Montreal Luxury Real Estate Broker for Buyers and Sellers
The Luxury Market in Montreal: What “Luxury” Often Means
Luxury is not only about square footage or finishes—it is about location, scarcity, privacy requirements, and risk management during negotiation and due diligence.
In Montréal, industry reporting commonly frames “luxury” in the multi-million-dollar range. For example, Royal LePage’s Carriage Trade reporting has cited an entry-level luxury price in Montréal around $2.5M and a median luxury price around $3.15M (period-specific and subject to change).
Important: “Luxury” definitions vary by neighborhood, property type (home vs. condo), and market cycle.
If you’re buying or selling at the high end, call now to discuss your goals and timeline.
What Luxury Clients Commonly Worry About (and What They Want Instead)
Three common pain points
- Pricing uncertainty at the high endLuxury pricing is often less “comparable-heavy” and more sensitive to micro-location, condition, and buyer preferences—making overpricing (stale listing) or underpricing (leaving value) a real risk.
- Privacy, security, and unqualified trafficHigh-end owners and buyers frequently want a process that limits disruption, protects privacy, and prioritizes serious, qualified showings.
- Complexity and hidden risk
Condo documentation, building quality, inspections, timelines, and transaction conditions can create costly surprises if not managed with discipline.
The #1 desired outcome
A confident transaction at the right price—with clear guidance, controlled exposure, and fewer avoidable surprises.
How I Help Luxury Sellers in Montreal
Luxury selling is about preparation + positioning + controlled execution—not just “listing and waiting.”
1) Prep and presentation planning
- Pre-list walkthrough and improvement prioritization (what matters, what doesn’t)
- Staging direction and property-ready checklist
- A showing plan that respects privacy and reduces disruption
2) Pricing strategy built for the luxury segment
A luxury pricing strategy typically includes:
- Comparable review (including “why this comp is relevant”)
- Micro-market positioning (street-by-street realities)
- Condition/finish and layout premiums or discounts
- Risk controls to avoid chasing the market downward
3) Marketing systems designed for qualified buyers
- Professional listing assets and structured listing narrative
- Broker tours (where appropriate)
- Targeted exposure that emphasizes quality over volume
- Showing screening to prioritize seriousness and fit
4) Negotiation and offer management
- Clear offer strategy (terms, conditions, timing—not just price)
- Counter-strategy anchored to your objectives and risk tolerance
- Communication discipline to reduce misunderstandings and friction
