FAQs

Morro is a Quebec flat-fee platform that lists your property on MLS®/Centris® through a licensed broker so you get full broker exposure without paying a traditional listing commission.

No. Morro is a flat-fee real estate platform that connects sellers with licensed Quebec real estate brokers who handle the official MLS listing on your behalf.

Instead of paying the traditional percentage of your home’s sale price, you pay a fixed fee upfront. A licensed broker handles your MLS listing and ensures compliance with OACIQ standards. When your home sells, you keep the equity you would have otherwise paid in listing commissions.

Morro was built for sellers who want the same professional MLS exposure offered by traditional brokers — but without paying large percentage-based commissions. Here’s how we’re different: Flat-fee pricing: You pay a single, transparent fee up front — no commission surprises at closing. Full MLS visibility: Your listing is published through Centris and shared across the entire MLS network, reaching both buyers and collaborating brokers province-wide. Professional oversight: Every listing is reviewed and submitted by a licensed Quebec broker, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and credibility with buyers and their agents. Offer and negotiation support: You’ll receive help reviewing and responding to offers, so you can move forward confidently. Efficiency and independence: Everything is handled virtually — no in-person meetings or long-term commitments required. In short, Morro combines the exposure and professionalism of a full-service listing with the control and savings of a modern flat-fee model — helping you keep more of your home’s equity while still selling competitively.

Morro helps you sell faster by combining professional MLS exposure with an efficient, streamlined process designed to get your property in front of serious buyers quickly. Here’s how: MLS visibility: Your property is published on Centris and Realtor.ca, reaching both buyers and the full network of licensed real estate brokers across Quebec. Competitive positioning: We review your property details and comparables to help you price strategically — increasing visibility and buyer interest right from launch. Professional presentation: Your listing is reviewed for quality, compliance, and clarity before publication, ensuring it stands out in MLS search results. Prompt offer handling: When offers arrive, we guide you through the review and negotiation process so you can respond confidently and keep momentum moving. By combining professional guidance with flat-fee simplicity, Morro removes delays and unnecessary costs — helping your property move faster on the market while you retain more of your equity.

Yes. Every property listed through Morro is published on Centris.ca, Quebec’s official real estate platform used by all licensed brokers. Your listing is also automatically shared to Realtor.ca, the national website managed by the Canadian Real Estate Association. This gives your property exposure to buyers both within Quebec and across Canada, as well as to the entire network of licensed brokers working with active buyers. You don’t need to submit anything separately — Morro’s broker partner handles the process to ensure your listing appears correctly on both platforms and remains up to date.

Absolutely. Since your property is listed on MLS® and Centris®, it’s visible to all collaborating brokers across Quebec, giving you access to thousands of active buyer agents.

Yes, when selling through the MLS, a commission applies to the buyer’s broker who brings you a qualified offer leading to the sale of the property. This is part of the collaborative structure that gives your property visibility across Quebec’s professional broker network. However, if you already have buyers who’ve expressed interest before your listing is published, your broker can formally exclude them from the agreement — meaning no buyer’s commission applies in those cases. (Morro may also accommodate certain situations where a property is already marketed privately, ensuring a fair and transparent transition to MLS® representation.)

There is no official or standard commission rate for buyer brokers in Quebec. Each listing sets its own commission structure, and the rate is determined by the seller in consultation with their listing broker. At Morro, we review current market comparables—similar properties in your area that are actively listed or recently sold—to identify what commission amounts are being offered to buyer brokers. This helps ensure your property is launched competitively on the MLS®, giving it the best chance to attract collaboration and strong buyer interest. The key is alignment: when your listing is positioned correctly in both price and broker incentives, it tends to receive more visibility, faster showings, and stronger offers.

The commission you offer to buyer brokers is ultimately your decision. However, choosing the right amount is an important part of launching your property competitively on the MLS. At Morro, we start by reviewing market comparables —properties similar to yours that are currently listed or have recently sold in your area. These comparables show what commissions other sellers are offering, helping you position your listing strategically within the local market. The goal is simple: to offer an amount that encourages broker collaboration without compromising your overall savings. Setting a competitive commission helps your listing stand out in search filters, attract more brokers, and generate stronger buyer traffic right from day one.

DuProprio is a self-managed FSBO (For Sale by Owner) platform that does not have access or use the MLS®. Morro, on the other hand, gives you full MLS® and broker exposure for a flat fee, offering the best of both worlds: maximum visibility and cost savings.

Yes. Morro assists sellers in establishing a competitive and realistic asking price for their property. Based on the photos and property details you provide, we review recent and comparable MLS listings in your area to get a sense of how similar homes are priced. From there, we share a short written summary outlining an optimal price range and recommendations to help your property stand out when it launches on the MLS. The entire process is handled virtually — you send us your property information, and we send the pricing insight directly to your inbox. It’s a quick, collaborative step that helps you list confidently and competitively.

Yes. While your broker will always offer market insights and provide you with a comparative market analysis, the final decision on pricing is always yours.

Yes. Morro provides full offer and negotiation support as part of your flat-fee listing service. While in-person visits, showings, and on-site meetings are handled directly by the seller, our licensed broker remains available to guide you through the entire offer process — from reviewing the promise to purchase, to helping you understand terms, counteroffers, and conditions. You’ll receive clear guidance on how to respond strategically while staying compliant with Quebec’s real estate rules. Every communication and document exchange can be handled virtually or by email, keeping the process efficient and fully supported. In short: you stay in control of your sale, and we ensure that you’re never negotiating alone.

Typically, listing contracts remain active for up to one year, renewable at no extra cost within your service period. The final decision on contract duration, however, is always yours. That said, Morro remains committed to you until your property is sold — regardless of how long it takes. If your listing needs to be renewed or updated during that period, we’ll handle it seamlessly at no additional cost so your property stays visible and competitive on the MLS®. Our goal isn’t just to list your property — it’s to help you see it through to a successful sale.

Yes. You can upgrade with optional add-ons (such as additional media products) or cancel at any time before sale without penalty. The listing fee, however, is non-refundable.

The MLS® (Multiple Listing Service) is Canada’s national real estate database used by licensed brokers to share property listings with one another and with buyers. It’s a secure system that ensures every listing meets professional standards and is accessible to all collaborating brokers. In Quebec, MLS listings are managed exclusively through Centris, which is the province’s regional platform connected directly to the national MLS network. When your property is listed on Centris, it also becomes visible to buyers and brokers across the broader MLS system, including Realtor.ca. With Morro, your property is listed on Centris and the MLS simultaneously, giving you full exposure throughout Quebec and beyond — all through a licensed broker and for one flat fee.

Once your property is published, it’s listed on Centris, the official real estate platform used by licensed brokers across Quebec. From there, your listing is automatically shared through the national MLS network, making it visible on: Centris.ca — the public-facing site for all Quebec broker listings Realtor.ca — the national MLS portal managed by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) The internal MLS system used by licensed brokers throughout Quebec and across Canada This combined visibility means your property is seen by both buyers and their brokers, increasing your exposure across every major real estate platform — without paying traditional listing commissions. With Morro, your property is published through a licensed broker and appears everywhere it needs to be seen to sell competitively.

In Quebec, closing costs for sellers are generally lower than for buyers, but there are still a few important items to plan for. These can include: - Mortgage discharge fees: If you have an existing mortgage, your notary will handle the repayment and prepare a formal discharge. Your financial institution may charge a fee (usually between $100–$300) plus any prepayment penalties if your term isn’t finished. - Adjustments for municipal and school taxes: Taxes are prorated by the notary so each party pays their fair share based on the closing date. - Notary or legal document fees: Although the buyer typically pays the notary, certain documents, like the mortgage discharge, may involve a small seller-side cost. - Optional expenses such as moving costs. Buyers, on the other hand, typically pay welcome tax (land transfer duties), notary fees, and inspection costs. With Morro’s flat-fee model, you can avoid paying a large percentage-based listing commission — often saving thousands of dollars at closing while maintaining full MLS visibility and broker exposure.

When you sell a property in Quebec, the potential for capital gains tax depends on the type of property you’re selling and whether it was your principal residence. Principal residence: If the home was your primary residence for every year you owned it, the sale is generally exempt from capital gains tax under federal and provincial tax rules. Secondary or investment property: If it’s a rental, cottage, or investment property, a portion of the profit from the sale (the difference between the purchase price and sale price, minus eligible expenses) may be considered a capital gain. Tax treatment: Typically, 50% of that gain is taxable and added to your annual income for that year. Important note: Morro and its brokers do not provide tax or legal advice. The information above is for general educational purposes only. Because each situation is unique, we always recommend consulting with a qualified accountant or tax advisor to confirm how capital gains rules apply to your specific case.

Yes. You can sell without an agent, but unless you’re a licensed broker, you can’t list on the MLS directly. Morro bridges that gap by allowing you to access the MLS system legally and affordably.

Average selling time varies by region and price, but MLS-listed properties typically sell faster than private listings due to broker exposure and buyer demand.

Yes. Quebec law requires a Seller’s Declaration (Déclaration du vendeur), detailing the property’s condition, history, and any known defects.

A mandatory OACIQ form (since 2012) completed by the seller and published to the broker MLS that discloses the property’s condition and history to protect both parties and reduce disputes.

While not required, staging or professional photography can increase perceived value and accelerate sales—especially when your listing is competing on MLS.

The documents required to sell a property in Quebec vary depending on the type of property (single-family, condo, multiplex, land, etc.) and your specific situation. That said, most listings will require the following baseline items before your property can be published on MLS: - Title deed (Act of sale showing ownership) - Municipal and school tax bills (most recent year) - Government-issued ID for all registered owners - Seller’s Declaration (DS or DSD) — a mandatory form disclosing the property’s condition and history - Certificate of location (recent and signed by a land surveyor) - Completed listing agreement with the licensed broker handling your MLS submission Additional documents may be requested depending on your property. For example: Condominiums: declaration of co-ownership, building bylaws, and recent meeting minutes Income properties: leases, rent roll, and expense records Land sales: recent cadastral plans, zoning information, or servitude documents Properties with renovations or additions: proof of permits and compliance certificates Because every sale is different, Morro will review your file and request any specific documents needed to ensure your listing meets MLS standards and legal requirements. You’ll receive a detailed checklist tailored to your specific property type once you start your listing process.

Morro serves all regions of Quebec. Whether your property is located in the Greater Montreal Area, Laval, the North or South Shore, Gatineau, Mont-Tremblant, or anywhere in between, we can help you list on MLS through a licensed Quebec broker. Because MLS listings are published province-wide through Centris, your property is visible to every active buyer and broker network across Quebec, regardless of where you’re located. So whether you’re selling a condo in the city, a family home in the suburbs, or a country property outside the major centres — Morro can help you get full exposure and broker collaboration from day one.

Yes — you can list your property with Morro provided the property is located in Quebec. While we serve sellers residing outside the province (or even outside Canada), there are additional considerations that apply to non-residents or non-citizens. Here’s what to keep in mind: Your property must be situated in Quebec and eligible for listing through the Québec broker network. If you are not resident in Canada at the time of sale, both the federal tax authority (CRA) and the Québec tax authority (Revenu Québec) require specific forms and processes. Because these requirements can add complexity (withholding taxes, certification, delays), we strongly recommend consulting a Canadian tax professional or lawyer if you are a non-resident or foreign citizen to determine your specific obligations. Morro’s service remains the same: you’ll get the flat-fee listing package, full MLS exposure, and broker support— but you’re responsible for any extra tax or legal filings related to your residency status.
