Open Your Doors to the World – Even If They’re Miles Away
1. Think Beyond Borders, Rent Smarter 🌍
You’ve got a great rental property. Clean, secure, in a great location.
But here’s the real game-changer: Your ideal tenant may not live in your city… or even your country.
With more Nigerians abroad investing back home and more foreigners moving in for business, school, or NGO work, the demand for trusted, ready-to-move-in rentals is growing — especially among remote and international tenants.
But how do you attract them if they can’t just show up for a viewing?
In this blog, we’ll show you exactly how to market your rental property on Neaarme.com and beyond to appeal to diaspora clients, international tenants, and digital nomads looking to live (or invest) in Nigeria.
2. What International Tenants Want
🌟 1. Understand What International Tenants Want
Foreign-based tenants or expats are looking for:
- Trust & transparency
- Move-in ready options
- Good amenities (power, water, security)
- Accessibility to transport, business hubs, or schools
- Clear documentation and easy communication
🎯 Your job is to highlight these elements clearly and confidently in your listing.
📝 2. Write a Listing That Speaks to Them
Use your Neaarme.com listing to speak their language:
✅ Include:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Furnishing status (furnished, semi, unfurnished)
- Security features (fence, CCTV, gated compound)
- 24/7 power? Solar? Inverter? Borehole?
- Nearby landmarks: “10 mins to Shoprite,” “Close to GRA,” etc.
🧠 Pro tip: Use international keywords like “expat-friendly,” “short-let,” “investment rental,” or “perfect for remote workers.”
🎥 3. Use Videos and Virtual Tours to Build Confidence
If they can’t visit in person, give them the next best thing.
🎥 Record a clean video walkthrough of:
- Entrance and compound
- Living room
- Kitchen (sink, cabinets, etc.)
- Bedrooms and bathroom
- Neighborhood street (optional)
Upload the video to YouTube or WhatsApp, then embed the link in your Neaarme listing.
📸 Seeing is trusting. Videos give them peace of mind.
📸 4. Use High-Quality Photos (Especially Furnished Spaces)
Take clear, bright photos showing:
- Each room from multiple angles
- Furniture and appliances (TV, fridge, bed, couch, etc.)
- Views from balcony or windows
- Parking space or security gate
📲 Great visuals increase clicks and messages instantly.
💬 5. Offer Flexible and Remote-Friendly Communication
Diaspora tenants may live in:
- The UK 🇬🇧
- Canada 🇨🇦
- UAE 🇦🇪
- The US 🇺🇸
So make sure you:
- Include WhatsApp contact
- Respond quickly to DMs
- Offer video calls or virtual inspections
- Provide email for longer discussions
💡 Flexibility and responsiveness are key to winning trust.
🧾 6. Be Clear About Documents, Terms, and Payment Options
International tenants want:
- Clear lease terms (e.g., 1-year, 6-months)
- Advance payment expectations
- Service charges (if any)
- Payment options (bank transfer, agents, relatives)
Transparency reduces fear and helps them move forward confidently.
🏡 7. Use Platforms Diaspora Buyers Trust – Like Neaarme.com
