When it comes to buying and selling properties, or renting apartments, you'd definitely need the assistance of a good real estate agent.

But how do you know if a real estate agent is lying? ... Or when he is lying?

There are 3 unmistakable signs that lets you know when an agent is lying.

No. 1: When he gives you misleading property descriptions.

You probably might have heard things like "That land close to the Dangote refinery is just 25minutes drive from chevron roundabout"
Such descriptions are misleading and as such you need to be on alert.

No 2: When he talks too much without even giving attention to your desires or past experiences.

No 3: When he over inflates the property value.

Yes! Properties in Lekki and Ibeju Lekki are consistently increasing in value. But when an agent starts telling you "Buy now! this property is going to go up in value by over 750% next year", then there's every tendency that he's lying. This is because even if the property would go up in value by over 750% next year, he doesn't need to blurt it out like that.

Am I trying to say that all real estate agents are liars? Heavens No! There are lots of sincere ones out there.

I just want you to be equipped with the right information to know when and if an agent is lying to you.

4. When he tells you that someone is coming to pay now, but he is still taking you everywhere for inspection and telling you to pay soon before the person comes.

Lol. Op, what are you talking about? Real Estate agents make a living off lying to their clients.

They will lie that the land you're buying has no omo onile issues.
They will lie to you that someone else wants the same property and so you should buy fast
They will lie to you that your landlord is a nice person if you're renting.
They will lie to you that government is going to build a new road soon if you're buying a remote farmland.

E be like say you no know agents sha

Very weak write-up. I wonder why it's on front page

Is this all you could come up with?

When he starts to hurry you to make payment, calling every now and then, just take a pause and never fall for the bait. He just might have given the property to someone else and wants to japa or worst yet, japa with your money for a non-existing house or land

The dream

Do they have good agents.

Do we still have real and trusted Agent?

Then at day 2 he wants to finish your destiny with calls.

Same thing I was about asking oo

If property agents don’t do that, how will be convinced and have interest.
It’s left for you not to only believe in hearsay only, but also physical inspection.
