Determine your specific needs
The reasons and characteristics for buying a property vary from person to person. It is therefore very important to discuss your specific needs with me before visiting a property. Before meeting with me, make a list of important characteristics and identify your specific needs such as location, price, type of property, number of rooms, environment, important public services, etc. Check with your financial institution (for information purposes only) to see how much mortgage you can afford. When the time comes to look at the best mortgage opportunity, I will really be there for you thanks to my multiple high quality contacts.
Contact me
Once you have done your needs analysis, contact me. If you are moving to a location far away from the large area in which I work, I can refer you to a professional broker in the a professional broker in the desired area.

About Me
Danny Lachance
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!
