Fortreal Academy: Changing the narrative in Nigeria real estate sector

Real estate in Nigeria at the moment is experiencing an exponential rise in patronage and gaining acceptance with a lot of investors taking advantage of the sector.

The increased demand for real estate has led to the influx of several players into the sector who are keen on taking advantage of it to better their lives by building wealth and securing the future through owning properties.

On the other hand, there has been a steady rise in the number of Realtors and real estate brokers who, because of the low barrier entry into the business, are mostly not grounded in the knowledge of real estate, how to market and sell it, basic Nigerian property laws and the various regulations that guide the marketing, sales and acquisition of properties, and part of these have led to the birthing of the Fortreal Academy.

Fortreal Academy which is a fast rising real estate school in Nigeria was birthed with a vision and mandate to inspire and empower a generation of realtors and real estate professionals who are skillful, knowledgeable, outstanding, legally smart and wealthy. This is to ensure that the saturated real estate marketing and sales space of Nigeria is equipped with realtors and real estate professionals who are sound, knowledgeable and skillful enough to reduce the scams in the sector.

Since its inception, Fortreal Academy has conducted Trainings for both newbie and experienced realtors, trained real estate companies and their sales executives, engaged in training and consulted for Developers both within and outside Abuja amongst several other training engagements.

Fortreal Academy which is arguably becoming the number one real estate school in Nigeria has since its inception graduated over 70 salespersons from its paid Masterclass and trained over 1,500 Realtors across Nigeria.

According to Raymond Ijeomah, the lead facilitator of the Academy, Fortreal Academy is the only real estate school in Nigeria that has a simplified and detailed real estate law course for real estate professionals and practitioners in Nigeria”. As a property lawyer himself with theoretical and practical experience of the real estate business, it was only necessary to include this asset in its curriculum because indeed, there is no successful, safe and sustainable real estate transaction without the property application of the law.
