Selling a property in Gatineau, whether it's a house for sale, a condo, a duplex or a triplex, is not just about listing a price and waiting for buyers. It's a strategic process that requires reflection, preparation and support.

As a real estate broker in Gatineau, I work with clients in several sectors: Aylmer, Hull, Masson-Angers and the surrounding areas. My role is to ensure that every step is optimized to maximize not only the sale price but also my clients' peace of mind.


The appraisal: laying the right foundations

A fair and precise appraisal is the first step to selling quickly and at the best price. Whether you own a single-family home in Aylmer, a condo in downtown Hull, or a triplex in Masson-Angers, the appraisal helps position your property strategically on the market.

The objective is clear: to maximize your proceeds while remaining competitive in the greater Gatineau area.


Preparation: captivate from the first glance

Getting a property ready for sale is an essential step to appeal to buyers from their first visit.

  • Declutter and tidy up to showcase the space.
  • Thoroughly clean the interior and exterior.
  • Repair and refresh: walls, paint, closets, small details often overlooked.
  • Pre-sale inspection to detect and fix issues before buyers discover them.

Whether it's a modern condo in Hull, a single-family home in Aylmer or a duplex in Masson-Angers, preparation helps ensure an immediate wow factor and a higher selling price.


Staging: maximizing the potential

Value enhancement (home staging) helps make a property even more attractive:

  • Renovate an aging kitchen.
  • Repair a damaged floor.
  • Modernize certain finishes.

Whether you are selling a rental triplex in Gatineau, a condo in Hull or a single-family home in Aylmer, every detail counts to captivate buyers and avoid surprises during the inspection.


Strategy: planning the sale and what comes after

A successful transaction rests on two strategic aspects:

  1. Sales strategy: marketing, professional photos, advertising and visibility on real estate platforms. With tailored marketing, your house for sale in Gatineau, your condo in Hull or your duplex/triplex in Masson-Angers gets the visibility it deserves.
  2. Exit strategy: plan the transition after the sale. If your property sells quickly, do you already have a house or condo in sight in Aylmer, Hull or elsewhere in the Outaouais? Would a bridge loan be necessary to align your possession dates?

These questions are essential to avoid stress and ensure a smooth transition.


Support: constant assistance

My role as a real estate broker in Gatineau and in the areas of Aylmer, Hull and Masson-Angers is not limited to putting up a sign. I accompany my clients from start to finish – from the appraisal to signing at the notary, and even after.

My goal is to answer your questions before you even ask them, to simplify every step and to turn your selling experience into a successful life project.


👉 Whether you have a house to sell in Aylmer, a condo in Hull, a duplex in Masson-Angers or a triplex in Gatineau, selling a property takes more than an asking price. It is a combination of appraisal, preparation, staging, strategy and above all… personalized support.
