Legally, no. In practice, almost invariably yes. A buyer's broker represents your interests, not the seller's, and the seller typically pays the commission. There is no cost to you in retaining a broker who has navigated the process hundreds of times.
Anticipate two to five months from our initial conversation to closing. We proceed at the pace that suits you — whether you are ready to decide or still refining your criteria.
In Québec, every individual licensed by the OACIQ is officially a real estate broker (courtier immobilier). "Agent" is an informal term for the same role. There is no substantive difference.
I visit your property, review it with you, and deliver a comparative market analysis: recent sales, current competing listings, and a clear reading of what your property is worth today.
Yes, I am fully bilingual. I work between the two languages daily. Please use whichever language is more comfortable for you.
It depends on your priorities. Rosemont, Verdun, Villeray and portions of Côte-des-Neiges continue to offer options for first-time buyers. For condominiums, Griffintown and the Sud-Ouest are frequent entry points. We will narrow the options together based on your routine and budget.
Montréal's plex market is often suited to owner-occupants. You occupy one unit and tenants contribute to the mortgage. Québec tenant legislation is a material factor, and I will guide you through it before any offer is presented.
Centris is the Québec equivalent of MLS. Every brokered listing in the province appears there. Centris.ca is the public site; brokers access the same inventory through the professional Centris platform.
For buyers, there is typically no cost; the seller pays the commission at closing. For sellers, we review the structure openly during your complimentary evaluation — there is no fine print.
