Real estate & development
Land is verified before it is bought.
Real estate remains the most sought-after investment in Côte d'Ivoire — and the riskiest when taken lightly. Land title, possession certificate, surveying, servitudes, disputes: the slightest anomaly can lock up an investment for years. Our first job is to spare you that.
BABO INVESTMENT steps in at every stage: search and selection of properties, legal and technical checks, price negotiation, transfer formalities, then rental management or resale support. We work across Abidjan — Plateau, Cocody, Riviera, Marcory, Zone 3, Bingerville — as well as emerging areas of Greater Abidjan and the coastline.
For the diaspora, we add an essential layer: distance. You are abroad, we are on the ground. Checks, photographs, counter-surveys, site follow-up and monthly reporting: you decide with full knowledge, without travelling.
