There are scant researches into the practices that are considered as sustainable management practice of the real estate in Ghana. This study seeks to assess factors for implementation of sustainable real estate management practices in Ghana using Ghana Cocoa Board (Cocobod) as a case study by examining the real estate management practices that exists at Cocobod, identify sustainable practices in real estate management and lately propose strategies for implementing sustainable real estate management practice The survey was conducted purposively with selected Real Estates Officers in the various Estates departments of Cocobod given as a sample size of 25 respondents through discussions and questionnaires of the concept reviewed from the literature.
