No matters what "luxury" means to you, we will help you find it.

Living Luxury is an online lifestyle magazine and luxury real estate consultancy for discerning, globally-minded Indian clients. We tell stories about the people, places, and experiences that create moments of luxury in modern life. We also help our consulting clients discover, analyse, and purchase luxury real estate through our proprietary, technology-driven approach. Our MahaRERA number is: A5210002943

We believe:

that every single person, and every single family deserves to find moments of “luxury” in their lives.

We understand that “luxury” means something uniquely different to each human being – from enriching experiences, to financial growth – but that the ultimate luxury is time. Time spent with your loved ones. Time spent alone. Time engaged in the pursuits that make life worthwhile, doing the things you want to do, and not the things you have to. Our online magazine seeks to document the stories of the people, places, and experiences that add moments of genuine luxury to life. Our real estate consulting division seeks to modernise the process of discovering, analyzing, and purchasing a luxury home. We always seek to understand our clients: on a personal, intellectual, financial, and emotional level, and to save them time: through our unique, modern approach to real estate consulting – which brings together our proprietary technology, detailed data gathering process, rich content creation, and rigorous due diligence.

Real Estate Consulting

It's 2024. We believe modern Indian clients deserve a modern real estate consultancy. That means: no wild goose chases, no unverified properties, and no pointless meetings. We match unique people to unique properties through our, proprietary, data-driven approach to real estate discovery. Our clients are discerning property seekers who want to browse before they buy. How do we do this?

Our Process:

Discover, Document, Analyze

We are building the largest database of verified properties in Goa – a central, consolidated source of truth about all the available properties, from land, to villas, townhouses and premium apartments... It is our endeavor to show our clients every property on the market, through our proprietary software experience. Our clients can shortlist properties online, after which we schedule offline site visits, to help them touch and feel their future home (or investment). We follow a three-step process, transforming real estate inventory gathering from an art into a science. 1) Discover
Our team is constantly discovering new properties to add to our database, conducting rigorous market research through a variety of online and offline sources. 2) Document
We document every property in painstaking detail, creating a listing record that combines visual, financial, legal, architectural, and financial information across hundreds of data fields.
We always save our clients’ time by doing our homework, prior to presenting any property. We make all of our property research available to our buyer and investor clients. 3) Analyze
Our proprietary software allows us to compare properties, across quantitative and qualitative metrics – so that we can help you definitively answer the question: which is the best property for my unique needs?

Why Choose Us?

You want to feel secure knowing that you are aware of every property on the marke – but that you only have to visit the properties that have passed our strict due diligence tests. You need a modern real estate consulting firm – more organised, and more efficient, than any other, with a team that presents information in a simple, understandable way, on the devices you use. You value your time and want to work with an agency that respects your time as much as you do.

Our Business Model:

Incentives matter.

Agents are incentivised to promote properties for which they will receive the highest possible commission. Different agents offer different inventory. The result is a mix of property investment options that can be confusing, or even overwhelming. We are here to help you cut through the information overload. Transparent incentives lead to transparent service. That’s why we invoice our buyer and investor clients for a 2% success fee for transactions that we help them execute. In doing so, we align our incentives with those of our buyers. This in turn allows us to collaborate with many other trusted agents, expanding our inventory so that we can offer our clients all the properties on the market.

We protect our clients by harnessing:

Data

We collect data related to specific properties and focus localities, allowing us to quantify the present and future market value of a real estate asset.

Digital Content

Photos, Videos, and Digital Marketing Materials that accurately communicate the current condition of our clients’ properties.

Due Diligence

We create a holistic legal, financial, and operational analysis of any real estate asset. We protect our clients by verifying every official record related to their property purchases.

Storytelling

We understand the story of each family and every property, weaving a narrative that enhances the emotional value of a property, helping it find its next stewards.

Client Testimonials

Independent Villa in North Goa

Pictured: Architectural Render

“We spent much of the last two years interacting with over 15 brokers and agents in North Goa.
After spending about three months conducting due diligence on a land parcel we were considering, we realised that our requirement would be better fulfilled if we purchased a villa from a reputed developer.
Kunal and Vikram were able to help us sift through the noise and reassure us that we had made the right choice for our family given my requirements and budget.
We eventually decided to invest in a corner villa in a gated community with a beautiful field view.
Kunal helped us work through the cost sheet proposed by the developer, and, since construction began, has been in constant touch with the developer’s sales team to ensure that our proposed amendments to the original proposed design are being adhered to.”

Settlement Land in North Goa

“Since the post-pandemic property boom, I have been seeking to acquire a piece of land that matches my requirements.
As an investor, I share the same long-term view on North Goa as Vikram. While I continued to run my business in Pune, Kunal and Savio were in constant touch with me to evaluate new investment opportunities.
Shivam conducted regular site visits, and shared high-quality drone video and photo content that helped me understand which properties were worth my time to consider. I then visited Goa for important site visits and owner meetings.
Their communication ensured that I was always kept informed whenever any risks occurred, and their network of local surveyors, lawyers, and liaisoning consultants meant that I trusted them to protect me when acquiring a beautiful piece of land with a field view.”

Ultra Luxury Villa in North Goa

“After understanding my requirements and previous frustration over the phone, I met Kunal at Gunpowder in Assagao while on vacation in Goa from Delhi.
His close relationships with architects and boutique developers in Goa meant that the very first property he showed me was the one I chose to purchase (and by far the most desirable opportunity I’d seen in 7 months of ‘property shopping’ in North Goa).
His people management skills helped me negotiate tactfully with the developer as I sought to purchase my dream property and solve a capital gains issue. Construction began in March 2022 and I am expecting to move in by January 2024”
