Becoming the Estate Agent of Value in Nigeria
WRITTEN BY BLUEHEDGE REALTORS
POSTED IN ADVERTISING
Without boring you with dictionary definitions, estate agency is a fiduciary relationship whereby a person (referred to as ‘an estate agent’) act as an intermediary between a principal (property owner/landlord) and another party (property buyer/tenant).
Many people (including some Estate agents) have misconstrued who an estate agent is, as well as the functions/roles of an estate agent. Almost everyone, especially if you had ever attempted to rent/lease or buy/sell a property would have come across an estate agent, or someone who claims to be one.
The business of estate agency in Nigeria is an all-comers affair, as there is no strict entry and exit barriers, hence, the prevalence and preponderance of ‘quacks’. To checkmate the harmful incidences of this group of people, some concerned bodies such as the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) established the Association of Estate Agents in Nigeria (AEAN), while the government of Lagos State established the Lagos States Real Estate Transaction Department (LASTREDA).

This article is written with Estate agents in mind, and it is targeted to all Estate agents and intending ones who want to stand-out, and at the same time be outstanding in the practice of real estate agency. Please note that estate agent and agent may be used interchangeably.
To this end, any estate agent who wants to be outstanding must take the following into consideration:
1. Trust
The most important ingredient in every relationship is Trust. Trust is the belief and confidence in the integrity, reliability and fairness of a person or organisation. Never ever take the values of honesty, truthfulness and sincerity with levity. As an agent, you need to earn the trust and respect of your clients and colleagues by being open and honest in all you say and do. This value is even much more important than academic and professional qualifications, as no client will ever buy or rent a property from you except they trust you. This is not to undermine the possession of these qualifications, but to emphasize the importance of trust, and to show that ‘trust’ is a tradable commodity.
2. Integrity
Integrity is the twin sister of trust, as both go hand-in-hand, you can’t have one without having the other. Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. To be an estate agent of value, you must adhere to high standard of moral and ethical principles. Your word must be your bond; you must be uncompromisable. People must know you to be someone who say what you mean, and mean what you say. You must be guided by the need to always do the right things legally, ethically, morally and professionally.
3. Professional Affiliations
Professionalism is the culmination of competence, knowledge, resourcefulness, expertise, quality service delivery, attitude, discipline and tenacity. A professional in any discipline is expected to have gone through periods of academic studies, professional experience and are usually well guided by code of conducts/ethics to be able to gain the confidence of the public. To this end, people will be more confident to deal with a person or company who is affiliated to well-known professional bodies. Moreso, members of such bodies can easily be traced, tracked and reported in the case of professional misconduct. This is much more important because investment in real estate usually involves large amount of money, and hence people will not want to take a gamble.
4. Personal Appearance
The importance of good appearance cannot be overemphasised. It has been said that ‘You will be addressed the way you are dressed’. Like it or not, a first impression can make or break a sale. Details of your appearance can show a lot about your work ethic, integrity, passion and professionalism. If what you demonstrate upon a first encounter is slouchy, people assume your business habits are probably equally slouchy. According to research by Dr. Albert Mehrabian of UCLA, as reported on www.businessknowhow.com by Nina Jamal and Judith Lindenberger in their article, How to Make a Great First Impression, “appearance and body language (visual image) accounts for fifty-five percent (55%) of an invaluable first impression. It is disheartening to see estate agents in rough shirts and jeans taking clients around; this is one of the reasons people do not regard agents as reputable. Most often, the writer of this article has been mistaken to be a banker by the way he dresses; and the question is, Is it only bankers that dress properly?
5. Amiable Personality
While personal appearance/dressing is external, amiable/ pleasing personality is internal. You must be friendly and have a genuine love for people. Having a great sense of humour is also a plus. You must have the ability to ‘connect’ with the client. You must have a good carriage and a confident personality. In summary, you must be a people’s person, you must be likable and you need to command the respect of your clients.
6. Excellent Customer Satisfaction
An estate agent of value must value clients and treat them with dignity, respect and empathy. You must listen to the needs of your clients and always strive to not only meet their needs, but to even surpass their expectations by giving them the maximum benefits/ values for their investments. Putting smiles on the face of your clients must be your goal, and try every possible means to gain their trust. And remember, customers are always right.
7. Know Thy Properties
It is sad that some agents advertise properties without knowing the full details of the properties, such as the owner, the title, facilities in the house, etc. A very important principle in marketing is to really know what one is marketing. An estate agent of value must know the properties being marketed inside-out. He/ she must have a good understanding of the property vis-a-vis the location, unique attributes of the properties compared to other properties, how the property meet clients demand/expectations, etc.
8. Versatility
An estate agent that will stand out must be very versatile and knowledgeable in almost every subject matter. The work of an estate agent must be seen beyond showing of properties to people, but must also include the ability of dealings with people and their emotions, because most times people can be very emotional when buying properties, and this is where empathy comes in. A good agent must put him or herself in the position of the client. You must understand the thinking of the client, the reasons for their decision or indecision. The client’s interest must override your own interest.
9. Patience and Discernment
To be an estate agent that will stay very long in the real estate business, patience is a non-negotiable virtue you must cultivate. As there are multitudes of clients, so also there are varieties of behaviours/ attitudes they come with. We have gentle/ hot-tempered clients, patient/ impatient clients, innocent/ cunny clients, sincere/ insincere clients, humble/ arrogant clients, serious/ unserious clients, etc. They come in different shades. A good agent must be very patient and discerning to place the client in the right category. The caveat here is that you cannot always judge a book by the cover; at times, a client may look unserious at first, but surprisingly, they will be the one to buy a property from you, the reverse is also true, whereby a client will appear very serious and even ask you for title documents and offer letter, but he/ she will refuse to answer your calls when you follow up and they will not even bother to return your calls.
10. Branding and Standard
Branding makes you to be unique and distinct amongst several other people who render similar services like yours. The need for branding and standardisation is even more important because the business of estate agency is an all-comers affair, especially in Nigeria where there’s no strict standard of practice; hence, the need for you to stand out, and be outstanding amongst several other estate agents. Identify what is unique about you and your business and capitalise on that. Every individual is different and unique, so also is every business, and until you identify what experts call your ‘USP – Unique Selling Point or Proposition’, you may end up being frustrated by your competitors. You must also have a standard, people must know what you stand for, what you can do and can’t do. You must be specific about your mission, vision and core values. All these will stand you out in your real estate business practice and ultimately make you a sought-after agent.

Google has unveiled plans to inject over $10.1 billion into the Nigerian economy in the next three years through its Equiano submarine cable.
The cable, which landed in the shores of Lagos today, is said to have the capability of also creating six million jobs within the same period.

The landing of the cable was witnessed by the Governor of Lagos, Babajide Sanwo Olu and other prominent dignitaries, including representatives of the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy and Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC.

Google landed the cable with its partner WIOCC, a prominent African digital backbone company.
The state-of-the-art Equiano subsea cable will become a critical element in meeting Nigeria’s current and future international connectivity demands.
Speaking at the landing site in Eleguishi, Lekki Lagos, Director, Google West Africa, Juliet Ehimuan said: “Google is committed to supporting Africa’s digital transformation and we are excited to see the impact of the landing of Equiano in Nigeria.
“We’ve worked with established partners and in-country experts to guarantee that Equiano has the greatest potential effect in Nigeria and throughout Africa.
“Equiano is set to make an enduring contribution towards the development of Nigeria’s communications infrastructure and today marks another major step in its development.
“We look forward to honouring our commitment to be part of Africa’s digital transformation,” Ehimuan added.
Economic value
She also boasted that the cable, when it begins first phase of capacity spread in the country, will make economic impact by boosting GDP by USD 10.1 billion by 2025 and job creation by 1.6 million by 2025.
It will also make connectivity impact by increasing internet speeds by a factor of six, reducing internet retail prices by 21 percent and increasing internet penetration by six percentage points.
Chief Executive Officer of WIOCC, Chris Wood, also said: “We are proud to have been selected by Google as the landing partner for the Equiano cable in Nigeria, landing the cable directly into the OADC Lagos data centre.
“From there it will be extended to other data centres across Lagos.
“The Equiano cable will deliver improved internet quality, speeds and affordability to the people of Nigeria.
“However, for the benefits to be fully felt throughout Nigeria, hyperscale connectivity needs to be extended from the Lagos area to the rest of the country. To make this happen, WIOCC is also deploying a comprehensive, hyperscale national fibre network, in partnership with Phase3 telecom.
“The network will go live in phases, starting in June and continuing through to the end of the year.
“When combined with the Equiano cable this network will deliver transformational benefits across the country.”
Olaudah Equiano
The Equiano cable was named after Nigerian-born writer and abolitionist, Olaudah Equiano.
The cable ran Portugal in western Europe, through more than 12,000km along the West Coast of Africa and initially landed in Lomé, Togo and now in Lagos, Nigeria.
It will also move to Swakopmund, Namibia; Rupert’s Bay, Saint Helena and Melkbosstrand, South Africa; establishing a valuable new high-capacity connection between the African continent and Europe.
Google says with a design capacity roughly 20 times larger than any other cable currently serving the region, the Equiano subsea internet cable will have a direct impact on connectivity, resulting in faster internet speeds, reduced internet prices and improved user experience in Nigeria.

Kola Abiola, eldest son of late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, has declared his intention to contest for the 2023 presidential election under the platform of People’s Redemption Party, PRP.
He disclosed this on Thursday while being formally accepted by the national chairman, Falalu Bello, at the PRP National Secretariat in Abuja.
“Today makes my formal inroad after 27 years back into politics”, just as he said that the only party that could give the youth such opportunity to make their number count was the PRP.

“I came back into politics through the PRP for some good reasons. “I have gone back to the history of Nigeria to look at the party that truly represents Nigeria. I have gone back and I have found out that the oldest living party is the PRP, it still holds those ideals of what Nigeria and democratic practice should be like.
“It is a party that started by the people and truly for the people. It is a party that has showed first, as its priority, internal democracy.
Click Ad: OFFICE STRUCTURE FACING ADMIRALTY WAY LEKKI PHASE1 LEKKI LAGOS FOR SALE
“I have come back to PRP to show Nigerians that not too long ago, we did things in the right way and the new entities that have come together nowadays forget that there was Nigeria that did things right.
“I am one that believes in an equal opportunity employer be it employment, be it business, equally in politics and I believe this party represents all of these.
“Everybody should have equal opportunity irrespective of age, religion and ethnicity and that is represented here.”
Abiola who raised concerns over the low participation of youths into politics, said “We have a youth population that has been caught out of the system, the political process.
“The first thing I want to do is to disrupt the political process, to disabuse the minds of the youth on godfatherism.
“The way to do this is to give the true owners of Nigeria, that is, the 18 to 36 years age group that make up over 75 per cent of the population an opportunity for their voice to be heard and their numbers to count.”
On his part, Bello said “I formally welcome you into our fold. Your antecedents speak volumes”.
