Naveen, a seasoned businessman, walked into Sandesh’s office with confidence—and a bit of hurry in his voice.
Naveen:
“Sandesh, I’m finalising a land deal in Goa. Settlement zone. I’ve been told rates are around ₹1,00,000 per square metre. I just wanted a quick confirmation.”
Sandesh smiled. The kind of smile that comes from experience, not excitement.
Sandesh:
“Good you came before signing anything. Let me give you the real picture—location by location.”
He pulled out his notes.
Calangute (Settlement Zone): ₹75,000 – ₹80,000 / sq.m
Baga: Around ₹1,00,000 / sq.m
Moira & Aldona: ₹50,000 – ₹60,000 / sq.m
Naveen leaned back. The colour on his face changed.
Naveen:
“Wait… I was about to buy 1,000 square metres in Calangute at ₹1,00,000 per sq.m.”
Sandesh nodded calmly and did the math aloud.
Sandesh:
“At ₹1,00,000, your deal value would be ₹10 crore.
But the fair market rate is max ₹80,000.
That means you should be paying ₹8 crore.”
He paused. Let it sink in.
Sandesh (softly):
“You were about to lose ₹2 crore.
For nothing. No added value. Just lack of correct guidance.”
Silence.
Naveen exhaled slowly.
Naveen:
“₹2 crore… gone. Just like that.”
He stood up, walked across, and shook Sandesh’s hand firmly.
Naveen:
“Sandesh, today you didn’t just give me rates.
You saved me two crores and years of regret.
This is exactly why people call Suprabhatham a reputed consultancy.”
Sandesh smiled again—this time lighter.
Sandesh:
“In real estate, Naveen, profit is made not by buying cheap…
but by not buying wrong.”
Naveen nodded.
Naveen:
“Lunch is on me. And every future Goa investment—I’m calling you before I call the seller.”
