An agent from Katrina Montgomery cold called me for realtor services when I was house hunting. It was a call that deeply improved my quality of life. Victoria our agent went above and beyond in terms of sourcing houses to visit, asking questions, keeping me informed, quick to respond. She was a realtor and my person advocate once we offered making sure we were well taken care of through the process. I recommend her and this agency to anyone who is in the market or thinking of it. Plus they donate a part of the proceeds to an amazing Montreal org supporting single mothers. Excellent experience.

If anyone is looking for THE best broker in town, the choice is easy; Victoria Alescio, the absolute most caring and most devoted broker I have ever worked with. She is, without a doubt, the definition of a white glove service when it comes to real estate transactions. Buying a property is a rollercoaster of emotions and I can assure you that without Victoria I would’ve abandoned, especially with our crazy current market. Organized, efficient and knowledgeable, she guided me through this storm and made this a pleasant experience. She is truly devoted to her work and I am beyond thankful for all the work she’s done. I wish everyone the chance to work with her. Thank you a thousand times Victoria, you went above and beyond. I will definitely be looking forward to do more business with you. Keep up the good work, the real estate market needs people like you!

I have been working with Melissa since last year and she has been super informational and helpful the whole time. I was originally in the market to buy (Duplex, single family home). Melissa and Victoria came with us to visit numerous places, providing insight and advice along the way, asking the right questions that we did not necessarily know to ask. I ended up renting to get an idea of the Griffintown area instead. Melissa supported the idea and this pattern of Melissa and her team putting the client first continues to this day. Once I was sure I was happy with my first year of living in Griffin town (who wouldn’t be?), we rebooted the search to purchase a condo in Griffintown given my list of desired features. Many visits later and several interesting situations later, which Melissa once again navigated us through, we received an accepted offer and am moving in January 2021. Thank you to Melissa and her team for the detail in their work, not missing a beat whether it was about questions to ask, documents to review and sign, or anything else you could think of. I have a broker and great friend for life and would redo this whole process with Melissa any day. This reads like an overly positive review because our expectations were always met or exceeded, so it is my direct and true sentiment. I strongly suggest (rather implore you) to contact Melissa, Victoria and the entire team to handle your next home buying or selling transaction!

I worked with Melissa to find an investment unit. We ended up purchasing in an area we hadn't looked into before thanks to Melissa constantly on the lookout for great options for what we wanted. We were able to close fast & under asking. Melissa was very patient, professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. Definitely recommend.

I love doing business with Katrina and her team! As a collaborating agent, it's always easier to bring clients to Katrina's listings because she is so organized. She has all the documents we can ask for and her team is always available to answer any questions I might have. It's a real pleasure doing business with you Katrina!

Shashidhar Reddy

After meeting with many agents to purchase my first home i was never felt the right person to go ahead in the process and finally contacted MELISSA PIRRERA through some post on facebook and i still remember our first zoom meeting, the way she explained all the process step by step and that day i felt, she is the right person to trust and go ahead. She is very professional, detailed and very reassuring for a first-time buyer. Finally i got my first home at my first offer with her guidance and recommendations with in a month. Thankyou so much Melissa for your services and We are highly satisfied.

After a long year of endless searching, Victoria, my broker, has helped me and guided me to help me find my dream home. I highly recommend to anyone who is searching for a great home and a personalised experience from beginning to end. I had many troubles from the bank but Victoria helped me and took care of everything for me. I highly recommend her and this agency. Thank you Victoria!

Eric Haley

Katrina and Melissa were extremely helpful and patient in my quest to purchase my first property. They fully explained the steps in the homebuying process, and were incredibly knowledgeable of the various quirks of each neighborhoods (potential water infiltration). They were always available, and always on the lookout for my particular needs. Throughout the process, I must have visited at least 50 properties. In the end, I am extremely happy with my purchase, and would fully recommend them to all my friends and family.

Ken Filgiano

We worked with Melissa Pierrera to buy our first home and would highly recommend her services. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and gave us great advice through the entire journey. She was particular great in terms of communications, always available and provided a great professional opinion. This is a tough market for a buyer but she was amazing at making sure we got into our visits early and provided us all relevant market information.

I met Katrina twice but delt more with Melissa as she was assigned my file. They both very professional. Melissa was awesome all the way through. She would do what it takes to make a sale. I'm glad to have chosen this team . Strongly recommended.

Marina Iskander

I have recently bought my first condo in Griffintown. I had an initial meeting with Melissa Pirrera, she listened tentatively and noted all my requirements. She accompanied me on all the visits and went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I am looking for. She was always available, responsive and provided guidance and accurate information to all my questions. As a first-time buyer, Melissa has made the process stress-free and fun! It's needless to say, Melissa's value add was priceless.

After having a very pleasant experience working with Melissa last year, we had no hesitate to ask her to further help us find a house. At first she made us understand how the market for condos differs from single-family homes. Because we didn't really have a specific idea about the house we're looking for at the beginning, Melissa helped us set up several searches in different areas from West Island over Bois-Franc to South Shore. With the preferences we chose, she quickly sensed what we actually want and managed to narrow the search results to what may most interest us. Whenever we found an interesting listing, Melissa could always offer us the needed information right away to help us make a decision. We feel more confident and comfortable with her accompany during visits, because she would remind us asking some questions we didn't think of. Even though we already went through the purchase process before, Melissa still guided us very patiently step by step after we decided to give an offer. With her efficient work we were lucky to be able to act fast and avoid a situation of multiple offer. As for the negotiation after inspection we also appreciated her efforts to make sure our rights are adequately formulated in the amendments. A BIG THANKS to Melissa and her team.

Team Montgomery is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. They just get the fact that real-estate is not just about posting your house on Centris. They are super pro-active, use all the new tools and techniques available today like all the social media as an example, to find your buyer or find the perfect property for you! I HIGHLY recommend them and will not hesitate to take them back as my real-estate agent when comes time to sell or buy my new property. MANY THANKS to the entire team for being there for me along the way!

I met Melissa in Dec. 2018 and continued shopping with her till June 2019. As a first-time homebuyers, she drove us through the process. She was patient and professional through out the process. I'm glad to have chosen this team. I strongly recommend her.

Helen Li

We have such a pleasant experience working with Melissa Pirrera for buying our first house in Montreal. We were looking for specific characteristics and within a particular area for the property, which made the search harder than usual. There were hardly similar properties available on the market and we thought that it was going to take a long time and even so we may not be able to find one. Melissa was constantly searching for us and always very patient and honest about each place that we inquired. In order to expand the possibilities, she also sent out letters to the properties within our search area that were not listed publicly. She hand wrote all the envelopes and sent at least two batches out. She was always positive, encouraging and confident. She kept telling us that she believes that we will find the house of our wish, and she was not going to give up until we find one. She even told her team to watch out the information for us. Indeed, she was right and with her help, now we just moved into our dream home and we are happily decorating our new home. During the entire purchasing process, Melissa guided us step by step, and quite a few times we have to go over things very late at night because we work during the day. She also recommended very professional banker, inspector, etc to us so that everything went smoothly and got completed before long. We appreciate greatly what Mellisa has done for us, including her team. We highly recommend her to anyone who wants to buy a home in Montreal, she is the best!

Recently we bought a nice condo close to downtown Montreal. Our real estate agent was Melissa. We are really very satisfied with her service. She took extra miles to make sure we get the right property based on our budget. She even went with us during inspection and notary which I guess most agents will not do. So if you want to buy a property and looking for a real estate agent I will really recommend Melissa.

Karina Iermieri

With guidance from Melissa Pirrera, I was able to purchase my first Condo. I was extremely pleased with the level of service and commitment she showed. Melissa held my hand throughout the whole process, providing insight and advice along the way. She listened to my needs, respected my "non-negotiables" and helped me find exactly what I was looking for. Melissa is patient, hard working and extremely caring. She was just as excited as I was when my offer was accepted! I look forward to working with Melissa again, when it comes time to look for my dream home.

Asma Baatour

Excellent excellent team!!!! We bought a beautiful duplex thanks to Melissa Pirrera who is part of Katrina's Team! I honestly recommend this team for both sellers and buyers! Note for 1st time buyers (such as myself): you don't incur any fees when you have a broker with you! (they split the seller's broker commission) so you really have noting to loose and every thing to gain by working with a broker! Specifically in this super fast moving market! And it's very important that the broker is knowledgeable and super organized like Melissa / Katrina's team! There is a lot of paper work and things need to be documented properly! (or you can have issues later) Our duplex is in NDG but Katrina's team know a lot of other neighborhoods such as Westmount, West island, Lasalle, Lachine, etc.! Melissa knows Laval super well too! It is good that the broker knows the area so they can give you specific pointers on issues that are frequent / usual in certain areas. So that you'll be more careful/mindful of these things when buying. Read below for more details! (I'm taking the time to write this detailed review because they really deserve it! Again thanks so much Melissa/Katrina and the team!) I first met Katrina when I was trying to buy a condo 2-3 years ago (in 2017). She was the seller's broker. I didn't buy that condo (because we ended up deciding that we needed an extra room), but I remembered how good she was: the listing was super clear the pictures were beautiful (and I know that she helped the seller with all of that)! The condo was beautiful but the listing was giving it its full value (not like many other properties we encountered) giving the seller the best chances/opportunities to sell! Our buying project was put on hold for personal reasons. Then we decided to start again on November 2019. I contacted Katrina because, as mentioned above, I was super impressed with her. It's Melissa that took over, at first I was reluctant because I wanted Katrina to be in charge, but Melissa was great and Katrina was always available to give additional advises! The way they structure their team makes them more efficient! .... There is still so much to say on this excellent team... I just cannot capture all of it in one review!

As a first time buyer, I was lost and overwhelmed by the complexities of purchasing and owning property, until Katrina Montgomery became my agent. She assigned my file to her associate, Melissa Pirrera who was unbelievably helpful guiding me through the complexity of the residential real estate market. She was polite, patient and constantly available. Melissa would send me listings as soon as they became available, booked visits and came with me to visit at least 20 properties. She guided me through the purchase offer process, came to the building inspection as well as closing with the notary. She was always available: day, evening and weekend. Katrina and Melissa are the reason I found my dream home without going a penny over budget. When it comes time to sell and buy a bigger home, I know I won’t have to worry about choosing a realtor, I’ve already found the best.

Jennifer Udvarhelyi

I just recently sold my house with Katrina and Melissa in a very short period of time. They were extremely professional, organized and a pleasure to deal with. They made the selling process as easy and smooth as possible. I recommend Katrina and her team over any other agents I have ever used, and I will be asking them to help me buy my next property as well.

David Morgan

I worked with Melissa who i found very professional and committed to her work. We managed to negotiate a purchase price under ask in a fast moving market. Definitely recommend

Above and beyond. I worked with Melissa Pirreira and she was beyond fantastic. Not only is she very warm, welcoming and easy to speak to, she always is extremely professional and will go out of her way to make sure things are done correctly. She's not just looking to make a quick sale, she always ensures the buyer is protected. I bought a property with her AND it was off market. You will not be dissapointed! THANK YOU!

Giovanna Pirrera

After losing my husband of 30 years, I decided to sell my house in Morin-Heights where my husband and I had lived in for 20 years and buy a condo in Laval. Melissa guided me through the buying process first and then through the selling process. She made me aware of what my needs really were when buying my condo. At first she was hesitant about taking the listing to sell my residence since she is my niece and thought that she would be too emotionally involved to be impartial. It was a house where she had spent a lot of time in, holidays and special family events and many happy memories. Through the whole process her professionalism never faltered, personal feelings never got in the way of her professionalism, treating the potential buyers fairly and with the utmost respect. She never let her emotions get in the way of getting the job done. She was there with information and guidance at every step of the processes. When selling my home, she was always present with every visitor in a multiple offer situation. Without being partial, Melissa is the hardest working real estate agent I have ever worked with. All details are clearly explained and taken care of with the utmost precision. I am proud to recommend her to friends and acquaintances. I know she won’t let them down!

Marlena Koury

I had the pleasure of working with Victoria Alescio while buying my first condo. Not only is she professional, but also kind enough to answer my constant questions as I was unfamiliar with the purchasing process. I purchased my property during the covid pandemic, which wasn’t an easy process. Luckily, she was able to recommend reputable mortgage and inspection agents to get all of the paper work done on time. I was lucky to have her as my real estate agent during these difficult times. I would definitely recommend Victoria thanks to her professionalism, punctuality and knowledge of real estate.

I was fortunate enough to have a realtor that not only researched the hell out of the market, but made it a priority to being present at every single viewing. Victoria Alescio was TOP. Her determination, question asking, and encouraging texts made it a great experience. House hunting can be stressful, but she made it fun and enjoyable. We shared many laughs. Best to the team and most of all for Victoria for such a great service experience! Happy new year
