Sanmi Adegoke defies stereotypical norms

Since the incorporation of Rehoboth Property International (RPI), Sanmi Adegoke, CEO of RPI continues to unapologetically break down stereotypical barriers, whilst paving way for communities who in times past would typically not have had the access to the knowledge or finances to get onto the property ladder.

As a previous employee of McDonalds, Adegoke demonstrates that where you start out in your career should not be a preventative factor when it comes to owning and investing in real estate.

Winning two key industry property awards within the space of twelve months, CEO of Rehoboth Property International (RPI), Adegoke continues to live up to his ‘legacy trailblazer’ reputation, after being awarded ‘Property Developer of the Year’ at the prestigious Property Investor Awards 10th year anniversary event, which took place in Mayfair recently at the Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square, London.

Despite being in the middle of a global economic downturn, the highly coveted award marked the end of another successful year for the property entrepreneur, who saw a 100 percent increase in his workforce this year.

The award-winning deal consisted of the transformation and repurposing of a derelict former police station into the first coworking private office and community legacy hub in Dartford.

“Winning the award is more than just a personal achievement, the win represents a win for all those who come from minority backgrounds and unconventional career paths who currently aspire to one day transform their lives through property ownership. The key is never to focus on your current circumstances, from growing up in Lagos, and working in McDonalds, I always reminded myself – If you believe in yourself, you can succeed. All things are possible,” Adegoke said.

Specialising in acquisition, investment, and development, RPI has to date has sourced and acquired more than £300,000,000 worth of properties.
