My broker ensured that the buyer took the necessary steps to have the transfer of ownership notarized – he made sure the buyer had the required financing and made the appointment with the notary. I appreciated having him with me at the notary’s office.

Obtain a Fair Price
Real estate brokers use advanced tools that provide access to all of the properties sold by a real estate broker, which allows them to perform a comparative market analysis. Your broker will propose a selling price that is consistent with the market reality in your area. You will thereby maximize your chances of selling your property in the best possible timeframe, as the asking price reflects what your home is worth in your neighbourhood.
Stay Calm When Faced with Legal Documents
Your real estate broker will inform you of all the steps that must be taken and will accompany you throughout the entire process. He or she will verify all the details surrounding the description of your property, and fill in a Summary that is clear and accurate. Your broker will complete the seller’s declaration with you, giving you additional protection, and will tell you what documents you must have on-hand for the transaction to advance smoothly. In addition to saving time and avoiding aggravation, you can rest assured that the notarized transaction will not be delayed due to a missing document.
Maximize Your Property's Visibility and Traffic
Your broker will list your property in the real estate brokers’ Centris system and on various consumer websites. Your house or condo will therefore benefit from unsurpassed visibility as it may be seen by:
- Québec’s 16,000 real estate brokers and their buying clients;
- Visitors to the Centris.ca website, which contains the largest number of homes for sale in Québec.
Benefit From Professional Protections
Real estate brokers are responsible for the real estate transaction. They are subject to the Real Estate Brokerage Act and must comply with the requirements of the Organisme d’autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec (OACIQ), contribute to the Real Estate Indemnity Fund and hold professional liability insurance. By using a real estate broker to sell your home, you will be teaming up with a professional who will guide you throughout the entire process.
