Real estate consulting

Know what you are buying.

NovoTract Consulting helps people buy land or a house in the United States: what to look for, what to check before you pay, and how a purchase works from the first offer to closing day. We don't sell property. We help you buy it well.

  • Land and houses, anywhere in the US
  • Video, phone and email
  • A written quote before you pay

Who we help

For people buying land or a house, often for the first time.

First-time land buyers

Land for a home, a cabin, a farm or recreation, and no idea where to start.

House buyers

A house you want to understand properly before you sign anything.

Buying from far away

A property in another state, or one you cannot visit before you buy.

A second opinion

You found a property and want someone to check it before you pay.

How fees work

Every engagement starts with a written quote in US dollars (USD) that sets out the scope, what you receive and when. Nothing is charged until you accept it. You pay by credit or debit card through Stripe, our payment processor, and your card details go to Stripe, never to us. See our Refund and Cancellation Policy.

Before you pay

What we check on a property, so you are not surprised later.

Most bad purchases come down to something that could have been found before the money moved. These are the questions a property review answers.

  • Zoning and permitted useCan you build a home, park a cabin, farm or subdivide?
  • Legal accessIs there a recorded road or easement, or only a track across a neighbour's land?
  • UtilitiesPower, water, septic or sewer, and roughly what bringing them in involves.
  • Flood zone and terrainThe flood map designation, slope and wetlands that limit what you can do.
  • Taxes and liensThe tax bill, any back taxes, and liens worth asking the title company about.
  • RestrictionsDeed restrictions, HOA rules and covenants that come with the property.
  • Ownership red flagsWhether the seller appears in the public records as the owner, and what to verify.
  • The priceHow the asking price compares with recent sales of similar properties nearby.

Step by step

How it works

You never pay for anything you have not agreed to in writing, and you can stop after the free call.

  1. A free 15-minute call

    Tell us what you want to buy and where. We tell you honestly whether we can help, and which service fits. No payment details are asked for.

  2. A written quote

    We email you the scope, what you will receive, when, and the fee in US dollars. It is yours to accept or decline.

  3. Secure payment

    If you accept, we send a secure Stripe payment link. You pay by card on Stripe's page, and we confirm your booking by email.

  4. We do the work

    Your call, report or guidance is delivered on the timing in your quote, by video call, phone and email. If we cannot deliver it, you get your money back.

Questions

Common questions

How much does it cost?

It depends on the service and the property, so every engagement starts with a written quote in US dollars. The first 15-minute call is free, and nothing is charged until you accept a quote.

How do I pay, and is it secure?

After you accept a quote, we send you a secure payment link from Stripe, our payment processor. You pay by credit or debit card on Stripe's own page. Stripe is certified to the highest level of the card industry's security standard (PCI DSS Level 1), and your card details never reach us.

What will appear on my card statement?

The charge appears under the name NOVOTRACT.

Can I cancel or get a refund?

Yes. For example, a call cancelled at least 24 hours ahead is refunded in full, and a property review cancelled before we start work is refunded in full. The full rules are in our Refund and Cancellation Policy.

How is the service delivered?

Entirely remotely: by video call, phone and email, with written reports sent by email. Nothing is shipped. The timing for each service is on this page and in your quote.

Are you a real estate agent or a broker?

No. We do not list, sell or broker property, we do not represent you in a transaction, and we do not negotiate on your behalf. We give you information and guidance so that you, your agent if you have one, your title company and your attorney can make better decisions.

Where do you work?

We help with property anywhere in the United States. All of our work is done remotely, using public records and the information you share with us.

Who is behind NovoTract Consulting?
