How to Choose a Trusted Property Dealer in Delhi NCR
Whether you are searching in Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad or Delhi, a good property dealer saves time and helps you avoid costly mistakes — a bad one can do the opposite. Here is how to tell them apart.
In this guide
1. Check their RERA agent registration
Real estate agents who broker deals in RERA-registered projects are required to register with the state RERA authority. Ask for the registration number and verify it on the official portal.
2. Look for a real business presence
- A working website with a real address, phone number and email.
- Named people — leadership and agents you can actually speak to.
- A track record you can verify: reviews on independent platforms and references from past clients.
3. Expect transparency about money
A trustworthy dealer explains their brokerage or service fee up front, gives you a written record, and never asks for cash payments or 'off-the-record' arrangements.
4. Watch how they handle your questions
- They share the RERA number, documents and full price breakup without hesitation.
- They show you options that fit your budget rather than only the most expensive ones.
- They do not pressure you with false urgency.
5. Red flags
- Refusing to share a RERA number or ownership documents.
- Photos or prices that change once you visit.
- Requests for a large advance before you have seen paperwork.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay brokerage to a property dealer?
Brokerage depends on the dealer's terms and the type of transaction. Agree on the amount and when it is payable in writing before you start.
Should I use a dealer or buy directly from the builder?
Both can work. A good consultant helps you compare projects and negotiate, while buying directly can be simpler for a single known project. Verify RERA registration either way.
