A broker who stands out

Almost everything — and that is exactly why I am still here.

In 2000, I was selling semi-detached and single-family homes at Habitations Bouladier. Simple, right? Except the market never stays simple. So I followed its movement: at Devcore, I broadened my playing field to Quebec and Ontario, adding terrace condos, townhouses and first-time investors to my journey. Then, for nearly a decade at Gerik, I dove into duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes — the demanding world of investors who count every dollar.

And in between? At Bouladier as at Gerik, I also led custom luxury home files — the projects where every decision counts, from the choice of materials to the last finishing touch. You think you cannot be equally at ease with a first-time buyer and a demanding client on a custom home? Think again.

Are you selling an entry-level bungalow or a high-end custom home? Are you an investor who puts returns first? Few brokers can say they have truly done it all, on both sides of the provincial border. I can.

And I did not stop there: in 2023, I earned my brokerage licence. In 2025, I added the commercial licence to my arsenal. Why keep learning after a quarter century of career? Because the day you stop learning this trade is the day you stop serving your clients well.

So, the real question: do you prefer someone who repeats the same speech for ten years, or someone who has never stopped broadening her playing field to serve you better?

How long does it take to build a relationship of trust with 1,000 people?

Twenty-five years. That is the time it took me to cultivate a network of over 1,000 qualified contacts — investors who decide fast, professionals and leaders who value quality, partner brokers in Quebec and Ontario, developers who open the door to projects you never see on Centris.

What does that change concretely for you? Ask yourself differently: do you want your property to wait patiently for curious visitors, or to be presented in preview to already-qualified, already-motivated buyers, before it even goes public?

It is not luck. It is the result of twenty-five years of nurtured relationships, one transaction at a time.

You just bought and the bathroom needs some love? You are selling and you do not know who to call for that last-minute surprise? Most brokers hand you the keys and disappear. I stay in the picture.

Twenty-five years in the field also builds a trusted address book: a reliable handyman, a serious renovation company, a mortgage representative who actually answers emails, a notary who never leaves you in the dark. I do not let you guess who to call — I refer you to the right people, the ones I have tested and retested over the years.

Because a transaction is not just signing a contract. It is everything that comes before, and everything that comes after.

Have you ever come across an overpriced property that lingers on the market for months? Have you ever wondered why?

Overvaluation impresses no one — it pushes serious buyers away. The right price, on the other hand, creates competition, sparks multiple offers, and can even push the final result above asking. I do not guess that price: I calculate it, from the latest comparable transactions within a few kilometres, cross-referenced with a quarter century of market reading — location, property condition, market conditions, the balance between supply and demand.

Do you want an opinion, or a number that holds up to signature? It is that difference, between intuition and quantified experience, that separates a fast sale from a sale that drags.

Whether you are selling or buying, you have questions, you want an honest evaluation rather than an inflated number just to sign a mandate? Twenty-five years of experience, two provinces, every property type — from a first condo to a custom luxury home —, a network of over 1,000 contacts, a book of trusted partners for before and after the sale, and a quantified method rather than an empty promise: that is what you get when you work with me.

Sell with confidence, buy with happiness. Let us talk about your project.
