efficient.”

“I have been a regular investor with SmartOwner, what I am impressed with is the importance they give to
the due diligence be it legal or financial or the capabilities of the developer and I am also impressed with
the quality of projects they are funding.”

“Liquidity is a huge advantage in the SmartOwner model. 18-30 months is the typical exit period, much
shorter than any other real estate instrument available in the market today. What’s more, during the
duration of the project, curation and vetting is completely the onus of the SmartOwner team.”
Dhiraj Deore
Private Banker, HDFC Bank
"I did a lot of research before deciding to invest in real estate, but realized that even with the best of
builders, there are a lot of things that can go wrong. When I met the representative from SmartOwner, I
realized that their team negotiates with the builders to protect a client’s investment from every eventuality.
I feel much safer now when I invest through SmartOwner."
