This can be frustrating. Here are the most common reasons and how to fix them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">1. Overly Specific or Narrow Criteria<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">While detail is good, an extremely narrow combination of high-end criteria in a niche location with a very low budget may have zero matching inventory. Vendors use filters too, and if your request doesn\u2019t appear in their filtered view, they won\u2019t see it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Fix:<\/strong>\u00a0Review your criteria. Is your budget realistic for the location and property type you\u2019re asking for? Consider slightly broadening the location (e.g., from \u201cLekki Phase 1\u201d to \u201cLekki\u201d) or adjusting one non-critical specification.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">2. Low Budget for the Market<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">If your maximum budget is significantly below the market rate for the property type and area you\u2019ve selected, vendors will not find it viable to make an offer.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Fix:<\/strong>\u00a0Use the\u00a0<strong>Search<\/strong>\u00a0function first to browse similar available properties and understand current market prices. Adjust your request budget to align with reality.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">3. The 15-Offer Cap Has Been Reached<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Check your request card. If it shows \u201c15 Offers\u201d and the \u201cView Offers\u201d button, it is closed. You are getting offers, but you may have missed the notifications.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Fix:<\/strong>\u00a0Click \u201cView Offers\u201d to see all proposals sent. If you need more options, you can post a new, slightly modified request.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">4. Inactive Vendor Base in Your Area<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">It\u2019s possible there are few active, paid-vendor agents or owners in your specific chosen area who are monitoring requests.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Fix:<\/strong>\u00a0Broaden your \u201cArea\u201d selection slightly to include neighboring communities with more activity. You can also proactively\u00a0<strong>Search<\/strong>\u00a0for properties in your desired area and contact those vendors directly via their listings.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">5. Technical or Notification Issues<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Fix:<\/strong>\u00a0Check your\u00a0<strong>Notification Preferences<\/strong>\u00a0(Settings) to ensure alerts for \u201cNew Offers\u201d are turned ON. Also, check your email spam folder. Log out and back into the app\/website to refresh your connection.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">6. Request Posted During Low-Activity Period<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Posted on a weekend or late night? Allow 24-48 business hours for vendors to see and respond.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Fix:<\/strong>\u00a0Be patient. Requests are active for 21 days (on Free plans) or longer on paid plans.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">If after checking these points you still receive no offers, your request may serve as valuable market feedback that what you\u2019re looking for, at your price, is currently unavailable. Consider adjusting your parameters or switching to an active\u00a0<strong>Search<\/strong>\u00a0strategy.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;5&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;4&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;208888&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; radius=&#8221;sm&#8221; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":320,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-troubleshooting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/properti.ng\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/properti.ng\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/properti.ng\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/properti.ng\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/properti.ng\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/properti.ng\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":323,"href":"https:\/\/properti.ng\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322\/revisions\/323"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/properti.ng\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/properti.ng\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/properti.ng\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/properti.ng\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
