Administrative Officer at Vestates Limited

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.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
