Your property has a story. We know how to tell it, and to whom.
Espace Loft is a real estate team at eXp Agence Immobilière.
Our vision
Marketing, thought through down to the last detail.
A well-presented property, in front of the right buyers, from day one: that is what sets the price. To us, every sale is a launch. We prepare the property, show it at its best and put it everywhere its buyers are looking.
Nothing is left to chance: the light in the photos, the wording of the listing, the date of the open house, the answer to a buyer's pointed question about the condo association. Visibility and price are decided in those details.
Selling is a big decision. Our job
is to make it simple, calm and rewarding for you.
Olivier and Amélie

Sale of an undivided co-ownership condoJe tiens à exprimer ma profonde gratitude envers Olivier pour son accompagnement exceptionnel dans la vente de mon condo indivis. Face à une transaction complexe, notamment en raison de travaux majeurs à effectuer sur la fondation, Olivier a su faire preuve d'une maîtrise et d'une connaissance du marché hors pair. Sa capacité à naviguer dans les méandres de cette vente difficile, tout en faisant preuve d'une grande empathie à mon égard, a rendu ce processus bien plus serein que je n'aurais pu l'imaginer. Son expertise et son soutien infaillible ont été déterminants dans la réussite de cette vente. Un grand merci à Olivier pour son professionnalisme et sa bienveillance!

Frequently asked
What sellers ask us the most.
It depends on the neighbourhood, the building, the condition of the property and, above all, the price. Rather than an average that says nothing about your case, we show you at the evaluation the actual timelines of the latest sales in your building or your area, and the prices they closed at.
The evaluation is entirely free and carries no commitment. We show you the comparables in your building, the neighbourhood price per sq. ft. and a realistic price range. You then decide whether to go further: no pressure, no fee.
A loft does not sell like a condo. A loft buyer is after a very specific kind of property: industrial character, high ceilings, exposed brick, a heritage building. Our site received 33,200 visits from Google in 12 months (Search Console, September 2026), from people looking for exactly this kind of property. Your loft is shown to the people looking for it, not just lost on Centris.
The commission is negotiable and discussed at the evaluation. It always includes: architectural photography, immersive video, staging where needed, targeted marketing (Centris, REALTOR, espaceloft.com, the newsletter, social media) and full support through to the signing at the notary. No hidden fees.
We work with genuine lofts anywhere on the island of Montreal and on the Rive-Sud. The criterion is the character of the loft, not the address. A true industrial loft in Lachine, in Verdun, in Saint-Léonard or in the suburbs interests us as much as one in Vieux-Mtl. Get in touch and we will tell you.
Yes, it can be done: the buyer simply takes over the lease on the same terms. We have handled several sales of rented lofts (investors, heirs, tenants in place). There are logistical wrinkles depending on your situation, but nothing insurmountable. Let us go through it at the evaluation.

Your broker
A question? Let’s talk.
Loft or any other property, buying or selling: we take the time to understand what you’re looking for before suggesting anything.
“Sometimes the best advice I can give you is to look somewhere else. You’ll know before you’ve even visited.”
Whether you’re torn between two areas, want to compare numbers, or just want to see inside a loft, we take the time it needs. No pressure.
