How to List Your Property on Centris
To publish a property on Centris in Quebec, the listing must go through a licensed real estate broker. This guide explains how Centris works, how it connects to the MLS network and Realtor.ca, and what options sellers have if they want Centris exposure without a traditional listing-side percentage commission.
What Is Centris?
Centris is Quebec’s leading real estate platform for broker-listed properties. It gives buyers and brokers a central place to search properties listed through licensed real estate brokers, including homes, condos, plexes, cottages, land, and investment properties.
Unlike private-sale websites, Centris is part of Quebec’s brokered real estate system. That means listings are tied to professional representation, documentation, and broker oversight.
For homeowners, the important point is simple: to list on Centris, your property must go through a licensed real estate broker.
Can Homeowners List Directly on Centris?
No. Homeowners cannot publish a property directly on Centris themselves. Centris listings can only be published through licensed real estate brokers.
But that does not mean every seller needs to use the same traditional listing structure. It means that if you want your property on Centris, the listing needs to be handled through the brokered system.
This is where seller options begin to differ. Some homeowners choose a traditional full-service brokerage model. Others choose a flat-fee MLS listing service like Morro, where the property is listed on Centris through a licensed broker with a fixed listing-side fee.
Is There Another Way to Get Centris Exposure?
Yes. If you want your property on Centris, the listing still needs to go through a licensed broker. But the service model does not have to look the same in every case.
Morro helps Quebec sellers access Centris through licensed real estate brokers with a fixed listing-side fee. This gives sellers a way to reach the brokered marketplace without defaulting to a traditional listing-side percentage commission.
With Morro, your property can be listed on Centris, distributed through the MLS network, and supported through the key parts of the sale — including pricing strategy, listing preparation, buyer activity, offer review, and closing coordination.
Common Questions About Listing on Centris
Understanding how Centris listings work in Quebec
Can I post my home directly on Centris?
No. Listings must be published through a licensed Quebec real estate broker.
Does a Centris listing automatically appear on Realtor.ca?
Yes. Listings published through the MLS network are also distributed to Realtor.ca as part of the listing system.
Do I still need to offer a buyer-broker commission?
Yes. MLS listings include a fixed or percentage-based commission offered to buyer agents who bring a successful buyer.
Can a property be marketed both privately and on MLS?
Yes. Some sellers choose to market their property privately while also listing it on Centris through a broker. In these cases, the MLS listing provides exposure to the broader broker network, while the seller may also pursue buyers through other channels.
What costs should I expect beyond the flat fee?
Beyond the flat fee, additional costs include a buyer-broker incentive (percentage or fixed) and optional services such as professional photography or marketing assets. These services can be coordinated through Morro and are always discussed upfront so you can decide what makes sense for your situation.
