Digitalization is gradually taking on every aspect of human life in Africa. It helps address several issues and helps reduce the time necessary to complete processes that would take days, months, or years. In Togo, a proptech wants to do the same in the real estate industry.  

Togo Home is a digital platform launched by the Togolese eponymous startup in January 2022 by Edmond Joseph Messan (photo). It allows users to easily find real estate properties meeting their desired characteristics.  

“With digitalization taking on every aspect of human life, we estimate that it would be useful to develop a platform allowing every trained real estate agent licensed by the state to submit updated offers. That way, our compatriot will only have to input the characteristics of the property they need, check the available properties and their prices, discuss the terms then visit the chosen property before concluding the deal,” Edmond says. 

The platform has a mobile app, available on AppStore and PlayStore. It lists all the real estate properties available for sale or rent with all the information needed. Users can filter those properties depending on what they intend to do (rent or buy), where they want it, and the type of property they need. Once a user clicks on a listed property, more pictures are shown with a phone number to contact to proceed further. 

Let’s note that to access all of Togo Home’s features, users need to register by filling in the required information (name, email address, and phone number). The platform claims to be the leading real estate search engine (note: Google de l’immobilier in French). To be the first actor informed of any real estate property available in the country, it signed a partnership agreement with the Togolese association of real estate agents.
