By offering real estate services that are aligned with the new technological, social and cultural reality of consumers, and by making the satisfaction of their needs our purpose. This is our brand image and the foundation of our success.

Our happy customers
I am always happy when you come to see me, especially yesterday when we had time to talk. I reminded you that we became friends after I had you as a professional to sell my condo in the Sanctuary phase three. This sale was so easy with you, I got everything I wanted that I wonder why you will not become the one who would be the sales fairy of all the phases of the Sanctuary. I will be there to tell everyone how amazing you are.
Hello Mr. Bissonnette, I am the happy purchaser of an apartment located in the Mount Royal Sanctuary. The sale was very fast, because the situation required it. In fact, in less than ten days, I accepted the requested price. You were simply extraordinary. Thank you again and Bravo!
A huge thank you to Rola for accompanying me in my search for a property! Your team is extremely lucky to have you. Rola is a dedicated person, inspiring confidence, listening to her client and giving her 200% so that the latter is fully satisfied. A rare gem on the market.
As a real estate agent, you did a remarkable job when I bought my condo. You came to meet me in my old condo. You asked me what I wanted in a new apartment. You listened to me carefully. I summarized my expectations by saying: "For me, luxury is space, no exercise room, no pool, no etc...". And here you are, you found me the condo that I am happily living in. It wasn't easy. For reasons that were personal to them, the sellers delayed the appointment at the notary's office so that this appointment took place 2 days before the move, a delay of 2 weeks. I thought at times that I would not get this condo, that I would have to store my furniture until I found another one, etc. Dominique, you were very present during those 2 weeks by communicating regularly with the notary, by reassuring me. You told me: "They signed the offer to purchase, they must respect it. I am very grateful to you for accompanying me through this difficult process.
I know you have worked hard these past few weeks. Have a great vacation. I wish you much satisfaction and success in this real estate business. You have all the qualities and skills to serve your clients well.
Good luck in the future.
I am very happy to have worked with Rola again. I felt confident from the beginning and very well accompanied.
REALTA is a real estate agency with a golden team. They are dedicated, always available and extremely competent. My real estate transaction was very complex and the team (Rola and François) supported me from start to finish. I highly recommend them.
We expressed our needs, specified our expectations and established our budget. Dominique was able to read between the lines and propose a place to live that perfectly matched our profile. We dealt with her in complete confidence, without any complications.
Thank you so much!
Dominique is present at all stages of the search, photos, listing and transaction. She is one of the most efficient and forward thinking women I know. Dominique is the agent you need to have, whether you are buying or selling, as I have experienced both types of transactions with her! Score of 12/10!
Dear Rola, thank you very much for your excellent work! Congratulations also to your amazing photographer. I've received lots and lots of compliments on it, enough to almost make me regret leaving my beautiful apartment! "There are no two like you Rola"...smart, efficient, polite, kind! How happy I am to have chosen you, without any hesitation, as a real estate broker, and also, of course, to have chosen the excellent real estate agency for which you work, that of Mr. François Bissonnette and his entire team, REALTA.
The work of Dominique Chatel and his team was a substantial contribution to the success of the sale of our property. From the beginning of the process, Dominique clearly guided us towards the essential actions to take in order to improve our offer. Also, the sales strategy and the establishment of the asking price defined by Realta were greatly beneficial since the sale was concluded in a few days and we obtained the asking price.
But beyond Realta's professional support, the major added value was Dominique Chatel's personal involvement in all aspects of the project which made a significant difference in the customer experience and the success of this adventure.
Since our first purchase in 2011, Dominique Chatel has been part of our lives. She accompanies us in our doubts and questionings, in our wildest ideas and, of course, in the realization of our dreams: the acquisition of a property.
Sometimes things happen by chance, and from the very first meeting, a sincere complicity was born that allowed us to live the ups and downs of the market with confidence and pleasure.
Dominique knew how to see the evolution of our family's needs, to understand our tastes and aspirations.
Whether it was for the purchase or the sale, she thought of all the details to support us in our steps. She supported us at all stages and represented us remarkably well at all times (even on vacation). Punctual and efficient, she was always available and dedicated.
Even today, she keeps in touch with us and follows the evolution of our projects, which are not ready to stop. And it is without any doubt that we will continue with her.
Dominique is the one who accompanied me in my first purchase, as well as in my first sale, 8 years later. Her great listening skills and her presence made all the difference. The mental burden of buying or selling a property can be very heavy and her support allowed me to make the right decisions at the right time during the whole process. A huge Thank You!
We had the opportunity to work with Ms. Dominique Chatel, who accompanied us impeccably in the search, purchase and sale of our homes. In all respects in terms of skills required for a good real estate broker, Ms. Chatel performs beyond our expectations. Her excellent knowledge of the market allowed us to acquire a house that perfectly met our desires, which she took the time to identify. Her technical, legal and professional know-how eliminated any ambiguity with complete transparency and clarity. Organized and accessible, she undeniably knew how to lead our projects with unparalleled loyalty, attentiveness and honesty. In short, not only does Dominique tick all the required qualities of a good real estate broker, but she excels in all spheres by being the most valuable ally a client could ask for.
Thank you again for everything!
Competence, honesty and knowledge of the local market are the qualities that every seller looks for in a real estate broker. I found this and more in François Bissonnette. His simple and direct contact, his attentive listening and the frankness of his answers first inspired my confidence. Then, I felt comfortable throughout the process of selling my house because he was available and easily accessible. Finally, thanks to his negotiation skills, the results of the transaction exceeded my expectations. I have since recommended him to all my friends and neighbors.
Neat sales presentation booklet, extraordinary customer service, very high availability, all their staff attentive, best broker to date.
François and his team are top-notch professionals. That's why I did my last 4 transactions with them.
For more than 10 years now, I have been counting on François to accompany me in my real estate transactions. I have been impeccably served each time, for small mandates as well as for the most important ones. The quality of his advice, his knowledge of the market and the ease of communication, not to mention his friendly personality and attitude, are all reasons to recommend him to anyone who wishes to buy or sell.
Courtesy, elegance, efficiency and foresight are the qualities that spontaneously come to mind when we think of François Bissonnette. Our house sold only a few days after the "For Sale" sign was placed on our property. The online marketing of our property was quite remarkable! It certainly contributed to the very quick sale of the house. A big thank you to François for his availability and the meticulousness with which he handled our file!
Hello François. I wanted to take the time to simply say thank you. Thank you for taking the time to meet with us on a Saturday morning to explain the Montreal real estate market. Thank you for understanding our needs, for helping us navigate the buying process and for accompanying us during the visits. Amélie and I are more than happy in our new home and you made the process simply easy and enjoyable. Thank you again and we wish you a wonderful holiday season with your families!
