How much did Seun collect for this? Is it a side hustle for one of the super s? Many Nairalanders did not read the article. I got tired halfway on realizing it was an advert. This forum is worthless, time wastage is its only valuable attribute.
if the forum is worthless, why not just migrate to quora and the rest?

Article is irrelevant. I was following until I saw out of state detective and stalkers in several states.

Lifting articles about running a business in the West as inspiration for Nigerians is absurd.

A completely different set of challenges involved

Women I know in real estate are doing exceptionally well compared to their male counterpart, this is one area where I can say men don't dominate as much. But yeah everything else you said is on point

How do they dominate, can you explain? Because all i see online is one woman using her sexuality to homes. Dressed in something very skimpy. I see a few that are dressed properly though, but many of them are on this route. Also who are their clients, how many well meaning and honest earning Nigerians are actually buying these 200 million real estate homes? The clients are usually politicians & those G-boys.

Schedule your family time as “appointments.” Date night? Kids baseball game? Clients don’t need to know what kind of appointment you have!

This line spoke directly to me despite not being a realtor! I'll start treating family time as appointments!!!

HI, my name is Mrs Mildred Martins, When I began my career in real estate in 2012, I was newly married with a 6-month-old at home and lots of bills. My bachelor’s degree had led me down a path of hard work for little pay. I needed to make a change, and fast, but I also had a fire inside calling me to build something bigger for myself and my growing family. I didn’t know a thing about selling houses. All I did know was that somehow I was going to be my own boss. This girl was not meant for nine to five or stuffy board rooms. So in 2012, I got my license and hit the ground running......

What's your take on real estate crowdfunding?

Some of the ladies that are in real estate biz are into prostitution... talking from experience, I worked with a real estate company during 2019 - 20, female colleagues do gossip themselves.. telling us how her female colleague would sleep with men before they could sell land or properties cos we re all on a target.. I left the company due to non payment of salary cos I was unable to meet my target...

But, why would a mother qualify her sons with the word WILD? That's weird.....

You have said it all. All those ibeju Lekki estate girls sell their bodies anyhow just to make sales, I have countless friends from that side so I know what I am talking about.

I am in real estate but in the investment/development side; build, rehab, property management. It is rewarding BUT for women you can easily be taken advantage of (think of a woman and a car mechanic). My area is male dominated as 100% of the contractors I work with are male. The following are the observed stressors:

1. They automatically think you don't know anything and will quote you ridiculous prices.
2. Their ego struggles with taking instructions from a woman or that she is visibly writing a check.
3. Some want to approach the relationship like they are "saving the female." Beware and don't allow this. It never ends well.

Solutions:
1. Be very very thick skinned.
2. Know a little bit of everything about the trades.
3. Don't take the tantrums seriously and be prepared to let someone go if you have to.
4. Don't bring in one contractor to do everything. Get quotes for different areas of the build. Foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, sheetrocking, floors, kitchen, bathrooms, tile etc etc. The danger of bringing in one person is if he is the one bringing in all the trades and later you need to let him go, likely you are losing all the other trades. You need more control of the process.
5. Don't let the relationship be too familiar. Don't get sucked into a box of being saved. No one is a friend.

I've decided to go back to school to learn residential construction. Overall and so far, I love it but need to be even more prepared now i've noticed what i have to deal with.

Fantastic write up madam, i just started this same race and can do with your kind advice /opinion. Such that can help me cross some business huddles. Meanwhile, when you say " ask a mortgage lender to co-brand some marketing materials and come along with you. It’s a win-win" can you elaborate on this please?
I would appreciate a PC too

Amazing experience!

Almost all careers take one away from family but we try to have life-work balance.

Thank you for sharing.

And you pretend not to know the reason most of them are doing well than men? The same way women in nollywood are more successful than men even thoughthey are pay less. Solve the easy puzzle yourself
