When your posting date can’t move, a delayed sale or purchase gets expensive. Your residential transaction with me includes Tranquilli-T, the protection program offered by participating RE/MAX brokers, at no cost to you.
Delay and withdrawal
If the transaction is delayed or cancelled (financing withdrawn, fire, certificate of location issue…): temporary housing, storage and moving-company penalties covered for up to 180 days, after a $300 deductible.
Legal assistance
Unlimited calls with Quebec Bar lawyers during the protection period, plus guidance for small claims and amicable settlements.
Death
Coverage included in the program in case of death during the transaction, for your family.
RE/MAX Québec program offered by participating brokers, underwritten by the Insurance Company of Prince Edward Island. Eligible residential properties in Quebec (new construction excluded); conditions, limits and exclusions apply.
