The portal is designed for the all industry stakeholders with a powerful backend platform which manages and displays the most accurate inventory data in the market, and allows buyers to book their flats directly online,” said Niranjan Hiranandani, national president of National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO).

Customers will be immediately notified if any units they have shortlisted are already sold.

HousingForAll.Com is yet another effort in garnering support of today’s smart consumer, who wish to buy in quality projects. This way, developers have a platform, where homebuyers will have an option to buy from some of the finest projects of reputed developers,” said Rajeev Talwar, Chairman, NAREDCO.
