I arrived in Quebec where I have lived for the past three decades without wanting to leave.
Very often people think that brokers charge a lot for their services, but in reality a broker is far from getting the full commission requested. In addition to all fees associated with permits, mandatory training, insurance and other agency fees, there is time spent doing all audit, research and travel work. You can’t imagine the time spent in the car between meetings. The costs related to the profession and the unproductive time pushed me to take more advanced training to be able to become independent from real estate agencies and depend directly on the OACIQ, which is the watchdog of the profession. To that, I am adding new features to the site in order to automate as many operations as possible.

I have been a real estate broker in Quebec for over 12 years now. My journey has been filled with exceptional people who have guided me or rather who have shown me how to avoid pitfalls.
First of all, there is Carole, my mentor, who taught me that real estate brokerage is more about the heart than money. Then there was Denis, the director of the Century 21 agency where I spent almost 9 years. He taught me the thoroughness, precision and beauty in writing a contract well done. This time at Century21 allowed me to understand the workings of real estate brokerage in Quebec and to understand some of its limits.
