Quebec mores

In Quebec, it has been customary for many years for the majority of leases to end on July 1. Although July 1st coincides with Canada Day, landlords have traditionally chosen this date to allow children to finish their school year without changing schools.

This year, on the occasion of July 1st, our real estate brokers and administrative team wanted to share their best tips and tricks for a successful move!

Things to remember

Change your property address:

Canada Post
RAMQ, SAAQ, your insurance company
Your financial institution
Service providers (Hydro Québec, Internet…)

Check elevator fee regulations:

If you live in a divided or undivided condominium, chances are you’ll need to reserve the elevator to facilitate your move. However, some condominiums charge a fee for this reservation. So it’s essential to find out in advance about the regulations in force in your building, to avoid any surprises on the big day.

Tips and tricks from our team

Veronica advises you to bring sufficient transport boxes to ensure that your valuables all have a designated place and can safely withstand the move! The trick is to use color coding to distinguish between items and their respective places in your new home.

Clara recommends one or more meditation sessions before the big day! Yes, moving has been proven to be one of the biggest sources of stress, so it can be very beneficial to take the time to rest and meditate in the days and hours before the movers arrive!

Frédéric advises you to reward the people who help make your moving day a successful and memorable one! Beers and pizzas are now a tradition for anyone who volunteers to help their loved ones on this big day! If you’re familiar with our team, you’ll know that Panzeria is our favorite address for succulent focaccia pizza and exquisite Italian dishes!

Finally, our team of real estate brokers recommends that you start by furnishing the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. By prioritizing these essential rooms, you’ll quickly find your bearings and a certain comfort in your new home.

Happy moving to everyone!

In Montreal – whether in the Plateau Mont-Royal, Rosemont La Petite-Patrie or Villeray areas – you’ll find a large number of properties available in divided or undivided co-ownership. This type of housing appeals to many buyers because of its many advantages, although it can also present certain disadvantages, depending on individual needs and expectations. To help you make an informed decision, our team of Montreal real estate brokers presents the main advantages and disadvantages of condominium living.

The benefits of condominium living

Living in a condominium offers many advantages, including increased security, access to various amenities, sharing of maintenance costs among co-owners, a sense of community among neighbors, and potential property appreciation.

Safety and security

In most condominiums, whether divided or undivided, you’ll often find security doors, intercoms, surveillance cameras, and sometimes even an on-site security guard. All these elements give owners a sense of security in their property.

Security entrance located at 1200 Rue Ste-Alexandre, apt. 601 | Ville-Marie

Access to community facilities

Many condominiums offer their residents attractive communal areas such as shared terraces, gyms, swimming pools and meeting rooms. These facilities enable owners to take full advantage of their living environment, while encouraging exchanges and encounters with their neighbors.

Common rooftop terrace, located at 1406, rue Sainte-Élisabeth, apt. 410 | Ville-Marie

Shared maintenance costs

Maintenance costs for the building and common areas, such as the roof and elevators, are shared between the various co-owners. This is a real advantage for condominium owners, as these major costs are shared out, reducing individual financial burdens.

Community presence

Living in a community often favors the creation of lasting social bonds, reinforcing the sense of solidarity and mutual aid between neighbors. These connections not only create a warmer environment, but also a genuine community spirit where everyone can support and exchange. It also helps to reduce isolation, by providing a setting in which people can meet and interact.

Property valuation

Finally, good building management by the syndicate of co-owners can contribute to an increase in the value of the various condos. This represents a considerable asset for owners, particularly with a view to eventual resale.

The disadvantages of condominium living

Co-ownership also presents a number of disadvantages for owners, such as compulsory payment of service charges, sometimes restrictive collective decision-making and potential conflicts between neighbors.

Obligatory service charges

Although charges are shared between co-owners, they can represent a substantial amount. What’s more, these expenses must be paid when the Board of Directors decides to carry out maintenance, renovation or improvement work on the common areas, which can sometimes result in unforeseen costs for co-owners.

Collective decisions

Decisions within a condominium are generally taken collectively, at general meetings attended by all co-owners. This is where issues relating to the management of the building, work to be carried out or budgets to be allocated are discussed and voted on. Although some co-owners may disagree with certain proposals, decisions are usually adopted by majority vote. This can sometimes be frustrating for owners whose opinions differ from those of the majority.

Neighborhood conflicts

Some tensions may arise between co-owners, due to various factors such as noise, disagreements over shared expenses, or behavior deemed disrespectful or uncivil in shared areas.

In conclusion, co-ownership living in Montreal offers many advantages, such as enhanced security, access to quality community facilities, shared maintenance costs and a rewarding community spirit. However, this lifestyle is not without its challenges, including the payment of compulsory charges, the management of collective decisions and potential tensions between neighbors. So it’s essential for every future homeowner to weigh up these aspects against their priorities and expectations before making a choice. To support you in this process, our team of real estate brokers in Montreal is at your disposal to guide you and help you find the condo that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

This week, Catherine, Director of Operations for our Montreal real estate brokerage organization, invites you to discover the little things that make the Rosemont La Petite-Patrie neighborhood so unique. She is a proud Rosemont resident for over 22 years, and describes her neighborhood as a suburb within the city, where calm, greenery and unparalleled accessibility come together.

Many properties are built on rock.

Most of Rosemont‘s properties are built on bedrock, which is particularly suitable for all types of construction, from cottages to condominiums and plexes. Rock keeps buildings more stable and reduces the risk of subsidence or ground movement.

Shoeboxes

If you’ve ever strolled through the Rosemont La Petite-Patrie neighborhood, you’ve probably noticed these small rectangular houses, known as “shoeboxes”. These single-family homes, built in the early 20th century, were originally intended to house the workers of the day. They are particularly common in the Rosemont and Villeray neighborhoods. A true legacy of the past, these properties contribute to the history of the neighborhood and have been subject to a moratorium on demolition since 2018. If you’re looking to renovate your shoebox, we recommend you read our article: Transformation and Expansion of Shoebox Houses: Can They Be Renovated?

Rosemont's abundance of green lanes

Rosemont is the Montreal borough with the largest number of green alleyways, with over 140 landscaped spaces. These alleyways offer many benefits, not least improving quality of life by encouraging neighborly interaction and helping to reduce urban heat islands. Where alleyways are not landscaped, they provide convenient parking, making it easier for Rosemont residents to find parking spaces.

An ideal neighborhood for families

Rosemont is a perfect neighborhood for Montreal families, offering a multitude of free activities in its parks during the summer. What’s more, the borough is home to several primary and secondary schools, making it an even more accessible and convenient place to live.

A multitude of plexes

Although the Rosemont La Petite-Patrie borough is particularly popular with families, it is also a strategic choice for owner-occupiers and investors, due to the large number of plexes. These income properties offer numerous advantages to owners, such as tax incentives, attractive rental income and long-term financial stability.

6594-6598 Av. De Lorimier

In short, Rosemont is a great borough to live in, for many reasons, including its solid foundations, rich green spaces, access to free activities for children, as well as the opportunity to invest in real estate thanks to the presence of numerous plexes.

A Treasure in the Heart of Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie

If you reside in Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, you’ve likely heard of Bar Mamie, a neighborhood establishment located on Beaubien Street, at the intersection of Drolet. It’s actually the preferred spot for our real estate brokers in Rosemont.

Opened in 2020 during the pandemic, this place quickly became a must-visit for those who enjoy camaraderie and good times with friends.

At Mamie’s, the atmosphere resembles that of a typical French village tavern, evoking the warm atmospheres found in these places of authentic sharing. The decor is friendly and relaxed, akin to a cozy and unpretentious little bar.

Bringing a Taste of France to Montreal

Le Mamie’ is the typical French restaurant found on every street corner in France but which didn’t exist here in Montreal. These types of cuisine and atmosphere exist in many places in France, but not here,” explains Max Rosselin, one of the owners of the establishment, in an interview with Le Petit Journal.

Savoring Simplicity

At this establishment, you’ll find a wide selection of platters, ranging from charcuterie to cheese, along with assortments accompanied by snacks. A variety of wines is also offered to complement these delights. Here, the focus is not on sophisticated cuisine, but rather on a relaxed and welcoming approach, showcasing fresh and flavorful products.

Moreover, within the marketing department at YE/SARRAZIN, Bar Mamie gathers the majority, being the favorite neighborhood bar of Félixe, marketing manager, and Erika, marketing coordinator within our real estate agents organization.

Follow the lead of our real estate brokers in Rosemont and pay them a visit during your next after-work get-together with colleagues 😉

Residential and commercial real estate brokers operate in distinct spheres of real estate, each with distinct responsibilities. To give you an informed view of these differences, our real estate brokerage experts has put together a comprehensive article highlighting the main differences between a residential and a commercial broker.

Residential broker

Commercial broker

Property type

A residential broker specializes in the sale, purchase and rental of residential real estate, such as single-family homes, apartments, condos, townhouses and income properties with 4 apartments or less.

A commercial broker focuses on commercial real estate, such as offices, commercial buildings, buildings with 5 or more apartments, business premises, land for commercial development, shopping centers and warehouses.

Customer

 The clients of a residential real estate broker are mainly buyers looking for a property for their own personal use, whether as a primary or secondary residence. They also include private individuals wishing to sell their property.

Buyers using a commercial real estate broker are typically institutional investors, corporations, real estate developers, business owners and other professionals seeking real estate for commercial purposes, such as business operations or investment. Sellers putting their property on the market generally have the same profile when using a commercial broker.

Expertise required

Residential brokers hold a residential real estate brokerage license issued by the Organisme d’autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec (OACIQ). They must have in-depth knowledge of the local residential market, neighborhoods, schools, public transportation and market trends to help their clients find the home that best suits their needs and budget.

 Commercial brokers hold a commercial brokerage licence issued by the Organisme d’autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec (OACIQ) or a full licence (residential or commercial). They must also have a thorough understanding of the financial and legal aspects of commercial real estate, as well as expertise in negotiating complex lease, purchase and sale contracts. They must also be able to analyze the real estate market, taking into account factors such as competition, strategic location and leasing policies.

Negociation and strategy

Negotiations in the residential sector often involve emotional and personal factors, such as the design of the house or the ideal location for a family. Residential brokers work to meet their customers’ needs and desires.

Commercial negotiations focus primarily on financial aspects, such as rent, lease terms, rates of return and contractual conditions. Commercial brokers must be able to maximize profitability for their clients.

Transaction process

Residential transactions are often shorter and simpler in terms of documentation and regulations.

Commercial transactions generally involve more complex contracts, in-depth due diligence and more complicated legal aspects, which can prolong the transaction process.

In short, residential brokers and commercial brokers specialize in different areas of real estate and work with different types of customers, each with their own specific responsibilities and skills.

A seller's options when receiving a promise to purchase

The process of putting a property up for sale can be a source of anxiety for sellers. Some tend to think that a promise to purchase (offer to purchase) is definitive, unaware that several options are available to them if the proposed conditions are not met.

In this article, our Montreal real estate brokers discuss the seller’s options when receiving an offer to purchase.

Seller's options when receiving a promise to purchase

1. Accept the offer (Promise to Purchase)

If the seller accepts the offer, he or she agrees to sell the property at the price and under the conditions stipulated in the offer. A sales agreement may be concluded, and the seller will generally be required to sign the sales contract to formalize the transaction.

2. Reject the offer (Promise to Purchase)

If the seller refuses the offer, negotiations come to an end, and the buyer will not be able to acquire the property at the price and under the conditions of the rejected offer. The seller can then continue to look for other buyers or wait to receive new offers.

3. Make a counter-proposal

By making a counter-offer, the seller proposes to modify certain aspects of the initial offer, such as price, closing dates or other conditions. The buyer can then accept, reject or make a new counter-offer. This negotiation process can continue until both parties reach an agreement or decide to terminate the talks.

An important legal step to understand

It is essential that the seller fully understands the legal implications of each decision. Once an offer is accepted and an agreement reached, the seller is generally bound by the sales contract and must comply with the agreed terms. In cases of uncertainty or complexity, it is advisable to consult a real estate broker or lawyer for advice tailored to the specific situation.
