Hi, I'm Loota. Tell me what you need, and I'll help you compare nearby offers, chat safely, and protect risky deals with escrow.
Protected deal rooms. I can hold the money on risky deals.
Built for local buying
I start from your area, and I ask before reusing a place I remember.
Three easy steps
How Loota works
Tell me what you need, I'll gather real offers from sellers near you, and when you pick one we move into a deal room — with your money protected if the deal is risky.
I can hold the money on risky deals
02
I ask sellers near you
I ping sellers around you who actually have what you need, collect their real prices and proof, and line the offers up so they're easy to compare.
Real offers, not listings
03
Pick one and deal safely
Chat with the seller you like in a deal room. If the deal feels risky, I hold your money until you confirm you got what you paid for.

No forms, no filters, no buttons. Type what you need the way you'd text anyone — I'll work out the item, budget, area, and how risky the deal is before I match sellers.

What comes back
Real offers, ranked before they reach you.
I don't dump a pile of seller chats on you. Every offer comes back with the facts you'd ask for anyway — price, condition, proof — and the most trustworthy sellers come first, not the loudest.
Services work the same way. Ask for a plumber or an AC technician, and you'll get call-out fees, arrival times, and ratings instead of condition and proof photos.

How I keep risky deals safe
Off-platform warningDispute-ready trail
Why Loota is safer
Most bad deals start with “just transfer it, I'll deliver.”
On Loota, trust isn't a promise — it's a record. I collect the proof before any money moves. You see it before you choose.
Before you meet any seller, I ask them for what you'd want to know anyway: price, condition, location, delivery timing, photos, receipt, or video proof. Paying for a boost never beats being trustworthy.
Every deal room keeps the messages, files, payments, and proof in one place. If something goes wrong, that record protects whoever was honest. A private bank transfer gives you none of that.
Proof before you connect
I check the seller's claims before you two start talking privately.
Money held till you confirm
On risky deals your payment waits with me, and only moves when you say you got it.
A record if things go wrong
The room keeps the whole timeline, so support can review what happened fairly.
Nearby search
Search near the places you already use.
Everything starts with where you are. Use your current location, pick a saved place, or just describe the area in your own words — and I'll always ask before reusing a place I remember.
What location should Loota use?
Use where you are right now
Share your location once and I'll search around it. I always ask before reusing a place I remember.
Or just describe the area
Say 'I'm in Ikeja now' or 'check around Yaba' and I'll search there. No maps to pinch and zoom.
Save the places you use a lot
Tell me 'this is my office' or 'that's my house', and next time you can just say 'near my office'.
For sellers
Good sellers win by being clear, fast, and honest.
I help you reply once with the facts buyers need, then I keep your deal record clean in case escrow or support ever gets involved.
Trust beats boost
You can pay for visibility, but proof, fast replies, and a clean history are what put you in front of buyers. Being honest pays here.
Reply once, look sharp
Send your price, condition, timing, and proof one time. I shape it into a clean offer serious buyers can compare.
Get paid safely
Escrow, payout requests, and deal records protect you when a buyer goes quiet or a dispute comes up.
FAQ
Before you start
Nope. Just message me on WhatsApp. When you pick a seller, I'll send you a secure link to your deal room — no app to download, nothing to sign up for.
No. Asking is free and the offers are free. You only pay a small protection fee if your deal uses escrow — and even that is split: you pay 40%, the seller pays 60%.
Products and services. A PS5, an iPhone, a generator, event chairs — or a plumber, an electrician, an AC technician. If a seller near you covers it, I can ask them.
I start from a location you approve, then ping sellers around it who match what you asked for. They send me real price, condition, and proof before you see anything.
Sellers answer a quick YES/NO first, so real offers usually start landing in minutes. I'll message you on WhatsApp as they come in.
I can widen the search area — with your okay — or keep your request open and ping you the moment a matching seller shows up.
Yes. I remember places you approve, but I'll always check with you before reusing one — so you can keep the same area or switch to a new one naturally.
On deals that get faked a lot — phones, laptops, consoles, generators — escrow is required: I hold the money until you confirm. On everything else it's optional, and either side can ask for it.
I'd rather you both stay in the deal room until the deal is done. Keeping the chat and payment inside the room is exactly what protects you if something goes wrong.
I send the buyer a confirmation request on WhatsApp. If the seller has solid delivery proof and the buyer stays quiet, release rules can move the case forward.
The deal room already keeps the messages, proof, and payment events in one place. So when something is contested, support reviews what actually happened — not screenshots.
