Digital Platforms Lead the Charge in Real Estate Management
Between November 10–16, stakeholders in Nigeria’s property sector made another strong push for technology-driven transformation in how estates are managed, maintained, and operated.
At the Real Estate Management in Africa (REMA) Conference 2025, held in Lagos, thought leaders and industry executives called for deeper investment in PropTech—not just for sales and construction, but for post-development community management.
Here’s what’s driving the change:
- Smart Estate Operations: Platforms like Our Property NG are being lauded for their ability to automate rent collection, maintenance tracking, visitor management, and document storage.
- Enhanced Efficiency: Stakeholders say digital tools are helping reduce long-standing inefficiencies, such as lengthy paperwork, billing disputes, and outdated access control systems.
- Transparency & Accountability: With cloud-based storage, all parties—from residents to facility managers—can securely access lease terms, maintenance logs, and financial records in real time.
- Sustainability Gains: Intelligent energy monitoring and app-based security systems are emerging as important features. These can help reduce operating costs and improve resident safety. Why This Matters for the Market
- For Developers: Offering smart, digitally managed estates can be a differentiator in a crowded market.
- For Property Managers: PropTech unlocks better service levels, leaner operations, and stronger resident engagement.
- For Residents: More control over their homes and finances—and fewer surprises.
- For Investors: Digitally enabled communities are more scalable and potentially more valuable in the long term.
The real estate conversation in Nigeria is shifting. It’s no longer just about building—it’s about managing. As technology bridges the gap between brick-and-mortar and operations, the smart estate is becoming the new standard.
