly in a dynamic market like Lagos, can be highly lucrative, provided it is approached with the right strategy and expertise.
Challenges
“The first challenge is building trust in people, especially Nigerians in the diaspora. And, to be honest, I don’t blame them. Many Nigerians in the diaspora have had a lot of unpalatable experiences when it comes to properties in Nigeria, so they try to be careful to avoid a similar situation. It took so much consistency and proving myself worthy to be where I am today,” he pointed out.
Advice
I would advise that they should make integrity their major watchword. Integrity goes further than money. Integrity will take you where money cannot take you. Then, another thing is patience. If you want a fast or quick-rich scheme, don’t come to real estate.
Your desire to get rich quickly would frustrate you out of the business. So, be patient. Real estate is rewarding for patient people. Then, you have to understand the reason for doing real estate before you venture into it. If not, you can easily be distracted.
