Introduction

Haqtri enters the Nigerian real estate space as a web-based marketplace and social hub designed to transform how people discover, evaluate, and purchase property. By blending creator-driven content with secure transaction tools, the platform addresses long-standing trust gaps in the traditional property buying process.

What Happened

The idea for Haqtri emerged after founder Miracle Osondu’s uncle fell victim to real estate fraud during a stressful property search. The experience revealed two critical shortcomings: verifying the people behind a transaction and protecting funds before a deal is confirmed. Haqtri was built to close those gaps.

Why This Matters

Traditional property searches in Nigeria often involve multiple agents, physical visits, and limited transparency, leaving buyers vulnerable to misrepresentation and financial risk. Haqtri introduces a social layer where creators, agents, and developers share home tours, 3D models, and live Q&A sessions, allowing users to engage deeply with listings before committing. Virtual walkthroughs and 360-degree panoramas reduce the need for immediate in-person visits, while community interaction builds familiarity with suppliers, artisans, and agents.

  • Social property feed: Creators and agents post home tours, technical breakdowns, and interior transformations, enabling users to explore properties through rich multimedia.
  • Live Q&A sessions: Viewers can ask questions in real time and receive answers, replacing the rush of physical property visits.
  • 3D and 360-degree models: Sellers upload spatial representations that let users virtually walk through a home from any browser.
  • Identity-verified sellers: Only sellers with valid ID—such as NIN, passport, driver’s licence, voter’s card, or CAC business documents—can list on the marketplace.
  • Golden Trusted Seller Badge: Active sellers with positive track records earn an optional badge after additional Haqtri review.
  • Escrow-backed checkout: Funds held via Flutterwave are released only when the buyer approves delivery or a agreed milestone is met, adding a layer of financial protection.

Key Takeaways

Haqtri combines social engagement, virtual property exploration, and escrow-protected transactions to make Nigerian real estate more transparent and approachable. The platform is designed for artisans, agents, home design enthusiasts, and any buyer seeking a more interactive, trustworthy path to property ownership.

Conclusion

By uniting social interaction, virtual inspections, and protected payments, Haqtri aims to redefine the property discovery experience in Nigeria. Whether you're a creator showcasing craftsmanship, an agent walking clients through a new development, or a buyer looking for a safer way to shop for homes, the platform offers a dedicated space to connect, explore, and transact with confidence.
