Finding a room or house in Ghana can often be a frustrating experience. Many agents demand upfront "viewing fees" that are non-refundable, even if the property shown does not meet the client's needs.
Once a suitable home is found, tenants are often charged an additional 10% commission, a burden that has long been a source of concern for renters.
For buyers, the challenge is quite different, as finding credible property listings is often difficult.
Property owners and developers also struggle to connect with genuine buyers and tenants in a fragmented market.
To bridge this gap, GhanaWeb, the country's leading online news portal, on Thursday, July 9, 2026, launched the GhanaWeb Real Estate Portal, a digital marketplace designed to simplify property discovery and empower stakeholders across the real estate value chain.
Speaking at the launch, the Chief Executive Officer of GhanaWeb, David Antwi, described the portal as more than just a property listings website.
He said the platform connects property owners, landlords, estate agents, and developers with thousands of potential buyers, renters, and investors in Ghana and across the diaspora.

Antwi stated that the platform is built on trust, which he described as GhanaWeb's greatest asset, and said it will continue to evolve with new features to enhance reliability, accessibility, and transparency.
"At GhanaWeb, we understand that our greatest asset is the trust we have built with our audience over many years. That trust is the foundation of this platform. As we continue to improve and expand our features, our commitment remains the same: to create a reliable, accessible, and technology-driven marketplace that empowers businesses, supports investment, and makes property discovery simpler for everyone," he said.
