Gone are the days when land sellers operated in dingy single-room offices stuck up winding spiral stairs with little to show in the name of style. Today, some firms dealing in land are set up in stylish offices that would rival many blue chip companies with fittings to announce to the world, and mostly clients, that “you can trust us”.
Growing up, the image I had of people dealing in land was a bunch of wazee in oversize coats and tattered hats seated under an acacia tree discussing transactions. If you wanted to know who was selling land in my hometown, you had to talk to a certain bunch of men who met regularly under a tree strategically located in the town.
