The Montreal Market Requires a Strategy

Montreal's real estate market is competitive, fast-moving, and highly neighbourhood-specific. A condo in Ville-Marie and a single-family home in Westmount require completely different approaches - different price dynamics, different offer tactics, different due diligence.

My background in finance and investment gives me an analytical edge most brokers don't have. I assess every property through a value lens - not just what it costs today, but what it means for your financial position long-term. My clients don't overpay, and they don't miss good opportunities while overthinking.

I work in both official languages and serve a diverse clientele across Montreal's most sought-after neighbourhoods - from Westmount and Outremont to Verdun, Ville-Marie, and the West Island.

The Process

From First Call to Closing Day

01

Discovery Call

We define your priorities, budget, timeline, and must-haves. I explain the Quebec buying process, what to expect at each stage, and how I work.

02

Pre-Approval

Before visiting properties, you need a mortgage pre-approval. I can connect you with experienced mortgage brokers and help you understand what your numbers actually mean in the current market.

03

Targeted Search

I curate properties that match your criteria and flag off-market opportunities through my network. We move quickly on strong listings - Montreal's best properties move in days, not weeks.

04

Offer Strategy

I prepare a comparative market analysis, advise on pricing, and draft the promesse d'achat. I negotiate on your behalf with a clear strategy - not emotion - to get you the best possible terms.

05

Due Diligence

We coordinate inspections, review the declaration of co-ownership if applicable, and analyze any conditions attached to the sale. I flag red flags others miss.

06

Closing & Beyond

I coordinate with the notary, ensure all conditions are met, and walk you through the final signature. After closing, I remain available for any questions or referrals you need.

What I Bring

A Different Kind of Broker

Finance Background

Before real estate, I worked in finance and investment management. That means I approach every transaction analytically - running the numbers, understanding valuation, and giving you objective advice rather than just pushing a deal through.

Bilingual Service

I work fluently in English and French. In a bilingual market like Montreal, this matters - whether you're reading a French deed, negotiating with a French-speaking seller, or navigating the OACIQ process.

Local Market Depth

I track pricing trends, days on market, and absorption rates across Montreal's key neighbourhoods. This data shapes every recommendation I make - you'll never hear me guess at a price.

Responsive & Attentive

I keep my client base intentionally small so every buyer gets focused attention. When a good property hits the market, we can act within hours - not days. That speed wins deals.

Common Questions

Buyer FAQ

Do I need a buyer's broker in Quebec?

In Quebec, the seller pays the commission that is split between both brokers - so buyer representation costs you nothing out of pocket. Despite this, you gain a licensed professional negotiating exclusively on your behalf. It's one of the most asymmetric advantages in the transaction.

How long does buying a home in Montreal take?

Typically 2–4 months from your first search to receiving your keys, depending on your criteria and the market. Getting pre-approved before you start looking significantly compresses the timeline - and makes your offers more competitive.

What is a promesse d'achat?

It's the formal offer document used in Quebec real estate. It specifies the purchase price, conditions (financing, inspection, etc.), and a proposed closing date. I prepare this document for you, explain every clause, and present it strategically to the seller.

What additional costs should I budget for?

Beyond your purchase price, plan for: notary fees (~$1,500–$2,500), welcome tax (taxe de bienvenue), home inspection (~$500–$800), moving costs, and any immediate repairs. I help you model these costs before you make an offer so there are no surprises at closing.
