HomexGrid

A housing agency for Nigeria

Rent smarter. Move with security.

HomexGrid is a housing agency that connects tenants and landlords directly, with no chain of agents in between. Every home is inspected in person, and the rent is held in escrow until landlord and tenant both confirm the move-in.

Inspected in person

A HomexGrid field agent visits every property and photographs it through our own app. Photos cannot be uploaded from a camera roll.

Rent held in escrow

Between signing and moving in, the money is ours to hold, not the landlord’s to spend.

Released only on dual confirmation

Both tenant and landlord must confirm independently. There is no timer that releases funds if one of them stays silent.

What you get

Built around the things that actually go wrong.

Nigeria's rental market runs on advance payments to people you have not met, for properties you have seen in photographs. Each of these exists because of a specific way that fails.

Verified listings

Every property is inspected by a HomexGrid field agent before it goes live — an employee, not a contractor or a caretaker.

Escrow protection

Rent is held by HomexGrid between signing and move-in. It reaches the landlord only when both parties confirm possession changed hands.

Automated monthly top-up

Set an amount that suits you and it builds toward next year’s rent automatically, so renewal is never a lump sum you have to find in one month.

Digital lease

Generated on approval and signed by both parties. The second signature is what moves the money into escrow.

Portable rental history

System-generated and never self-editable. Years of clean payment history become something a tenant can show a new landlord — which the informal market cannot offer.

Multiple reservations

Hold a home and a shop at the same time. Each is checked against the balance left after the others, and there is no per-tenant limit.

Two sides

One transaction, two people who need different things from it.

See the place. Then pay for it.

Every listing has been stood inside by an agent who photographed it through our app. When you reserve, your money is held by HomexGrid — not sent to a landlord you have never met — and it is paid only once you have confirmed you have the keys.

For tenants
  • Deal with the landlord directly, with no chain of agents in between
  • Filter to what your wallet covers today
  • Hold more than one reservation at a time
  • One 5% agency fee, paid once — returned in full if the reservation does not go ahead

The waitlist

126 people are already waiting for HomexGrid.

We are not open yet. Tenants and landlords join separately, so pick your side. It takes a minute, and it costs nothing.

Two separate lists: joining one does not put you on the other. No account is created, and we only use your details to tell you when we open.

On your phone

Confirm your move-in standing in the doorway.

Some things belong on a phone. Verifying your identity, checking whether a home is within your wallet, approving a reservation while you are out — and confirming a move-in at the moment the keys actually change hands.

The tenant and landlord apps are in build. We will link them here when they are actually downloadable, not before.

In their words

We have not launched yet.

When tenants and landlords have used HomexGrid, their words will go here — theirs, attributed, and with their permission.

We would rather show you an empty space than someone we invented.

Pricing

One agency fee, paid once.

Agency fees of 10% or more are common; HomexGrid charges 5%.

Tenants

5%

Agency fee on the annual rent, paid once to HomexGrid. Non-refundable once you have packed in; returned in full if the reservation is declined or cancelled.

Landlords

Free

Property verification, for every property. The agency fee is paid by the tenant and is never deducted from your rent.

A fee change applies to new transactions only. Anything already held in escrow keeps the rate that applied when it was created.

Questions

The ones that matter.

Rent should not require trusting a stranger with a year of your money.

It does today, everywhere in this market. HomexGrid is what it looks like when it does not have to.
