Deal or no-deal

In my short experience in Nigeria's real estate market I have observed that concluding deals requires something 'less' than the good certifcate, excellent resume' and the likes.
Like I have always said, money will always exchange for value, not just that, trust also.

Any prospective client that perceives value and trust will be ready to give you his/her money. So how do you make someone who has a 'deep-pocket' patronize a real estate product you are marketing? How do you make that rich guy perceive value and trust?

TRUTHFUL AND CONVINCING WORDS. That's it!

Words that are convincing, truthful and rightly communicated can influence the outcome of any deal, big time. A client may not know the value of a property until you explain, make him/her see things he couldn't see - the location, similar properties in the area that are more expensive, etc.

Make sure you don't tell them only the good part, mix it up so that while presenting value, you build their trust in you. Have enough information at your finger tips, even if you don't have much, make sure you have the right one.
Money will always exchange for value, and trust.

Just for the record, I'm yet to conclude a deal...I wrote this from observation, not experience. Very soon I will, 'cus I now know how. Now, I told you the truth, I believe (well I hope) you can trust me and and at the same time perceive the value in this post.

Gracias.

Why I think you should invest into Real Estate in Nigeria.

In a society where making ends-meet seems to be a challenge, investing into sustainable businesses is a good way out. Today, business ideas abound and almost every serious minded person wants to have a money producing 'something' that s/he has control over. I need not say that getting money is more often that not a result of the value you bring to the table. ' Money is an end game of your exploits and the value you bring to the table.'                                                                             Emeka Nobis The Real Estate market is a business environment worth investing your money into as a lot of opportunities are in this market. Think about this: Nigeria has an estimated housing deficit of 17million units, and  a 2015 World Bank study projects ...

WHAT DOES MATTHEW.11:11 REALLY MEAN?

" Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than he" The very words of Jesus in the book of Matthew chapter 11 verse 11. Growing up in an environment where Christian maturity was subtly related to how much material wealth you are able to accumulate, scriptures like the above were veiled from my understanding. The same is the case for many believers who knowingly or unknowingly have supposed that gain is godliness. (1 Timothy. 6:5). In the above text Jesus was talking to a large number of people about John the Baptist (Matthew.11:7   "as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John..." )  and He reveals some things about the person and ministry of John the Baptist that without careful reading you might veer off His emphasis. It would interest you to know that in explaining the person and ministry of...

What do you know about India? Bollywood?

The world's richest man, Bill Gates of Microsoft posted an article on the 1st of May, 2017 on India's war on human waste. It is an insightful article as it highlights the vision of the Current Prime Minister of India - Narendra Damodardas Modi to improve public health; an excerpt from his first speech to the nation commemorating India's independence day captures this vision: "We are living in the 21st century. Has it ever pained us that our mothers and sisters have to defecate in the open?... The poor womenfolk of the village wait for the night; until darkness descends, they can't go out to defecate. What bodily torture they must be feeling, how many diseases that act might engender? Can't we make arrangements for toilets for the dignity of our mothers and sisters?" Less than 3 months after the speech, Modi's government started a campaign called Clean India Movement ( "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan" in Hindi)  which now includes ending open d...
