1

Create

Create your free account

Sign up with your phone number or email in under 2 minutes. Verify via OTP. Set your preferred location, budget range, and property type so we can personalise your search from day one.

2

Search

Browse verified listings

Search homes by location, price, and property type across Ogun State — Sagamu, Mowe, Ibafo, and more. Every listing you see has already passed our 5-layer verification process. No fakes. No duplicates. No stock images.

3

Review

Review the listing in detail

Each listing shows real photos, a video walkthrough, a transparent price breakdown, the landlord’s verified profile, and reviews from previous tenants. Look for the Verified badge and Scout Visited indicator.

4

Contact

Contact the landlord directly

Send a message or request the landlord’s phone number directly through the platform. There is no agent standing between you and the property owner. No commission charged to you.

5

Inspect

Inspect in person before paying

Always visit the property during daylight hours before committing any payment. Confirm the address, test utilities, and confirm the person showing you the property matches their verified profile.

RealHomly does not collect rent. Never pay money to anyone before you have physically inspected the property.

6

Move In

Agree terms, pay, and move in

Once satisfied, arrange your tenancy agreement directly with the landlord. Get everything in writing. Request a receipt for every payment.

Under Nigerian law, a landlord cannot demand more than one year’s rent in advance.
