FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare to buy a home in Montreal?
Start by reviewing your financial situation. It is highly recommended to get a mortgage pre-qualification before we begin visits. This clarifies your budget and strengthens your offer when we find the right home.
How does putting my property on the market work?
It starts with a meeting to set the right price and strategy. Once we define the project, I take care of the listing, marketing, and coordination of visits. I guide you through every offer until the sale is finalized at the notary.
What are the basic conditional clauses in a purchase offer?
Common conditions include the inspection of the property and financing approval. These clauses protect you. I ensure these are drafted correctly and removed only when all requirements are met to your satisfaction.
Should I buy a new home before selling my current one?
This is a common dilemma. It depends on your financial comfort and risk tolerance. We will analyze the current market conditions in Montérégie to decide if it is safer to sell first (to know your exact budget) or buy first (to avoid moving twice).
What extra costs should I expect when buying a home?
Beyond the down payment, you should budget for "closing costs," which typically include the "Welcome Tax" (land transfer tax), notary fees, inspection fees, and moving expenses. I will help you estimate these so there are no surprises.
Why is a pre-qualification important?
A pre-qualification letter from your bank confirms exactly how much you can afford. It proves to sellers that you are a serious buyer, giving you a stronger negotiating position, especially in a competitive market.
Which areas do you cover specifically?
I specialize in the Montreal South Shore (Rive-Sud), with a strong focus on Montérégie, including Chambly, Marieville, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, and surrounding neighborhoods. I live here, so I know the community well.
Do I need to pay for your services as a buyer?
In most standard residential transactions in Quebec, the buyer’s broker is compensated through the commission paid by the seller. This means you get professional representation, protection, and guidance at no direct cost to you.
