Nigerian Property Marketplace Platform
Budget: £750 – £1,500 GBP
I want to launch a secure, user-friendly property marketplace that serves the Nigerian real-estate sector. The site must list both residential and commercial properties and allow every stakeholder—buyers, renters, sellers, landlords, real-estate agents, and developers—to interact on one platform.
Core functionality:
1. The most trusted property marketplace:
- Create multiple trust badges (e.g., Verified Owner, Verified CAC Business, Physically Inspected Property, GPS Verified, Video Verified, Title Documents Verified).
- Display a Trust Score (e.g., Trust Score: 96%).
- Highlight verified features such as "Video Verified," "GPS Verified," "Owner Verified," "Updated 2 days ago," and "7 successful transactions."
2. Eliminate duplicate listings:
- AI detects duplicates using images, GPS, description similarity, and price similarity.
- Consolidate duplicates under "15 agents represent this property" instead of separate listings.
3. Verified video walkthroughs:
- Require premium listings to include a 2-minute walkthrough covering outside road, compound, kitchen, bathroom, and neighborhood.
4. AI Property Assistant:
- Users can input queries like budget, bedroom count, proximity to landmarks (e.g., airport), investment potential, and flood-prone areas.
- AI provides tailored recommendations beyond basic filters.
5. Property history:
- Display listing history (e.g., Listed Jan 2025 at ₦95M; Reduced Feb to ₦90M; Viewed 3,200 times; Saved 245 times).
6. Buy directly from owner:
- Separate category for "No Agent" verified owner listings.
7. Tenant reviews:
- Allow users to review estates, landlords, agents, developers, and property managers (e.g., Green Estate: ★★★★☆ Water: Excellent; Security: Good; Roads: Poor; Noise: Low).
8. AI photo quality scoring:
- Automatically reject blurry photos, dark photos, duplicated photos, fake renders, or watermarked images.
9. Interactive map search:
- Google Maps-like experience with features like drawing search areas and viewing nearby schools, restaurants, hospitals, traffic conditions, and flood zones.
10. Diaspora mode:
- Virtual inspections with live video tours with agents.
- Escrow payment options for secure transactions.
11. Escrow payments:
- Implement platform escrow for secure transactions.
12. Property comparison:
- Compare up to four properties side-by-side based on features like bedrooms, bathrooms, land size, generator availability, solar power setup, water access, distance to work/schools/amenities/investment score.
13. Real-time availability:
- Require agents to confirm listings every 30 days or mark them as "Expired" to keep the marketplace fresh.
14. Property bidding:
- Enable auctions for premium properties where owners set reserves and buyers bid competitively.
15. AI investment score:
- Provide an investment score (e.g., Investment Score: 89/100) with reasons like growing area potential or high rental demand.
Deliverables:
a) Responsive web application (desktop & mobile views).
b) Admin dashboard for content moderation and user management.
c) Database schema and API documentation.
d) Deployment scripts plus a brief hand-off guide.
