SWITCH TO REAL ESTATE - How to Start & Grow a Real Estate Career (Video)

Thinking of switching into real estate but don't know where to start? This course takes you from "interested" to actually registered, marketing yourself, and closing your first deals — with zero guesswork.

Real estate in Nigeria is one of the few careers with no income ceiling, no rigid entry requirements, and massive, growing demand — driven by rapid urbanization in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and beyond, a rising middle class, and steady diaspora investment. But most people who try to break in fail in year one — not because the opportunity isn't real, but because nobody showed them the actual steps: how to register properly, where your first clients come from, how to protect yourself (and your clients) from title fraud, and how to plan your income instead of hoping for it.

This course fixes that. It's built specifically for the Nigerian market — covering LASRERA/state regulation, CAC registration, C of O and Governor's Consent literacy, WhatsApp and community-based lead generation, and the specific scams and pitfalls (like unverified "omo onile" middlemen) that catch new agents off guard.

You'll walk away with a clear 90-day launch plan, a personal naira income calculator you can reuse for years, and the confidence to operate like a professional from day one — whether you're switching careers entirely or just starting out.

Perfect for:

• Aspiring real estate professionals ready to make the leap
• Career changers exploring real estate as a new path
• Newly registered agents building their first real client base
• Anyone curious about real estate as a career in Nigeria
