One of the most significant technological advancements in the real estate industry is the use of online property listings. Today, buyers and renters can easily search for properties online and view detailed information, including photos and virtual tours, without having to physically visit the property. This not only saves time but also makes it easier for buyers to make informed decisions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another area where technology has had a significant impact is in the area of marketing and advertising. Real estate businesses can now reach a wider audience with targeted digital advertising and social media marketing. This has allowed real estate businesses to connect with potential buyers and renters in new and innovative ways.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technology has also made it easier for real estate professionals to manage their day-to-day operations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Virtual and augmented reality technologies are becoming increasingly popular in the real estate industry. Virtual tours, for example, allow buyers and renters to experience a property without having to physically visit it. This has become particularly relevant since the COVID-19 pandemic, where physical viewings are not always possible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finding the right real estate agent can be a challenge, but with the rise of technology, the process has become easier.

 

 

 

 

 

How you can use technology to connect with the right real estate agent:

 

 

 

 

 

– Utilize online platforms:

 

There are many online platforms where you can find real estate agents, such as Jiji.ng, NigeriapropertyCenter.com, and privateproperty.com.ng. These platforms allow you to search for agents based on their location, experience, and customer reviews. This is a great way to get a feel for the agents in your area and find someone who fits your needs.

 

– Research online:

 

Once you have a list of potential agents, you can research them further by checking their websites and social media profiles. You can also read customer reviews and testimonials to see what others have to say about their experiences with the agent.

 

– Use video conferencing:

 

Technology has made it easier to connect with agents from the comfort of your own home. Many agents use video conferencing platforms such as Zoom to conduct virtual consultations. This allows you to get to know the agent before you even meet in person, and can help you determine if they are the right fit for you.

 

– Utilize virtual tours:

 

Many real estate agents now offer virtual tours of properties, allowing you to take a virtual walk-through without having to leave your home. This is a great way to get a feel for the properties and get a better understanding of what you’re looking for.

 

– Use real estate apps:

 

There are many real estate apps available that can help you connect with the right agent. These apps allow you to search for properties, get notifications when new properties come on the market and connect with agents directly.

 

– Check for credentials:

 

It’s important to make sure that the real estate agent you’re considering is licensed and has the necessary credentials to practice in your area. You can check their credentials on the National Association of Realtors (NAR) website or your state’s licensing board website. This will give you peace of mind knowing that you’re working with a professional who has the necessary education and experience.

 

– Ask for referrals:

 

Word of mouth is still one of the best ways to find a great real estate agent. Ask friends, family, and co-workers for referrals and see if they have any recommendations. If someone you know has had a positive experience with a particular agent, there’s a good chance that you will too.

 

– Consider the agent’s communication style:

 

Communication is key when working with a real estate agent. You want to make sure that you’re comfortable with the way they communicate and that they respond promptly to your questions and concerns. Ask the agent about their communication style and how they prefer to stay in touch with clients.

 

Technology has transformed the real estate industry in several ways. From online property listings to virtual tours, real estate businesses are now able to reach a wider audience, streamline their processes, and make better-informed decisions. With technology continuing to advance, it’s clear that the role of technology in the real estate industry will continue to grow and evolve.

 

Lastly you can also use Google and YouTube.

 

By following these tips and utilizing technology, you can find the right real estate agent to help you buy or sell your home. With the right support, you can make the process as stress-free and smooth as possible. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and do your research – your goal is to find an agent who understands your needs and is a good fit for you.

Kogi Tribunal: Confusion as SDP witness contradicts self on alleged ‘affidavit forgery’

.Renders testimony baseless

The testimony of a witness of the Social Democratic Party at the Election Petitions Tribunal on the Kogi State governorship election went awry, on Thursday as the witness’ statement before the Tribunal contradicted the documents submitted.

Advertisment

The petitioners had delved away from BVAS, after their star witness claimed he was not in Kogi State during the said election, and alleged that the All Progressives Congress candidate, now the Kogi State Governor, Usman Ododo, forged his age declaration affidavit.

The witness, one Dan Musa Williams from the FCT High Court, in Abuja, who had said the document did not emanate from the Court, upon cross examination, could not substantiate his claims.

When asked whether he checked the record of the registry to ascertain that it was a forged document, he said he just looked at the date, being a Saturday and concluded that it could not have been from them.

It was, however, found that the “declaration of age” affidavit was sworn in Okene, Kogi State, and not in FCT, but the witness claimed that a lawyer forwarded the one he was talking about to him.

Confusion, however, set in when the witness claimed that he also concluded that the affidavit submitted by the APC candidate was fake because it did not have the name and picture of the deponent on it.

At this point, the attention of the SDP witness was drawn to the fact that the affidavit with INEC, which he also annexed, had both the picture of the deponent and name, and that it was sworn in Okene and not FCT.

The contradictions between what the witness said in court and the documents he (the same witness) presented to the court, seemed to have damaged his testimony beyond repair, as he could not give further defence after the discrepancies were pointed out.

Sitting was thereby adjourned to March 30, 2024 for continuation of hearing.

Pius Akubo, SAN, represented the petitioners, while Kanu Agabi SAN, JB Daudu SAN, and DC Denwigwe SAN represented the Respondents.

The Senior Pastor of A Torch From Heaven Ministry, Bishop Joe Ighalo has warned the Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Bishop Steven Adegbite to steer clear from the internal affairs of the state’s chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN).

Ighalo said this during a press briefing titled: “State of Our State; Our Stand” in Lagos.

He said that the Adegbite-led Lagos chapter of CAN should not bring politics into the kingdom matters, especially when it has to do with the Lagos State chapter of PFN.

According to him, there is no doubt that CAN is the umbrella body of the PFN, but they should be allowed to handle its internal affairs.

“Why would you want to destroy PFN and keep CAN going, this is against the mission of the founding fathers of the PFN,” he said.

Ighalo noted that the issue between CAN and PFN began when the national body of the PFN failed to ratify the election of Pastor Kehinde, the acclaimed winner of the February 5, 2024 PFN Chairmanship election.

The PFN national body did not ratify the election as it said that there were anomalies in the process.

However, the Lagos CAN Chairman, Bishop Adegbite, reportedly led a protest against the development, which prompted Bishop Ighalo to say that CAN does not have any constitutional right or power over PFN, and warned that they should not interfere with the affairs of the PFN.

Also speaking, the Senior Pastor of Agape Worship Center, Ojodu, Lagos, Dr. David Odi said that as far as he was concerned, Lagos State is one of the most organised states in Nigeria in terms of economy, leadership and ministry, adding that this must be respected.

Odi explained that those who are behind the issue are trying to create problems that doesn’t exist in PFN body since inception so that whoever is voted into office would owe them allegiance.

“There’s no fight or crisis in Lagos PFN. I don’t even know any other person who is interested in the position,” he added.

According to him, i believed that the current chairman of the Lagos State chapter of PFN has served his term and is on his way out, and that Pastor Kehinde is not dragging the position with anybody.

“I don’t know any other person that will take the position until proper election is conducted.

“I’m optimistic that if there’s any election tomorrow, next week or next month, Pastor Kehinde will still win because nobody is dragging it with him.

“Those people still occupying the seat have finished their terms,just for them to exchange mantle and congratulated Pastor Kehinde.

“People behind the crisis are those who have peculiar interest in filthy lucre that the Bible talked about. Some people are driven by hunger for money. They are doing this because of the 2027 general elections ,” he said.

He added that some people want to make Pastor Kehinde believe that they fought for him to get into the office.

Meanwhile, nobody is fighting to bring anybody in, if there’s election anytime we would still vote for him.

In his contributions, Dr. Bolaji Akinyemi, Convener of Apostolic Round Table, (ART)
said that nobody will destroyed or throw fire into his house to burn it down because of selfish interest.

Stressing that “PFN is our room” and “CAN is our building,” and the matter will soon be resolved amicably.

Stakeholders in PFN have set up a committee to resolve the matter between those that are involved as any house that is divided against itself do not stand .
