How Diaspora Nigerians Can Partner with Trusted Real Estate Consultants

For Nigerians in the diaspora, investing in real estate back home often comes with one critical question: “Who can I trust to manage my investment?”

A single wrong partnership can cost millions. But the right consultant can help you verify properties, handle legal documentation, manage projects, and build wealth without stepping foot in Nigeria.

Three people in business attire standing in an office with a sunset view, interacting with a holographic display reading "Trusted Advisory" to illustrate reliable real estate consultants.

Here’s how to identify, evaluate, and partner with trusted real estate consultants who deliver results — not regrets.

1. Work Only with Registered, Licensed Firms

Before anything else, confirm the company’s legitimacy. A credible real estate consultant should be:

• Registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

• Affiliated with professional bodies such as REDAN (Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria) or NIESV (Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors & Valuers).

• Have a traceable office address and official communication channels (not just WhatsApp or personal accounts).

At Zikan Prop Solutions, every transaction is backed by verifiable company registration, professional certifications, and transparent documentation.

2. Assess Their Track Record and Portfolio

A true consultant has more than a fancy logo — they have a history of closed deals and satisfied clients.Before partnering, ask for:

• Case studies or references from diaspora clients.

• Photos or videos of completed projects.

• Testimonials or verifiable Google reviews.

Zikan Prop Solutions has built a reputation for zero-tolerance to fraud and has helped hundreds of Nigerians abroad safely acquire, build, and manage properties.

3. Prioritize Transparency and Documentation

A trustworthy consultant operates with complete openness.They should:

• Provide offer letters, receipts, and contracts for every transaction.

• Issue official invoices with registered company accounts.

• Share project progress reports, photos, and videos regularly.

Avoid any consultant who rushes you to pay without documented proof of property ownership or clear communication of terms.

4. Evaluate Communication and Responsiveness

For diaspora clients in different time zones, reliable communication is crucial.Trusted consultants:

• Respond promptly across platforms (email, WhatsApp, video call).

• Provide virtual meetings or property inspections.

• Offer clear breakdowns of costs and timelines.

Zikan Prop Solutions provides dedicated account managers for diaspora investors — ensuring real-time communication and updates from purchase to delivery.

5. Verify Legal and Financial Processes

A legitimate real estate consultant works with licensed lawyers and verified banks.Before partnership:

• Confirm they have a legal advisory unit for title verification.

• Ensure funds are handled via corporate accounts or escrow, not personal accounts.

• Check that they issue receipts, payment schedules, and Deeds of Assignment immediately after transaction completion.

This eliminates most cases of fraud and ownership disputes.

6. Ask for a Service Agreement

A professional consultant will never shy away from signing a Service Agreement.This document should outline:

• Roles and responsibilities.

• Payment structure and deliverables.

• Legal jurisdiction and dispute resolution terms.

At Zikan Prop Solutions, all diaspora partnerships are governed by transparent agreements that protect both parties — ensuring accountability from start to finish.

7. Insist on Independent Verification

Even if a consultant is recommended, still verify independently.

• Cross-check land titles at the Land Registry.

• Verify the survey plan coordinates.

• Confirm estate approvals with local planning authorities.

Zikan Prop Solutions provides third-party verification reports so diaspora clients can validate every property detail before committing funds.

8. Leverage Technology for Trust and Visibility

Today, distance is no longer a barrier.Reliable consultants use digital tools to bridge the gap:

• Drone surveys and virtual tours.

• Electronic document signing.

• Online property dashboards for tracking investments.

Zikan Prop Solutions integrates technology at every stage, giving clients 100% visibility over their assets — from abroad.

9. Look for Consultants Who Think Long-Term

Beware of agents focused only on selling land. A trusted consultant thinks beyond the sale — helping you plan for:

• Future property development.

• Rental or passive income strategy.

• Exit or resale opportunities.

At Zikan, we act as your property growth partner, not just a sales agent — helping diaspora investors build lasting real estate portfolios.
