👉 You get access to collective buying power that can save you lakhs on your purchase.
• Join collectives and unlock significantly better prices
• Save anywhere from ₹10 lakhs to ₹1 Cr+ depending on your budget
• Get end-to-end support — from booking to handover, including legal and documentation

‍2. How much can I save through POBO?
‍👉 Your savings scale with your purchase value — and they are substantial.
• ₹1–2 Cr budget → typically ₹10–25 lakhs saved
• ₹5–10 Cr budget → typically ₹50 lakhs to ₹1.5 Cr saved

‍3. How does POBO get good deals from developers?
‍👉 By bringing serious buyers together and negotiating as one.
• Developers value assured demand
• POBO aggregates buyers into a single collective
• A transparent, flat 1% fee model ensures alignment — no hidden incentives

‍4. What is POBO Shield and how does it help me?
‍👉 You are protected — before and after you buy.
• Before you buy:
Only vetted, legally reviewed, and financially sound projects are listed
• After you buy:
If a developer defaults, POBO activates strong legal support for members
👉 You are never alone — you are part of a collective from Day 1

5. Why is there a paid membership?
‍👉 To ensure only serious buyers form the collective.
• Filters out non-serious participants
• Keeps demand genuine and reliable
• Helps POBO negotiate better outcomes for committed buyers

‍6. What is the difference between Complimentary and Paid membership?
‍👉 Only paid members get full access and real opportunities.
• Paid members:
o Can join collectives
o Get access to exclusive and flash inventory
• Complimentary members:
o Cannot join collectives
o Do not receive full access to opportunities

‍7. What does lifetime membership mean?
‍👉 You join once — and benefit forever.
• Access POBO collectives for every future property purchase
• No renewals, no recurring fees

‍8. Is my membership valid even after I have bought once through POBO?
‍👉 Yes. Your membership never expires.
• Use POBO again for future purchases
• Continue benefiting from collective buying power

‍9. Is my membership transferable?
‍👉 No. Membership is linked to you and is non-transferable.

‍10. Is the membership fee refundable?
‍👉 No. The membership fee is non-refundable.
• It is a one-time lifetime fee
• Our focus is on delivering value far greater than the fee
• The economics are designed to benefit serious buyers, not casual visitors

11. Does POBO charge any commission from me when I buy?
‍👉 No. You don’t pay any brokerage or commission.
• POBO charges a flat 1% fee from developers
• No hidden charges, no exceptions

‍12. Where does POBO earn from?
‍👉 Only from developers — and only when we deliver value.
• Transparent 1% conversion fee
• No earnings from buyers
• Fully aligned incentives

‍13. Is POBO a real estate brokerage firm?
‍👉 No. POBO represents buyers — not sellers.
• We are a buyers’ aggregation platform
• Our goal is to help individuals buy like institutions
• We work in your interest, not the developer’s

‍14. Can developers influence POBO’s decisions?
‍👉 No. The model is designed to prevent that.
• Fixed, transparent fee structure
• No room for incentives or bias
• Buyer trust comes first — always

15. Am I obligated to buy if I participate in a collective?
‍👉 No. You decide at every stage.
• POBO reconfirms your intent before moving forward
• Nothing proceeds without your approval

‍16. What happens after I join a collective?
‍👉 Nothing happens without your confirmation. You stay in control at every step.
• Once you join, you receive a confirmation of your participation
• As more members join, you’ll be notified of progress toward the required group size
• When the collective is complete, POBO will contact you to reconfirm your intent
• Only after your confirmation does anything move forward

17. Do I make payments for my property through POBO?
‍👉 No. You pay directly to the developer.
• Payments go to the developer’s RERA escrow account
• POBO never holds or handles your property funds
• We support and guide — not control your money

‍18. What is the 1% commitment fee?
‍👉 You don’t pay anything upfront. This is only a proof of serious intent — not a payment.
• The 1% commitment is a post-dated cheque in the developer’s name
• It is held securely by POBO and not handed over or used at this stage
• It helps POBO negotiate better prices and terms on behalf of serious buyers

‍19. When does the commitment fee get encashed?
‍👉 Only after you’ve signed your agreement with the developer. Not before.
• Your cheque is used only after you have personally decided to proceed
• This happens after signing your individual agreement directly with the developer
• Until then, your money remains untouched

‍20. What happens to my commitment fee if negotiations fail?
‍👉 If the deal doesn’t go through, your cheque is simply returned or cancelled.
• You retain full control over your cheque at all times
• POBO will act strictly based on your written instructions
• No money is used or transferred at any point

21. How does POBO ensure members don’t back out?
‍👉 Through a structured commitment process.
• Intent is reconfirmed once the collective is filled
• A 1% commitment cheque is taken only after reconfirmation
• This ensures only serious buyers move forward

‍22. What if I change my mind after negotiations succeed?
‍👉 You still have options — you’re not locked in immediately.
• Backing out after a successful negotiation may lead to forfeiture of the commitment fee
• However, before agreements are signed, you can use a special exit option called TYBA (Transfer Your Benefit Auction)
👉 This allows you to:
• transfer your position to another member
• recover your commitment
• exit without loss (subject to matching demand)

‍23. What is the Transfer Your Benefit Auction (TYBA)?
‍👉 TYBA is your safety net — it helps you exit without losing your commitment.

‍When does it apply?
• After the group deal is successfully negotiated
• Before individual agreements are signed

‍How it works:
• You inform POBO that you want to exit
• Other interested members are notified
• A replacement buyer takes your place in the collective

‍What happens to you:
• You recover your commitment cheque
• You exit the deal without loss (if a match is found)

‍Additional details:
• Transfer can happen at negotiated price, premium, or discount
• POBO charges a transparent fee of 0.01% of unit price

24. Can I resell after signing my agreement with the developer?
‍👉 Yes. Once you buy, it’s completely your decision.
• You are the owner — you can sell or hold as you choose
• POBO has no restrictions on your ownership decisions
• We continue to support you until possession, regardless of your choice

25. Does POBO verify the RERA registration of projects?
‍👉 Yes — and we go beyond just RERA.
• Every project is reviewed by our legal research team
• Financial and legal checks are conducted before listing
• RERA is just the starting point

26. Does POBO deal in resale apartments?
‍👉 No. We focus only on developer inventory.
• Ready-to-move
• Under-construction
• New launches

‍27. In which cities can I currently buy through POBO?
‍👉 Currently active across NCR.
• Gurgaon, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Yamuna Expressway
• Expansion to other Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities is underway

‍28. What happens if POBO shuts down after I join?
‍👉 Your property investment remains completely safe.
• You pay directly to the developer — not POBO
• Your agreement is with the developer
• Your legal rights remain fully intact
👉 POBO is never a custodian of your funds

‍29. I am a developer. How do I list my project?
‍👉 We welcome serious developer partnerships.
• Write to: onboarding@pobo.club
• Our team will connect with you

‍30. Has POBO closed any collectives yet?
