I fell for it but please do not purchase any plan form them. Sales guys give all false commitments to just lure you. Once you pay money they don’t bother to contact you in your time zone also. Nothing happens ahead and I didn’t get a single lead to sell my property in Mumbai.

99Acres makes false promises & provides dummy leads
There is no way to write a scathing enough negative review of 99Acres. Both they and their main competitor MagicBricks are masters of false promises and providing false leads. Let me recount my experience with 99Acres.
1. After I fell for is sales pitch of an updated package for 3 properties I wanted to sell, they first made me pay for the ad, after which they took almost 2 weeks just to get the ads up. So, this is the first flag you should look for. If you want to put up an ad or at least a paid ad, make sure they FIRST draft the ad EXACTLY the way you want it. Only after you are satisfied with the copy of the ads and the pictures are verified and approved by them, should you pay for the ad. Otherwise, you will pay for a 1 month or 2 month package and lose at least 2 weeks of that ad spend because 99Acres cannot get their act together. Their content team is so bad that they cannot even put in the name of a place as a noun, for example, Delhi is put as delhi or Kochi is kochi. They are very unprofessional.
2. The next big issue is the number of false or dummy leads they send you. When you start getting leads from them, you begin to think they are effective. But I noticed very quickly that at least 70% of the leads they send you are not related to your ad at all. Instead, they are just general leads of people who may simply have come on to the site and looked at another similar property. Another 20% of the responses or leads are completely dummy leads of people who have not even looked at an ad on 99Acres. It is obvious 99Acres just puts in the numbers of these people as fillers to make it seem they are getting you leads. Many of these people are harassed by sellers who call them asking if they are interested in buying property. It is a MAJOR problem with 99Acres.
3. Finally, only 10% of ad responses are actual responses related directly to the ad you placed. So, consider this before you place a paid ad. All in all, 99Acres is a pure scam that is absolutely shameless and unethical. However, given there is little recourse to justice, or there alternatives, you have no choice but to place an ad. You have o just hope that you will get at least one lead who will buy you property and therefore make back the money you spend on this unethical organisation.

Please do not fall in the trap of paid premium services, they won't ful fill any promise as soon as they receive the money. They make so many calls to buy us premium package by making so many false promises but don't deliver nothing. Pls post your property only for free. Do not lose your hard earned money.

99Acres - SCAMMERS
Beware of fraudulent practices! I purchased their premium service package valued at Rs. 14,000 to sell my apartment. This package promised a 4-month timeline for property sale and included various services such as social media promotion, email marketing, advertisements, personal calls, lead generation, and the exclusion of brokers.
However, within just 15 days, they abruptly ceased all social media services. Despite my explicit instruction to exclude brokers and only work through my designated relationship manager (RM), they shared my contact details with brokers without consent.
Their initial promises about package details and services were grossly inaccurate. I patiently waited for 2.5 months for them to sell my property, but they consistently failed to take any meaningful action.
Initially, my RM assured me of weekly updates on leads and progress. However, after numerous complaints, she reluctantly agreed to provide updates twice a week. Despite this assurance, I found myself constantly chasing her for updates, highlighting a clear lack of professionalism and commitment.
Even after escalating the issue to her manager, the outcome remained disappointing. It became evident that their entire team operates with a lack of integrity, making them nothing short of scam artists.
Their refusal to provide a refund further underscores their deceitful practices. They continuously make false promises, wasting both time and money.
In summary, dealing with this platform is a lesson in frustration and disappointment. They lure you in with promises of quality service but fail to deliver, leaving customers stranded and out of pocket. Beware of their deceptive tactics and avoid falling victim to their scams at all costs.
I have all call recordings as a proof that will prove they did not provide any service to me worth RS 14000, they also not provided any refund amount till now.
Do not recommend it.

Unsatisfying experience
Unsatisfying experience, paid subscription gives fake leads RM are always working on it no results not even a single genuine leads or inquiry. Once you pay for subscription no support team from 99acres will help you, not even attend the call or give a call back. Waste of time and money.

Such a pathetic platform where you…
Such a pathetic platform where you can’t self verify your property because it is only supported on android and not iOS. Even if you buy a paid plan they still won’t verify because they don’t support that area or you need to buy the most expensive plan. Finally they won’t even refund it even if your property remains unverified. Their solution is that you buy an android phone and go to the property and then verify it.
