Are you flexible on purchase dates?
Yes, we are always flexible regarding the closing date of the transaction. This issue never poses a problem for concluding a sale.
Do we have to sell to you if you come to visit our property?
No, you are under no obligation to sell until you officially accept our offer to purchase.
If you have it inspected, is it at our expense?
No, if we wish to have your building inspected, we will cover 100% of the costs.
Do you buy without a legal warranty?
Whatever we buy, it’s without any legal guarantee, which in legal terms means “at our own risk”.
What happens if I don't have a certificate of location?
A certificate of location is a legal document required to conclude the purchase of a building and/or land. If you don’t have one, we can refer you to a land surveyor who can carry out the work quickly.
I’m the executor of an estate and don’t know what to do. Can you help me?
Certainly, one of our collaborating notaries will be happy to help you and advise you objectively.
I own an apartment building, but it’s empty. Do you still want to buy it?
Yes, absolutely, it’s a project we’re interested in. Fill out our online form and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible, sometimes even the same day!
My building needs renovations. Are you still interested?
Yes, as a general contractor, we have reliable partners representing all construction trades. This partnership gives us the confidence to tackle renovation projects of any scale. How about yours?
Some of my tenants are having problems. What should I do before selling?
You don’t have to do anything! We’re experienced in dealing with tenants, and we’ll take care of any situation, no matter how delicate.
I have things that I want to leave in my property before selling. Is that a problem?
No, it’s not a problem. Our team of movers will take care of it at our own expense.
I received a notice of exercise (60 days notice). Can you help me?
Certainly, we can buy VERY quickly. We understand that no one is totally immune from a financial setback, and we’re very discreet.
Instead of calling an insolvency trustee, can you buy my property quickly?
With pleasure! For very urgent situations, but without ever rushing you, the Fortin.com team can conclude the purchase of your property very quickly, sometimes even within in a few days.
I want to move into a retirement home (RPA). Can I remain a tenant before I leave?
Yes, such an arrangement is possible. Fill out our form or call us, and we’ll make you a proposal that meets your objectives for your transition, at your own pace, to an RPA.
Are you a real estate broker (real estate agent)?
No, we are real estate investors and do not belong to any network. So you won’t have to pay any commission.
What happens to my tenants once you've bought my building?
One of our values is to respect existing leases and treat tenants with consideration.
Who pays the notary fees?
We pay all transaction costs, including notary fees.
I live out of the country or elsewhere in the province. Is that a problem?
No, your absence for a valid reason does not prevent our notaries from closing the sale. In such cases, they will use a videoconferencing solution such as TEAMS, ZOOM, GOOGLE MEET, or SKYPE.
How do you assess the value of my property?
First of all, we have an in-house team of professionals who prepare a file that will enable us to assess your property accurately and quickly. We also consult the land register, the same one used by notaries. This is another relevant reference. We also have access to a multitude of geomatic tools to carry out our evaluation, and all these efforts help us avoid bothering you with a multitude of useless questions.
Do you buy "anything" everywhere in Quebec?
If you own any type of real estate, in any condition, anywhere in Quebec, or even outside the province, including cottages and land (we’re even interested in woodlots), we’re a company motivated to buy it!
