Questions about choosing a real estate platform: DeLacheteur.com vs DuProprio
The recent partnership between Desjardins, a leader in the financial sector, and DuProprio raises pertinent questions about the scope of the latter’s real estate services. Following Desjardins’ takeover of DuProprio, challenges are emerging regarding the legitimacy of the platform’s operations. In particular, some observers are questioning DuProprio’s position, often perceived as that of a real estate broker, despite an apparent lack of official O.A.C.I.Q. accreditation.
DuProprio, under the direction of Desjardins, offers an alternative to the traditional real estate brokerage model by offering real estate services without an “agent”, which raises questions about its compliance with OACIQ regulations requiring that paid brokerage services be offered only by its accredited members. This situation highlights the legal compliance challenges that DuProprio faces in the field as part of this regulation.

Legal and Compliance

DeLacheteur.com: a transparent alternative: all brokers using it are regulated Faced with the uncertainties raised by the practice of DuProprio, DeLacheteur.com is emerging as a platform that values transparency and compliance with current regulations. Our goal is to protect buyers’ interests through clear representation by real estate brokers who have signed a C.C.A. (contrat de courtage achat) with their buyers.
Comparative Analysis of Services
  • DuProprio
    • Services: Offers direct marketing tools, allowing sellers to manage their own visits and negotiations.
    • Costs: Involves fees of up to $2,000, covering sales tools but without the support of a regulated professional.
    • Positioning: Operates much more like an advertising platform.
  • DeLacheteur.com
    • Services: Facilitates the connection between sellers and pre-qualified buyers without a real estate appraisal or marketing strategy.
    • Costs: No fees for sellers, focusing on a smooth and secure transaction by accompanying buyers with their brokers.
    • Benefits: We aim to offer maximum discretion and efficiency, avoiding conflicts of interest. There will be no signage on the property, and we will avoid any advertising that makes explicit the photo and address of your home.
Public Perception and Professional Positioning Despite a general lack of understanding of regulatory intricacies, the Quebec public is often attracted by seemingly advantageous real estate transactions without measuring the legal risks involved. DuProprio, despite its high profile, is attracting the attention of industry professionals, particularly following its acquisition by Desjardins for $63 million, which foreshadows future strategies potentially in conflict with OACIQ guidelines.

Conclusion: Why choose DeLacheteur.com?

DeLacheteur.com offers a standards-based solution, ensuring full compliance with OACIQ regulations. Our platform offers a no-cost process for sellers, making it simple to connect with serious, pre-qualified buyers. In a market where transparency and legality are paramount, DeLacheteur.com is positioned as a prudent and advantageous choice for sellers wishing to manage the sale of their property themselves, with the assurance of professional guidance for their buyers.

Important notice: Recognizing the importance of each party being represented by its own broker, we recommend that everyone, including sellers, choose a broker who will represent them personally in all transactions.

Always get the best possible representation!

Your broker will explore all options: from homes listed by other brokers via Centris, to those sold directly by owners on DuProprio, Publi-Maison, and LesPAC, to properties from finance takeovers or estates. This way, you’re sure not to miss any opportunities that might be of interest to you.
