Introduction
The Lagos property market is fast-moving — but many sellers unknowingly make mistakes that cost them time, money, and serious buyers. Here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid.
1. Overpricing Your Property
Setting an unrealistic price is the quickest way to scare off buyers. Always compare similar properties in your area to determine a competitive rate.
2. Listing Without Proper Documentation
If your property doesn’t have verifiable title documents (like a C of O or Deed of Assignment), buyers will hesitate. Naija Property Alert can connect you with professionals to process missing documents.
3. Poor or No Photos
A picture is worth a thousand naira! Listings without good visuals get overlooked. Always use high-resolution images showing the front, interior, and surrounding environment.
4. Not Promoting Your Listing
Don’t just list and wait. Use Naija Property Alert’s premium package to get your property featured and promoted directly to ready buyers.
5. Ignoring Buyer Questions
Many deals fall through because sellers delay or ignore inquiries. Always follow up promptly, and be willing to negotiate respectfully.
Conclusion
Avoiding these common mistakes can greatly improve your chances of a smooth and profitable sale. Naija Property Alert helps guide sellers every step of the way.
