General Real Estate Questions
What does MLS mean in Quebec?
MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service, a shared system used by licensed real estate brokers to market properties to buyers and other brokers. In Quebec, MLS listings are published through Centris, which is widely used by buyers when searching for properties.
What does FSBO mean?
FSBO stands for “For Sale By Owner.” It refers to selling a property privately without listing it on the MLS through a broker. FSBO listings are typically marketed through private platforms (such as DuProprio) or classified listings.
Do most buyers use real estate brokers?
Many buyers work with real estate brokers, particularly in competitive or higher-value markets. When buyers are represented, they often rely on MLS listings to identify properties that meet their criteria.
Is MLS exposure important when selling a home?
MLS exposure can increase visibility by making a property accessible to both unrepresented buyers and those working with brokers. The importance of MLS exposure depends on market conditions, property type, and the seller’s overall strategy.
Can a seller choose how involved they want to be in the sale?
Yes. Different selling models allow sellers to take on varying levels of involvement, from managing showings and inquiries themselves to relying more heavily on professional support. The right approach depends on time, experience, and comfort level.
What happens after an offer is accepted?
After an offer is accepted, the transaction typically moves into conditions, documentation, and closing steps. This may include inspections, financing confirmation, and preparation for notarization or transfer of ownership.
Is selling privately always cheaper?
Selling privately can reduce certain upfront costs, but it may also affect exposure, buyer reach, and negotiation dynamics. Whether it results in a better outcome depends on market conditions and how the sale is managed.
What are the main ways to sell a home in Quebec?
Homeowners in Quebec generally sell through a traditional brokerage, a flat-fee MLS service, or a private selling platform. Each option involves different costs, levels of support, and market exposure.
