Nobody talks enough about what happens after the signature.
You have just bought. The notary is paid, the welcome tax is on its way, and you discover that the house needs blinds, a fridge, an alarm system, paint, a lawn mower, a moving company, and probably a plumber. Post-purchase expenses represent a significant share of the real cost of moving, and they arrive at the worst possible time: right after the account has been emptied.
My RE/MAX Discounts addresses that moment.
What it is
My RE/MAX Discounts is an exclusive benefits program offered by RE/MAX Québec. It gives access to negotiated offers on a wide range of products and services from selected partners.
The program is completely free. There is no membership fee, no subscription, no card to pay for. It is a benefit attached to having worked with a RE/MAX broker.
The types of offers
The program groups three categories:
Year-round discounts. Agreements valid all year with participating partners. These are the offers you can count on when planning an expense.
Limited-time promotions. One-off offers, often more aggressive, tied to a particular period or partner.
Featured products. Items highlighted at reduced prices, refreshed over time.
The partner network is selected by RE/MAX Québec. The list evolves, which is why access goes through the official platform rather than a frozen list on my site.
How to access it
The process comes down to three steps.
1. Create your account on the My RE/MAX platform.
2. Browse the available offers. You see the active discounts, the conditions and the participating partners.
3. Redeem your discount the way the offer provides:
- by presenting a promotional code at checkout in store;
- by entering the code at payment online;
- or by booking a personalized consultation with an in-store advisor.
That is it. No complex procedure, no obligation to buy.
Why I bring it up
Let’s be clear about the nature of this program: it is not legal protection and it is not a warranty. It is a concrete financial benefit, and it only has value if you know it exists.
That is precisely the problem I observe. Many clients close their transaction, receive the information, set it aside, and never use it. Six months later, they have bought their appliances at full price.
My work does not stop at handing over the keys. Once the transaction closes, I remind you what you are entitled to, while it is still useful.
What it actually represents
Add up what a typical move involves over the following six months: moving services, paint and materials, appliances, furniture, blinds and curtains, landscaping, a locksmith, security, home insurance, cleaning supplies. Depending on the property, you are easily looking at several thousand dollars.
A 10 or 15 percent discount on part of that is not trivial. It is money that stays in your account, during a period when every dollar counts more than usual.
An honest note
I would not choose a broker for their discount program, and neither should you. The quality of the negotiation, the accuracy of the valuation and the rigour of the file are worth infinitely more than any coupon.
But when the program is free, requires no commitment, and lands exactly when your expenses peak, there is no reason to leave it on the table.
If you have transacted with me and have not activated your access yet, write to me. I will send you the steps.
