About OBL
Who are we?
OBL Advisory is one of the real estate advisory firms in Mumbai focused on helping buyers navigate high value property decisions with clarity, structure, and confidence. We specialize in premium and luxury residential properties, where every decision has long term financial and lifestyle impact. Unlike traditional brokerage models, we operate as an independent advisory. Our role is not to sell inventory, but to help you evaluate it objectively and in depth. Every recommendation is supported by research, comparison, and practical insight, allowing you to move forward with confidence instead of uncertainty.
As a property investment consulting firm, we work with buyers who want to go beyond surface level information. We simplify complex decisions into clear and comparable factors, helping you understand not just what you are buying, but whether it is the right fit for your needs. Our approach combines market intelligence with real on ground experience. As a premium property consultant, we evaluate projects across multiple parameters such as pricing benchmarks, layout efficiency, usable space, developer track record, and long term value potential.
We also function as a luxury real estate consultant where attention to detail is critical. From view corridors and floor selection to future obstructions and overall liveability, we assess factors that are often overlooked but have a significant impact on your experience and returns. Being an independent property consultant, our guidance remains unbiased and aligned with your interest. We are not driven by inventory targets or sales pressure. Instead, we focus on helping you see clearly across all available options so your final decision is based on logic and understanding. At its core, OBL Advisory is built on a simple idea that in a market full of noise, buyers need clarity more than choices.

about the founder
OBL Advisory is one of the real estate advisory firms in Mumbai, led by Hardik Thakkar, a highly experienced real estate professional with over 18 years of expertise in the luxury residential markets of Mumbai and Dubai. His journey includes working closely with reputed developers such as Lodha, Runwal, Damac, and Bombay Realty, which has given him a practical understanding of how premium projects are conceptualized, priced, and positioned in the market.
He has also held key roles at global real estate consulting firms like JLL and Colliers, where he served as an Associate Director specializing in high value residential segments. This exposure has shaped a structured and research focused approach to property advisory, allowing him to evaluate projects not just from a buyer’s perspective but also with insight into developer strategies and market positioning. As a RERA Certified Agent, he ensures that every recommendation follows a process built on transparency, compliance, and ethical standards.
Over the years, he identified a recurring gap in the market where buyers had access to multiple options but lacked the clarity and framework to evaluate them effectively. This often led to decisions driven by incomplete information or external influence. Recognizing this, he founded OBL Advisory as an independent advisory focused on bringing structure, analysis, and clarity into the decision making process. His approach is centered on helping buyers clearly understand what they are considering, why it fits their requirements, and how it aligns with their long term goals. At OBL Advisory, this philosophy is reflected in a research driven and detail oriented process that enables clients to make confident, well informed decisions in a complex and competitive real estate environment.

What our client say about us
After visiting multiple projects with different brokers, we were completely confused. OBL Advisory brought clarity in one meeting. The comparison of layouts, views, and actual usable space changed how we looked at homes. We finally felt confident about our decision.
What stood out about OBL Advisory was the absence of pressure. Harsh openly advised us against a project we were emotionally inclined towards and explained the risks clearly. That honesty saved us from a costly mistake.
OBL Advisory helped us identify not just the right project, but the right apartment within it. Floor selection, view corridors, and future obstruction risks were things we had never considered earlier. We also secured a better commercial outcome than expected.
This didn’t feel like a transaction, it felt like long-term guidance. Even when we chose to wait and not buy immediately, OBL fully supported that decision. That’s when we knew this was genuine advisory, not brokerage.
