Akure, Ondo State
Stop paying for fees nobody explained.
A ₦600,000 apartment in Akure can quietly cost ₦800,000+ once agents stack agreement, caution, and “inspection” fees on top. Propify shows one price upfront — and every property is physically inspected and reviewed by a lawyer before it's ever listed.
No hidden fees. No unverified listings. Ever.
You already know how this goes.
You agree on ₦600,000 for the year. Then it's the agency fee. The agreement fee. The caution deposit. An “inspection fee” nobody asked for. By the time you're done, you've paid ₦200,000 — sometimes more — above the number you agreed to, and no one itemized it until you were already committed.
And that's if the apartment even matches what you were shown.
This isn't a rumor. It's the reason Akure residents organized the “Stop Akure House Agent Extortion” campaign in January 2026 — and it's the exact problem Propify was built to fix.
How verification actually works
Step 1
Submit
A landlord submits the property — details, photos, video, and ownership documents.
Step 2
Ground Inspection
An on-ground agent visits in person, usually within 48 hours, and confirms it matches the listing.
Step 3
Legal Review
A lawyer reviews the ownership and occupancy documents for red flags, typically within 24–72 hours.
Step 4
Verified
The listing goes live with a Verified badge, the date, and the inspecting agent's name.
What “Verified” actually means
When you see the Verified badge, it means two specific things happened: someone from Propify physically visited the property and confirmed it matches what's listed, and a lawyer reviewed the ownership and occupancy paperwork for obvious red flags.
It doesn't mean a full land-registry title search has been run on every property — that's slower and more expensive than is practical before every listing goes live. We'd rather tell you exactly what the badge covers than let you assume it covers more than it does.
Verified status isn't permanent, either — it expires after six months, or immediately if a tenant raises a dispute, so the badge stays meaningful instead of becoming a one-time stamp.

Sample listings for illustration — real inventory goes live in Akure as landlords are onboarded and verified.

What does “Verified” actually mean?
An on-ground agent has physically confirmed the property matches its listing, and a lawyer has reviewed the ownership and occupancy documents for red flags. It's not a full land-registry title search — we're upfront about that so the badge means exactly what we say it means, not more.
How much does it cost?
One flat, disclosed fee — shown in full before you commit to anything, with nothing added later. We're finalizing the exact number as we onboard our first Akure landlords; it will always be visible upfront on every listing, never hidden until signing.
What if I don't want to rely on photos or video — I want to see it myself?
That's still your call. Verified doesn't mean video-only — once you request an inspection through Propify, you can arrange to view the property in person before committing to anything. Verification confirms the listing is real before you spend time on it; it doesn't replace seeing it yourself if that's what you want.
What happens if a verified property turns out not to match?
Re-verification is triggered immediately on a tenant dispute, and Verified status expires automatically after six months even without one — so the badge never goes stale.
