•The Story Of The Real Estate Marketing Company @ 10
PWAN Group is 10. That is big news rocking the real estate sector right now. And there has been a series of celebrations in the last few days to mark the 10th anniversary.
Property World Africa Network (PWAN), was set up 10 years ago by Mrs. Jayne Onwumere, an energetic woman who had seen the future of real estate in Nigeria ahead of others. Dr. Jayne Onwumere, set it up in 2012 to provide homes, not only for Nigerians but for the entire African Continent. PWAN Homes Limited is a property marketing and information company located in Lekki, Lagos. It’s a company that has been working assiduously to make the homeownership dream a reality for all.
The company is in many areas of the real estate business, one of it is real estate management. Their professional departments are manned by qualified and experienced real estate personnel, estate surveyors and valuers, supported by equally experienced and efficient administrative and technical staff, and as a team, they render the best of services to their clients. This is only achieved through teamwork. So, this department guides advises and analyses the property for you, creating a plan projecting long term appreciation and a positive cash flow. And when the subscriber is ready to sell, this team of consultants will find a qualified investor or buyer to buy the property. The core values of the company are; accountability, responsibility, integrity, service, and excellence.
In the last few years, the company has created over 15 subsidiaries namely: PWAN Plus, PWAN Legend, PWAN Pro, PWAN Royals, PWAN Haven, PWAN Pro, PWAN Premium, PWAN Prime, PWAN Edge, PWAN Heritage, PWAN Stars, PWAN Selection, PWAN Lekki, PWAN Homes etc. These subsidiaries are a force to reckon with in the real estate sector. They are very visible in every nook and crannies of the state.
Some of the estates of PWAN Homes include: Destiny Gardens Phase 1, Dominion Garden City, Oakword Gardens Phase 3, Destiny Gardens Phase 2, Hectares of Diamond Phase 2, Eden Garden Estate, Oceanview Gardens & Parks, Orange Pavilion Estate, Atlantic Bay Estate, Olive Park Estate Phase 1, Dominion Gardens. In Imo State, they have Tehilla Gardens Phase 2, Tehilla Gardens AVU Oforola. They also have in Ogun, Anambra, Delta and Rivers State.
PWAN Homes has the most diverse group of consultants and value the benefits this brings. The company respects the human rights of its employees and strive to provide them with safe working conditions. PWAN homes promote and develop customer satisfaction through their consultants.
Leading the team is Dr. Jayne Obioma Onwumere, the Group Managing Director of The PWAN GROUP. She leads a team of over 15 Managing Directors with 200 direct Staff spread across over 15 Affiliate Companies that make up the PWAN Group and over 30 thousand Independent Real Estate Professionals generally called consultants. The Head Quarter of the PWAN Group is in Ajah, Lekki Lagos.
At a time when Nigeria’s employment market was dwindling and some families were losing their homes due to a lack of funds to pay rent, Jayne and her darling husband Augustine Onwumere received a God-given vision to make the homeownership dream a reality for as many people as possible. This dream birthed a Real Estate Network Marketing Company in March 2012 with the Pioneer Company known as PWAN HOMES.
PWAN HOMES is an acronym for Property World Africa Network Home Ownership Made Easy Scheme. PWAN pioneered the first Real Estate Network Marketing Business in Nigeria, Africa and in the World (to the best of our knowledge) providing opportunities for hundreds of thousands of Nigerians to earn consistent Income as Real Estate Entrepreneurs. In the history of Nigeria, we have not experienced more people in Real Estate than we have now and it is all due to this novel idea birthed by this couple even at a time when they were homeless. With focus, determination and hard work, the PWAN Team today (comprising of Staffs, Partners and Consultants) are engaging with both public and private sectors, individuals and Nigerians in the diaspora to bring massive change in the life of people. This has strengthened synergies and yielded positive outcomes for the sector.
Three years into its operation, always a pioneer, PWAN HOMES began to open other companies in partnership with Independent Consultants which today forms the PWAN Group.
This is a move that has no precedent in the History of Business in Nigeria if not in the World. All the Companies are fully funded by PWAN Homes and fully equally owned. Also included in the Group is PHPAC, the Company charged with the responsibility of raising and equipping Independent Real Estate Professionals aka Consultants.
In the last few years, PHPAC has trained thousands and thousands of people in Network Marketing in General, Real Estate Network Marketing in particular, Entrepreneurship, Management, Leadership etc. With the startup of The PWAN Academy in 2017, PWAN has become the Go To place for Real Estate Business Owners to source workers for their companies.
In 2017, Mama Africa as Mrs. Onwumere is fondly called single-handedly empowered 50 women to start up small business ventures or to improve existing ones with Fifty Thousand Naira each through her Empowerment for all Women Programme. This she intends to do every year for as long as the Lord enables her to do so. She has organised several outreaches to orphanages with a lot of provisions and monetary gifts.
Together with her husband, she pays school fees for so many children, pays house rents for many and keeps a completely Open Door policy that has made many references to her as Mummy, Mama Africa etc. The work done by PWAN in just 10 years has inspired so many people to venture not just into the real estate business by using the PWAN Model but into other businesses. People now understand you do not necessarily need money to venture, you need faith, you need focus and you need tenacity. And mostly, you need to have a love for people and a desire to empower people to become the best they can be.
She was conferred with an Honorary Doctorate Degree by the European-American University, Commonwealth of Dominica, following her contributions to making the homeownership dream a reality for as many people as possible. Dr. Jayne Obioma Onwumere, a Lifelong Learner, an Alumnus of Lagos Business School also attended the Owner President Management Programme at the Prestigious Harvard University, Boston Massachusetts, USA. She is married to her Best Friend, a man she believes God used to birth relevance in her life and they are blessed with three lovely children.
Dr. Augustine Ozioma Onwumere is the Chairman of Co-Founder of the PWAN GROUP. He sits as the Chairman of the PWAN Group which is the largest and widest Real Estate Network in Nigeria with Estates and Offices spread across several states of the federation…Marc Austine as he is generally called was born to a wealthy family in Lagos, Nigeria and due to his relentless nature, his siblings decided to tread the path of sales at the early age of eight. He was encouraged by his Father’s quest and legacy for a successful lifestyle through hard work and faith in God.
He is a well-loved Lagos-based real estate and human empowerment strategist with a special focus in Sales and Development. He is an enthusiastic and dedicated leader with both significant and practical experience in a working environment. He is quick in grasping new ideas and concepts and very innovative to proffer realistic solutions to problems. He has demonstrated the highest levels of motivation and has a strong ability to perform effectively even within a highly pressurized working environment.
Augustine is a dynamic leader, consistently cited for their unbridled passion for work. His energy and enthusiasm as a leader who has broken all barriers to getting to the peak cannot be quantified. He is a force to be reckoned with.
His focal business remains Real Estate Investment and Development; he believes that Nigeria can become better if Entrepreneurship remains the pursuit of every individual. Hence, his drive to reach out to millions of Nigerians through a live Empowerment programme on 93.7 Inspiration F.M Radio broadcast known as “Mr. Empowerment”. He runs this programme weekly on-air where he talks about empowerment, and no doubt inspired a lot of Nigerian youths who are now real estate consultants with the move to make the Homeownership dream a reality for all. His pro-activeness and drive for success have established PWAN GROUP on a foundation of reliable, resourceful and excellent organization for her clientele.
He has received honorary awards from various institutions and led the Group to receive various awards such as the African Quality Achievement Award, Global Quality Excellence Award and so on.
He is never tired of investing in New Dreams, creating jobs for over 150 Young Nigerians excluding the over 30 thousand Independent Real Estate Professionals generally called Consultants working with PWAN; his vision is stemmed around personnel development and target achievements.
PWAN HOMES Limited, being the pioneer company, began to open other Companies in partnership with Independent Consultants which today forms the PWAN Group.
He is married to Jayne Obioma Onwumere; the woman he fondly refers to as the brain behind the business that has placed him
