Residential real estate service
Sell, buy or evaluate your residential property in Laval and Greater Montreal.
You're preparing to list a condo in Chomedey, eyeing a family home in Rosemère, or want to evaluate a plex for housing use on the island of Montréal. Jeff Phileus leads the residential transaction from the first discovery meeting to the notary signature — trilingual OACIQ broker (French, English, Creole), free initial evaluation, a single contact for your entire file.
How does a residential mandate unfold, from the first coffee to closing?
A residential mandate with Jeff follows five identifiable steps, carried by a single contact. Each phase ends with a concrete decision for the owner or buyer — never with a file handoff to a colleague. Generally two to six months between the discovery meeting and the notary signing, depending on the segment.
-
Residential discovery meeting
A no-commitment meeting, at the Laval office or by video. We discuss the desired neighbourhood, family timeline, budget, and risk tolerance. No price quoted, no forced signature — the goal is to confirm that the collaboration will be useful for your specific residential project.
-
Market evaluation & Centris comparables
Jeff compiles recent residential sales in the area, inspects the property, identifies the valuable strengths (orientation, usable square footage, recent renovations) and submits a quantified report within 72 hours. Primary residence, secondary cottage or plex for housing use: the method stays the same.
-
Preparation & listing
Price positioning, professional photo shoot, light home staging when needed, writing of the Centris description and publication on targeted networks. The goal: for the serious buyer to recognize your property before walking through the door, not during the showing.
-
Showings, offers & negotiation
Jeff filters visitors — prequalification, time slots, post-showing follow-up — to avoid curiosity visits that wear out a listing. At the offer stage, each counter-offer is worked through: price, conditions, signing deadline, inclusions. Multiple offers are handled with full transparency.
-
Inspection, financing & notary signing
Final stretch: coordination of the pre-purchase inspection, follow-up of mortgage financing, document preparation for the notary, handing over of the keys. Jeff remains your point of contact until the deed of sale is signed and the file is fully settled.
Which properties and areas does Jeff represent?
The residential mandate covers properties for housing use — houses, condos, residential plexes, townhouses — in Laval and across all of Greater Montreal. Each property type receives its own listing plan: price positioning, tailored photo shoot, and a Centris strategy calibrated for the area's target buyer.
Condo & apartment
Divided co-ownerships, new or resale condos — with analysis of the syndicate budget, contingency fund and bylaws before listing.
Plex for housing use
Duplex, triplex, quadruplex for residential use — with a review of rental income, current leases, and economic value estimation.
Townhouse
Row or semi-detached townhouse, often in new developments — a growing segment in Sainte-Dorothée, Fabreville and on the North Shore.

The residential questions most often asked of Jeff.
Four questions that come up systematically when an owner or buyer in Greater Montreal is comparing options before signing a residential mandate.
A question not listed here?
What is the average timeline to sell a residential home in Laval?
A standard residential sale mandate runs for three to six months depending on price, neighbourhood and season. Properties positioned well right at the Centris listing often find a buyer faster. From the evaluation stage, Jeff presents several scenarios — price revision, photo repositioning, strategic pause — to adjust to the real residential market.
What types of residential properties does Jeff represent?
Jeff supports the sale and purchase of single-family homes, condos, plexes for housing use, townhouses, and properties about to be renovated. Each property type receives its own distinct listing plan: price positioning, tailored photo shoot, and a Centris strategy calibrated for the area's target buyer.
Does a buyer need to pay the residential broker in Quebec?
In the majority of residential transactions in Quebec, the buyer broker's compensation is paid by the seller through the sale brokerage contract. The buyer therefore benefits from a broker defending their interests without directly paying commission. Jeff clarifies the structure right at the discovery meeting, no obligation.
What does the free residential market evaluation cover?
The initial evaluation is free and comes with no commitment. Jeff compiles Centris comparables for the area, inspects your property, identifies the strengths to highlight, and submits a quantified report within 72 hours. You're free to use this document to make your decision, even without signing a brokerage contract afterward.
