\u00cele des Soeurs, July 12, 2005 \u2013 <\/strong>Real estate transactions are complex and the amounts of money involved are considerable. In fact, selling or buying a house is probably the most important transaction of your life! The real estate agent has the expertise to successfully guide you. Do not hesitate to call on his services.<\/p>\n

As established in the Real Estate Brokerage Act, the real estate agent must follow 240 hours of training, including basic courses in law, appraisal, mathematics and drafting of contracts. Moreover, he is a skilled negotiator who knows how to deal with every level of the transaction. He masters several tools, such as the S.I.A.\u00ae\/MLS\u00ae system, and also relies on a wide contact network.<\/p>\n

Finally, as a member of the Greater Montr\u00e9al Real Estate Board (GMREB), he is subjected to various controls.<\/p>\n

A versatile professional <\/strong>
\nWhen you are selling a property, your agent visits the house, performs a complete market analysis, prepares advertising strategies and, if requested, lists your property in the S.I.A.\u00ae\/MLS\u00ae system. He also manages visits, offers to purchase, counterproposals, legal paperwork and accompanies you to the notary.<\/p>\n

When you are buying a house, the agent targets in the S.I.A.\u00ae\/MLS\u00ae system the
\nproperties that best match your needs. He also accompanies you during the visits and advises you through every step of a transaction, until you sign the notarial act.<\/p>\n

Harness the power of S.I.A.\u00ae\/MLS\u00ae<\/strong>The S.I.A.\u00ae\/MLS\u00ae system is a powerful work tool reserved to the GMREB members. It is the most comprehensive database for real estate transactions, and is subject to stringent internal quality control. All GMREB agents and brokers can access it. They can select properties that best match their clients\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n

For more information on this, please read the magazine Real Estate \u2013 Tips on Buying & Selling, which is offered free of charge by the agents and brokers of the Greater Montr\u00e9al Real Estate Board.
