Introduction: The Silent Profit Killer in Nigerian Property Management
Did you know that 84% of Nigerian property managers still manage their portfolios using spreadsheets, paper records, and WhatsApp messages? According to a 2024 Nigerian Real Estate Report, this outdated approach costs the average property manager ₦6.8 million annually in missed rent, operational inefficiencies, and tenant turnover.
But there’s good news: automation slashes these losses by 65% for early adopters. In this post, we’ll strictly explain how manual processes drain your revenue and how QaceHomes can help you reclaim it.
