Join a Real Estate Team in Montreal

Why brokers look at teams

Working solo means generating your own business, doing your own paperwork and learning alone. A team trades part of each commission for support: leads, training, administration and systems. Whether that trade makes sense depends on how many transactions you can close with and without that support. Our guide to real estate agent income in Montreal walks through how commission splits work in Quebec.

What Montreal’s Elite Real Estate Group offers

The team summarizes its offer as A.T.L.A.S.: atmosphere, training, leads, administration and systems. Here is what that means in practice.

• Atmosphere: an office of more than 4,500 sq ft in Pointe-Claire, at no cost to the team’s brokers, and a team culture built to make the work less isolating.
• Training: sessions twice a week, from identifying building materials to presenting and defending your commission.
• Leads: leads delivered into your CRM, plus prospecting lists imported into your system so you can call, track and follow up.
• Administration: an admin team that handles listing and open house prep, notary communication, file management and client care, down to ordering signs and mailing client birthday cards.
• Systems: CRM automation, dialers, listing presentations and drip campaigns, set up for you.

The team is bilingual and works under eXp Realty (agency disclosure: EXP AGENCE IMMOBILIÈRE). The full details are on the Careers page, and our guide on how to choose a real estate team in Quebec covers what to compare.

Who it fits

• Newly licensed brokers who want structure, training and a pipeline from day one.
• Experienced brokers who want to hand off administration and focus on clients.
• Bilingual brokers who want to serve Montreal and the West Island.
• People who like working from an office with colleagues, not alone from home.

It may not fit a broker who wants full control of every lead source and keeps their whole commission without shared support. That is a legitimate choice, and it is worth being honest with yourself about which one you are.

The licence requirement: OACIQ

In Quebec, real estate brokerage is regulated by the Organisme d’autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec (OACIQ). According to the OACIQ’s steps to become a broker, you must:

1. Choose residential brokerage, commercial brokerage, or both.
2. Complete a basic training program recognized by the OACIQ. For residential brokerage, the new programs require at least 450 hours, including 45 hours of practical application.
3. Register for and pass the OACIQ certification exam. To register, you must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident or hold a valid Canadian work permit (OACIQ exam registration).
4. Apply for your licence within 12 months of receiving your result. The OACIQ checks criminal, penal and disciplinary history and bankruptcy (OACIQ licence application).
5. If you took the exam in English, provide proof of French knowledge with your licence application.
6. Keep the licence valid: by April 30 each year, pay annual fees and update your information, and meet the mandatory continuing education requirements.

Already licensed? You can verify any broker’s status in the OACIQ public register.
