You’re dreaming of a big house on the waterfront, but does it really fit your lifestyle? Consider this carefully because it’s important to distinguish your dream home from the one that actually meets your needs. Before you begin your search, take the time to consider your needs thoroughly.
Your Needs
Every family has its own needs and priorities. How many rooms and bathrooms will you need? Is a dining room a necessity? And what about the garage? Will it turn into yet another storage space?
Your Tastes
Consider your style. If you’re not enthusiastic about do-it-yourself projects, avoid homes that require major renovations. And even if a spacious yard seems attractive, are you willing to spend the time caring for it? If you prefer city life you’ll have access to theatres, services and restaurants, but it’ll be noisier and won’t have as many green spaces. In other words, determine your priorities!
What’s Your Budget?
Don’t make the mistake of buying a home that is out of your price range. To find the home that’s right for you, adapt your needs to your budget. Once you’ve become an owner, your investment will start to increase in value and will eventually help you access a home that is closer to your ideal. In the beginning, it’s important to put savings aside for small purchases and unexpected expenses. Ensure you have enough money for maintenance costs such as insurance and repairs, as these can amount to 2% or 3% of the price of your home per year.
Your Environment
The environment is also an important factor. Is there a daycare or school nearby? Can your children take public transportation or will you need to drive them around? Consider the distance between home and work too.
About Me

Courtier immobilier résidentiel
I am a passionate, driven individual ready to take on any challenges that come my way. With an exceptional ability to adapt to changes and connect with people, I stand out for my authenticity and sincerity. When I choose to work with you, it is because I firmly believe in the potential of your project. I commit wholeheartedly to ensure we achieve the desired goals together.
Sports, which play a significant role in my life, have taught me essential values such as discipline, rigor, and perseverance. I have applied these lessons both on the sports fields and in my professional career. As a natural leader in my sports teams and in the business world, I am also a proud father of three boys, all hockey players, and I understand the sacrifices required for parents of young athletes.
Together with my life and business partner, we have built a beautiful blended family of seven, including five children. My early immersion in the business world, working with my father at the family company Lachance Chasse & Pêche for over fifteen years, has forged a solid entrepreneurial spirit in me. After working in event management and then in the automotive industry, where I concluded my career as General Manager, I turned to real estate, a field that has deeply fascinated me for many years.
I am proud to accompany you on this real estate journey, whether it is simple or complex. With you, I am prepared to navigate the challenging moments and celebrate the successes, regardless of the project's size. My commitment is total! YOUR success is MY priority!
