Ana and her team have been wonderful and supportive to purchase my first home. Ana has tremendous knowledge and great advice and knows the Montreal market very well. It was a pleasure working with them and strongly encourage anyone to work with them. Ana visited several properties with me and always offered her professional opinion and with her advice, I purchased my dream home. Thanks Ana!

Ana and Team Duque Simms are knowledgeable, professional, efficient, thorough and fun to work with.

It was not only a pleasure to work with Ana. She got the job done. And this after looking for a very long time in a seller’s market! Ana took the time to get to know what we wanted and visit properties shared valuable insights into streets/locations and construction types that helped us make informed decisions. When my wife and I were discouraged with the prices and availability in the market and considered settling for less, or biting the bullet and paying much more, Ana encouraged us to stay true to what we wanted. Within weeks we found our home, and within less than 2 months we closed on it.

If you are looking to buy a home in Montreal I can confidently say that you are in very good hands with Ana and Team Duque Simms.

Nous voulons mon épouse et moi te faire part de notre très grande satisfaction. Ceci à l’égard de tes services et ton professionnalisme pour la vente de notre propriété à NDG. De plus, je tiens à te remercier personnellement d’avoir été patiente et à l’écoute de nos besoins. Soit sûre que je n’hésiterai pas à te référer à tout ceux qui désirent vendre leurs propriétés. Merci encore une fois en nos deux noms.

Si vous avez besoin d’un courtier immobilier, je vous recommande fortement l’équipe d’Ana Duque et de Louise Goudreault. Il est très avantageux de travailler avec un courtier, et cette équipe est sympathique, pro-active et efficace. En bref, attendez-vous à l’excellence. À partir de vos critères et de vos contraintes, elles vous aideront et vous accompagneront jusqu’à l’atteinte de vos rêves.

Nous connaissions déjà Montréal et, l’année dernière, la possibilité de venir nous y installer s’est concrétisée. Nous avions peu de temps devant nous pour préparer notre départ et trouver une maison où nous installer durablement.

Ana et Daniel ont immédiatement pris en compte nos attentes et nos demandes. Ils en ont même profité pour nous faire découvrir un quartier que nous ne connaissions pas et qui est devenu « notre » quartier.

Rien ne semble insurmontable à cette équipe de choc. C’est assez rassurant quand on arrive de la vieille Europe où les règles et habitudes sont différentes. Nous les remercions encore d’avoir su nous éclairer en temps réel sur les mille et un détails administratifs ou financiers qui composent une transaction. De plus, ils ajoutent à leurs services un véritable suivi et, à ce jour, les quelques travaux à entreprendre dans la maison sont en bonne voie. Bravo à tous les deux!

Ana helped my husband and I buy our first home and we could not have asked for a better partner to lead us through this journey. She is immensely knowledgeable about all things house, renovations and architecture related — and has personal experience in owning and flipping homes all over the city, so she is well versed in many different neighbourhoods. She is patient, kind, clear and an incredibly strong negotiator.. not to mention unbelievably well respected in the industry by her peers. She guided us through every step of the way, listening carefully to what we were looking for, taking the time to answer all of our (millions) of questions, pointing out things of interest and importance to us that we would have otherwise missed and all of this with the biggest smile. She is a person that truly loves what she does and that joy and passion in her work translates into her being by far the best real property representation one could ask for. Hire her. You wont regret it.

In my work, I have dealt with dozens of professionals from diverse backgrounds and fields, and my experience with Ana and Dan was top notch, among the very best. Every step of the way, they were responsive, diligent, determined, and altogether enjoyable to work with. Through a sale and a purchase, I felt supported by their expertise, including architectural vision, and a savvy and personalized sense of the market and neighbourhoods. My questions were always answered quickly and clearly, and during negotiations, I was confident that my interests were well-represented. I feel fortunate to have worked with Ana and Dan, and enthusiastically recommend this team. Yes, I love my new place!

Déménager dans une nouvelle ville implique des choix importants. Le lieu d’habitation est un des plus déterminants car il définit le style de vie que l’on aura. C’est pour cette raison que quand nous sommes arrivés à Montréal nous cherchions plus qu’un simple agent immobilier qui nous montre quelques propriétés. Nous voulions quelqu’un avec une bonne écoute qui arrive à bien comprendre nos rêves et aspirations, qui ait une excellente connaissance de la ville pour nous orienter sur le bon quartier, une sensibilité du marché développée, pour nous aider dans les négociations. Quelqu’un qui soit bien connecté pour nous référer aux experts nécessaires à notre projet, qui ait de la vision pour voir le potentiel sous exploité dans une propriété, une personne diligente, professionnelle, fiable et avec un bon esprit de service. En résumé, nous cherchions la perle rare! Et nous l’avons trouvée dans l’équipe de Ana Duque et Daniel Simms.

Ils nous ont aidé, à distance, dans la réalisation de notre projet immobilier et ont conclu pour nous de façon remarquable notre transaction. Nous les conseillons sans hésiter à tous ceux qui viennent comme nous s’installer à Montréal.

Ana is by far the most professional and trustworthy real estate agent that we have worked with. Furthermore, her warm and friendly manner makes it easy to work as a team.

Lorsque nous avons pris la décision d’acheter une maison, nous étions certains que Ana Duque était l’agent immobilier idéal pour nous. Nous savions qu’elle allait nous offrir un éventail de possibilités proches à nos besoins, et qu’elle irait jusqu’au bout pour trouver notre propriété de rêves. Tout au long du processus de négociation, elle s’est montrée diligente, toujours disponible, prête à répondre à nos innombrables questions et avec une excellente disposition pour nous guider dans la stratégie de négociation. Elle a toujours pris le temps de faire les recherches nécessaires afin d’assurer une négociation juste et équilibrée pour toutes les parties. Elle prend soin de chaque détail sans laisser rien au hasard, elle respecte les échéanciers et elle étudie en détail tous les documents et informations qui gravitent autour de la propriété. Finalement, elle est un agent fiable, responsable, avec une large expérience dans son domaine et professionnelle. Ce qui nous donne le plus de confiance c’est le fait qu’elle est une personne qui croit en ce qu’elle fait et qui aime faire son travail. Je vous recommande Ana pour acheter votre propriété, c’est certain que vous allez tomber dans les bonnes mains!

It is pleasure to express my views and true feeling about the excellent customer services I have received from Mrs. Ana Duque since year 2010 when I was looking for a nice comfortable accommodation to buy in Montreal.

As a matter of fact I employed Ana services for even selling the same condo that she brokered for me to purchase, through her again, knowing I am in good hands. I also had a good service from her in renting a condo in Montreal with her rapid response and sense of responsibility as well as much effort and patience putting into my request.

I would gladly recommend her services to any other potential client of hers.

It is with pleasure that we share our experience with Ana Duque & Daniel Simms in the listing and sale of the first as well as the second home of our aged parents in the very competitive NDG market. Ana and Daniel possess all the essential qualities of excellent brokers: they know their market extremely well; they are diligent, very professional and personable. They clearly take pride in doing a good job.

My recent experience with Ana Duque and Daniel Simms was a rewarding experience. They were professional and courteous in their approach to both the appraisal and the sale of my property. Further they brought traffic and generated interest in a tight market and advocated for the best sale price. Later, they continued to guide me flawlessly through the sale process. If I were to sell another property, it is this couple that I would phone.

Ana’s architectural background proved invaluable in our search for a new home for our young family. Her familiarity with building materials and construction practices added a depth to our evaluation process that would have otherwise only been “skin deep”. Dan’s commitment to our client satisfaction was evident long after we agreed to a purchase price. He helped us with advice on repairs, renovations, put us in contact with relevant experts, represented our interests and followed through until the sale was concluded.

Since the first time we met Ana, we were absolutely glad that she understood what we had in mind for “Our Home”. It took her only a couple of conversations to really capture our idea and transform it into a house hunting project. Her ability to actively listen allowed her to narrow the options, saved us time and ultimately found us our dream home. During the visits, Ana demonstrated that she was very knowledgable, not only about the neighbourhood, the streets, the houses around but also how she analyzed the architectural features and the technical details of the places we visited. We were impressed when we realized how many things you can overlook in a visit without the proper guidance. At the time when we found it, Ana did a fantastic job at negotiating price. She built a long lasting business and personal relationship. Today we have “Our Home” and we are very grateful to Ana for her tremendous support.

Ana’s professionalism, attention to detail in all aspects of the selling process and warm personality made selling my condo a very hassle-free experience. In today’s very competitive condo market, I got 95% of my asking price and the highest bang-for-my-buck per square foot! I would use Ana again in a heartbeat.

You will not find better realtors the Duque Simms team. When we sold they were able to generate multiple offers and bidding war for us. When we bought our next place they got us an incredible deal. More than though, this team is extraordinarily knowledgeable and professional. We were NOT pawned off to minions, we got personal attention from the firm’s principals. This team gets you a network. Duque Simms helped us get in touch with the right people for our mortgage, referred great contractors and tradespeople for our renos and even helped us navigate other parts of the buying and selling journey. They made what could have been a stressful and painful experience amazing. Hire them.
