How to read a real estate broker’s sales record

A broker’s sales record is the most concrete information you have for judging them before signing. You still need to know what to look for: a number of properties sold, on its own, tells you very little. Three things matter more, for us as for any broker:

1. Geographic concentration. A broker who sells regularly in your neighbourhood knows the active buyers, the recent comparables and the quirks of the local buildings.
2. Matching property type. Selling a new downtown condo and selling a duplex in Rosemont call for two different strategies. Look for sales that resemble your property.
3. Consistency over time. Sales spread across the whole year are worth more than one isolated cluster: that is the sign of a full-time practice.

A strong sales record does not prove a broker will sell your property for more; it proves they know your market.

Why sold prices matter more than asking prices

In Quebec, sale prices are not public, unlike in other provinces. Only real estate brokers can access them through Centris. That is a major difference: the prices you see on listing sites are asking prices, meaning what sellers hope for, not what buyers actually paid.

The gap between the asking price and the sold price is precisely what determines whether a valuation is accurate. A property listed at $750,000 on your street tells you nothing until you know what it sold for, how long it took, and whether the seller had to cut the price along the way.

Access to that data, and the experience to interpret it, is what separates a professional valuation from an automated online estimate.

What our sales record means for your project

If you are selling, our recent transactions in your area serve directly as comparables for setting your listing price. A fair price from day one avoids the costliest scenario in real estate: a property that stalls, loses its novelty, then sells below value after several reductions. See our approach to selling a house in Montreal.

If you are buying, knowing what was actually paid in a neighbourhood changes a negotiation completely, especially in a multiple-offer situation. We put those benchmarks at your disposal from the first meeting, whether you are looking at a house, a condo, a duplex or a triplex.

A useful reminder for buyers: since 2022, double representation has been prohibited in Quebec. The broker representing the seller cannot represent you. Retaining your own broker ensures the comparables are analysed in your interest.

Frequently asked questions about properties sold in Montreal

How can I look up the properties a real estate broker has sold?

The most reliable way is to consult the broker’s profile on Centris, maintained by the real estate board, or to ask them directly for a list of their transactions over the last 12 months in your area. An active broker provides that information without hesitation.

Can you find out the actual sale price of a property in Quebec?

No, sale prices are not public in Quebec. Only real estate brokers have access to the full sales history through Centris. That is one of the concrete reasons a broker adds value when setting a price or negotiating an offer.

Why do comparable sales matter when valuing my property?

A credible valuation rests on comparable sales: similar properties, in the same area, sold recently. The asking prices of active listings reflect only what sellers hope for, whereas sold prices reflect what buyers actually paid.

What is the difference between a broker’s valuation and an online estimate?

An online estimate applies a statistical model to limited public data, without seeing the property. A broker’s valuation accounts for real sales in the area, the condition of the building, renovations, orientation, parking and current neighbourhood dynamics. The gap between the two often runs to tens of thousands of dollars.
