Are you planning to purchase real estate in the province of Quebec? Then this section is for you. I will tell you about the nuances associated with buying a house or an apartment.
So, the real estate market in Canada is competitive, regulated, and transparent. There are many real estate agencies with thousands of realtors working there.
Firstly: the most important thing is that we have only one database of all available properties. As soon as one of the thousands of realtors signs a contract for sale, whether it's an apartment, a house, a commercial or apartment building, that property immediately becomes available in the general database.
Secondly: the process of buying real estate in Montreal is not simple. There are many nuances and 'tricky details' that you had better know and be prepared for them.
In Canada, it is customary for all parties involved in a real estate transaction (buyers and sellers) to have their own realtors. This is necessary to protect the interests of both parties.
The realtor acts as a guarantor of safety for both the seller and the buyer (for example, an inexperienced buyer, unaware of market prices and details, may easily make a mistake and buy a 'problematic' property at an inflated price).
Realtor services for buyers are free. For this reason, everyone works with trusted realtors whom they trust and recommend to their friends and acquaintances.
