One 5% agency fee, paid once. Your rent is held by HomexGrid until you and your landlord both confirm the move-in.
A housing agency for Nigeria
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.
This month
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
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.
Every property is inspected by a HomexGrid field agent before it goes live — an employee, not a contractor or a caretaker.
Rent is held by HomexGrid between signing and move-in. It reaches the landlord only when both parties confirm possession changed hands.
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.
Generated on approval and signed by both parties. The second signature is what moves the money into escrow.
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.
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
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.

Property verification is free. Your rent is earned once you and the tenant both confirm the move-in.
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
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
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
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.

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