Is there a cost to register and join RealServInc? It is completely free to register an account as a customer to search for and contact service providers. You will only pay the professional directly for the work you hire them to do.
However, for professionals looking to open a business profile, we operate on a tiered yearly subscription model, ranging from a Basic Plan at ₦15,000 per month up to a Premium Plan at ₦150,000 per month. We do not charge commissions, ensuring you keep a higher percentage of your earnings.
How can RealServInc help expand my business? We offer a high-visibility platform that connects your vetted business with serious institutional and private buyers. Professionals subscribed to our plans receive verified lead generation, platform-exclusive RFP (Request for Proposal) access, and prominent brand placement in our HNWI advisory briefings.
How can I connect with a brand-new stream of customers? To start connecting with customers, you must complete our vetting process by providing a government-issued ID, your CAC business registration details, and proof of professional body membership. Once verified, upgrading your subscription tier offers better search rankings and visibility. We also encourage you to deliver high-quality work, as earning positive customer reviews significantly improves your profile's impact.
How does RealServInc protect clients and investors from fraud? Trust is our currency. We have a zero-tolerance policy for fraudulent behaviour, and any serious misconduct results in permanent removal from the platform. For high-value and advisory clients, we perform rigorous "Title Integrity" checks, verifying all documentation (like C of O or Governor’s Consent) through relevant state land bureaus to completely eliminate "omo-onile" in Nigeria or document risks elsewhere.
Can RealServInc facilitate real estate acquisitions for clients based outside of Nigeria? Absolutely. Our "Continental Mandate" caters directly to the diaspora and international investors. We provide Remote Portfolio Management, offering virtual property tours, legal representation for title registration, and ongoing facility management, acting as your "boots on the ground" from Lagos to Nairobi.
