Storekeeper / Inventory Officer at Vestates

Vestates was born on the 19th March 2013 as a private Limited Liability company, to launch out into the real estate and property management services space. Our aim over the years has been to provide complete real estate services. These include the sale and lease of residential and commercial properties, and long-term property management within Nigeria and Internationally.

From our early days of operation, we have focused on using technology to compete and create a niche for ourselves in the Nigerian real estate industry. Unfortunately, we had to step down to a more analogue approach if we were to work with other stakeholders in the real estate space in Nigeria. We dare say that, Vestates was ahead of its time in that regard.

Over time we have grown to possess a large network of clients, nationally and internationally, including work methods with a stable structure, enforced by a highly skilled and upright team. The corona virus pandemic (COVID-19) has indirectly exposed how dependent the world is on technology, to transmit information among other things; same importance is applicable to our business and cannot be overstated. Technology has now been brought back to our focus, thereby sponsoring seamless growth in our operations scale.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
