Multiple offers : 7 strategies to stand out from the competition - Important points

In a seller’s market, the number of properties for sale is not sufficient to meet the demand. It is not uncommon for more than one buyer to be interested in the same property, and this is even more the case in the more desirable areas of the city of Montreal. As a buyer, you can sometimes find yourself in a multiple offers situation and overbidding, which can seem tricky and even discouraging. However, there are several strategies to consider in this situation to increase your chances of winning. 

Here are 7 that can help you :

Do your research

Define what criteria are really important to you when you begin your search for a new property. If your criteria are not well defined, you may not have enough time to evaluate the neighborhood and the characteristics of the properties (neighborhood schools, number of rooms needed, maximum budget, etc.). By having clear criteria, you will reduce stress and focus on the opportunities that really meet your needs.

Work with an experienced real estate broker

In a multiple offer situation, the selling price is usually higher than the asking price. A real estate broker who knows the Montreal market well will be able to advise you on the price at which a property should sell and help you set the right price for your offer.

His knowledge of neighborhoods, recent transactions and the legal aspects of a real estate transaction will give you access to all the information you need to make informed decisions. In addition, he will be able to put his network of trusted professionals (appraisers, mortgage brokers, notaries, etc.) at your disposal so that you will be ready when the time comes to fulfill the conditions of your promise to purchase.

Get a mortgage pre-approval and proof of funds

It is important to know that in a multiple offer situation, you will not be able to know the conditions offered by the other buyers, including the price. Although the seller’s broker must advise you of the number of offers, no other element can be mentioned.

In order to demonstrate your intentions and commitment to the seller, it is strongly recommended that you obtain a mortgage pre-approval from your financial institution in addition to your down payment. This letter will demonstrate to the seller that you are not financially locked in. You can also obtain a proof of funds which will further reassure the seller.

Find out what conditions are important to the seller before you make an offer

The price is not the only element considered at the time of a purchase. In fact, other clauses such as the occupancy date play a major role in the sellers’ decision. If you are flexible with the date of signing or taking possession, or with inclusions/exclusions, talk to your broker or the seller’s broker (if you are buying alone). They will be able to give you more details on the sellers’ expectations.

The more your terms accommodate the seller’s preferences, the more likely you are to get their attention. There is also the option of making an offer not conditional on an inspection. Although this option is more risky, it is best to discuss it with your real estate broker first.

If the seller wants 48 or 72 hours, do not try the option of reducing the time to 24 hours. This may have a negative effect, rushing the seller who is receiving multiple offers.

Introduce yourself and your projects

Sellers are often emotionally attached to their property, they often want to know the next people who will live there and their plans. By taking the time to write a presentation letter, prepare a video or a photo collage, you increase your chances of showing that you are the ideal buyer. Don’t forget to present your family, your projects or your background, they might recognize themselves in you!

Opt for short deadlines for the completion of requirements

It is suggested to set deadlines as short as possible, while remaining realistic. A serious and ready buyer should have all the information ready in case of an accepted offer to start the process. Consult your inspector in advance to find out the minimum notice period he needs, or your bank or mortgage broker for financial approval deadlines.

Consider upgrading your offer or accepting the 2nd rank

If you find the property of your dreams or are looking for a home in an area where listings are scarce, discuss with your broker the option of increasing your offer. Offering your highest price may get you the property you want. If your offer is not accepted, and you have a strong interest in the property, you can put in a second offer. This option ensures that your offer will be accepted if the initial offer falls through.

Some additional tips from our real estate brokers

The Montreal market is as active as ever and properties are selling at a record pace. It is therefore strongly suggested to act quickly. Don’t wait for the visit to see the street or the area of the property. Come by during the day and evening to see the façade and exterior, and if there is an alley, visit it. Respect the seller’s requests regarding the deadline for submitting offers.

If you choose a real estate broker, take the time to check out the reviews of buyers and sellers on Google, to see what they thought of the service offered. After all, it’s people like you who will give you a real idea of what to expect.

Happy searching, and especially happy transactions!

Chez Piétine - Key Information

An Outremont institution

Nearly 40 years after their opening, Chaussures Piétine still retains its loyal clientele in the Outremont neighborhood, while also reaching out to fans of the shoe store concept for young children, who travel from all over the city to receive the judicious advice of the owner, Nadielle Kutlu, regarding their little ones’ needs.

Located on the charming Querbes Avenue, near the Laurier West intersection, Chez Piétine offers a concept and exclusive products that have been delighting consumers for several generations now. It is with a real passion and contagious joy that Nadielle welcomed us in the boutique she now owns, to share a little piece of her knowledge.

Renowned brands

Offering high quality European brands such as Ricosta, Pom d’Api, Petit Nord and many others, Chez Piétine takes its mission to heart to offer children quality shoes, comfortable and above all, adapted to kids’ little feet! Without being trained podiatrists, Nadielle and her employees are passionate enough about the field to advise parents to the best of their knowledge when they are looking for an adapted and comfortable model… while being, let’s face it, very cute!

Even real estate brokers are shoe lovers

Danièle Papazian, our real estate broker, is an avid fan of the boutique where she has brought her children since they were very young in order to offer them shoes that are adapted to their needs, and of a style that is both sought-after and unique in its kind. The great attention paid to the choice of products and the materials used to make them is one of the points of differentiation that Danièle mentions when she talks about the Outremont boutique. Apple leather, recycled materials, soft, comfortable and non-toxic, the employees at Piétine make it their duty to select items whose materials are suitable for the particular needs of infants whose first steps are an important stage of development, as well as for children of school age.

Rain boots, sandals, booties, athletic shoes and slippers, Piétine offers a wide selection of carefully chosen products that meet the highest standards of comfort.

Innovating through change

If the pandemic was a brake on the development of the business model of many, this business, which has become an institution in the Outremont neighborhood, took advantage of it to reinvent itself, while continuing to offer the outstanding service for which they are known to their loyal customers.

In the summer of 2021, the store installed a large outdoor carpet to accommodate customers in a sanitary manner, while allowing toddlers to enjoy the space to walk, run and try on their new shoes! Nadielle Kutlu also offered its in-home services to customers who needed precise advice on the size, style or comfort their little ones needed, a problem exacerbated by the closure of physical stores, leaving parents with no option but to order their toddler’s first pair of sneakers online.

If you don’t know this charming neighborhood business, which has become a real institution over the decades, the boutique Chez Piétine is definitely worth a visit for all new parents and lovers of quality and adapted products who want to spoil their little ones with original shoes of unbeatable quality.

The Piétine boutique is located on 111 Querbes Avenue in Montreal.

Buyer's Guide - Key informations

Read our complete guide here

First purchase in real estate

Are you looking for a property? You are getting ready to make your first real estate investment and are looking for information and advice on the steps and procedures to follow to complete this major project.

Our team of real estate brokers has prepared a summary document, inspired by the OACIQ Buyer’s Guide, which outlines the main steps to follow in order to carry out your project in complete confidence.

Here is a summary of the main topics covered in this buyer’s guide.

BEFORE: The search for the perfect property

The first important step is to establish your budget. Indeed, it is important that it takes into account your lifestyle, your daily expenses, your payments, your debts, while taking into account your medium and long term objectives.

This way, you will know exactly what budget you can allocate to the purchase of a property, in addition to directing your search in the right direction, towards homes that respect your budget limit.

Mortgage pre-approval

It will then be important to have a mortgage pre-approval that assesses your ability to borrow from the bank. This document will be given to you by a mortgage broker, who will probably use one of the following two ratios :

ratios en immobilier

Down payment

You will then need to determine the amount of your down payment, which is the amount you will have to pay when you purchase the property. This amount will then be deducted from the purchase price of the property. This amount will depend on the type of property you are purchasing (divided co-ownership, undivided, income property, etc.).

Additional fees

As a real estate buyer, you should also set aside a preventive amount to cover the inspection, notary fees, transfer duties and all other expenses related to the acquisition of a property, as well as any unforeseen circumstances that may arise.

HBP – Home Buyers' Plan

Also note that if this is your first real estate purchase, the HBP (Home Buyer’s Plan) may be of interest to you! Consult our guide to find out more about it.

Research criteria

Also, be sure to define your search criteria, the geographic area you are looking for, the type of neighborhood you want to live in, your needs, restrictions, etc. A detailed sheet in our buyer’s guide will help you narrow down your search criteria.

Contact one of our real estate brokers to help you establish your criteria.

DURING

If you wish to do business with a professional in the sector, discover our real estate brokers in Montreal who will be pleased to accompany you in your steps. Real estate professionals are protected by the Real Estate Brokerage Act, which, as mentioned by the OACIQ, will help protect you during your transaction.

In addition, real estate brokers generally have a network of contacts that will allow you to surround yourself with the best experts in each of the fields necessary for a successful transaction: mortgage broker, notary, inspector and others.

The Seller's Declaration

The Seller’s Declaration is the document in which the seller records all the information he or she is aware of about his or her property that may help future buyers make up their minds about the property, including any defects or irregularities in the location.

The Promise to Purchase

Have you found the perfect home? Now it’s time to write the Promise to Purchase (PTP), the official and mandatory document that tells the sellers that you want to buy their property. It is in this document that you indicate the price at which you wish to purchase the property as well as the conditions of your offer. The Promise to Purchase is a negotiating tool between the parties and is therefore negotiable.

The inspection

Although you may decide not to ask for a building inspection before signing the promise to purchase, your broker must recommend it! More information on this subject can be found in our guide for buyers.

AFTER the acceptance of the offer to purchase

The transfer of the property

Once the Promise to Purchase is accepted, the next step is to formalize the transaction. The two main components of this step are the title examination and the deed of sale. The transfer of the property requires the involvement of a notary. Again, your real estate broker plays a crucial role in ensuring that the required documents are available.

The deed of sale

The final step in the transaction is the drafting and signing of the deed of sale, in order to make the purchase of the property official. The notary will specify, among other things, the clauses and conditions essential to the protection of your rights.

The real estate assistant : understanding the profesion - Key informations

The real estate broker has well known responsibilities and tasks. However, he or she can be accompanied and work closely with an assistant who has a central role in the real estate transaction, but whose tasks are often unknown. How is an assistant essential in a real estate team?

Administration & management

The Real Estate Broker’s Assistant will take care of various administrative and management tasks for the real estate brokers on the team. In fact, with the collaboration of the real estate broker, the assistant will assemble the various client files and ensure the conformity of the documents received during the real estate transaction process. This is an important step since the documents must be completed according to the real estate brokerage law. 

Updating client databases and preparing information for market analysis are also among the many tasks associated with the Broker Assistant job.

Transaction

The work of a Real Estate Broker’s Assistant also involves composing and preparing communications necessary for transactions, as well as managing calls and information requests from prospects and clients. The assistant may contact sellers and buyers to pass on the necessary information to the real estate broker. During the marketing of properties, the Real Estate Broker Assistant will work with the broker to ensure that the real estate transaction runs smoothly.

Formation

In order to become a Broker’s Assistant, it is recommended to have knowledge in real estate and to be passionate about this field. Training is also available to learn more about the lexicon of real estate in Quebec and the various Centris computer tools to know (Immocontact, Matrix, Prospect, Instanet Forms, Saisie), Ezmax and EZSign.

The organisme d’autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec (OACIQ) is the authority on real estate brokerage in Quebec. It is an important resource that has a lot of relevant information to know and can be very useful for the training of a broker’s assistant.

Organizational skills

As mentioned earlier, the real estate assistant plays a fundamental and important role in a real estate team. She must have a sharp sense of organization and outstanding customer service. The ability to manage numerous files at the same time, as well as a high level of professional rigor, must also be part of their skills.

The real estate broker’s assistant must therefore be in perfect synergy with the real estate broker, as she follows everything the broker undertakes at each step of the real estate transaction process. The broker’s assistant is therefore a fundamental pillar for the real estate brokers on the team.

Our Operations Team

The YE/SARRAZIN Team is fortunate to be surrounded by several real estate broker assistants who also hold their real estate broker’s licenses. Thus, our operations team has a wide range of real estate knowledge. This diversity of knowledge and skills brings a lot of rigor to the team’s files.

The Real Estate Broker Assistant has very specific tasks and follows the brokers in the administration and management of the various client files. Her tasks are numerous, ranging from updating client files, writing various communications to making calls with sellers or buyers during the real estate transaction. There is no specific training to become a broker’s assistant. However, a basic knowledge of real estate and a passion for this field are required. A strong sense of organization and unparalleled customer service are also qualities to have for a real estate broker’s assistant.

Why buy with a real estate broker - Key information

Why deal with a broker for a real estate purchase

The purchase of a property is without a doubt a very important step in the life of many people. Visits, offers, counter-offers, negotiations, legal paperwork, etc., the purchase of a house is a complex process that requires a lot of time, research and energy.

Indeed, finding the property that will make your heart beat faster while meeting the criteria, desires and needs you have set for yourself can be a considerable task. Working with an experienced real estate broker who is an expert in the areas you are considering for the purchase of your property can be a smart move that will not only reduce your mental load, but also put part of your real estate project in the hands of a seasoned expert and enthusiast.

A well regulated profession

It should also be noted that real estate brokers in Québec hold an official permit issued by the Organisme d’autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec (OACIQ), which provides them with guaranteed expertise, in addition to requiring them to abide by strict rules governing their profession and protecting you as a consumer.

Project of law 5

Finally, with Bill 5, amending the Real Estate Brokerage Act, a broker can no longer represent both the seller and the buyer. This double representation could indeed lead to certain problems, notably major conflicts of interest. With the amendment of this law, the buyer benefits from greater protection and guaranteed loyalty on the part of his broker as well as a better defence of his own interests.

But in concrete terms, why do business with a real estate broker for a purchase?

1.   As an expert in the real estate market, working with a real estate broker will allow you to buy the property you are looking for at a fair price, according to the state of the market, thanks to the comparative analysis of the property carried out beforehand by the broker.

2.  A real estate broker working with a team of industry experts will also be able to assist and guide you in completing the various legal documents required to purchase (and sell) a property, including the Promise to Purchase, the Seller’s Declaration and the Notarial Act.

3.  In the same vein, your real estate broker will be able to accompany you and advise you with the professionals you will meet along the way, notably the mortgage broker, the inspector and the notary, in addition to having a negotiating strength that will set you apart from other potential buyers.

4.  Your real estate broker’s references and contacts, regarding the professionals mentioned above, could also be useful to you. Indeed, depending on the sector you are looking for, your broker will be able to recommend experts whose specific knowledge will make the difference (especially regarding the inspection of the property) in the buying process.

Finally, doing business with a real estate broker is free for the seller since the fees paid for his services are assumed by the seller of the residence the buyer is purchasing (to pay for the services of the listing broker and the collaborating broker. The amount of the commission is included in the Promise to Purchase, which is signed by both parties to the transaction).

Are you looking for your dream property? You wish to sell your home to start a new chapter in your life? Do not hesitate to contact one of our real estate brokers, it will be our pleasure to accompany you and guide you through the different steps of your process!

As of December 15, Canadians will find it easier to buy a home, thanks to two new reforms implemented by the federal government. These measures will raise the ceiling on mortgage loans and increase the repayment period on mortgage loans.

In this article, our Montreal real estate brokers explain the main changes that will help Canadians acquire property.

Housing plan and mortgage reforms

In recent years, the dream of owning a home in Canada has become increasingly difficult for many Canadians, especially young adults. To remedy this situation, the federal government has announced the construction of 4 million new housing units, as well as the introduction of two mortgage reforms as of December 15, 2024, which are just some of the initiatives being put in place. Federal Finance Minister Chrystina Freeland has announced that these new measures are designed to create intergenerational equity. The new mortgage reforms consist of:

1. Increase the price ceiling from $1 million to $1.5 million for insured mortgages.
2. Extend eligibility for 30-year mortgage amortization to all first-time and newly built homebuyers.

“We’re raising the ceiling on insured mortgages to take account of property prices in more expensive cities. Also, people who buy a property have more time to repay their mortgage. […] These are measures aimed at creating equity between generations.” – Chrystina Freeland, Federal Minister of Finance

Price ceiling increased from $1 million to $1.5 million for insured mortgages

Mortgage loan insurance is mandatory when you want to buy a property with a down payment of less than 20% – the guarantee covers down payments between 5% and 20%. This guarantee allows Canadians to obtain a mortgage of up to 95% of the price of the property, at a reasonable interest rate, even if the down payment is lower. This will provide stability to the mortgage market, and also offers protection to the lender in the event that the buyer is unable to make mortgage payments.

At present, mortgage loan insurance applies only to properties of $1 million or less. However, as of December 14, 2024, mortgage loan insurance will be eligible for properties up to $1.5 million. The amount attributed to mortgage properties ranging from $1 million and under had not been modified by the Government of Canada since 2012. By increasing this limit, the federal government is adjusting the housing plan to current financial realities and market prices. This reform will enable more people to qualify for mortgage loan insurance.

30-year depreciation eligibility extended to all first-time buyers

As of December 15, anyone buying their first property or a newly-built property will be able to amortize their mortgage over 30 years. For a property to qualify as new construction, it must not have been used as a residence before. To qualify, you must meet one of the following criteria:

1. You have never previously purchased a property;
2. In the last four years, you have not occupied a property that you or your spouse owned;
3. You have recently experienced the end of a marriage or civil union. To this extent, the regulations adopt the Canada Revenue Agency’s approach to the Home Buyers’ Plan. This program allows you to withdraw funds from your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) to buy or build a home.

These two reforms have two main objectives: (1) to enable buyers to reduce their mortgage payments on a monthly basis, thereby making home ownership more affordable, and (2) to encourage the construction of new buildings. To be considered a new property, the real estate must not have been occupied for residential purposes.

All in all, this adjustment in the housing plan is an opportunity for Canadians, and demand for real estate should increase dramatically. We invite you to contact our brokers today to start your search for your first property.

Moustache Café - Key Information

If you are a coffee lover of as much as we are, then this neighborhood discovery located in La Petite-Patrie is for you!

For the love of coffee

There is no shortage of cafés in this dynamic area between Mile End and Petite-Patrie, but Moustache Café has several very special assets that allow it to rank as number 1 in the hearts of our team…including Jay’s, of course! Sweet and affectionate, this adorable St. Pierre is without a doubt the mascot of the business…and the neighborhood! And you know our love for dogs, we couldn’t resist!

In addition to their delicious coffees (we recommend the lattes with macadam milk and the iced chai lattes, real delights), the business offers homemade pastries made by their chef Leonie, in addition to their daily lunch menu!

An exquisite menu

Sandwiches, healthy salads, soups and bagels, the Moustache café is the perfect place for a little lunch break on their terrace or for an intense study session!

The big’stache, as well as the soups, which change according to the chef’s new inspirations, are a must try!

An outstanding team

Paul and Maude, the two owners of the place, are also unmatched in their kindness. Attentive to their clients’ requests and on the lookout for new trends in their sector, the two entrepreneurs assiduously put their hands to work to ensure the place’s inimitable reputation.

Recently renovated, the place offers many intimate spaces to sit and work in peace for an afternoon. The way they have optimized their business, as well as their very fashionable and friendly decor, allows the café to create a warm atmosphere, conducive to moments of study, relaxation or beautiful meetings!
