Today we’d like to introduce you to Festus Akamo.

Hi Festus, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My name is Festus Akamo, and I am from Lagos, Nigeria. When I was much younger, I was passionate about helping people to rent and secure comfortable shelters where they could put up and plan their daily activities. Back then, It gives me joy, and I feel fulfilled helping hundred people solve their accommodation problems. After my graduation, I did couple of cooperate jobs, such as a sales representative/sales executive.  Bulk of my experiences come from administrative and facility management, where I was part of my company several building Projects. When these projects are completed, the same projects were handed over to my desks for maintenance and management purposes to ensure effective use of such Properties. As a goal and results-oriented person, I decided to explore my passion by picking up a career as Real Estate Broker. I love being part of the transaction that gives real value for money. At the same time, I enjoy seeing people secure a comfortable home of their own seamlessly. Moving forward as a real estate company, FESTAK HOME & PROPERTIES HUB, Our Vision is to contribute immensely towards befitting homes for all humanities. So what we do now as a company, is to bridge the gap between the prospective landlord(s) or home/accommodation seekers to come in contact with the owner(s) and developer (e) of smart contemporary buildings at affordable price deals.

Alright, let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome?
It has been a challenging journey. Anyone who wants to succeed must have the resilience to face the inevitable. We have learned to get up anyway and progress towards our dreams (our Mission and Vision). We are building capacity; Personal Development to mitigate some of our challenges. We are also happy that everyone we have met along the journey has significantly impacted our business (FESTAK HOMES & PROPERTIES HUB). The challenges are many in the business. One of our major challenges is capital (Money). We need capital to check and balance our dependency on building owner(s) and developer(s). If we have access to capital, we will grow from being a broker to partnership so as to be able to influence decision-making and make the prices of Houses more affordable to our customers.
