Euromoney recognizes Northcourt for outstanding real estate advisory, consultancy

For its outstanding advisory and consultancy services in real estate, Northcourt has won the Euromoney Real Estate 2016 Award as the advisor and consultant of the year.

A real estate investment services company t focused on real estate advisory, research, development, brokerage and facility management with operations in Lagos and Abuja,  Northcourt also emerged the best property valuation company in Nigeria and came in second place winner for real estate research and agency/letting.

Euromoney is the world’s leading organiser of conferences for cross-border investment and capital markets for portfolio and direct investors, financial intermediaries, corporations, governments, banks and financial institutions.

To have been so recognized by this high profile rating body is no mean achievement for Northcourt and its authorities. “This is very much needed encouragement for us. The price of professionalism and excellence sometimes seems too expensive in this region and it often appears like no one notices or appreciates the difference we are seeking to make, said highly elated Tayo Odunsi, Northcourt’s  CEO and Director, Real Estate Advisory.

Continuing, he said, “we utterly believe the property market in Nigeria and West Africa should be less opaque and better structured so we come to work every day with a drive to play a big role in that grand vision. Coming in second place last year was a good boost for us, but we really didn’t expect to come first the very next year. We are absolutely excited and fired up to continue and improve on the good work”.

In the African rankings of the same awards, Northcourt took second place for both overall best real estate advisor and consultant as well as for real estate research. This, to Odunsi,  is a steady improvement for the company who came in second place in 2015 for the overall best real estate advisor and consultant in Nigeria and seventh place in Africa.

He revealed that, for the past two years, Northcourt has dedicated meaningful resources to producing Nigeria real estate outlook and half-year reports which have significantly aided in reducing the opacity of the Nigerian real estate market as attested to by Nigeria’s recent improvements in the global real estate transparent index.

The young but dynamic company is led by three environmental science professionals who have distinguished themselves with professionalism and dedication. Odunsi leads the team as the CEO and Director, Real Estate Advisory. Osagie Alfred is the Director, Real Estate Services while Debo Ibironke is Head, Construction Management.
