NovAsia Experts, Team and Partners

Behind NovAsia are specific people and organisations with different areas of responsibility: local property work in Cambodia, client support, management and resale, editorial review, international transfers, technical infrastructure and digital promotion. We do not merge all of these under one vague word, "expert" — each card makes clear who works directly with the buyer, who is the local partner, who supports the editorial, payment or technical side, and where a person's or organisation's responsibility ends.

How the roles are divided

Each has their own area of responsibility, while you deal with one team:

Experts and editorial materials

NovAsia's specialists and partners help the team check information within their real area of work. This does not mean each of them authors or personally reviews every article: public materials are attributed to the NovAsia editorial team as a group, and specific involvement is noted separately when it actually took place.

For more on how we research topics, use AI, check sources and correct materials, see our editorial policy.

How the team joins the buyer's task

1. First contact. The buyer states the goal, budget range, timing and the project or district of interest. The main contact is Valeria Lezhenina.
2. Selection and comparison. Valeria coordinates the shortlist and gathers the current terms; if a local comment or on-the-ground work in Phnom Penh is needed, Elvira is brought in.
3. Checking current terms. Price, availability, layout, payment schedule and the developer's programme are re-confirmed for the specific unit. A public project page does not replace current confirmation before booking.
4. Work on the ground. A viewing, site visit or a separate operation is coordinated with Elvira, a developer representative or Pointer Property — depending on the task and prior arrangement.
5. Contract and payments. The SPA terms, construction, handover and any contractual income, instalment or buy-back programmes are the responsibility of the developer and the parties named in the documents. NovAsia explains the structure of the process but does not replace independent legal, tax or banking checks.

The limits of the team's responsibility

NovAsia and the participants listed on this page:

• do not guarantee returns, rental income, capital growth or a future resale;
• do not replace an independent lawyer, tax advisor or bank;
• do not treat a public price as confirmed for any unit and any date;
• do not extend the terms of one project to the whole Cambodian market;
• do not present a marketing programme as a NovAsia obligation;
• do not automatically involve Pointer Property or another partner in every enquiry.

Before booking, the price, availability, payment recipient and document terms must be re-checked for the specific offer.

Frequently asked questions about the team

Who answers the first enquiry?

The buyer's main contact is Valeria Lezhenina. She clarifies the task and coordinates bringing in Elvira, a developer representative or a local partner.

Who works with properties in Phnom Penh?

Local expertise and on-the-ground work may be provided by Elvira Shamuratova. For specific operations, Pointer Property or another participant named before the work begins may be involved.

Is Pointer Property part of NovAsia?

No. Pointer Property is a separate real estate agency and a local partner for specific tasks. NovAsia is not its division or official representation.

Does every expert review every article?

No. A specific involvement is stated only when the person actually worked on the material. Otherwise a publication is attributed to the NovAsia editorial team as a whole.

Who confirms the price, availability and project terms?

Current commercial terms are requested from the developer or a named source for the specific offer. The SPA terms and contractual programmes are set by the documents of the relevant party, not by an expert profile on the site.
