Best real estate broker on the North Shore: the proof to verify before signing

Guide · North Shore · ten sectors from Mirabel to Repentigny

The North Shore rose 52 % in five years and sells in 28 days, but its ten sectors run from $573,000 to $800,000. The right broker knows yours. Here is how to recognize them.

The best real estate broker on Montreal's North Shore is the one who distinguishes its ten sectors, because $227,000 separate Saint-Jérôme ($573,000) from Blainville ($800,000) and Mascouche sells in 23 days when Saint-Jérôme takes 33: the north ring sells for $600,000 for the median house in the second quarter of 2026 (+6 % year over year, +52 % in five years, the region's strongest rise) in 28 days, a seller's market in every range, and $370,000 for the condo in 38 days with 848 listings (+40 %). The right broker is recognized by their closed sales in your city, their detailed public reviews, their licence verified with the OACIQ and a written pricing method. The Loaa & Manseur team, number 1 team at RE/MAX Platine in 2024 and 2025, 15th RE/MAX team in Canada and in the global top 50 of the official 2026 ranking, with 221 Google reviews at 4.9, publishes the North Shore's figures every month.

What a good broker must know about the North Shore

The North Shore is ten QPAREB sectors and four logics. The Highway 15 cities (Blainville $800,000, Boisbriand-Sainte-Thérèse $640,000, Mirabel $657,000, Saint-Jérôme $573,000) have the Saint-Jérôme train and a high end that holds in Blainville and negotiates elsewhere. The Highway 25 and Mascouche train cities (Terrebonne $583,500, Mascouche $615,000, Repentigny $580,000) are the fastest (23 to 25 days) and the best supplied (Terrebonne, 345 houses). The regional median of $600,000 (+6 % year over year, +52 % in five years) in 28 days therefore hides gaps of $227,000 and ten days. The regional condo ($370,000, 38 days, 848 listings, +40 %) runs from $315,000 in Saint-Jérôme to $459,900 in Mirabel.

The monthly picture is on the North Shore's August 2026 report; our pages Terrebonne, Blainville, Saint-Jérôme and Repentigny detail each city.

The seven criteria to judge a broker

1. Recent closed sales in your sector, with addresses and days on market, not a provincial volume.
2. Public, dated, detailed reviews: the score alone says nothing; the content of the reviews says everything.
3. A valid licence in the OACIQ register, and no disciplinary decision.
4. A written pricing method: on which comparable sales, at what date, with what adjustment.
5. A marketing plan you can read before signing: photos, video, distribution, viewing follow-up.
6. A team behind the broker: who answers when they are at a viewing, who coordinates the notary, the inspection, the financing.
7. A measured response time: in a 28-day market, a broker who calls back the next day loses offers.

What we do differently on the North Shore

The price is set on the sector, not the region: Terrebonne's closed sales are no use to value Blainville. Every listing gets its dedicated page in English and French, with professional photos and video, on top of Centris. And we publish the North Shore's monthly report and the "Living in" guides for its seven big cities, which means we know what we are talking about before your first meeting, not after.

The seven questions to ask before choosing

• How many properties have you sold in this sector in the last twelve months, and in how many days on average?
• On which comparable sales do you set my price, and will you show them to me?
• Who handles my file if you are away?
• What is your marketing plan, step by step, with dates?
• How do you handle multiple offers, and single offers below asking?
• What happens if my property does not sell within 45 days?
• Can I speak with three of your clients from the last six months?
