Sharma Estate Consultant

Our shop is number 8 in the Gavdevi CHS building, right across from Dheeraj Gaurav Height in Andheri West. It’s a small shop, like most in this part of Mumbai. We have a couple of desks and a lot of keys hanging on the wall. The street outside is always busy with people and rickshaws, so there is never a quiet moment. We spend our day mostly on the phone or out showing flats to people. It gets pretty hot in the afternoons, so we keep the fan on full blast. We don't have a fancy website or a marketing team. People just walk in because they saw our board or they live in the buildings nearby. It’s a very hands-on job. We know which buildings have water issues and which ones have good landlords. The office is a bit cluttered with old ledgers and coffee cups, but we know where everything is. We aren't trying to be the biggest agency in Andheri; we just want to get the deals done so people can move in. It is a lot of running around and dealing with paperwork at the registrar's office. We just take it one day at a time and try to keep things clear for our clients without all the corporate talk. It is a noisy, busy little office, but it is where we have been for years and it works for us. We'll be here until the sun goes down.
