Where to book a real estate consultation in Lagos depends on what you need: a registered advisory firm for one-on-one guidance before you buy, a lawyer or surveyor for a specific document, or an agent when you are ready to transact. If you want guidance first, you can explore our real estate consultation in Lagos with ATLAS REALTORS online, or go straight to our booking page.
Quick answer: You can book a real estate consultation in Lagos with a registered real estate advisory firm, online or in person. Choose one you can verify on the CAC register, that states what the session covers and what it costs, that tells you honestly how it is paid, and that lets you decide without pressure. ATLAS REALTORS offers one-on-one consultations by video, phone or in person in Lagos for ₦100,000, and you can book and pay online.
What Are Your Options for a Real Estate Consultation in Lagos?
There are five places people usually go for property advice in Lagos, and each does a different job.
| Where | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Real estate advisory firm | One-on-one guidance on your goals, budget, location and the checks to complete before you buy | Check it is registered, states its fee and explains how it is paid |
| Estate agent or broker | Finding, marketing or completing a transaction | Agents are usually paid when a deal closes, so ask how |
| Property lawyer | Reviewing contracts and title documents for a specific property | Usually involved once you have chosen a property, not before |
| Licensed surveyor | Checking a survey plan and plot boundaries | Covers the land itself, not your wider decision |
| Developer's sales team | Details of the developer's own projects | Their role is to sell their project, not to compare it with others |
Many buyers use more than one. A consultation comes first to decide what needs checking, and specialists are brought in for the specific checks.
How Do You Choose Where to Book a Real Estate Consultation in Lagos?
Choose a provider you can verify, that states in advance what the session covers and costs, and that is honest about how it earns money. Six checks make this practical:
- Registration you can verify. Search the business on the CAC public company search. ATLAS REALTORS is the trading brand of ATLAS REAL ESTATE BROKER LTD, CAC RC-9072549 and SCUML SC251845670.
- A clear scope. You should know what the session covers, how long it lasts and what you receive afterward.
- A stated fee. Compare what each fee includes, not only the amount.
- Honest answers on how they are paid. Ask whether the firm earns commission on properties it recommends. Any good firm will answer plainly.
- Evidence from real clients. Look for verifiable reviews and client videos. You can watch ours in the ATLAS video gallery.
- No pressure and no guarantees. Anyone who promises a risk-free purchase, or hurries you to pay before you have had advice, is a warning sign.

What Does a Real Estate Consultation in Lagos Include?
You are not paying ATLAS Realtors to show you a property. You are paying for professional guidance before you commit your money. A consultation includes a one-on-one session, an assessment of your goals and budget, location and property-type guidance, due-diligence guidance, title and documentation guidance, seller and developer considerations, buying-process and payment-plan guidance, diaspora remote-buying guidance, on-ground support strategy and clear next steps.
After the consultation, ATLAS may recommend additional services such as property verification, property due diligence, documentation advisory, physical or remote property inspection, developer or seller verification and transaction support. You can read how the process works in our guide to real estate due diligence in Lagos.
How Does ATLAS REALTORS Get Paid?
The consultation fee is ₦100,000, and it pays for the advice. ATLAS may also earn a commission if you decide to buy a property it recommends. You are never obliged to buy, and we will tell you if a property does not suit your goals. To see how this compares with a typical agent, read ATLAS REALTORS vs a real estate agent.
What Are the Warning Signs When Choosing Where to Book?
Walk away, or slow down, if a provider:
- Cannot show a registration you can verify
- Promises a guaranteed, risk-free purchase or a fixed return
- Asks you to pay into a personal account instead of a company account
- Pushes you to pay or decide before you have had advice
- Will not explain its fee or how it earns money

How Should You Compare Two Providers Side by Side?
Compare providers on the same seven points and write the answers down. A provider that answers clearly and in writing is easier to trust than one that sounds convincing on the phone and goes vague afterwards.
What to compare |
A good answer |
A warning sign |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | A business name and CAC number you can verify | No registered name, or a name that does not match the account you are asked to pay into |
| Scope | A written list of what the session covers | "We will discuss everything" |
| Fee | A stated amount and what it includes | A fee that changes after you agree |
| How they are paid | A plain answer, including any commission | Avoiding the question |
| Format | Video, phone or in person, chosen by you | One option only, usually at a property |
| After the session | Clear next steps and a choice about whether to continue | Immediate pressure to pay a deposit |
| Pressure | You can decide in your own time | Deadlines that appear only after you show interest |
Score each provider out of seven and keep the notes. If two providers score the same, choose the one that explained its fee and its commission most clearly.
What Should You Ask in Your First Message or Call?
Ask six questions before you pay anything. They take five minutes and tell you more than a brochure will.
- What exactly will the session cover, and how long does it last?
- What does it cost, and what is not included?
- How are you paid, and do you earn commission on properties you recommend?
- Can I speak with you from abroad, and can someone inspect properties in Lagos for me?
- What will I have at the end of the session?
- What happens if I decide not to buy?
At ATLAS, the answers are these: the session covers your goals, budget, location and property-type guidance, due-diligence and documentation guidance and next steps (the full list is above). The fee is ₦100,000. ATLAS may earn a commission if you buy a property it recommends. You can meet by video, phone or in person in Lagos, and ATLAS carries out site inspections. You leave with clear next steps, and you are never obliged to buy.
What Should You Book First: Consultation, Verification or Due Diligence?
Book a consultation first if you are still deciding what to buy, where or how. Book property verification once you have a specific property and need its ownership, documents and seller checked. Book due diligence when you want a broader investigation across the title, developer, documentation and any loan-related considerations. Many buyers use them in that order.
Our guide to real estate due diligence in Lagos explains what each stage checks and in what order. If you are unsure which applies to you, book a consultation and the consultant will recommend the next step. You are not obliged to use any further service.
Where Should Nigerians Abroad Start?
Start with a consultation by video or phone, then decide what needs checking on the ground. ATLAS’s diaspora real estate service explains how the on-ground work in Lagos is carried out for you. We also have services on buying property in Nigeria from the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia and Dubai.
If you would rather read about the consultation itself, see our pages for Nigerians in the UK, the USA and Canada.
Who Is Behind This Guide, and How Was It Prepared?
This guide is published by ATLAS REALTORS, the trading brand of ATLAS REAL ESTATE BROKER LTD (CAC RC-9072549, SCUML SC251845670). ATLAS was founded by Gbenga Adeyeye to give property buyers in Lagos and Nigerians abroad honest, structured guidance before they commit money to a property.
What we describe here is how an ATLAS Realtors consultation actually runs. You choose a service, pay online, pick a date from the calendar and speak with a consultant by video, phone or in person in Lagos. ATLAS consults with Nigerians in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and the UAE, and carries out the on-ground work in Lagos on their behalf.
We state our fee and how ATLAS is paid, including that ATLAS may earn a commission on a property it recommends. We also say where our advice stops: a consultation cannot guarantee an outcome, and the legal and tax points in this guide are general information, not legal or tax advice. Please confirm anything that affects your money with a qualified Nigerian property lawyer. We date this guide and update it when our process or the rules change.
One client review on the ATLAS Google profile describes the process as “smooth, transparent, and professionally handled,” and says the team helped make sure “all legal documentation was in order.” At the time of writing the profile shows 64 reviews, and you can read them yourself on our google profile before you book.
