Your plan

Let's find the right home.

  1. Get pre-approved so you know your real budget and can make strong offers.
  2. Set up your personal home search and get matching homes as soon as they come up.
  3. Visit with me, then we offer and negotiate together.

Let's get your home its best price.

  1. Free written valuation based on real recent sales near you.
  2. A short preparation plan: repairs, staging and photos that pay off.
  3. Bilingual launch to reach buyers on both sides of the river.

One agent for both moves.

  1. Value your current home so you know what you can afford next.
  2. Line up both dates so you never pay for two homes or end up with none.
  3. Search for the next one while we prepare the sale.

Explore first, no pressure.

  1. Compare the real costs of buying in Ottawa and in Gatineau.
  2. Browse the neighbourhood guides to see where you'd like to live.
  3. Get the monthly market snapshot in your inbox.

In Ontario, a real estate lawyer handles your closing and you pay Ontario land transfer tax on closing day.

In Québec, a notary handles your closing and the city bills the welcome tax a few months after you buy.

You'll deal with two provinces and two sets of rules. I'm licensed in both, so one person coordinates everything.

Not sure which side suits you? I'll help you compare both, including the real costs.

You're moving soon: let's talk this week.

3 to 12 months is the ideal runway to prepare well.

There's no rush: getting informed now will make the move easier later.
