The broker advantage: You are protected!

Real estate transactions require specific knowledge and a level of experience fed by regular training. The documents to be completed are numerous and it is important to fill in each form and each clause according to the situation. While the various players in the industry are adequately trained to avoid the precarious situations, there are unfortunately several cases that require them to call in a professional real estate law.

Before taking steps, there are several resources and protection mechanisms that you should address to.

OACIQ Info

As the first resource to contact in case of questions, the agents of the OACIQ information center, who are also brokers, are there to answer your questions and provide you with their in-depth knowledge.
