How DealInGroup works: step by step
For many apartment buyers, the idea of “group buying” sounds interesting, but it immediately raises valid questions: who organizes the group, what happens if enough people do not join, whether you are forced to buy, and how negotiation actually works.
DealInGroup was built exactly for these questions and to solve a real market issue: individual buyers often pay more than they should because they act alone and unorganized.
Below is the full DealInGroup process, from your first platform visit to the actual apartment purchase.

How DealInGroup works as an apartment group buying platform
DealInGroup is a real-estate group buying platform that:
- brings together buyers interested in new apartments;
- organizes demand in a structured way;
- negotiates real discounts through volume;
- without removing individual decision-making.
Important: DealInGroup does not sell apartments and does not force anyone to buy.
The problem DealInGroup solves
In the classic market, buyers act individually while developers act in an organized, volume-driven way.
This asymmetry often leads to weaker prices for solo buyers. DealInGroup addresses exactly this imbalance.
Step 1: Enter the platform and explore offers
You enter DealInGroup, check active offers, and explore available projects.
Each offer includes project details, apartment types, price ranges, participation conditions, and discount thresholds (where applicable).
This is an information stage, with no financial commitment.
Step 2: Choose the right offer for you
You choose the project, desired apartment type, and your preferred level of involvement.
At this stage, you are not buying and not signing anything. You are only expressing interest.
Step 3: Join a group
When you join, you enter a group of interested buyers, with no contractual obligation.
It means “I am interested if the price is right,” not “I am obligated to buy.”
Step 4: Build buyer volume
The group grows organically and volume becomes meaningful.
The platform shows transparently how many buyers are in, what discount thresholds may be reached, and the real level of interest.
Step 5: Validate real intent
DealInGroup separates real intent from simple curiosity.
Intentions are validated, superficial participation is filtered out, and actual availability is clarified.
Step 6: Negotiate with the developer
After group formation and validation, DealInGroup negotiates with the developer in volume terms.
Clear, contract-level offers are requested for multiple units at once — this is where real discounts appear.
Step 7: Receive the final group offer
The developer sends negotiated prices and clear terms of application.
The offer is transparent and applicable to all eligible buyers in the group.
Step 8: Individual decision
Each buyer decides individually whether to accept the offer.
If it is advantageous, you continue; if not, you can withdraw. No hidden costs, no artificial pressure.
Step 9: Sign directly with the developer
You sign directly with the developer through a standard individual contract.
DealInGroup is not a party to the contract, does not hold funds, and does not intervene legally in the transaction.
Step 10: Complete the apartment purchase
After signing, the process follows standard steps: payment according to contract, via mortgage or cash, directly to the developer.
The difference is the context in which the offer was obtained: organized, not isolated.
What if the group does not complete
You do not lose anything, you are not obligated, and you can join another group or buy in the classic way.
DealInGroup does not penalize an unfinalized group.
Why DealInGroup is different from real-estate agencies
DealInGroup is not based on classic sales commission and does not push one specific offer.
The platform organizes demand, does not control the buyer’s decision, and does not manufacture urgency.
What DealInGroup does NOT do
- it does not promise the lowest market price in every context;
- it does not guarantee discounts automatically;
- it does not force developers;
- it does not replace personal due diligence.
The platform creates the chance for a better price, not an illusion.
