Property consultants · Real estate and construction

Be the adviser a buyer asks before signing a booking form.

A couple in Hyderabad has shortlisted three under-construction projects and a ready flat. They have a brochure from each sales team, each says it is the best, and a relative says to wait. They search for someone neutral, read two pages, and call the consultant whose page says openly how the fee is paid and what gets checked before booking.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Realistic editorial illustration of property management companies at work in the United States

In one paragraph

Property consultants advise buyers, sellers and investors on which project, locality or deal fits their need, with some paperwork support on the side. They are chosen on independence and clear judgement. GullySales builds comparison pages, a plain statement of how you are paid and a follow-up routine that stays with a buyer through a long decision.

A property consultant sells judgement, and judgement is hard to see from outside. The consultants who grow are those whose pages show how they think, which questions they ask and where their advice ends and a lawyer's begins.

How buyers decide

How property consultants are chosen.

Buyers choose a consultant when the decision feels too large to make from brochures. They look for someone with no stake in a single project, and the first question is who pays the consultant. A consultant who answers that on the first page is easier to trust than one who leaves a builder commission unmentioned.

They compare consultants by how well the first conversation explains their own situation back to them: budget, family stage, commute, school, and loan limit. A consultant who can narrow a long list to a clear shortlist, and say why a popular project is not right for this buyer, is remembered.

Sellers and investors come by referral and by search for the locality. Property law, registration and tax rules differ by state and change, so check what you may advise on with your own adviser and send buyers to a lawyer or chartered accountant for those parts.

The problem

What usually goes wrong for property consultants.

What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.

  • “Buyers think we are builder salespeople”

    A buyer assumes the consultant is paid by the builders and that the advice follows the commission. Nothing on our pages shows otherwise.

  • “Our advice is hard to see before someone pays”

    A buyer cannot judge us from a profile. We have no sample of how we compare projects or what a shortlist looks like.

  • “Decisions take months and we lose touch”

    A family looks for six months. We help early, then they go quiet and book through another channel.

  • “We end up as free advice”

    People take a shortlist and book directly with the builder, because we have no clear point where our work is paid for.

  • “Our locality knowledge is not on any page”

    We know the roads, water, builders' track records and resale gaps, but a buyer cannot see it before the call.

  • “We take every kind of enquiry”

    Resale buyers, investors and under-construction hunters need different advice, yet one generic page serves all three.

What we do

What we do for property consultants.

Everything included for property consultants.

  1. A plain page on how you are paid

    A short page that states whether you charge the client, receive builder commission or both, and what you do when the two conflict.

  2. Locality and project comparison pages

    Pages that compare areas on what a family actually weighs: commute, schools, water, resale and the builder's delivery record as it is public.

  3. A sample shortlist and questions list

    An anonymised example of how you move from a brief to three options, and the questions you ask before recommending any.

  4. A first-call form that captures the brief

    Budget, family size, loan eligibility range, timeline and must-haves, collected before the call.

  5. A decision-stage follow-up routine

    Check-ins during a long search, each with a reason to call: a new project to look at, a price change, a site visit date.

  6. A past-client review and referral routine

    A way to ask buyers, after possession, to share their experience and introduce a friend.

How the result is measured

  • Consultation requests by page and source
  • Share of requests that become paid engagements
  • Repeat contacts during a long search
  • Clients who book through your advice
  • Reviews and referrals after possession
  • Time from first call to decision

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Project shortlisting for new launches · Resale flat evaluation · Locality comparison for families moving cities · Investment property guidance for known buyers · NRI property purchase support · Sale price and listing advice for sellers · Document and registration coordination · Redevelopment and society advice

Priority campaigns

Campaigns for what property consultants most want to sell.

Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.

  • Compare-and-decide search campaign

    Google ads and content for searches such as 'which area is better to buy a flat in' a city, leading to a comparison page and a consultation form.

  • Educational video series

    Short videos on how to read a brochure, what to ask a builder and how to compare a resale flat, in the language of the city.

  • NRI consultation campaign

    A page and ads for buyers abroad, describing how a remote purchase works with your support.

  • Society and redevelopment outreach

    A short introduction for housing societies that are considering redevelopment, with the questions a committee should ask.

Beyond search

Where we reach buyers of property consultants, beyond Google.

Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.

  • Home loan advisers and bank relationship managers

    They meet buyers who have chosen a property but may not know if it fits. A neutral consultant is someone a loan officer can suggest.

  • Property lawyers and chartered accountants

    They handle the parts you do not. Agree in writing who refers what, within the rules of each profession.

  • Employers with relocating staff

    An HR desk with a transferred employee and a week to find housing keeps a short list of names it can hand over. Being on that list takes a one-page introduction and a clear fee note.

  • Housing society committees

    Committee members deciding on redevelopment may look for outside guidance before inviting developers.

  • YouTube and community groups on property

    Viewers of property channels and members of locality groups ask for a neutral voice. We help you answer questions in public, with care.

Who it is for

This is written for these property consultants.

  • Consultants advising first-time homebuyers on new launches
  • Resale property consultants for ready homes
  • Investment-focused property consultants for plots and commercial units
  • NRI property consultants guiding buyers abroad
  • Independent consultants paid only by the client
  • Consultants who also earn from builder tie-ups and say so
  • Redevelopment and society consultants advising housing societies
  • Retirement and downsizing property consultants for older owners

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

How the work runs for property consultants

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Understand how you work and are paid

    Your client types, fee model, builder relationships and the way you handle a conflict, noted down first.

  2. 2

    Choose the questions you want to be known for

    The decisions where your advice stands out, such as resale versus new launch or one locality versus another.

  3. 3

    Write the pages and the sample work

    The payment page, the comparison pages and an anonymised sample, with every claim approved by you.

  4. 4

    Set the long-decision follow-up

    Messages for a family mid-search are drafted, each tied to a reason such as a new project, with a sender named and a place to log the reply.

  5. 5

    Review by enquiry type

    Buyers, investors and sellers are separated in the tracker, so paid work can be traced to its source.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

GullySales builds every engagement from three pieces of sales work. This page is not one of them, but the same three steps apply to the business behind it.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions property consultants ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should I tell buyers that a builder pays me?
Say it plainly, and say what you do if the best option is a project you do not earn from. Buyers trust a stated conflict more than a hidden one.
Can I show a list of projects I recommend?
Only if the list is your honest view and you disclose any commission. Rules differ by state and change, so check with your own adviser before publishing a project list. An agent who helps sell units in a RERA-registered project also needs a RERA agent registration.
How do I stop people taking my shortlist and leaving?
Make the first conversation useful but keep the full comparison and site-visit support in the paid engagement. A page that describes this clearly sets expectations.
I am a one-person consultancy. What helps most?
A clear page on how you are paid, two or three locality comparisons and a follow-up routine for buyers who take months to decide.
Can I promise returns on investment properties?
Do not quote future returns or appreciation. Describe the location, the rental demand you see and the risks, and let the buyer take financial advice.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile are the quickest to show, because the enquiries already exist. Ads can follow soon after follow-up is in place. SEO and content take longer. How long each takes depends on your business, and we tell you which applies to you after we have spoken. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
To start, last month's enquiries in any format and time with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM.
