Buyer's Guide

The Organisme d’autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec (OACIQ) has crafted this handbook to support you throughout every stage of the property acquisition process.

Within this guide, you'll discover the key procedures to follow both before and during the home-buying process, along with numerous helpful suggestions to facilitate a satisfactory completion of your real estate transaction. If you're interested in the steps involved in selling, please refer to the Seller’s Guide.

While this guide serves as a convenient reference, it is not a substitute for the advice provided by a real estate broker or agency. Its content is specifically geared towards the purchase of residential properties and touches upon some aspects of divided and undivided co-ownership, though not exhaustively.
