Buying a house is a very complex process. In addition to managing commercial, financial and legal aspects, you need to know how to negotiate effectively. Real estate brokers who are members of a real estate board are experts in the field! By using their services, you are assured to successfully navigate all of these steps.


A recognized training

The real estate broker has solid training and holds a practice certificate issued by the Québec Real Estate Brokerage Self-Regulatory Organization (OACIQ). A skilled negotiator, he masters many tools and relies on a solid network of contacts, spanning from the building inspector to the notary, including the financial institution and the mortgage broker. In fact, your broker acts almost like a one-stop shop! Not to mention that his presence guarantees the legal protection stipulated in the Real Estate Brokerage Act. On that basis, why go without a broker?


A strong team effort

When you are looking for a property, your broker leverages the power of the MLS® system to target those that suit you. He then accompanies you during showings to analyze, from an objective standpoint, the features of the chosen properties. Finally, he represents you at the negotiating stage, a delicate task where the help of an experienced professional is indispensable. Ultimately, the broker will be present at all stages of the property's purchase, up to the signing at the notary's office!
