Our Story
In the heart of Lagos, where dreams are as vibrant as the city itself, Jarus Homes emerged as a
testament to resilience, ambition, and the unwavering belief in the possibility of homeownership
for all. Our story begins in 2008 when our CEO, Jarus, arrived in Lagos armed with nothing but a
bag of dreams after completing his NYSC.
By 2013, at the age of 31, Jarus became a proud homeowner in his hometown. Jarus continued to
break barriers, achieving another milestone in 2015—this time as a homeowner in the bustling
heart of Lagos, all this achieved while working a 9-5 job.
However, Jarus wasn't content to bask in his personal success alone. He observed a poignant
truth—many hardworking young individuals, despite their dedication and decent earnings, were
still unable to grasp the key to homeownership. Fueled by passion for positive change, Jarus
embarked on a new mission: to make affordable homeownership a reality for every ambitious
individual striving for success.
Thus, Jarus Homes and Investments Limited was born.
At Jarus Homes, we are more than just a real estate company; we are architects of dreams and
builders of brighter tomorrows. Our journey, from a single bag in 2008 to becoming a beacon of
hope for aspiring homeowners, has shaped our essence. We understand the challenges, the
aspirations, and the burning desire for a place to call one's own.
Our commitment is simple yet profound: to redefine the landscape of real estate by crafting
contemporary, affordable homes that echo the spirit of success.
Through innovation, transparency,
and a deep understanding of the needs of hardworking individuals, we are dedicated to making
homeownership not just a dream but a tangible reality.
Join us at Jarus Homes as we build more than houses; we build futures. Let us be your partner in
the journey to transform dreams into addresses, one affordable home at a time.
