In the following interview he shares his experience in the real estate industry.
What is the biggest transaction your firm was involved in?
We have, in conjunction with other professional firms, collaborated
in the consummation of develop-able land in a prime location in Victoria
Island.
Who has been your most difficult client ever?
There was an individual who used to be a top executive of a
multinational construction firm. He gave us his property on the Island
to manage but he would not give us the freedom to screen tenants that
were suitably ideal for the property. He hardly ever appreciated our
professional services. Hence, we wrote to him recently to withdraw our
services.
What is your quickest deal in terms of when it started and when it was concluded?
It was a property in 1004 Estate. Within 2 weeks, the property was
offered to a prospective purchaser and payment was made without delay.
Could you share your experience on the most awkward property your company has been given to sell or rent?
It was an undeveloped acre of land (Valley) somewhere at Anthony
Village. Whenever we took clients to the site they didn’t ever proceed
to the site proper before they would make a U-turn just a few meters
away from it.
What was the first property you sold or rented? Give some details.
It was a 3-bedroom flat at Dolphin Estate in 2009.
How much did it sell or rent for?
The flat then went for about N17m.
