Testimonials


"I have been in the real estate commercial and multi-plex business for over 30 years and have worked with Ms. Badilla for the last 13 years. In short it is a pleasure working with her. She is a very meticulous, organized and detail-oriented person. Whether buying or selling, she is always thorough with her research of the properties, the area and the current market. She always presents her information and research very organized, structured and logical, giving me the best opportunity to make the proper buying or selling decision. She has a very keen and sharp sense of "at first glance" intuition when it comes to evaluating the market value of any given property and her research and documentation has always supported that intuition. She is also a strong and strategic negotiator ensuring that my business transaction interests receive the utmost priority".

"Daphne went above and beyond to help us find the perfect commercial property for our business. She was always available to show us properties and provided us with valuable insights. We couldn't have done it without her!"

Sara & Peter

"We know Daphne for 12 years ago. She helped us searching house in Montreal and we never felt so welcomed and protected by a real estate agent as we did with her. Her advice and knowledge were amazing. Finally, because of my job reasons we didn't proceed with the purchase, but we contacted her again 2 years ago because we planned to buy a property out of Montreal, North of Gatineau. Again, her knowledge, experience and kindness were amazing. Her support throughout the process helped us to close an amazing deal and we can't be happier with the purchase. Of course, for any real estate needs we will contact Daphne without any doubt".

FAQ's (Quebec)

Yes. In Quebec, the Seller’s Declaration is required for most residential sales. It discloses known issues (e.g., water infiltration, roof issues)

It’s a surveyor’s document showing boundaries, building placement, encroachments and zoning compliance. It usually must be less than 10 years old; if outdated, you may need a new one.

Typical timelines range from a few weeks to a few months, depending on price, location, seasonality and market demand. Spring and fall are often faster, but a strong strategy sells year-round.

Request a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). Overpricing leads to stale listings; strategic pricing attracts more qualified buyers and stronger offers.

Expect: brokerage commission, notary/legal fees, mortgage discharge fees, minor prep/staging, and possible capital gains tax if it’s not your principal residence. Ask your broker and tax professional.

Focus on high-ROI updates (paint, lighting, curb appeal, repairs). Avoid major renovations unless advised by your broker based on buyer expectations in your area.

Yes. Keep it tidy, decluttered and flexible for showings; light staging helps buyers envision themselves there.

Even simple staging (declutter, neutral styling) can reduce time on market and increase perceived value.

The buyer completes financing, inspection and notary steps. Closings commonly take 30–60 days, depending on conditions and readiness.

Selling first gives budget certainty; buying first reduces double moves. Your choice depends on timelines, risk tolerance and market conditions—align with your broker’s guidance.

It shows boundaries, building placement, encroachments/servitudes and zoning compliance. If invalid or outdated, it can delay or jeopardize a transaction.

Yes—even for newer homes. Inspectors assess structure, moisture, electrical/plumbing, insulation/roof, and region-specific risks (e.g., pyrite in some areas).

A municipal tax payable after purchase. The amount depends on price and municipality (e.g., Montreal tiers differ). Budget for it in closing costs

Yes: Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP) RRSP withdrawals, FHSA (First Home Savings Account), tax credits, and in some municipalities partial rebates on Welcome Tax.

Notary fees (mandatory in Quebec), inspection, home insurance, Welcome Tax, adjustments for municipal/school taxes, and moving. Plan ~2–4% of the purchase price.

From accepted offer to notary, commonly 30–60 days depending on financing, inspections and seller readiness.

Generally yes, though financing, down payment and tax implications may differ. Consult your lender, broker and notary early.

It depends on rates, price trends, rent levels, your time horizon and maintenance appetite. Your broker can model monthly cost vs. equity for your target neighborhoods.
