The offer, in one paragraph

Being pitched by another broker or a developer’s sales desk? Send us the quote, the brochure line, or the WhatsApp forward — we audit it free, even if you never buy through us. We can afford to be straight about it because our fee comes from developers on our own mandates, not from being right about anyone else’s pitch; and our public Correction Ledger logs, dated, every call we have had to retract. The process is short: you send the pitch on WhatsApp, we check the price against published, dated references, confirm RERA status at up-rera.in and classify every claim — and you get a written verdict with sources, usually the same day. The audit judges the claim, never the person: no other broker is named in anything we publish.

The one rule this desk runs on: if the other deal is genuinely good, we tell you so in writing — and stand aside. A desk that can never say “take it” is just another pitch.

How it works — three steps, no form

Send it on WhatsApp
Forward the quote, a photo of the cost sheet, the brochure line, or the message itself to +91 95404 45300. No form and no account — the message you already have is enough to start.
We run the checks
The price goes against a published, dated reference for that exact project or plot. The project’s RERA status is confirmed at up-rera.in — registration number, not application number. And every claim in the pitch is classified the way the Claim Verifier does it: verifiable, not independently verifiable, or a promise no seller can lawfully make.
You get a written verdict
A short written verdict with the sources linked, so you can re-check every line without us — usually the same day. It is yours to keep and act on either way; nothing about it obliges you to buy anything, through us or anyone.

What we check — the same public apparatus, applied to the pitch

Nothing in the audit is private machinery. Every check below already exists as a public page or a public register, so the verdict you get is one you can rebuild yourself, line by line. Each reference carries its provenance — founder-stated, verified or reported — and its date.

The Second-Opinion audit — what each part of a pitch is checked against. References founder-stated & indicative, dated 12 July 2026.
Part of the pitch	Checked against	What that means	Re-check it yourself
The price	A dated reference for that exact project or plot	As of 12 July 2026: ₹9,300/sq.ft for the Eldeco Echoes of Eden Caelum tower, Sector 22D — the 2 BHK is sold out; a 3 BHK+2T starts around ₹1.44 Cr; possession Jan 2031 per the RERA filing. ₹16,995/sq.ft pre-launch indicative for ACE Parkway 2.0, Sector 150 Noida — a different micro-market, so never compared like-for-like. ~₹1,00,000/sq.m market rate for a YEIDA residential plot — the RPS-10 scheme rate (~₹36,260/sq.m) is the lottery price, not the market price. founder-stated indicative	Run your number on Is That Quote Fair?
The RERA status	The state portal record itself	Registered, applied, or nothing at all — and always the registration number, not the application number, because those are different legal states. Eldeco Echoes of Eden is registered as UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026 verified · up-rera.in. A pre-RERA pitch (ACE Parkway 2.0, Gaurs Studio Bento) can only honestly offer a fully refundable Expression of Interest, held outside the RERA escrow account pre-RERA · EOI-only.	Search the register at up-rera.in
The claims	The Claim Verifier’s five categories	Assured-return promises, scarcity and urgency lines, infrastructure timelines, RERA-status claims, and price or appreciation talk — each mapped to one of three verdicts: verifiable, not independently verifiable, or a promise no seller can lawfully make.	Run the exact line through the Claim Verifier
The inclusion list	The written, RERA-filed cost sheet	What actually sits inside the headline rate — base price, PLC, parking, club, GST, stamp duty. A headline below the reference usually means a different inclusion list, not a hidden bargain, which is why the verdict always names what the cost sheet should show.	Total it on the All-In Cost Calculator

The rules the desk runs under

No other broker is ever named

The audit judges the claim, not the person. In anything public — this page, the ledgers, any example we ever cite — a rival quote appears generically, stripped of names, firms and anything that identifies who made it. You are not handing us ammunition; you are borrowing our checklist.

A good deal gets called a good deal

If the numbers survive the checks, the written verdict says so and we stand aside. Our fee comes from developers on the mandates we hold, not from steering you off anyone else’s — and the Correction Ledger is the standing proof that we put being corrected above looking right.

Every verdict shows its provenance

Each fact in the verdict carries its tag — verified, founder-stated, reported or not yet verifiable — and its source, so the verdict stands without you having to trust us. Any call we get wrong is logged, dated, on the public ledger; nothing is quietly edited.

No urgency, in either direction

A second opinion never comes with a countdown. The same No-Deadline Pledge that covers everything else we publish covers this desk: a verdict is information, never pressure to move — toward the other deal or toward ours.

The honest limits

Three things this desk cannot do — and will say so in the verdict rather than guess.

Unpublished availability cannot be verified — by us or anyone outside the developer. A spoken “units left” count has no public record to check it against, so the honest classification is not independently verifiable. What we hand you instead is the counter-move: ask for a dated, unit-numbered availability sheet and match it to the project’s RERA Quarterly Progress Report on up-rera.in.

A pre-RERA price cannot be audited against a filing that does not exist yet. For pre-RERA projects such as ACE Parkway 2.0 or Gaurs Studio Bento, any figure is indicative by definition; the only honest instrument is a fully refundable Expression of Interest sitting outside the RERA escrow account, and no verdict of ours changes that posture.

The verdict covers what you send. If the pitch arrives as a headline rate with no cost sheet, the audit says so and is scoped to the headline. A complete answer needs the written, RERA-filed cost sheet — which is also the first document worth requesting from the desk that quoted you.

FAQ

How do I verify a property quote I received?

Three checks cover most of it. First, hold the rate against a dated reference for that exact project or plot — not against another sales pitch; the references we work to are published on the Is That Quote Fair page. Second, confirm the project’s RERA status yourself at up-rera.in, and insist on the registration number rather than the application number — ‘applied’ and ‘registered’ are different legal states. Third, ask exactly what is inside the number — base price, PLC, parking, club, GST, stamp duty — and get it on the written, RERA-filed cost sheet. If you would rather not do it alone, forward the quote to this desk on WhatsApp and we run the same three checks free, with sources you can click.

Can I get a second opinion on a property quote in Noida or on the Yamuna Expressway?

Yes — that is exactly what this desk does, free, even if you never buy through us. Send the quote, the brochure line, or the WhatsApp forward to +91 95404 45300. We check the price against published, dated references, confirm the project’s RERA status on up-rera.in, and classify each claim as verifiable, not independently verifiable, or a promise no seller can lawfully make. You get a written verdict with sources, usually the same day, and no obligation follows from it.

Is my builder quote fair — what do you compare it against?

Against a dated reference for that exact project or plot, never a feeling. As of 12 July 2026 the references we work to are founder-stated and indicative: ₹9,300 per sq.ft for the Eldeco Echoes of Eden Caelum tower in Sector 22D, RERA-registered as UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026; a pre-launch ₹16,995 per sq.ft indicative for ACE Parkway 2.0 in Sector 150, Noida — a different micro-market, pre-RERA and EOI-only; and about ₹1,00,000 per sq.m at market rates for a YEIDA residential plot. A quote below a reference is not automatically a bargain — it usually means a different inclusion list — so the verdict always names what sits inside the number and what the RERA-filed cost sheet should show.

Will you tell me if the other deal is genuinely good?

Yes, in writing — that is the point of the desk. Our fee comes from developers on the mandates we hold, not from being right about anyone else’s pitch, so confirming a good deal costs us nothing. Two rules protect that: we never name the other broker or firm in anything public, and every call we have had to retract sits dated on our public Correction Ledger. If the numbers survive the checks, the honest verdict is to take the deal — whoever brought it to you.

Can you verify how many units are really left in a project?

No — and neither can anyone else outside the developer, which is why we say so instead of guessing. A spoken availability count has no public record to check it against, so the honest classification is ‘not independently verifiable’. What the audit gives you instead is the counter-move: ask the seller for a dated, unit-numbered availability sheet and match it against the project’s RERA Quarterly Progress Report on up-rera.in. We will classify an availability claim for you; we will never pretend to confirm one.

What does a second opinion cost, and do I have to buy through you?

Nothing, and no. The audit is free, carries no obligation, and the verdict is yours to keep whether or not you ever transact with us. The economics are stated openly: our fee comes from developers on our own mandates, so the desk does not need you to buy anything for an audit to be worth doing. And because every call we get wrong is logged, dated, on the public Correction Ledger, each audit is also an audit of us.

The apparatus behind the verdict — run it on us too

The desk is only credible because every check is public before your pitch arrives: the claim categories, the dated price references, and the standard we hold every project to — including our own conduct. Nothing in a verdict comes from a tool you cannot open yourself.

How to read the references

Every price reference on this page is founder-stated and indicative as of 12 July 2026, provided by Vidit Kaushik for the projects and the authority scheme he works with directly — not scraped market data and not a valuation. The Eldeco Echoes of Eden figure is the Caelum-tower indicative; the project is RERA-registered as UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026, confirmable at up-rera.in, with possession January 2031 per the filing. ACE Parkway 2.0 (Sector 150, Noida) and Gaurs Studio Bento are pre-launch / pre-RERA: their only instrument is a fully refundable Expression of Interest held outside the RERA escrow account, and any figure for them is indicative only. The YEIDA residential-plot market reference is ~₹1,00,000/sq.m; the RPS-10 scheme rate (~₹36,260/sq.m) is the lottery-allotment price, confirmable on the current notification at yeida.gov.in. For a project we hold no reference on, the audit attaches no invented number — the verdict works from that project’s own RERA filing or says plainly that no published reference exists.
