Facility management for property owners, wherever you live
Verified, transparent property management for owners who can't be there in person.
Dated photos of every job, itemized and benchmarked costs, and one flat monthly fee — so you always know what was done to your property and what it cost, wherever you are.
Who DFM is for
Built for property owners who can't be on-site — whichever of these sounds like you, the same verified record-keeping applies.
Diaspora landlords
You live in a different country from your property — the US, the UK, India, anywhere — and can't drop by to check on it. You need proof of work, not a phone call promising it's handled.
Long-term-let owners
Tenanted residential property that needs ongoing upkeep — repairs, inspections, and a running record you can check anytime.
Short-term-rental hosts
Airbnb-style property that needs turnover checklists between guests, and optionally a local co-host to handle day-to-day guest logistics.
The problem with managing property from a distance
You can't verify the work
A caretaker says the job is done. There's no photo, no receipt, and no way to check from abroad.
Costs get inflated
Repair quotes with no breakdown and no benchmark — no way to tell what's a fair price and what's padded.
You're out of the loop
No updates until something's already gone wrong, and no record of what's been done over time.
How DFM makes it verifiable
Dated photos of every job
Before-and-after photos, timestamped and tied to the specific work order — not just a text message saying "done."
Itemized, benchmarked costs
Every repair broken down into labor and materials, so you see exactly what you're paying for and why.
One flat management fee
A flat monthly fee, not a cut of repair costs — so there's no incentive to make a job cost more than it should.
Starting in Ikeja, expanding from there
We're focused on Ikeja and its immediate surroundings today — Ikeja GRA, Opebi, Allen Avenue, Maryland, Ogba — so every job can be personally verified before we lean on remote reporting alone. If your property is elsewhere in Lagos or beyond, reach out anyway; we're expanding and want to know where the demand is.
How pricing works
No percentage-of-repair pricing — that's exactly the structure that creates an incentive to overcharge, and it's what we're positioned against.
Flat monthly management fee
₦40,000/month per property (may vary slightly by size or complexity) — one predictable amount, regardless of how much maintenance activity happens that month.
Repairs at verified actual cost
Repair and vendor costs are passed through at the actual invoiced cost — itemized, never marked up.
Small, disclosed coordination fee
A disclosed 10% coordination fee on vendor costs, capped at ₦20,000 per job, always shown as its own line next to the vendor's invoice.
Pilot pricing — may be adjusted slightly as we take on more properties. Reach out below and we'll confirm the exact figures for your property.
Host/co-host marketplace
If you host a short-term rental and want a co-host to help manage it, tell us about the property and we'll help match you with someone. DFM facilitates the introduction only — we're not a party to any agreement between you and a co-host. Full details in the Terms of Service.
After submitting, we'll show you a private link to check on your request — save it, as we don't currently email it to you automatically.
Tell us about your property
Send a few details and we'll get back to you — or message us directly on WhatsApp if that's easier.
