SMART MOVES YOU CAN INCULCATE AS A NEWBIE IN REAL ESTATE
SMART MOVES YOU CAN INCULCATE AS A NEWBIE IN REAL ESTATE
BY DENNIS ISONG
Lillian just graduated from University and instead of the usual expectation of getting an office job, she decided to go into real estate from a startup fund she got from her father. As a newbie that didn’t know much before diving into real estate, she made so many mistakes. How did the mistake happen? Lillian didn’t have a grasp of proper information which made her do the wrong things some of the time. The most crucial aspect of it she missed is having a mentor to put her through, so she wasted a lot of time doing trial and error. But all these experiences are for good. They molded and shaped Lillian to be better at what she did. She learned, unlearned, and relearned.
Sometimes, mistakes are the best experience that carves a better future. Newbies in real estate have a lot to learn that would help them do better. We are in an era where you shouldn’t fall at a disadvantage because all facilities are available at our disposal to do just fine if we know how to make use of them. However, if you don’t know, it might be an extreme sport to have easy.
So, what are the smart moves?
- Research
You can’t do away with research in any sector you decide to delve into. This is an important step that must not be skipped. Research helps you figure out solutions to problems. Then, you will be able to know what will work for you in the long run.
Look out for people who have been into the business and ask them questions. If you can, intern with them so you have more knowledge about the sector.
- Read
Reading should be a habit if you want to do well in real estate. Read books, publications, news, etc. about real estate and about people who are into the business.
- Check things out yourself
Do not hear things and run with them. Find out on your own. Being in real estate requires that you be on the move and not for just being on the move’s sake, you have to do the assignment yourself by checking, asking, and finding information about everything related to your niche in real estate.
- Create your niche
To do well easily in real estate, create your niche. Don’t pick up everything at once. You may think that you have the energy to do it all but this slows down your progress. Just focus on a niche and develop in it.
- Go for courses relating to real estate
Real estate is not studied in our higher institutions but there are various courses you can register for online that help you build more capacity to be more successful in real estate. Invest in yourself. Investing in yourself is learning more in all avenues available for improvement. Buy books and read widely. In all of these, don’t thrash street knowledge as it’s equally important.
- Look out for a mentor
A mentor is vital at this point. You need someone to be accountable to daily. This will help you be more organized, focused, and less confused. It’s not just any mentor you look out for, find the one that is in line with what you are doing.
- Be more of a listener and an observer
If you want to learn, then, you have to reduce how much you talk and jump on issues. Pay attention to details and read in-between lines. Listening and observing would make you discover secrets applicable to how you go about your real estate business.
- Create a network of people
Creating a network of people allows for creating solid connections, and secure contacts that boost your business. But you have to be tactical with the kind of people you intend to create connections with so you don’t have too many people that can’t impart value in your real estate business.
- Work on your portfolio
A great portfolio projects that you know what you are doing and are a professional while at it. This makes investors trust your judgment and be rest assured to put their money on whatever you present to them. So, working on your portfolio enhances your chances to do well and be successful in the real estate business.

The Chairman/CEO of Adron Group, Sir Aare Adetola Emmanuel King KOF, has congratulated Hon. Adesola Ayoola-Elegbeji on her resounding victory in the just-concluded by-election for the Remo Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives.
In a goodwill message issued by him, he described the victory as “a historic moment for the Remo people, coming at a time when the constituency yearns for a leader with vision, courage, and genuine commitment to service.”
He noted that the outcome of the election was an attestation to the trust and confidence reposed in Hon. Ayoola-Elegbeji by the people, adding that her sterling qualities, integrity, accessibility, and compassion for the grassroots had endeared her to the electorate.
“The overwhelming support you garnered at the polls is proof that you are the right voice at the right time to carry the aspirations of Remo to the national stage,” he stated.
While acknowledging that the by-election followed the painful demise of the late Hon. Adewunmi Oriyomi Onanuga (Ijaya), Aare Adetola Emmanuel King said Hon. Ayoola-Elegbeji’s emergence symbolizes the continuity of purposeful representation. He expressed confidence that she would not only sustain the legacy of her predecessor but also surpass it with new energy, innovative ideas, and progressive leadership.
The Adron Group Chairman further prayed for divine wisdom, strength, and compassion for the Member-Elect as she assumes office, expressing confidence that her tenure will usher in meaningful development, economic empowerment, and greater opportunities for the people of Remo Federal Constituency.
Olowu Celebrates Former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida, At 84
Olowu of Kuta, HRM Oba Dr Hammed Oyelude Makama, CON, Tegbosun III, has congratulated former military president, Gen Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, rtd, who is 84 today.
Olowu, in a statement he signed, eulogised the former military ruler for his modest achievements while he was in power.
According to Olowu, ” IBB is an enigma. He has carved a niche for himself as a former military president. His tenure witnessed the completion of many monumental legacy projects that are still visible today. His Hill Top Mansion in Minna has become a Mecca of sorts for those who aspired to lead Nigeria.”
Olowu, who described Gen Babangida as being grossly misunderstood, said history would be kind to him.
He said, “The launch of Gen Babangida’s Autobiography: ‘A Journey In Service’, and the testimonies from the likes of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia, Abdusalam Rabiu, Oil Magnate, Arthur Eze, and many others, testified to his goodwill despite leaving public office three decades ago.
” On behalf of myself, my Oloris and Olowu-In-Council.
All members of the defunct IBB Vision 2003 and Vision 2007, I wish President Ibrahim Babangida, rtd, a happy birthday. I also wish him all the best as he aged gracefully,” Olowu added.
Born on August 17, 1941, Gen Ibrahim Babangida, rtd, ruled Nigeria from 1985 to 1993.
His presidency was marked by significant political and economic reforms.
A new dawn breaks over Agunjin — a moment etched in gold in the annals of history — as the crown of the Ariwajoye Adekeye Royal Dynasty returns to its rightful home. With this homecoming, the living legacy of Agunjin’s royal heritage is renewed, strengthened, and destined to shine for generations to come.
The proud sons and daughters of Agunjin welcome His Royal Highness, Oba Isiaka Babatunde Malik Adekeye, Ariwajoye III of Agunjin Land, with joy, reverence, and boundless hope for the future.
A distinguished Nigerian based in New York, Oba Adekeye is a dynamic and accomplished professional whose illustrious career spans cinematography, international trade, and hospitality. Born into the revered Ariwajoye Adekeye Royal Family of Agunjin, in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, His Royal Highness now carries forward an ancestral legacy steeped in honor, dignity, and purpose.
The new Oba Adekeye is the proud nephew of the late Oba Jimoh Ajide Adekeye and the grandson of Oba Alade Adekeye — custodians of Agunjin’s noble traditions whose names remain deeply woven into the history of the land.
As the Yoruba say,
“Adé kì í wọ́ lórí aláìní orí.” — The crown does not rest on a head without destiny.”
His Royal Highness wears the crown not as a mere ornament, but as a solemn trust from his ancestors to his people.
The Adekeye Royal Family extends profound gratitude to: His Excellency, H.E.AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, Chaiman GFON, Sadauna Ngeri of Ilorin, Executive Governor of Kwara State; The Chairman, Kwara State Council of Chiefs, Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, Emir of Ilorin; The Chairman, Igbomina Traditional Rulers Forum, Oba (Barr.) Alh. Ismail Bolaji Yahaya Atoloye Alebiosu, Olupo of Ajase Ipo; The Chairman, Ifelodun Traditional Council, HRM Oba (Dr.) Alhaji Ahmed Awuni Babalola Arepo III, Elese of Igbaja; The Ifelodun Traditional Council Members and the Kwara State Traditional Council.
Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to the Hon. Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs and Community Development, Hon. Abdullahi Bata, and to the Executive Chairman, Ifelodun LGA, Hon. Femi Yusuf, for their steadfast commitment to upholding historical truths and safeguarding the cherished traditions of Agunjin.
As the newly crowned Ariwajoye III, Oba Adekeye brings decades of professionalism, global exposure, and deep cultural pride to his reign. His vision is noble and unwavering — to champion sustainable development across the Agunjin district, preserve the rich traditions of the land, and unite his people both at home and in the diaspora under one banner of progress, peace, and pride.
In the words of an old royal proverb, “When the king builds bridges, the people will cross to a better tomorrow.” Ariwajoye III now stands as that bridge — connecting the heritage of the past with the promise of the future.
Long live Ariwajoye III. Long live the Ariwajoye Adekeye Royal Family. Long live Agunjin Land.
