Residential advisory · 2026
NovaKey Realty works like an institutional desk: clear underwriting on every listing, disclosure-first diligence, and a single accountable thread from search to close—without the theatrical open-house playbook.
Pick a location and property type, add keywords if you like, then open everything that matches.
Buyer advisory mandates typically price at 2.0%–2.75% of executed consideration on acquisitions above $1.2M (market- and complexity-dependent). Seller-side listings are most often quoted 4.5%–5.5% all-in, covering architectural photography, disclosure counsel coordination, and transaction management. Every engagement starts with a written scope—not a handshake at a staging preview.
Three operating principles borrowed from institutional capital — applied to homes, not spreadsheets.
We decline more than we publish. What you see has cleared a minimum diligence bar: title flags, rent-roll integrity where relevant, and seller representation we can stand behind.
Asking prices are stress-tested against trailing trades, active competition, and forward supply—not optimism. You get the memo before you write the check.
Tours, escrow, and counter-parties are orchestrated so your name stays off the marquee until you want it there. Speed when it matters; silence when it doesn’t.
Five senior associates cover US time zones. One line is staffed live during market hours—no chatbot tree, no offshore script.
