For many Nigerians in the diaspora and even at home, the biggest question when buying land isn’t about the land itself.

It’s this:

“How do I know the developer won’t disappear after I pay?”
“Can I really trust this project — or will it end like the others I’ve heard about?”

In a country where real estate scams are all too common, trust is not a luxury. It’s a necessity. And estates like Awele are proving that trust can be built — not just claimed.

1. Verified Registration and Government Backing

Before trusting any estate developer, check:

• Are they registered with REDAN (Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria)?
  
• Are they listed with LASRERA (for Lagos-based developers)?
  
• Is their business traceable at the CAC (Corporate Affairs Commission)?
  

Esso Properties, the developer behind Awele, checks all these boxes. Their reputation has been covered by ThisDay as a company setting the gold standard for structured real estate development in the East (ThisDay).

2. Ongoing Construction You Can See — Not Just Promises

Unlike many “off-plan” estates that only show brochures, Awele is under active construction:

• Gatehouse rising
  
• Roads already graded
  
• Perimeter fencing done
  
• Weekly drone footage provided
  
• Site tours available both physically and virtually
  

If a developer is hiding their progress — that’s a red flag. Awele shows it to the world.

3. Clear, Documented Process

With Awele, you receive:

• A contract of sale
  
• Survey plan and allocation letter
  
• Receipt for every payment
  
• Access to verify land status at the Ministry of Lands
  

They don’t just ask you to trust them. They document your trust.

4. Escrow-Based Payment System

One of the most powerful trust signals in real estate is escrow.

Awele uses an escrow account system, meaning:

• Your money is held in a third-party account
  
• Funds are only released as development progresses
  
• You’re not paying directly to individuals or agents
  

This system alone has made many diaspora clients feel safe enough to buy without boarding a plane.

5. Testimonials and Public Visibility

Trust also comes from people who’ve walked the path.

Hundreds of Awele buyers have:

• Received their documents
  
• Started building
  
• Shared photos, videos, and reviews online
  

You can speak to clients. You can watch videos. You can visit the site. That’s how real trust is earned.

Final Word: You Don’t Trust a Developer Because They Say So. You Trust Them Because You Can Verify Everything.

And that’s exactly what Awele was built to offer — visibility, process, and performance.

If you’ve been burned before, you’re not alone. But now, you have an option that’s built to earn your trust.
