Real estate agency is primarily a mobile and offline profession. Information technology (IT), as it were, is not the forte of real estate professionals. However, more and more real estate consumers are going online to find property and property-related services. To help agents reach this new class of consumers and vice versa, Hutbay has launched Company Pages for estate agents.

Searching for agents within your neighborhood of interests just becomes a lot easier. No more endless pouring into Yellow Pages or newspaper ads making random calls to reach out to random agents. This is a painful and time-wasting process.

But Hutbay is changing the way consumers will start finding real estate agents in Nigeria. Consumers can now use Hutbay to narrow down agents that service a particular area and get more information about each agents including reviews and ratings from their past clients. This new find an agent directory from Hutbay will improve drastically consumer’s experience while searching for an agent, just as Hutbay helped change the way people search for homes.
