Frequently Asked Questions About Cabans

Cabans is Nigeria's property listing platform — a place where landlords, estate agents, and developers can advertise properties for sale, for rent, short lets, off-plan projects, and commercial spaces. Buyers and tenants search Cabans daily to find their next home or investment across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and beyond.
Yes. Creating a property listing on Cabans is completely free. There are no upfront fees, no subscription costs, and no commission charged when your property sells or rents. You can list as many properties as you like and start receiving enquiries from day one at no cost.
Cabans is open to individual landlords and home sellers, registered estate agents and property managers, property developers (for off-plan and new builds), and commercial property owners. Whether you have a single property or an entire portfolio, Cabans has the tools to help you reach the right audience.
You can list virtually any type of property: houses and flats for sale or rent, short-let apartments and serviced residences, land and plots, off-plan and new development projects, and commercial properties such as offices, retail spaces, and warehouses. Cabans covers all residential and commercial property categories.
Most listings are reviewed and go live within a few minutes of submission. Once approved, your property appears in search results for buyers and tenants immediately. Make sure your listing includes clear photos, an accurate description, and a correct price to speed up the review process.
Buyers and tenants search Cabans by location (city, neighbourhood, or via an interactive map), property type, number of bedrooms, price range, and other filters. Your listing appears in relevant search results, category pages, and — if boosted — in featured positions, giving it maximum exposure to active searchers.
All enquiries from interested buyers and tenants come directly to your Cabans dashboard. You can read messages, reply, schedule viewings, and track the status of each enquiry in one place. You'll also receive email and in-app notifications so you never miss a potential lead.
Yes. You can update your listing at any time — change the price, add new photos, edit the description, mark it as sold or rented, or remove it entirely. Your dashboard gives you full control over all your active listings.
You can upload high-resolution photos, embed video tours, include virtual 360° tours, and attach floor plans. Listings with multiple professional photos receive significantly more views and enquiries, so we recommend adding as many quality images as possible.
Cabans covers properties across all states and major cities in Nigeria, with particularly strong coverage in Lagos (Lekki, VI, Ikoyi, Ikeja, Surulere), Abuja (Maitama, Asokoro, Gwarinpa, Wuse), Port Harcourt, Enugu, Ibadan, Kano, and more. If you have a property anywhere in Nigeria, you can list it on Cabans.
No. Cabans does not charge sellers, landlords, or agents any commission on completed sales or rental agreements. Our platform operates on a free-listing model, so you keep 100% of your sale or rental income. Optional paid features such as featured listings and premium placements are available to boost visibility, but are never required.
Yes. Cabans has a dedicated short-let category for furnished apartments, serviced residences, and holiday rentals. You can set per-night, per-week, or per-month pricing, define availability calendars, and receive direct bookings from guests looking for short-term accommodation in Nigerian cities.
Absolutely. Property developers can create detailed project pages for off-plan and new-build developments, showcasing architectural renders, site plans, unit types, pricing, payment plans, and completion timelines. Cabans gives developments strong visibility among buyers actively looking for investment opportunities and off-plan homes.
To protect buyers and tenants, Cabans verifies property listings and agent profiles. You may be asked to submit proof of ownership or agency authorisation for the property. Verified listings display a trust badge, which increases buyer confidence and typically results in more enquiries. The verification process is straightforward and completed through your dashboard.
The key factors are: (1) upload at least 8 clear, well-lit photos; (2) write an honest, detailed property description including nearby landmarks and amenities; (3) set a competitive, market-accurate price; (4) keep your contact details and availability up to date; and (5) consider a featured or boosted listing for priority placement in search results. Listings with complete information consistently outperform incomplete ones.
