Marc Smadja —Real Estate Broker

Before becoming a real estate broker, Marc spent years in environments where reading a market wrong had immediate consequences. He studied finance at Concordia University, then worked in corporate finance at Bell Canada and Hydro-Québec — where his responsibilities included hedging aluminum pricing on the London Metal Exchange. He went on to trade equities at Title Trading, a private Montreal firm. Those years built a discipline that carries directly into how he prices properties, reads negotiation dynamics, and advises clients through complex transactions.

Marc entered real estate in 2017, choosing to focus exclusively on the communities he already knew firsthand. He grew up in the West Island and has lived in Saint-Lazare since 2002. That's more than two decades of watching these neighborhoods change — knowing which streets hold their value, where new families are moving, what kinds of properties are drawing buyer attention in Hudson versus Vaudreuil-Dorion versus Beaconsfield. The difference between a broker who works in an area and a broker who has lived in it for over twenty years shows up in pricing, in showing conversations, and in knowing what a home is actually worth before the comparables confirm it.

Marc also built his own home from the ground up, acting as his own general contractor. It's the kind of experience that changes how you look at every property — not just the finishes and the staging, but the structure, the materials, and the details behind the walls that most brokers don't think to check.

Today, over 90% of Marc's business comes from past client referrals and repeat clients — the strongest proof that the experience delivers, and the hardest number to manufacture.
