Fhemmmy: We have been on Nairaland Auto section for few years now and till now, with the help of almighty God and that of our clients here, we have been wahala free . . . But we are not perfect, it is not because we are smart, but because of how great our clientele have been.

We just delivered a ride that shows some loopholes in how we do business and a good business man will always wanna learn from their mistakes to grow and be able to serve you better. . https://www.nairaland.com/1309185/2006-honda-accord-se-pre-ordered . . . We will spend time to explain how we get the rides for our clients

So please we are open to criticism and if the best way you know how to do that is yabbies, please go ahead, we just wanna hear from you, what are we doing wrong and what could we improve on for future deals.

Fhemmmy, It's a good thing that you started this thread in view of what happened with a pre-order from one of your numerous customers. One very important thing you should do once a deal is sealed with a customer is to provide the comprehensive photographs of the vehicle including the shots of all the scratches and other shortcomings with explanations to the customer. If you do the above , the customer will be aware of any shortcomings the vehicle may have and will make an informed decision based on the photographs and other informations you've provided. I really envy your coolness and patient in dealing with your customers' complaints though because not every businessmen have these virtues.
I'm always amazed by the expectations of some customers when they pre-order a vehicle because let's be honest with ourselves, you cannot expect a four to six years old vehicle to look and drive like a brand new car because to me that is a spurious expectation. I believe that everyone pre-ordering used cars should make some allowance for a little bit of imperfections as long as it is not serious to affect the performance of the car because a used car is definitely not in the same league with a brand new car, and that is why it's cheaper than a new one price wise.
Thanks for accommodating us and we remain humble.

This is true, the credit system actually helps alot of folks in the more developed countries nonetheless there are always two sides to a story. frankly I don't believe you own any house, car, furniture etc the credit system helped you get till you're done paying for it. Funny enough thats why theres a greater hype when someone buys a 2013 Honda accord in Nigeria than in any country that has this system in place. This is because Nigerians pay hard cash for whatever they own with very few exceptions. I won't say thats the best way to go but its certainly working for us. I can't imagine paying for a house I claim to own for 15years or paying for a car for 36 months.

Finally, most Nigerians in that 25-35 don't necessarily want a house of theres, they'd rather live in a very exclusive apartment. Most of them look towards building houses when they start considering marriage or after marriage and expecting children. Theres a whole lot to discuss on this as there are so many factors that come into play but I'm sure you probably got my point. Then again I totally agree with you that the credit system helps but there are just two sides to it; its not all that perfect.

Muyesky:

that obviously was a typo error. pls, scratch that.

realestatedeal: @esoorita, the document he will give you are deed of contract from the company he bought the land from, the receipt, deed of assignment since his plot has been allocated to him, the deed of assignment contain all the information about his plot in the estate, his plot number and beacon numerics, the deed of assignment is the document that shows that you are the legal owner of the particular property. Then next a lawyer will do a transfer of plot ownership documents.

I am in the same position as you.What irks me about all these developers is the lazy and unprofessional way they market their lands.If you look at what obtains in other countries developers put their clients minds to rest because :

They have a verifiable company registration certificate
They have a website
They post pictures of all their official agents online so that buyers can identify them
They provide you copies of land registration documents issued by the state Government
They provide crystal clear photos of the site and on going work
They provide a google map outline of the estate location
They provide you the set of rules under which the estate will be managed

Most of these developers do not have any of the above.I find it ludicrous that in this day and age ,developers who are in charge of lands worth millions do not have a website.I find it ludicrous that these developers are not confident enough to post their pictures online so that we can identify who they are and be rest assured.Go to any property website outside Nigeria and you will see the photograph of the agent involved in the land proudly posted on their website.

We Nigerians never follow due procedure and just do things anyhow hence why there is no peace of mind when buying lands or doing property deals in Nigeria.I hope they become more professional straight forward in their dealings.The Lagos state Government too are useless because i have never seen a country where developers can sell land when they have not been issued official documents for those lands.

At least with Mowe Ofada we saw some pictures of the estates and their gate houses.With Ibeju lekki developers we don't see anything,no pictures of the land ,no pictures of the gate house.Please developers step up your game and be professional ,there are many people who get turned off by your lack of professionalism.

esoorita: Lawyer, Please could you let me know what documents do I need to see from a vendor selling his land in an estate. Thanks
for your help.

You have a point here but from experiences, most PROSPECTIVE BUYERS don't call to negociate the prices of properties for sale even when they know its the market value.

When you call and we talk, firstly it shows you are interested;

--Its gives room to know better about the property & environs (i.e if the buyer has NO idea);

--Its also an opportunity for a buyer who knows the location of such properties to give an offer which would be related to the vendor/seller for consideration.

--It also an opportunity for WISE options to be given to the buyer if his/her budget can not get such a property.

Thanks for your understanding.
