The period of 2016-2017 was a watershed period for the Real Estate Industry when 𝟑 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 happened. I often refer to them as the 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝗸𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻𝘆 of Real Estate Evolution as history will look back at these changes as equally iconic as the namesake movie.

▶️𝙍𝙀𝙍𝘼 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 “𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐫”: The RERA law introduced in May 16 was brought to regulate the entire eco system protecting the rights of consumers and bringing accountability to developers and agents.

▶️𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙎𝙏”𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲”: One of the most iconic tax laws which helped in streamlining tax structures and bringing unprecedented transparency in the overall economy.
