HomeShikari is not merely a real estate platform, but has a much wider range of services that are geared to assist clients in every aspect of a real estate transaction.

TTK Services Pvt. Ltd., the founding company behind TTK Property Services Pvt. Ltd. and the brand HomeShikari has been providing extensive assistance to NRI clients on many complex property matters since 2000. It has a very strong field experience in handling every kind of property transaction on ground. In fact, hundreds of NRIs manage their tenanted homes by proxy through our service in India. The level of trust that our clients have in us is manifested by the fact that many of them handle their real estate transactions in India without their presence, by giving us specific power of attorneys.

We are bringing these services to resident Indians as well now. They are referred to as Value Added Services because they are distinct from our listing services.

We are working on our storefront for the Value Added Services. Since most of it is customized according to client requirements, we currently work on an enquiry-quote basis. You can send an enquiry from this page

We have a separate team that is experienced at handling these services.

They are definitely very useful for NRIs and people residing outside of their home cities especially when they want to sell their property, rent it out or manage a tenant. However, we think it is pretty useful for anyone who does not have the time to do it themselves even if they reside within.

Our tenancy related services includes tenant management, tenant verification, lease / rental agreements and inspection of property and inventory check at the time of vacation.

Our property monitoring service acts as a preventive measure to ensure no encroachments or misuse of property. Regular inspection and making it known that the property is being monitored by a reputed company actively deters any prospective encroachers or squatters. In our long experience with encroachments, we clearly see a pattern where people attempt to encroach only when they see that the property is unmonitored or belongs to someone who seldom visits the property. So by actively taking on that role with the corporate backing of a big brand, our monitoring service does act as a good deterrent against encroachment. In the event, that we come across encroachment while under our monitoring service we will extend every support to fight against it legally and ensure that your hard earned money is not lost.

With respect to eviction, we have successfully handled many cases legally on behalf of our clients with support from our empanelled lawyers. This can be a slow and annoying process. But we do not and cannot adopt any illegal means of eviction. So there are no shortcuts here. Prevention is key.

We extend buying / selling assistance to people who have already identified a property to buy and have settled on a price but need help with all the paper work. So it is very different from brokerage because we don't charge any commission based on the value of the transaction. We merely charge a standard fee for assisting you with things such as procurement of certain documentation to complete the transaction, title documents, agreements, registration of documents and transfer of ownership of ancillary services (electricity, water) etc.

Primary focus of this service is to ease the hassle and safeguard your interests. So we are not working to push a transaction through. We would not hesitate to request you to call off a transaction if we strongly believe that it will jeopardize your interests in any way. That primarily is the big difference.

No ads, no brokerage, no spam. Ad and brokerage based models force consumers to choose items that give the company the biggest profits. That means that your requirements are not paramount. We are unbiased. We want you to choose what suits your requirements best. Our platform brings listers and searchers in contact with each other directly. We are not involved in any negotiations and do not represent any single party. In the case of our value added services, we solely represent the client and their interests and nothing else. The size of the deal or the price does not matter to us.

We want to empower you to make the best decision by providing clear and trustworthy information and assist you in carrying out your decision.

We don't have ads because we don't want to force our users to view specific properties. Searchers choose what suits them. HomeShikari is a market place where anyone can list and everyone gets treated the same. As for income, listers pay a fee for every 3 months their verified listing is live. We also charge for our various value added services.

Sorry, we are currently only available in Bangalore. But we are going to be launching in other cities soon. Please do come back and check for our launch announcements in other cities.

Long Answer: The vast majority of online real estate listings in India are either incorrect or incomplete, sometimes intentionally. They are used as bait to get your contact information. Searchers waste time, effort and money just driving around seeing hundreds of properties. Listers can't compete with other unscrupulous types and have to fall back on brokers.

To solve this trust problem, we came up with Verified Listings. With each Verified Listing, HomeShikari field executives visit the property. They take the photographs and video walk through. They measure all the rooms. They create a floor plan and upload everything. So what you see is what you get. Searchers get trustworthy information. Listers share a transparent unbiased platform. Everyone saves time and money.

No, we do not verify the title or do legal vetting when we do a verified listing. It is impossible to check the ownership credentials for every property especially when the listing and verification fee is so small. So the scope of the verified listing is restricted to the physical attributes of the property, the exact location of the property (geo-tagged) and its physical features.

Once you have chosen a property and agreed on a price for a sale / rent and if you want to do an independent title search or check on the ownership credentials then you can use our value added services such as buying assistance, tenancy / lease agreement services to take care of this.

You can only edit the asking price and a few other limited fields. If you edit any other fields, you will lose the Verified Tag.

Don't worry, adequate alerts are provided to safeguard Verified Listers from accidentally editing anything you shouldn't. If you spot an error, call us on 080-30474444 or contact our support team

Passwords are sent instantly on an automated basis. However delivery by email is sometimes subject to delay between different mail servers.
