If you have ever rented an apartment, house, or flat in Lagos then you would understand when we say it feels like making your way through the eye of the needle. Any renter who successfully passes through the obvious bottlenecks that come with renting an apartment in Lagos in one piece should be given a standing ovation.
For those that are new to the game or perhaps interested in moving to Lagos, there are a few hints that you need to know so you don’t end up making the wrong decision. Most of the time, the real estate agents are only interested in the registration fee that renters usually pay when they employ their services.
After about 1-3 days of house hunting, it becomes really difficult getting a real estate agent to go on a house hunt with you especially when he has other clients.
As someone looking to rent an apartment, it’s perfectly okay if you have a feeling that a real estate agent doesn’t have your interest at heart. This is perfectly natural; especially when you consider the fact that the same agent might be protecting the interest of the landlord/homeowner more or perhaps showing the same property to someone else.
In many cases, you are likely to find yourself not trusting the real estate agents 100%.
This is not necessarily your fault especially when you realize that the agent also has his/her own interest to protect. Even when you get a good deal from the agent, you might be reluctant to commit entirely to it simply because you just don’t trust him/her. This is a huge disadvantage when using property agents to hunt for an apartment.

Pelow, a platform by Facibus, democratizes the global real estate market to make housing affordable by capitalizing on the “negotiation gap” between buyers and sellers.

Pelow also provides a platform for people to raise money for their real estate needs, whichever the case.
