Verification & Due Diligence Policy

Strict Standards from the Evergreen Brand Identity System • Section 04: Brand Promise

The Evergreen Standard for Using the Word “Verified”

“Do not call a property verified unless the internal process and evidence support that description. State what was checked, by whom, and when. Never promise returns, appreciation, title status, or availability without current evidence.”

1. What the “Verified” Badge Means

On Evergreen, the green “Verified” badge indicates that our compliance and field verification teams have conducted demonstrable checks against submitted records. Specifically, a verified listing confirms:

Physical Site ExistenceThe physical parcel, building, or land location exists at the documented GPS coordinates and access road.
Lister Identity & AuthorityThe developer, agency, or individual agent has completed government-issued KYC verification and holds authority to market the property.
Documentation ReviewSubmitted copies of title deeds (C of O, Deed of Assignment, Gazette, or Registered Survey) have been logged and checked against known standards.
Transparent Price & TermsNo hidden broker fees or unlisted statutory charges; prices are published in clear Nigerian Naira (₦).

2. What the “Verified” Badge Does NOT Mean

Strict Legal Limitations
  • It does not mean the property is “risk-free”. Real estate investments carry inherent legal, market, and environmental considerations.
  • It does not eliminate the necessity of independent legal searches at the Ministry of Lands or Land Registry by your personal lawyer.
  • It is not an insurance policy, title guarantee, or promise of future capital appreciation.

3. Three-Tier Documentation Classification

To eliminate ambiguity, all property details are categorized into three distinct states:

  1. Independently Verified by Evergreen: Records that our internal legal and inspection teams have reviewed with primary documents in hand.
  2. Declared by Owner / Developer: Details (such as planned amenities, structural completions, or developmental timelines) stated by the developer but pending final completion.
  3. Awaiting Confirmation: Any document or statutory consent currently in progress with government land bureaus.

4. Mandatory Recommendation for Buyers & Investors

Standard Copy (Brand Guideline Section 10):
“Evergreen facilitates property access and supports due diligence. Have documents checked by your own lawyer and surveyor before any payment.”
