Buying a property

The right property. The right broker. And the experience to know the difference.

Finding a property is the easy part. Knowing what it is worth, what to look for before making an offer, and when to move — or walk away — is where having the right broker matters.

We start with what you are actually looking for: how you want to live, what you want to own, or what you expect an investment to produce. From there, we pair you with the broker whose experience best fits the property and the market you are entering.

From the first search to the notary, you have someone on your side who knows what to look for and what questions to ask.

The right broker for what you are buying

A house in Westmount, a triplex in Rosemont and a commercial building downtown may all be Montréal real estate, but they are three very different purchases.

Our brokers work across different parts of the market. Some have built their practice around residential properties and the neighbourhoods that define them. Others specialize in multiplexes, rental income and the numbers behind an investment. Others work in commercial real estate, where leases, zoning, operating costs and financing can matter as much as the building itself.

We pair you with the broker who understands what you are buying — not simply whoever happens to be available.

And because that broker works as part of a larger team, you have the experience of the brokerage behind the transaction when you need it.

Residential

A home has to work beyond the visit

It is easy to fall in love with a property during a twenty-minute showing. Our job is to look past the first impression.

We help you understand the neighbourhood, recent comparable sales, the condition of the property, the documents that come with it and how the asking price holds up against what the market is actually doing.

When the right property comes along, we build the offer around more than price — timing, conditions and the information available to us all matter. And when something does not add up, we tell you.

Whether you are buying your first condo, moving into a family home or looking for something exceptional, the objective is the same: make a decision you will still feel good about after the keys are yours.

Multiplex & Revenue Properties

You are buying the building — and the income behind it

A multiplex requires a different kind of due diligence.

The asking price tells you what the seller wants. The leases, rent roll, expenses, financing and potential of the building tell you what it may actually be worth.

We pair you with a broker who understands income properties and can work through those numbers with you before you commit. That means looking at current rents, operating expenses, leases, comparable transactions and the opportunities — and limitations — that come with the property.

A building can look like a good investment from the street and tell a very different story on paper.

We make sure you read both.

Commercial

A commercial purchase starts with what the property needs to do

Commercial real estate is rarely just about the building.

For an investor, the questions may be about tenants, leases, net operating income and return. For an owner-occupier, they may be about zoning, location, access, future growth and whether the property can support the business for years to come.

That is why commercial buyers are paired with a broker who works in commercial real estate and understands the considerations specific to the asset.

We help you evaluate the opportunity, work through the available information, coordinate the professionals required for due diligence and negotiate the transaction with the end goal in mind.

Because the right commercial property is not simply one you can buy. It is one that works for what you intend to do with it.

More than what is on the market

Not every opportunity begins with a listing.

Our brokers are in constant contact with property owners, investors, developers and other brokers across Montréal. When we know what you are looking for, we can search beyond what happens to appear in your feed that morning.

Sometimes the right property is already for sale.

Sometimes the conversation has to start before it is.

From the search to the notary

Finding the property is only one part of buying it.

We help you evaluate the asking price, prepare and negotiate the offer, review the documentation, coordinate inspections and other due diligence, manage conditions and deadlines, and stay involved through financing and the notarial closing.

There are a lot of decisions between “I like it” and “I own it”.

You should not have to make them alone.
