Define
Selling a place that does not exist yet: a rendering, a masterplan, a life that starts after handover.
Mechanism
Future as product. Trust, progress imagery, and a named future self do the work a show unit cannot. Risk language must stay honest.
Verdict
Real estate or a long-lead project where the buyer is buying a plan, not a key today.
Don't
A finished unit. If they can walk the floor, demonstrate the floor. Do not sell fog when there is a door.
