Your questions, answered

We believe informed clients make confident decisions. Here's what you need to know before we begin working together.

How does the property search process work?

After an initial consultation where we discuss your requirements, budget, and preferred locations, we curate a selection of properties that match your criteria. We then arrange viewings at times that suit your schedule and accompany you to each property to provide context and answer questions on the spot.

What does legal property verification include?

Our legal verification covers title searches, lien checks, zoning compliance, and review of any encumbrances or restrictions on the property. We examine ownership history and ensure all documentation is in order before you commit to a purchase. This process helps identify potential issues that could affect your investment.

How much do your services cost?

Our fees vary depending on the type of service and complexity of the transaction. We provide a clear breakdown of costs during our initial consultation so there are no surprises. Please contact us directly to discuss pricing specific to your situation.

How long does a typical property transaction take?

Timelines vary based on factors like financing arrangements, property type, and the complexity of negotiations. A straightforward purchase typically takes four to eight weeks from accepted offer to closing. We keep you informed at every stage and work to move things along efficiently.

Do you help with both buying and selling properties?

Yes, we support clients on both sides of the transaction. For sellers, we offer market value assessments, professional photography, and listing placement on major real estate platforms. For buyers, we handle property searches, viewings, negotiations, and closing coordination.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in St. John's and primarily serve the greater St. John's area and surrounding communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. If you're looking at properties outside our usual service area, please reach out and we can discuss whether we can assist.

Can you help with rental properties?

Yes, our services extend to rental transactions as well. Whether you're a tenant looking for the right space or a landlord seeking reliable renters, we can assist with the search, negotiations, and lease agreements.

What happens at notary transaction support?

We coordinate with the notary to prepare all necessary documentation and ensure both parties have reviewed the terms. On signing day, we attend alongside you to answer any last-minute questions and verify that everything proceeds smoothly. This support helps reduce stress during what can be a complex final step.

How do I get started working with Pristiqa?

The first step is a consultation, which you can arrange by phone, email, or visiting our office. During this meeting, we'll discuss your goals, timeline, and any specific requirements. From there, we outline a plan tailored to your needs.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept bank transfers, certified cheques, and other standard payment methods. Specific payment terms and schedules are discussed and agreed upon before services begin. We provide invoices and receipts for all transactions.

Can I cancel or pause services if my plans change?

We understand that circumstances evolve. If you need to pause or end our engagement, please let us know as soon as possible. We'll discuss any outstanding work and ensure a smooth transition. Specific terms depend on the services already rendered.

What languages do you offer services in?

Our primary language of service is English. If you require assistance in another language, please let us know during your initial inquiry and we will do our best to accommodate your needs or connect you with appropriate resources.

How is my market value assessment conducted?

We analyze recent comparable sales in your area, current market conditions, and your property's specific features and condition. This research-based approach provides a realistic price range rather than an inflated estimate, helping you make informed decisions about listing or negotiating.
