The Request System Explained: Properti’s Core Feature

The Request System is the innovative engine at the heart of Properti Nigeria, fundamentally changing how demand and supply meet in real estate. Think of it as a reverse marketplace: instead of vendors advertising what they have, seekers can advertise what they want.

 

The Core Concept: “Upwork for Real Estate”

Just as employers post jobs on Upwork and freelancers submit proposals, on Properti Nigeria, property seekers post detailed Requests. Vendors (Agents, Owners, Companies) then browse these requests and, if they have a matching property, submit a formal Offer. This flips the traditional model, putting the seeker in control and ensuring that every offer they receive is a direct response to their specific needs.

 

The Detailed Request Form

To make this work, the request form is designed to capture nuanced requirements. It’s a multi-stage process where seekers define their Transaction Type (Sale, Rent, Lease, Shortlet) and its sub-type, Property Type (House, Apartment, Land, etc.) and its sub-category, LocationSpecifications (bedrooms, size, features), Budget, and Timing. This rich data set is what allows for intelligent matching.

 

Benefits for Seekers

  • Saves Time: No more endless browsing. Your needs are broadcast to the entire vendor network.

  • Gets Tailored Options: You receive property offers curated for you, complete with a Match Percentage.

  • Tests the Market Anonymously: You can see what’s available within your exact criteria and budget before engaging deeply.

 

Benefits for Vendors

  • Quality Leads: Requests represent warm, qualified leads—people who are actively looking and have defined their needs.

  • Efficient Marketing: You spend time pitching only to people who have expressed interest in a property like yours.

  • Competitive Insight: You can see what seekers are actively looking for, helping you adjust your inventory or marketing strategy.

 

The Request System, capped at 15 offers per request to ensure quality over quantity, creates a focused, efficient, and transparent pathway from need to solution, making it the definitive feature of the Properti Nigeria experience.
