What arrives in your inbox

Two things most people never get in the same place.

Property listings are easy to find. What they never tell you is whether the move actually works financially. You'll get both.

01

A shortlist built around your answers

Properties in Lachine and the surrounding sectors filtered against your budget, the type of home you want, and when you're planning to move. Hand-picked — including listings that haven't hit the portals yet.

02

What your current home is worth

A realistic value range based on genuinely comparable recent sales in your sector — not an algorithm's guess, and not the number that gets you to book a meeting.

03

What's actually left over

Sale price minus your remaining mortgage, brokerage fees, the notary and the move itself — set against the cost of the next place. The number that decides whether downsizing makes sense at all.

Who's sending it

François Mackay

Downsizing files land differently than any other kind of sale. There's usually a house full of thirty years, a family with opinions, and a deadline nobody set out loud. François works these moves at the pace they deserve — plainly, without pressure, and with the arithmetic on the table before anyone talks about listing.

He isn't doing it alone, either. Behind him sit 75 certified brokers and three decades of Groupe Mackay transactions across Montreal and the South Shore — which is how a bungalow in Lachine gets the same marketing attention as a property downtown.

What clients say

Thirty years of this, in their words.

Buyers, sellers and investors across Montreal and the South Shore.

"Three days on the market, seven offers on the table. I thought that kind of thing was marketing hype until it happened to me. The listing was polished, the price was right, and we sold above what I'd hoped for."

SB
Sylvain Bouchard
Seller · Brossard

"My sister referred me, and now I understand why she insisted so much. The same seriousness, the same straight talk, the same attention to detail she'd told me about. I've already passed the number to two colleagues — trust like that gets handed down."

SO
Stéphane Ouellet
Buyer · Saint-Constant

"Buying our first home terrified us. François took the time to explain everything, never rushing us. We signed for a cottage in Longueuil that we love — and most of all, we understood every step instead of just enduring it."

ML
Marie-Pier et Antoine Lavoie
First-time buyers · Longueuil

"We wanted a yard for the kids, a good school within walking distance, and a basement for my workshop. Lisa listened to the whole list and found us exactly that in Saint-Bruno. Nothing was left to chance."

GP
Geneviève et Marc Pelletier
Buyers · Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville

"I was hunting for a brand-new condo downtown with zero clue about developer pre-construction contracts. Every clause was broken down for me, two pitfalls were flagged, and I bought with total confidence. My very first place of my own."

JN
Jasmine Nguyen
Buyer · Downtown Montreal

"With a plex, the numbers matter more than falling in love with it. We went through net income, the state of the leases and the renovation upside before we even toured it. I added a fourplex in Verdun to my portfolio — on solid footing, not a gut feeling."

Before you fill it in

The questions people ask first.

Is this really free?
Yes — the shortlist and the value estimate both cost nothing and commit you to nothing. Groupe Mackay is paid on completed transactions, so there's no reason to charge for the research that comes before one.
Do I have to sell to receive it?
No. A good share of the people who fill this in are twelve to twenty-four months from moving and simply want accurate numbers to plan around. If waiting serves you better, that's what François will tell you.
How exact can the value estimate be without a visit?
It's a range, not a precise figure — built from genuinely comparable recent sales in your sector. Tightening it to a single number takes a walk through the property, which is free too, and entirely your call afterwards.
What happens after I submit?
You'll go straight to a page where you can book a short phone call if you'd like one. The shortlist and your numbers follow by email within one business day — whether or not you book anything.
Will I be added to a mailing list?
Only if you ask to be. Your details stay inside Groupe Mackay, are never sold or shared, and one reply is enough to stop hearing from us entirely.
Est-ce qu'on peut continuer en français?
Bien sûr. Groupe Mackay serves clients in French and English across Quebec — just mention your preference and everything that follows will be in French.
