Is Your Client Playing With Your Time, Emotions, Honesty & More? An Open Letter From Every Honest Property Dealer
❌ The Ghosting Epidemic in Real Estate
Every day, thousands of honest property dealers in India wake up with a single hope:
“Today, someone will respect my time, my truth, and my effort.”
But reality hits differently.
Today’s educated buyer often treats property agents like disposable tools. They extract all the information — and then disappear without a trace.
No courtesy.
No update.
No “thank you.”
Just… vanish.
This blog isn’t just a vent. It’s a voice for every honest agent who gives 100%, only to be met with 0 respect.
🧠 Buyers Are Smart, But Are They Fair?
Let’s face it: buyers today do their research. They compare properties, review builders, and ask great questions.
But somewhere in this information war, basic human courtesy is being lost.
“Why should I trust any dealer?”
Wrong question.
The real one is:
“Why misuse someone’s time if you don’t even plan to respond honestly?”
Yes, some dealers have ruined the name. But not all.
Thousands of agents across India are doing everything with ethics, transparency, and truth.
And it hurts when honesty is treated as weakness.
📍 A Real Story (One of Thousands)
A buyer calls.
They sound excited.
They want to know everything — from possession timelines to resale value.
You help them.
You schedule a visit.
You drive 30 km in traffic.
You wait. You show. You explain.
They say:
“This looks great. I’ll call you by evening.”
And then?
Blocked.
Ghosted.
Forgotten.
No closure. No feedback. Nothing.
Meanwhile, the agent has lost hours, energy, fuel, and mental space — for what?
📊 The Invisible Burnout
Let’s talk numbers:
🔹 Over 70% of leads vanish after collecting details.
🔹 A typical agent spends 6–8 hours per lead on calls, visits, follow-ups.
🔹 Mental fatigue, trust issues, and emotional burnout are now common in the industry.
This is not sustainable.
This is not fair.
💔 This Isn’t Just Business. This Is Emotional Exploitation.
To every buyer reading this:
Please understand — we are not robots.
We are fathers, mothers, daughters, sons — trying to build careers with dignity.
We offer our time, not for a “commission grab,” but to serve and support your dream of owning a home.
You don’t have to buy from every agent you talk to.
But you do owe us basic decency and closure.
🧭 The Golden Rule: All or Nothing
Here’s one truth every buyer should remember:
✅ If you’re looking for a property, either trust your agent completely — or not at all.
❌ There is no in-between.
Don’t use us just for free site visits.
Don’t string us along with false hopes.
Because we’re not just providers of brochures —
We are the ones who negotiate for you, coordinate visits, ensure legal clarity, and stand by you when the builder doesn’t pick up the call.

🧱 Support Local Agents — Not Just Fancy Portals
Real estate platforms may show listings. But only local agents know the truth:
Which builder is stuck in court
Which projects have hidden charges
Which flats get direct sunlight
Which deals are actually worth it
Your agent is your eyes and ears on ground zero.
Value that. Respect that.
🖋️ Final Message to Every Buyer
Before you send that next property inquiry, ask yourself:
“Am I going to treat this agent with respect — or like a disposable Google search?”
Because trust us, agents remember.
And when you trust us fully, we go to war for your dream home.
