Choosing a professional who knows your area has many advantages!

It is very important to choose a broker who knows the area well. In addition to being able to advise you on the choice of property, its characteristics, its condition and its price, I will help you determine if the area is right for you by taking into consideration a multitude of factors. Some examples? Noise level, type of neighbors, neighborhood businesses, parks and public services, access to highways, schools, level of traffic in different areas… We’d be crazy to do without it!
