Meet 25-Year-Old Ghanaian Who Established A Real Estate Company That Makes It Easy For People To Rent In Ghana
25-year-old Bill Cobbinah is blazing the trail for other young ones to follow by establishing a real estate company that helps Ghanaians to rent easily.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, Bill says he took on the heavy burden of solving Ghana’s accommodation issues because of the urgency of the rent problem.
The young man spoke about his experiences starting a company and how the journey has been like for him.
A young Ghanaian man, Bill Cobbinah, spoke to YEN.com.gh about how he started a real estate company called “Edanra” that helps people rent easily in a country with a housing deficit of about 2 million units.
Bill was inspired to take action after his National Service program when he heard stories of how people had suffered at the hands of evil people posing as real estate agents to scam unsuspecting victims.
So Bill started Edanra with two other co-founders, Alfred Asare Amoah and Jerome Cordjotse.
How The Journey Has Been Like According to Bill, the journey has been both positive and instructional.
He explains that Edanra started as a free platform that facilitated the process of finding decent accommodation in Ghana at a commission.
Now, the company is transitioning from a third-party free classified platform to a financial service that helps tenants pay monthly rent.
Most landlords in Ghana charge a rent advance of one or two years, which makes it difficult for people to afford a decent place to live. Therefore, monthly payment of rent will be a huge breakthrough in Ghana’s rental sector.
How Resources Were Mobilized To Launch Edanra
Bill Cobbinah told YEN.com.gh that he was lucky to have friends and family that supported his vision, seeing that some of them have been victims of accommodation fraud. He said:
