The first step is to look for a credible real estate marketing firm like De Donnies Homes. Establish a relationship with them for some weeks, and get to know them and how they operate.

Request for properties in their portfolio that are within your budget and specifications.

Ask for an inspection, do not take a pre-made video for virtual inspection. If you are not available for the inspection because you reside in the diaspora, ask for a live video call so, you can see the property in real-time.

Ensure the property is owned by a reputable real estate developer. Surf the internet to see the track record of the developer. Look for her previous projects and the success rate of the projects. Also, check out their previous or existing customer satisfaction by reading their Google reviews.

Type the developer’s name and scam in front of it to search on Google if they’ve previously scammed anyone.

Once you have done your due diligence and satisfied with the property, pay into the developer’s account. DO NOT PAY INTO THE AGENT’S ACCOUNT.

Make them send the property document directly to you irrespective of where you are in the world. Most developers send property documents to their clients through DHL
