PLATFORM

The real estate sector in Nigeria continues to face significant challenges, including the prevalence of fraudulent property listings, unverified agents, lack of transparency, and inefficient processes for property transactions. This research proposes the development of a web-based property listing platform designed to address these issues by leveraging technology to enhance the efficiency, security, and reliability of real estate dealings. The platform aims to provide a secure environment where property seekers, verified agents, and legitimate sellers can interact, access accurate property information, and complete transactions with greater confidence. The study follows a structured methodology, beginning with requirement gathering through stakeholder consultations, literature review, and analysis of existing platforms. The system design translates these requirements into an architecture that integrates agent verification, property document authentication, advanced search and filtering options, interactive mapping, and secure communication features. The implementation phase involves the development of a user-friendly frontend and a robust backend, followed by rigorous testing to ensure system reliability, security, and performance. Deployment and hosting will make the platform accessible to the target audience, while evaluation will measure its impact in terms of usability, trust enhancement, and fraud reduction. The expected outcome of this research is a functional, scalable, and user-centered platform that contributes to transforming real estate transactions in Nigeria. The project is anticipated to provide a reference model for similar solutions in developing economies, demonstrating how digital technologies can promote transparency, accountability, and efficiency in informal markets. In addition to delivering a practical solution, the research aims to enrich the body of knowledge on secure web-based systems for property management, offering insights for future academic inquiry and professional practice.
