Manas Estate Agency

If you know the Lakdi Pool area or the stretch near the Indian Oil Petrol Pump on Sinhagad Road, then you’ve probably passed Manas Estate Agency. We are right there at 2 Sinhagad Road, specifically in the Niranjan Park section. This business is mostly about knowing who is moving where and what’s available in the local market. It’s a lot of phone calls and walking around to look at properties. We’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit over the years. Buildings go up, shops change names, but we stay in the same spot near Dandia Bazar. Our office is small, filled with files and maps of the local area. It isn't a fancy place with leather chairs, just a desk and a few chairs for when people want to talk about renting or buying. We spend a lot of time explaining the paperwork to people who find it confusing. It’s a lot of legwork, really. Sometimes we’re out half the day showing houses. The traffic on Sinhagad Road can be a nightmare during rush hour, so we plan our visits around that. We don't use big billboards or anything. Most people just walk in because they saw our sign while getting petrol or heading towards the bridge. It’s a simple life, helping neighbors find a place to stay or sell their old spots. We just take things as they come.
