Joëlle Bitar immediately piqued our interest with her (and her team’s) prestigious accolades, including being ranked among the RE/MAX’s Top 50 Realtors in Quebec and Worldwide.
Furthermore, her previous clients held her in such high regard during our interviews. For instance, they told us how Ms Bitar was able to make property buying and selling stress-free thanks to her hands-on approach and top-notch communication skills.
Her portfolio is quite impressive as well, as she averages around 200 transactions every year. Plus, her background in taxation and real estate law makes her among the most trustworthy realtors in the industry.
However, what solidified our confidence in her capabilities as a realtor in Montreal is her long-running residency in the city, having moved when she was 11 years old. This gives her an edge, as it provides her with great local market knowledge.
The only downside is that Joëlle Bitar is one of the most in-demand realtors in the city, which could affect her availability.
Extremely professional experience
“I sold my home with Joelle’s team in less than 3 weeks and purchased with her team as well. Extremely professional experience, rigorous follow-ups, and great collaboration within their team.
A client is never left alone in the process. I want to thank the team. I really appreciate you working with Hadi Fatail from Joelle’s team. He was really efficient, hardworking, and always available to take my calls. Thanks”

Helped us find a new home while minimising the stress
“Thank you to Joelle Bitar and her team, specifically Emilio, for helping us find exactly what we looked for in this market. Very professional team, they helped us quickly find a new home while minimising the stress that comes with the process. Easy five stars!”

Behrooz Davani was one of the top-recommended realtors in Montreal, according to our respondents. A factor that property buyers consistently mentioned was his attentiveness, stating how his patient listening helped them find the house that perfectly suited their preferences.
As for sellers, they mostly highlighted Mr Davani’s fee transparency. They told us how they immediately felt assured that he cares about their needs and wasn’t just trying to get a hefty paycheck.
We were also impressed by Mr Davani’s proven work, based on his constantly growing monthly statistics. From what we’ve gathered, we can see that property sellers trust him, as his number of listings grows exponentially every year.
Another reason why we chose this realtor is his hands-on approach to both selling and buying properties. He provides guidance and is proactive in every step, from property analysis to photo and video taking, negotiations, etc.
Our only gripe is that although his 24/7 availability is actual, the actual response time could improve.
Always proactive
“Behrooz is genuinely the best real estate agent I could have hoped for. Always proactive and attentive to our needs, he showed incredible patience and never made me feel like he was just trying to close a deal quickly.
He guided us step by step, at our own pace, and was highly professional and respectful throughout the process.
He was super responsive every time I texted or called him. Even with my very tight deadline, Behrooz managed to deliver and made everything smooth and stress-free.
I highly recommend Behrooz to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated agent. For all my future projects, I will definitely work with him again. Thank you, Behrooz!”

Great experience from start to finish
“Absolutely recommend Davani and his team 100%! I had a great experience from start to finish selling my condo. From the beginning, Davani took the time to clearly explain all the steps involved—never any pressure, just honest advice and support.
He really helped me set the right price and develop a smart strategy, and he gave me all the time I needed to make my decision.
The photos and listing were done with a lot of professionalism, and the whole selling process went smoothly and without any issues. Davani was always honest, professional, and reliable. I will definitely contact him again for any future real estate transactions.”

Amy Assaad was one of our top prospects because of her 20+ years of experience as a chartered real estate broker.
We did some further digging and discovered that she’s earned multiple accolades throughout her career, including ranking 7th in Royal LePage’s 19,000 Brokers Nationwide.
Previous clients whom we interviewed also shared their appreciation for Ms Assaad’s multilingual capabilities. She speaks 16 different languages, including French, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Arabic.
Previous clients who entrusted her with their house-buying/selling journey also highlighted her personable approach.
They told us how they genuinely felt cared for because of her relationship-building skills. Speaking of relationship-building, Ms Assaad has also established connections with multiple professionals, like lawyers, contractors, etc.
Ms Assaad’s variety of services beyond buying and selling properties is also impressive. For instance, she and her team offer both residential and commercial leasing, as well as land selling for development.
The only red flag we noticed from our interviews is her delayed response, with some reporting unreturned calls.
Very professional and knowledgeable
“Amazing experience with Team Assad! Amy and her team were very professional, knowledgeable and worked very hard to get me the best possible result!
Would strongly recommend to anyone who’s looking to buy or sell real estate with a team that will have your best interest in mind!”

We discovered Steve Rouleau while looking at listings on Instagram, and his photos and videos immediately caught our attention. He and his team do a fantastic job of showcasing properties by taking appealing shots, which sellers also mentioned during our interviews.
Furthermore, it helps that Mr Rouleau always promptly responds to inquiries, whether it be from his email, phone, or social media channels.
This realtor also has 20+ years of experience under his belt, which has led him to have exceptional local market knowledge of Montreal’s neighbourhoods. Clients told us how quick Mr Rouleau was in finding them a property based on just a couple of questions.
His knowledge also allows property sellers to put up their listings at the best possible prices. We had a handful of respondents who told us that if it wasn’t for Mr Rouleau’s market knowledge, they would’ve sold their properties at a much lower price.
The only discrepancy we noticed was that he could be aggressive in making deals at times, leading to some clients feeling pressured.
Felt confident every step of the way
“We had a great experience working with Steve and Team. What really stood out was how prompt they were in answering all my questions and how knowledgeable they were about both the market and the structure of the properties we viewed.
They were efficient, honest, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I felt confident every step of the way thanks to their credibility, integrity, and professionalism.
I highly recommend Mr Steve Rouleau to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive real estate agent in Montreal.”
– Rach De Luna, Google Review
We were consistently impressed
“We began the process of buying a condo for sale in Montreal without any experience or expertise, and could not be more grateful for the time, energy, and care that Steve put into helping us navigate the process.
Buying a home can be incredibly stressful and confusing, especially for first-time buyers like us, and Steve helped us navigate the process with such grace. We were consistently impressed with how Steve’s professional ethics and genuine kindness.
We have already recommended Steve to close family in the area, and truly couldn’t recommend Steve more highly to anyone looking for a Real estate agent in Montreal. Thank you, Steve!”

We reached out to her previous clients, and they told us how Ms Samson’s attentiveness helped them land a buyer for their properties. They told us how she took their wants into consideration and efficiently worked to find someone who would suit their demands.

From a buyer’s perspective, Ms Samson was praised for her hands-on approach. Our interviewees praised her for how she handled everything from negotiations to viewings and everything in between.
However, there were some discrepancies during our interviews regarding Ms Samson’s unresponsiveness at times.
