The problem
Land is a trust purchase before it is a price purchase. The buyer has been told about disputed titles, about schemes where you own a share rather than a parcel, and about brochures that quietly become 'indicative'. None of that is answered by photographs of a valley.
What’s on it
- Freehold 10,000 sq.ft plots from ₹65 lakh, with stamp duty and registration called out as extra
- The Vision, Masterplan, Amenities and Gallery as first-level pages
- Paperwork section naming the 7/12 extract, registered sale deed and demarcation
- Sixteen-question FAQ covering NRI purchase, first-time buyers and homestay use
- Proximity list with drive times — Shirota Dam, Kamshet paragliding, Karla Caves, Pawna Lake
- Call, WhatsApp and site-visit actions in the fixed header
- Asterisked figures throughout, with a disclaimer that the page is not an offer
The calls
01
Published a starting price, which none of the other property work here does.
Every parcel is the same 10,000 sq.ft, so one number is honest for all of them — and on a commodity unit, withholding it reads as the evasion the buyer is already braced for. Charter pricing moves with vessel and date and can't be published; land pricing can.
02
Gave the paperwork a section and named each document in it.
For land the documents are the product. An individual 7/12 extract per plot rather than per scheme is the single fact that separates this from what the buyer has been warned about, so it is stated as a fact and not as reassurance.
03
Answered sixteen questions on the page rather than on a call.
A first-time salaried buyer, an NRI and someone planning a homestay arrive with three different anxieties. Handling all of them in an FAQ costs one section and removes the call that would otherwise have to happen before a site visit is worth booking.
04
Led the location section with drive times, not with amenities.
A weekend-home buyer is really buying the journey — 45 to 60 minutes from Pune, an hour and a half to two from Bombay. A clubhouse only matters once the drive is acceptable.
05
Asterisked every figure and put the disclaimer on the page.
Acreage, drive times and returns are estimates, and a land buyer who later finds out will not forgive it. Marking them costs nothing and is the same argument the paperwork section is making.
“For land, the documents are the product. Everything else is a photograph.”
