Yes, every time, I visit Kolte-Patil Developers' Ivy Estate at Wagholi, I come to the same conclusion.
Ivy Estate is the best township for raising a family.
Not because of the location.
Not because of the builder.
Not because of the size of the township - 85 acres.
Not because of the amenities.
Not because of the property rates.
Or not because of the salespersons - my old friends.
But, only because of the residents of Ivy Estate.
I love & admire residents of Ivy Estate.
These guys are enlightened, assertive & proactive.
No wonder, I felt like meeting them all. Know how they are doing.
And write a first blog of 2015 on them.
Like I did in 2014.

However, since, this is a news blog, I am supposed to share what is happening in Pune real estate market.

So, here is the news - soon, mostly in a month's time, Kolte-Patil Developers Ltd. (www.koltepatil.com) is launching the 2nd phase of Ivy Estate Wagholi. In the 2nd phase there will be 1 BHK, 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats. And, may be, the last row of Row Houses, too.

My old friend, Mr. Fahim Khan, Sr. Manager - Sales,
not only shared this news with me but gave me quick tour of Ivy Estate.
Reminding me - Ravi Karandeekar, your job is to help the property buyers to buy a home in Pune. Repeating at frequent intervals - Ivy Estate is the best township in Wagholi.
Insisting & ordering - Ravi, do write positive about Ivy Estate.
Highlighting - Look at the open spaces. Look at the ready & operational amenities Look how happy the residents are.

I visited the sales office only because I couldn't meet any residents. I was almost going to tell Fahim.

Residents of Ivy Estate, how are you doing? Is everything fine?

On a cloudy cold Saturday afternoon, I was at Ivy Estate for a while.
I have been to Ivy Apartments, Umang Homes, Umang Primo & Umang Premiere.
But, couldn't find anyone in the clubhouse. I was disappointed.
All what I wanted to know was
- Residents of Ivy Estate, how are you doing? Is everything fine?
But there was nobody to talk.
Should I make phone calls or knock the doors.
I was in two minds.

Then it struck me - OMG! For those who wish to book a flat in Ivy Estate
- how difficult it would be to get a feedback from the residents, who are already staying in the project!

Without authentic information from the residents - the visitor has to take a decision solely on the sales talk of the salespersons. Or accept advertising as the ultimate truth. Or force himself to accept that bigger is better. Limited - listed company - is trustworthy. Brand is an assurance - the promise.

Let us go and experience the sales talk. I told myself & entered the sales office of Ivy Estate. Fortunately, the receptionist didn't know me. After all, in 2014, whenever I was at Ivy Estate, I had met only the residents. Never visited the sales office.

When the receptionist was telling me - Mr. Ram Amate, marketing manager of Ivy Estate, is busy in a meeting - Fahim Khan saw me. Took my charge. Gave me the trip of Ivy Estate. With commentry and commands about what & how I should write.

I don't write Ravi Karandeekar's Pune Real Estate Market News Blog to promote a project or a builder. I said.

I know that. But, sometimes, you are negative and sarcastic. Said Fahim.

Sometimes. And you know when. Why. You were with KUL Ecoloch & KUL Nation. Otherwise, you would have avoided me. I said.

How can I do that? We know each other for so long! From Kumar Properties. Fahim said.

For you - for our long friendship - I swear - I will not let you down. I said.

Not fair! Don't you think that Ivy Estate is the best project in Wagholi? Fahim asked.

Dedication & sincerity! Fahim, that's what I like about you!! When I was in advertising - I was also like you. I used to believe in my clients - the builders - & their projects. But, not anymore. Now, I look at it from buyers' point of view. So, sometimes, you find me negative. That's all. I said.

I agree. Now, I will present facts. Let us go and have a look. Fahim said and took me on a tour of Ivy Estate.

Is Ivy Estate the best township in Wagholi?

Bhima River Water Filtration Plant at Ivy Estate - Kolte-Patil Developers to launch 2nd Phase of Ivy Estate at Wagholi, Pune, India

First phase of Ivy Estate - approximately 40 acres - construction complete.
Possession given.
More than 600 flats occupied.
Shops opened.
Lots of open space.
Wide roads.
Amenities ready & operational.
From 1 BHK to Row Houses - available.
Reasonable property rates.
Electric sub-station operational.
Teething troubles over.
Streamlined maintenance & management operations.
Community life is vibrant.
Pre-school facility available.
Easy connectivity with EON IT Park.
The proposed road goes through the project.
And proposed school & polyclinic at Ivy Estate.

Pointing at the water filtration plant, Fahim said, and the most important USP of Ivy Estate - Water from Bhima River! Water has reached Ivy Estate. Testing is going on. Soon, we will start water supply. Till then - look at this RO Plant - water from some 50 - 60 tankers is processed and supplied to the residents every day.

Don't you think that these facts make Ivy Estate - the best township in Wagholi? Were the last words of Fahim.

There was no point in telling Fahim that property buying decision is not solely based on the location, property prices, specifications & amenities. These are primary parameters. Ultimate parameter is the terms of transaction.

Why Fahim? Even most of the first time buyers also don't know how to make a home buying decision. Only those who have bought a home know the importance of the terms of transaction. That's why I was there. To get the authentic feedback from the residents about buying & living in Ivy Estate.

How to deal with Kolte-Patil Developers:

However, the time was up. I had to go home. So, I started walking. Still, I haven't given up. Just outside the main entrance - I saw a young man with his parents. I went to them and asked - Are you staying here?

"No. We were here to enquire" the young man said.

"Same here!," I said and continued walking.

"Hello Ravi Karandeekar!," at the entrance of Ivy Botanica, one young man greeted me.

"Nice meeting you! I had lost hope. I was here to meet you all. Curious to know how you all are doing!," I said.

"Come on in. Some of us are here," he said and took me in Botanica.

"How are you all doing?, " addressing all, I said.

"We are fine. In Ivy Estate - Botanica is always doing better than others!," someone said and explained how & why -

When you buy a home at Wagholi, you have to accept that water is going to be an issue. Selling water is the major source of income of the local leaders. Water Lords will not spare even a builder. They will try their best to prevent him from getting water pipe line. So, till the amicable solution - tanker water is a reality. You have to accept the consequences & agree to pay the price.

Communication with the builder is very important. Cooperation is must. When communication & cooperation exist - both sides are ready to compromise. We don't fight with eachother. Because, interest is mutual. Kolte-Patil wants to sell the flats and run the project. We want to own a home & live in the project. We treated KPDL - Kolte-Patil Developers Ltd. - like we treat a guy in our team at work. We point the mistakes - suggest the changes - insist on certain things - but, without insulting, blaming & fighting. We are never in combative mood. At Botanica - it's never KPDL v/s flat buyers. So, we receiv better response from the builder's management team.

So, we, the residents of Ivy Botanica, are doing well. We are involved in the management of the project. We are enjoying living together. Having good time.

Why was this possible? I asked.

May be - because, we are more mature. Are at better position in our careers. Know how to present our points & get the things done. May be. A resident of Ivy Botanica said.

"One community. Many flavours," pointing at the slogan printed on the Ivy Estate's paper bag in my hand, someone said.

Truly, Ivy Estate is the best township for raising a family! I told myself and requested them for a photo.
