In this episode of the Change Africa podcast, host Isaac Aboah sits down with sisters Anna and Victoria Agyekum, co-coordinators of On Point Property Management, to explore the growing world of real estate in Ghana and the critical role of the diaspora in shaping the sector’s future.
The conversation opens with the sisters sharing their unexpected journey into real estate, grounded in their cultural roots and entrepreneurial upbringing. Together, they unpack the unique challenges diaspora investors face, from trust gaps to limited access to information, and highlight why Ghana presents a powerful investment opportunity with its political stability and emerging economy.
Anna and Victoria speak candidly about high interest rates, mortgage access, and infrastructure issues and propose public-private partnerships as a vital part of the solution. They emphasize that affordability must be understood from the perspective of multiple market demographics and call attention to the need for better planning to position Ghana as a potential world-class city.
Throughout the episode, the sisters stress the role of technology, sustainability, and community development in the future of real estate. They also reflect on the impact of real estate expos in educating buyers and empowering local and diaspora communities.
This episode captures the intersection of culture, entrepreneurship, and future-focused urban development, showing how real estate can become a tool for transformation across Africa.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
