Nigeria's real estate market is a sleeping giant. Valued at over ₦30 trillion, it stands as one of Africa's largest and most promising economic sectors. With a population exceeding 200 million people, rapid urbanization, and a burgeoning middle class, the demand for quality housing and commercial spaces has never been higher.

Yet, despite this immense potential, the industry remains fragmented, opaque, and largely inaccessible to the average Nigerian.

The Problem: A Broken System

Anyone who has attempted to buy, sell, or rent property in Nigeria understands the frustration. The challenges are deeply embedded in the industry's fabric:

Lack of Transparency
Property listings are scattered across countless platforms, social media pages, and word-of-mouth networks. Buyers and tenants struggle to verify whether a listing is authentic, current, or fairly priced.

Verification Nightmares
Title disputes, fraudulent sellers, and questionable agents create an environment of distrust. Many Nigerians have heartbreaking stories of transactions gone wrong.

Fragmented Agent Network
Real estate agents operate in silos. There's no centralized system, no standardized practices, and no way for agents to collaborate effectively across properties and regions.

High Transaction Costs
With no structured marketplace, fees are unpredictable and often exorbitant. Consumers rarely know what they should expect to pay.

Missed Opportunities
Talented agents lack the tools and platforms to scale their businesses. Property owners struggle to reach qualified buyers. The industry's full potential remains locked away.

The Vision: A Structured, Agent-Powered Marketplace

Found was built with a single, powerful vision: to democratize real estate transactions in Nigeria by creating a structured platform that empowers agents, protects consumers, and unlocks the industry's latent potential.

Unlike traditional property listing sites that simply aggregate listings and hope for the best, Found is built around a revolutionary agent network model. We're not just digitizing the old way of doing things—we're fundamentally reimagining how real estate transactions should work.

The Found Model: How It Works

At the heart of Found is our network of verified agents. These aren't just anyone with a business card—they're trained, vetted professionals who understand local markets and can guide buyers and tenants through every step of the transaction process.

For Realtors and Property Owners

List for Free
Property owners and realtors can list their properties on Found at absolutely no cost. Your property gains immediate exposure to thousands of potential buyers and our entire network of active agents.

Reach More Buyers
Your property isn't just sitting on a website waiting to be found. It's actively being promoted by agents who have financial incentive to find qualified buyers.

Earn Passive Income
When an agent successfully closes a transaction on your property, you earn 10% of the agency fee. Your property works for you even when you're not working.

For Agents

Join a Verified Network
Become part of Nigeria's most structured agent community. Verification ensures that clients trust you from day one.

Get Unique Referral Links
Every property on the platform generates a unique referral link just for you. Share it on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, or directly with your network.

Track Everything
Our dashboard shows you exactly how many clicks your links receive, how many inquiries convert, and exactly what you're earning in real-time.

Earn 70% Commission
This is the game-changer. When a transaction closes through your referral link, you earn a remarkable 70% of the agency fee. Not 30%. Not 50%. Seventy percent.

For Buyers and Tenants

Browse with Confidence
Every property on Found is listed by a verified realtor. Every agent you interact with is vetted. You can search knowing that what you see is real.

Work with Experts
Connect with agents who know their markets intimately. They're not just trying to make a sale—they're building their reputations on the platform.

Fair, Transparent Fees
We cap total agency fees at 10% of the transaction value. What you see is what you pay. No surprises. No hidden costs.

The Economics of Empowerment

You might wonder: 70% commission? How is that sustainable?

The answer is simple: we believe that the people doing the work deserve the lion's share of the rewards.

Traditional real estate platforms often take 30-50% of agent commissions. Some take even more. Found flips this model on its head. Here's why:

Incentivizing Excellence
When agents know their efforts will be richly rewarded, they work harder, smarter, and with greater dedication. A motivated agent is a successful agent.

Attracting Top Talent
The best agents naturally gravitate toward platforms that value their contribution. Found becomes the destination for Nigeria's real estate elite.

Creating a Virtuous Cycle
Successful agents bring more buyers and sellers to the platform. More buyers and sellers attract more realtors. More realtors mean more properties for agents to promote. The cycle feeds itself.

Building Long-Term Loyalty
Agents who build their businesses on Found become our strongest advocates. They're not just users—they're partners in our mission.

The 10% Commitment: Putting Consumers First

While we reward agents generously, we never forget who matters most: the consumer. That's why Found makes an ironclad commitment:

Total agency fees will never exceed 10% of the transaction value.

This includes all legal fees, agency commissions, and platform costs combined. In an industry where fees can sometimes spiral to 15-20% or more, this commitment provides:

Predictability
You know exactly what you'll pay before you start the transaction.

Trust
No last-minute surprises or hidden charges.

Fairness
Reasonable fees for professional service, not exploitation.

Accessibility
More Nigerians can afford professional real estate assistance.

Why This Matters for Nigeria

The potential impact of a structured real estate marketplace extends far beyond individual transactions.

Economic Formalization
By bringing agents into a verified, trackable network, we're helping formalize a sector that has historically operated in the shadows. Agents build professional reputations. Transactions become documented. The economy gains visibility.

Job Creation
Real estate is one of Nigeria's largest employers. By making it easier for agents to succeed, we're creating pathways to prosperity for thousands of Nigerians.

Foreign Investment
International investors have long been wary of Nigeria's real estate market due to opacity and risk. A structured, transparent platform changes that calculation entirely.

Urban Development
When property changes hands efficiently, cities develop more organically. Capital flows to where it's needed. Communities grow.

Financial Inclusion
Structured transactions open doors to mortgages, bank financing, and formal credit. More Nigerians can achieve the dream of homeownership.

The African Opportunity

While Found launches in Nigeria, our vision extends across the continent. Africa's real estate market faces similar challenges everywhere: fragmentation, lack of trust, inefficient agent networks.

The model we're building—structured agent networks, fair commissions, transparent transactions—has the potential to revolutionize real estate from Lagos to Nairobi, from Accra to Johannesburg.

Nigeria is just the beginning.
