Second ‘Ghana Property Expo’ launched

The second ‘Ghana Property Expo’ has been launched with a call on Ghanaians to actively identify opportunities and invest in the real-estate sector.

The Property Expo, organised by Smart Investors Group in Accra and scheduled from July 30 - 31, 2010, is under the theme “Spreading Home Ownership”.

The event is aimed at providing opportunities for prospective property owners to meet and assess players in the real-estate industry.

It will also provide participants with education, a comprehensive information base on the country’s property opportunities, as well as a portfolio of property investment opportunities, financing and aftercare services.

Kojo Biney, Chief Executive Officer of Smart Investors Group, launching the event in Accra explained that property should be seen as a money-making tool in the country.

“We want to groom people to patronise the products of real-estate developers and help to make the industry very vibrant.

“Property is an investment for the future. There is going to be a lot of competition in the industry, and therefore we should make our products attractive to the investing public.”

“The public needs continuous education so that they can see the need to own houses. We need to prompt people into action. We have got to prompt people to invest in properties.” Biney said.

He urged players in the real-estate industry to reach out to the public and advise them to understand the need to direct their investment into acquisition of properties.

As part of the exhibition, participants will attend seminars on how to venture into home financing, make profit from properties, as well as buying your first property and how to build a strong property portfolio.
