See it. Ask about it. Pay when you are sure.
Acreage is a safe & open market for property across Nigeria, where nothing goes up until one of our people has stood in front of it. 10+ photographs and a walkthrough video on every listing. Message the agent here to ask questions and agree a price — no contacts exchange. Nothing to pay until you are satisfied, and a certificate naming the property and both parties when you do.
Every naira is on the listing. What catches people is never the rent — it is the fees nobody mentioned until signing day. Free to browse, ask and negotiate; nobody pays anything until something actually happens.
You already know how this usually goes.
Lifted from another listing, or from three years ago, or from somewhere else entirely. You find out after the journey.
Then the number stops going through. Nobody was ever going to show you anything.
Because nothing on that site ever comes down, and nobody is paid to take it down.
Your number was the product. The flat was the advert.
Caution, agency, service charge, legal — a third of the rent again, and by then you have moved.
A person goes there. Every time. No exceptions.
Not a phone call to the agent. Not a document emailed over. Somebody from this team travels to the address, and the listing cannot be published until they have.
NIN or BVN, matched against their name, with a photograph of their face matched against the one on the record. No anonymous listings, ever.
Our pictures, not whatever was on the agent's phone. The rooms, the compound, the street, the water tank. On land they walk it to its corners and sight the title.
A tenancy agreement, a C of O, an agency mandate. Existing is not the same as being theirs to offer, and that gap is where most of the money is lost.
Who went, what day, what they saw. If the report does not say a thing was checked, it was not checked — we would rather leave a line out than write one nobody stood behind.
Then the rest of it is yours to do.
Free to browse, free to ask, free to negotiate.
Rent, sale and short-let, filtered by area, price and bedrooms — and by the two things nobody else filters on: whether the water and the power actually work.
Up to thirty photographs and a video on every listing, so you know what you are looking at before you spend a naira getting there.
Phone numbers and emails are blocked both ways. Nothing moves to WhatsApp, where nobody can help you and where nearly every property scam begins.
If the report and the pictures are not enough, somebody from this team will meet you there and walk round it with you. The price is on the listing before you book.
The money splits at the bank: the agent's share to them, our commission to us. For a sale too large to move online, our staff stands with you while it goes bank to bank.
The property, both parties, the amount, and the day we physically stood in front of it. Anyone you show it to can check the reference.
We are not trying to sell our own properties.
Acreage is a market, not an agency — we own none of these properties and take no side in your negotiation. We are paid 5% when a deal actually closes, and nothing at any other time. A listing that wastes your afternoon costs us exactly what it costs you, which is the only arrangement under which any of the above is worth promising.
If we have not seen it, you will not see it.
Free to list. We only earn when you do.
No advert fees, no packages, nothing to pay to be seen — the complaint every agent has about every other platform. 5% of the total the buyer pays, only when a deal closes through us, paid straight into your own bank account. We never hold your money.
