Buying alone, directly from the developer
You deal with the developer's sales team yourself. You are in full control, but you negotiate as a single buyer and do all your own research.
Using a property broker
A broker can show you several projects, arrange site visits and handle paperwork. Under the RERA Act, real estate agents who facilitate sales must be registered with the state RERA authority, so it is worth checking a broker's registration. Ask how the broker is paid, as this can affect which projects they recommend.
Together buying (group buying)
You join other buyers who want similar flats and approach the developer as a group. This can strengthen your negotiating position and gives you other buyers to compare notes with. It works best when you are flexible enough to consider the projects a group is focused on. It does not guarantee a discount.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a broker and join a group?
You are free to explore all options. Just avoid booking the same flat through two channels, and tell us if you have already been introduced to a project by someone else.
