Global online real estate market place, Lamudi, has announced yet another milestone, reaching the 5,000 listings mark within seven months of existence.
This shows how the real estate industry in Ghana is moving from offline to online at a record pace.
Lamudi Ghana, started operations in Ghana in November 2013, and has been growing from strength to strength. The online real estate marketplace has not only provided a platform for real estate businesses, but also connected thousands of homeowners to their dream property.
Managing Director of Lamudi, Akua Nyame-Mensah, shared her excitement at this major landmark: “We at Lamudi are proud to have reached 5,000 listings within this short period and it is testament to the hard work this team has put in. We also owe it to our esteemed partners in the real estate industry as well as the many cherished home owners who have contributed to this success. We would like everyone to brace themselves for bigger things to come.”
Lamudi is not only concerned with achieving a high subscriber base, but strives to always provide the highest quality standards. The online real estate portal has a quality control team that focuses on contacting property owners and agents about properties they have uploaded and has a zero-tolerance policy towards fraud to protect house hunters.
In June, Lamudi launched the world’s first Android app for house hunters and followed this up on Apple’s iOS platform. The app, “Lamudi: Real Estate for Sale and Rent”, hosts more than 400,000 property listings from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America, giving international house-hunters a free mobile platform to buy, rent or sell real estate on the go.
Lamudi also has a strong social media presence, with over 400,000 followers on Facebook alone. Other social media platforms the online real estate has an active presence in are Twitter, Instagram, Youtube and LinkedIn.
