BRG Summit Highlights Real Estate Growth, Market Opportunities

Billionaire Realtors Group (BRG) recently hosted its Sales and Growth Summit, designed to give entrepreneurs practical tools for boosting efficiency, profitability, sales and long‑term growth.

The summit, titled “Closing Deals, Building Networks, Creating Wealth,” drew more than 1,000 young leaders, entrepreneurs, stakeholders and professionals from across the country to network and discuss opportunities in Nigeria’s real‑estate sector.

Speakers emphasized that growth and sales can be intentionally driven through robust systems, marketing frameworks, follow‑up plans and advertising strategies, including social media and educational content to generate predictable income.

BRG President Dr. Emmanuel Abikoye noted that the real‑estate market has evolved quickly because of shifting buyer behaviour, investor expectations and heightened competition. He said that knowledge, structure, visibility, trust and consistency are essential for sustaining growth.

“At BRG, we strongly believe that the future belongs to professionals who are willing to evolve, learn, adapt and position ahead of the market. Because while some people see challenges in this economy, we in BRG see opportunities,” he said.

In his keynote, Dr. Tony Aspire Kolawole, Chairman of the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN) Lagos State chapter, co‑founder of BRG and Group CEO of Vista Holdings, highlighted the importance of relationship‑building and ongoing training.

“Everyone cannot become a sales expert at once; they have to learn it. The real difference isn’t the market but what happens inside the realtor. It’s the same market, same property, same prices; the difference is always the realtor,” Kolawole said.

BRG’s Head of Due Diligence, Matthew Israel, urged operators to use product insights and verified data to position themselves strategically in a market full of possibilities.

CEO of Ltech and Luxpron, Omowunmi Akinifesi, highlighted the role of personal identity in marketing, using case studies to show how a strong personal brand builds trust and repeat business.

“While you’re building your personal brand, you must wake up and keep reinventing yourself. You are your number one asset; you’re not just selling properties, you’re selling perception,” Akinifesi added.

Furthering the discussion on network expansion, Dr. Adeyemi Adeniyi, Chairman of REDAN Ogun State chapter and CEO of Deal Clinchers Homes Ltd, urged realtors to cultivate high‑value relationships through social clubs, professional associations and digital content creation to unlock premium opportunities.

“High‑value relationships create high‑value transactions, because growth in this industry is built on visibility, trust and influence. You also have to post valuable content on social media to be more visible and gain influence,” he remarked.

The event also attracted key industry figures and executives, including Abiodun Sodiq Kosoko, CEO of Eystone Development; Adeola Adewale, CEO of Landvest; and Sarunmi Kolawole, Managing Director of Western Giant Homes.

Other BRG principal officers present were Pastor Geraldine Odia, Director of Operations; Dr. Laide Okubena, Head of Recruitment; Lawrence Agada, Welfare Officer; and Albert Okpa Edim, Head of Coordinators.
