Lagos, Dec. 16, 2025 (NAN) 1st Choice Properties has launched a free mobile app to promote transparency in real estate transactions, supporting sustainable development and affordable mass housing in Nigeria.
Unveiling the app in Lagos on Tuesday, Managing Director, Taiwo Oladapo, said it would eliminate corruption, fake agents, middlemen and other barriers to smooth transactions.
Oladapo said Nigeria faces an acute housing shortage despite strong investment potential capable of attracting both diaspora and local investors.
He identified corruption, exploitation, and land and property speculation as major factors discouraging investment in the housing sector.
According to him, Nigeria loses billions annually to corruption in housing and property dealings, a challenge the firm is determined to stop.
He said the 1st Choice Properties app, available on Google Play Store and the App Store, would remedy these challenges.
“The app makes investments safe and documentation seamless by connecting real landlords, tenants and genuine clients,” Oladapo said.
He said the goal was to make property transactions in Nigeria transparent and seamless, comparable with practices in developed countries.
Oladapo said the firm conducts extensive research to verify clients while protecting the interests and funds of all parties.
He added that the company would serve as a link between reliable landlords, agents, tenants and property investors.
“Renting a house in Nigeria can be stressful. We are here to save Nigerians from all the stress,” he said.
Oladapo said the app also integrates facility management to make real estate investments more attractive to local and foreign investors.
He urged government to increase youth participation in the real estate sector to drive economic growth.
Operating Officer Gbenga Agbana said the firm is registered with relevant regulators, including the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority.
Agbana said the organisation had carried out due diligence to ensure efficiency, assuring it entered the market to curb losses. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
