Research Focus

Research that comes to you, wherever you are.

Research Focus is my remote-first service. I do the research, record a personal video episode for every shortlisted project, and upload it for you, so you can judge a property properly without giving up your weekends, or without being in the country at all.

I come from research. As an analyst at India Infrastructure I learned to trust data over brochures, and three decades around NCR real estate and building materials taught me what things actually cost to build. I read a project the way an analyst reads accounts, looking for what has been left out.

Research Focus packages

Residential packages are below, alongside a standard package for commercial and industrial research. Need something more specific — a different city, a bespoke scope? That's a custom engagement, quoted after the free discovery call.

  • Same research depth, same honest verdicts
  • Personal presentation on Zoom, in person, or at my office. Your convenience decides
  • Priced after the discovery call

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.

What you're actually paying for

The research, and the proof of it, delivered to you on video.

  • A personal video episode for every shortlisted project. I record it on site: the project, the access road, the society, and what I found that the brochure doesn't say. It is uploaded to a private link only you can open, so you can watch when it suits you.
  • Drone footage of each project. The whole development and its surroundings, seen from above.
  • A full video walkthrough of your front-runner. The unit, the society and the neighbourhood, from start to finish.
  • The numbers, in writing. A comparison of true cost, legal status and my verdict on each project.
  • Decision calls on video. We go through everything together before you commit a rupee.

The Research Package is the exception: it has no video episodes. You receive a curated presentation of the best options for your requirement, online or in person, whichever you prefer.

How your episodes reach you

  2. I research and shortlistI survey the market, check the legal status and the true costs, and narrow it to the 3 to 5 projects that deserve your attention.
  3. Your episodes are uploadedFor each shortlisted project, a personal video episode and drone footage arrive on your private link, together with my written comparison.
  4. We decide together, on videoWe go through the shortlist on a call. You ask questions, I give my verdict, and we cut it down.
  5. You get the full walkthroughFor the project you lean towards, I record a full video walkthrough of the unit, the society and the surroundings.
  6. I negotiate, and see it throughI deal with the owner or developer for you and support the paperwork to closing. You visit only if you want to, or for the final agreement.

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 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.

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.

Before we start

A research engagement runs for about three to four weeks, and it works best when you can give it steady attention. That means watching each episode when it arrives, joining the decision calls on video, and replying within a couple of days.

Gaps make a shortlist go stale, because properties sell and prices move while a decision waits. If the coming month is already packed, tell me, and we will agree a start date that works for you. A late start costs you nothing. A stalled search can cost you the best property.

This is not for everyone. If you want a long list to browse, or the cheapest possible broker, a different kind of agent will suit you better.
