Blomset Properties

How Blomset Properties Works

Everything you need to search, save, and safely reach a seller — and how to protect yourself from fraud along the way.

1. Finding a Property

  • Use the search bar on the homepage to look up a location, property type, or keyword.
  • Apply filters — price range, property type, bedrooms, location — to narrow results.
  • Browse listing cards showing a photo, price, location, and key details at a glance.

2. Ask Our AI Assistant

The gold chat bubble in the corner of the site is the Blomset Properties AI Assistant. Tell it what you're looking for — location, budget, bedrooms — and it will search live listings for you and explain what it finds, including whether a seller or listing is verified.

It's a helpful shortcut for narrowing down scam-free options faster, but it doesn't replace doing your own checks. Always confirm a listing yourself using the safety checklist further down this page before you pay anything.

3. Viewing a Property

Click any listing to open its full details page, where you'll find the full photo gallery, video or 3D tour where available, price and specifications, seller information, and a Contact Seller option.

4. Saving Properties

Click the heart/save icon on any listing to add it to your favourites, so you can find it again later without searching from scratch.

5. Contacting a Seller

You can message a seller directly from a listing page. This starts a private inquiry thread where you can ask questions, request more photos or a video walkthrough, or arrange a viewing — no phone number required upfront.

6. Do I Need an Account to Browse?

No — you can search, view listings, and read the Community forum without creating an account. You'll only be asked to opt-in when you want to message a seller, or set up alerts from that seller.

7. Property Alerts

Once signed in, save a search — e.g. "3-bedroom flats in Lekki under ₦50m" — and turn on alerts. You'll be notified whenever a new matching listing goes live.

8. Reading the Community Forum

Anyone can read the Community — real discussions from Nigerians at home and abroad about the property market, scam warnings, and advice. You'll need a free Community account to post, reply, or vote. It's worth searching there before you commit to any deal — someone may have already flagged the seller or the property.

9. Understanding Verification Badges

Blomset Properties has two separate badges, and it matters which one (or both) a listing has:

Seller KYC Verified
Means Blomset Properties has confirmed this person's government-issued ID and identity. It tells you who they are — it does not by itself confirm they legally own or have the right to sell the specific property listed.
Admin-Verified Property
Means our team has reviewed the specific listing itself. Where shown, this adds more confidence — but it is not a substitute for seeing the property yourself.
Important: A KYC badge confirms identity at the time of verification — it does not mean the account can never be compromised. Accounts can be hacked, hijacked, or accessed by someone other than the verified owner after the fact. Treat every badge as a helpful signal, not a guarantee, and follow the safety checklist below regardless of what badges a seller or listing has.

9. Before You Pay — Safety Checklist

This is the single most important section on this page. Follow it every time, no matter how trustworthy a seller seems.

See the property before you pay anything. In person is best. If you're abroad or can't travel, request a live video call or walkthrough recording of the actual property — not just photos, which can be old, staged, or taken from a different property entirely.
Confirm physically, or send someone you trust to confirm on your behalf. A trusted friend, family member, or independent agent visiting the property in person is one of the strongest protections you have.
Never send money before verification is complete — no deposit, no "reservation fee," no "agent fee." Legitimate sellers understand serious buyers verify first.
Keep communication on-platform for as long as possible, so there's a record if anything goes wrong.
This applies even to KYC-verified sellers. A verified badge lowers risk, it doesn't remove it — an account can be compromised after verification. The caution is the same either way; it's just extra important on unverified listings.

10. Red Flags to Watch For

  • Price is significantly below similar properties in the same area, with no clear reason.
  • Seller pressures you to pay quickly — "someone else is about to take it," artificial urgency, refusing to give you time to verify.
  • Seller refuses or repeatedly delays a video call or in-person viewing.
  • Seller asks you to pay into a personal account, a different name than the one on their profile, or outside Blomset Properties entirely.
  • Photos look inconsistent — different styles, watermarks from other sites, or details that don't match the stated location.
  • Seller avoids answering direct questions about title documents, ownership, or the exact address.
  • Any request for payment via untraceable methods (crypto to an unfamiliar wallet, gift cards, etc.).
If you notice any of these, pause, get the seller name and report to the Community, or even report the seller or property to admin by using the report seller or listing button on their profile page or listing page before proceeding.

11. Reporting a Scam or Suspicious Listing

Use the Report option on the listing or seller's profile, or post in the Community's Scam Watch category so other buyers are warned too. Our team reviews every report and takes action on confirmed cases, including removing listings and suspending accounts.

12. Our Disclaimer

Blomset Properties provides a marketplace connecting buyers and sellers — we verify identity through KYC and review listings where indicated, but we are not a party to any transaction between a buyer and seller, and we do not hold, escrow, or guarantee any payment made directly between users. If you send money to a seller without completing the verification steps above — including in-person or video confirmation of the property before payment — that transaction and any resulting loss falls outside Blomset Properties' responsibility, in line with the disclaimer in our Privacy Policy.

This isn't us trying to avoid helping you — it's exactly why this guide exists. Following the checklist above is the actual protection; the badges and platform are tools to help you verify faster, not a replacement for verifying at all.
