Houses for sale in Châteauguay, St-Constant or Ste-Catherine
Active in the Chateauguay, St-Constant and Ste-Catherine sectors for more than 12 years
Real estate agent for more than 12 years, I get involved in every real estate project with my clients as if it were my own.. From a young age I have worked in sales and customer service. When I was 22 I bought my first building and that is when I got hooked on real estate.
I decided to leave Montreal, the great metropolis in 2008 to settle in the South Shore with my family in in a peaceful environment where life is good.
I love riding my bike around my neighborhood, especially near the Châteauguay river. I also appreciate the experiences and discoveries that are offered in my area, such as the many local cafes, the Mexican restaurant and in summer, enjoy buying fruits and vegetables directly from local farmers.
If you want your dreams to come true, I am the ideal person for you!

Common mistakes when selling your home
1 - Do not repair what needs to be repaired before the sale
Keeping your home in good shape can pay off big when it's time to sell. Buyers are often looking for houses that require little repair, and no one wants a promise to purchase to fall apart because the home inspector has found a problem that buyers can't solve. A little prevention can save you from seeing disappointed potential buyers visiting your home.
It is very important to make the necessary repairs, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. These rooms are the TOP 2 that bring value to your home from buyers perspectve. Most mechanical systems, such as plumbing and electrical, are found in the kitchen and bathrooms of a home. It is important that appliances, divices and electrical/plumbding systems are well maintained.
TIPS on other details to check:
Walls and ceilings
Be sure to repair nail holes, small dents in walls and drywall. If you see any discoloration, such as water damage that has been repaired, repaint the walls. Painting is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to refresh a room and bring back its value.
Water heater
Water heater must be in good working order and not leaking. All pipes must be insulated. Water heater should be less than 10 years old if purchased. Old appliances are at higher risk to leak and cause damage; buyers look out for this detail.
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
Detectors must be in good working order and less than ten years old. Test your detectors and replace batteries if necessary.
2 – Be present during home visits
It is normal to want to control everything that happens with the sale of your property and be present to defend and answer buyer questionns. However, letting your real estate broker do their job will pay off.
For example, the buyer will feel more comfortable during the visit to give his opinion about the property to the broker, either positive or negative, than to the seller. A seller should not answer buyers' questions, as this could jeopardize the sale.
3 - Forget that the 1st offer is the best
Have you ever heard the expression "I SHOULD"? This is exactly what you don't want to happen and what we, Team Lopez, are here to help prevent. Anyone who is interested in your home should be taken seriously and given the opportunity to make an offer to purchase.
4 - Don't let the buyer discover your house
While it is very important to make potential buyers understand the qualities of your home, it is also essential to leave room for the imagination of future homeowners.
Buyers are either looking for a home to live in, or for an investment or for their retirement.
It doesn't matter whether they are first-time buyers or experienced buyers, you'll never know who is visiting your home. Every potential buyer is looking for something specific, let the buyer experience your home in their own way.
