Discovery call. No cost to start
Two ways to buy

Your next 3–4 months.
Two very different journeys.

The usual way
  • Five brokers pushing their own listings. That's where their margin is
  • Weekends lost to site visits that lead nowhere
  • Price points that never quite add up
  • Months of calls, confusion and second-guessing
With me in your corner
  • One person who understands your budget and requirement
  • I visit the sites, run the surveys, find the catch in every project
  • You see only the 3–5 options genuinely worth your time
  • Clear pros, cons and true pricing. Then you decide

Think of me as the sieve: the whole market goes in, only what deserves your attention comes through. I hold no listings, so I have nothing to push. I treat every search like my own purchase.

What I do for you
Research & shortlist
Full market survey. 3–5 projects matched to your budget and requirement.
Legal & title checks
RERA status, clear title, delivery track record. No surprises at registration.
True cost breakdown
Every hidden charge: PLC, EDC, IDC, GST, parking. All before you commit.
Visits & video walkthroughs
Accompanied site visits, plus video of the flat, society and surroundings.
Negotiation for you
I handle owner and developer meetings, and negotiate on your behalf.
One clean buyer's report
A report curated personally for you, presented like a professional briefing.

Every project has a catch the seller won't mention. My job is to find it before you sign, and tell you the truth about it.

Judge the work before you pay for it

I'll send you a redacted report from a recent engagement: real project, real numbers, real verdict. That's exactly what you'll get for your own shortlist.

Why the fee is what it is

I don't advise from the sidelines. I buy the property as if it were my own.

Time is the one thing I can't make more of, and neither can you. So I keep the number of buyers I'm working with at any one time deliberately small, and I price the work to match.

The fee isn't for information. Information is cheap, and half of it is free. It's for position. Your file sits at the top of my desk. I walk the sites myself, sit in the negotiations myself, and put your purchase ahead of my own convenience, exactly as I would if I were the one signing the cheque.

It is the clearest commitment I know how to make, and it runs both ways. Someone who pays this is serious about buying well. And I have every reason to outwork anyone who might otherwise have handled this for you.

If the fee is the part that gives you pause, say so on the discovery call. I'll tell you honestly whether you're better served by a conventional broker. I'd rather turn down the work than take on a purchase I can't give this much of myself to.

The discovery call costs nothing to start. Every paid package adjusts against brokerage at deal closure; if the deal doesn't close, the fee covers the work done. Either way, you're not paying a broker who was never working for you.

Brokerage & ticket size

All of this is set against the brokerage I charge when your deal closes: 1% of the ticket value. Whatever you've already paid in package fees is deducted from that brokerage at closure, so you never pay both in full.

1%
Standard brokerage on deal value, plus applicable taxes, at closure
₹2 Cr+
Minimum ticket size for residential engagements
₹2.5 Cr+
Minimum ticket size for commercial & industrial engagements

NRI engagements also start at ₹2.5 Cr, so the package fee is always fully absorbed by the brokerage at closure.

Whatever you've paid for a package is subtracted from the 1% brokerage at closure. You're never paying twice.

The process
1
Free discovery call

30 minutes on your requirement, budget and timeline. I tell you exactly how I can help.

2
Simple one-page agreement

We pick the right package. Work begins.

3
I do the work

Research, legal checks, shortlisting, site visits, negotiation. You don't lift a finger.

4
You decide. Deal closes. Fee adjusts

You get the buyer's report and full clarity. At closure, what you've paid is deducted from the brokerage.

Why me
  • Works under a RERA-registered firm: every engagement compliant and documented, every project RERA-checked before it reaches you
  • Research analyst, India Infrastructure: market data and fundamentals, not brochures
  • Founder's office, Zeno Realty: the industry, seen from the inside
  • A background of 30+ years in NCR real estate and building materials, so I know what things cost to build
  • Lived in South Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida: I know every major NCR market personally

I run this like a research practice, not a brokerage. I charge upfront because I work for you. My income depends on your outcome, not a developer's payout.

What clients say

Gajraj Singh · Buyer, Greater Noida

★★★★★

"Hard working and trustworthy, with genuine enthusiasm in finding the right property for us. Very helpful throughout."

If you're selling

You take one meeting. I'll take the other forty.

Selling isn't hard because of the property. It's hard because of everything around it: the calls at all hours, the fifteen viewings where twelve were never serious, the offer from someone who was only ever curious. Most owners I speak to don't want a broker. They want the whole thing off their desk.

Sign a mandate with me and it comes off. My team takes every enquiry the property generates, works out who is real, runs every site visit, and negotiates only with buyers who can actually close. You meet the one buyer worth meeting, and you sit in the final meetings. That is the whole of your involvement.

Every call, handled
Every enquiry the property generates comes to us, not to your phone.
Buyers screened
Budget, funding and intent checked. Only serious buyers ever reach you.
All site visits run
We show the property ourselves, as many times as it takes. You don't attend.
Negotiation on your side
We hold the line on price with buyers who have proven they can close.
Priced to the market
A realistic number based on current rates and what your property actually is.
Marketing, if you want it
In-house division: Google and Meta ads, the property platforms, creative and enquiries handled A to Z. Additional charge, quoted on the call.

2% at closure, on an exclusive mandate. That is above the going rate in NCR, and it is meant to be. You are not paying for a listing. You are paying for all of it to leave your desk, and that only works if the mandate is mine to run.

If you want the property pushed harder than that, it's handled in house. My marketing division runs Google and Meta campaigns, builds the listing out across the property platforms, and takes the creative and the enquiries A to Z. You send me the property details and nothing else. How hard we push depends on the engagement you want, and it's an additional charge, quoted on the call.

It starts the same way as the buy side: a call about the property, and an honest answer. I don't take on a mandate I don't believe I can sell.

Talk to me about selling
Selling — common questions
Why 2%, when most brokers here charge 1%?

Because a 1% broker is doing a different job. They put your number in front of whoever calls, forward you the enquiries, and leave you to run the viewings. I take the mandate and the work with it: every call, every visit, the screening, the negotiation and the price strategy. One percent buys you a listing. Two percent buys your time back, and a sale run properly by people who do this full time. If all you want is your property on a portal, a 1% broker is honestly better value. The extra point is for not having to live inside the process.

Why does the mandate have to be exclusive?

Because the effort is spent before any commission exists. My team's time on every viewing and every call goes in up front, and if three other brokers are working the same property, one of them closes on work I paid for. Exclusivity is what makes it rational to put real weight behind your sale. It also protects your price: a property being shopped by five brokers looks desperate, and buyers read that and offer accordingly.

How long does the mandate run?

We agree the period before you sign, based on the property and the price you're after. If it lapses without a sale, you're free to walk away. I'd rather set a realistic window than tie you into a long one.

Do I have to attend the site visits?

No. That's the entire point. We show the property ourselves, as many times as it takes, and you don't hear about the ones that were never serious. You come in at the end, for the buyer who is real and the final meetings.

What if the property doesn't sell?

You owe me nothing. There's no upfront fee on the sell side, and commission is only payable when a deal closes. The single exception is marketing, if you chose to add it, since that money is spent on your property as it's incurred.

Is the marketing compulsory?

No. The mandate already covers everything up to and including negotiation. Marketing is an optional add-on for when you want the property pushed harder than that, and it's quoted separately on the call.

How do you decide the asking price?

From current transacted rates in your micromarket, what your property actually is against the comparable stock, and how quickly you want it gone. You'll get an honest number rather than a flattering one. Overpricing a property costs you far more time than starting at the right figure.

Buying — common questions
Why should I pay you when brokers are free?

Brokers are free because the developer pays them, which means their advice serves whoever pays. My fee comes from you, so my only incentive is that you buy right. And every fee adjusts against brokerage at closure, so in total you don't pay more anyway.

Is the discovery call really free?

Yes, no charge, while I'm building out the practice. If it ever becomes unmanageable to keep it free, I'll introduce a fee for new bookings, but that won't affect a conversation already in progress.

Do you charge brokerage on top of the package?

Standard 1% brokerage applies at closure, same as anywhere else. But your advisory fee adjusts against it, so you never pay more than you would with a regular broker.

What if I don't end up buying?

The fee pays for the work delivered: research, shortlisting, site visits, negotiation time. It isn't refundable, but there's also no brokerage to pay.

How do payments work?

Directly and simply: we confirm on WhatsApp, you pay by UPI or bank transfer, you get a receipt. No gateways, no stored cards.

Which areas do you cover?

Noida, Greater Noida, Yamuna Expressway and Gurgaon as standard; the rest of NCR on request. Tier 2–3 cities via custom engagement.
