Important information to buy a property
Buyer’s guide
Buy your home with full knowledge of the process
The Organisme d’autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec (OACIQ) has prepared this guide to assist you at every step of the process of purchasing a property.
It sets out the main stages to go through before and during the purchase of your home, along with a great deal of practical advice to help you carry out your real estate transaction with peace of mind.
The guide is a practical reference. It does not replace the advice of a broker or an agency working in the real estate or mortgage field. Its content applies only to the purchase of a residential property. Some notions specific to divided or undivided co-ownership are noted in places, but that content is not exhaustive.
