From the moment you contact us to the final handshake, here is exactly what to expect when you work with Rights in Realty.
Everything begins with a conversation. You can reach us by phone at +1 819 305-6912, by email at [email protected], or through the contact form on our website. During this first meeting — which can take place in person at our Sherbrooke office, by phone, or via video conference — we listen carefully to your situation, ask clarifying questions, and provide an honest assessment of your legal position.
We discuss timelines, potential challenges, and the likely costs involved. There is no obligation at this stage, and we never pressure you into retaining our services. Our goal is to give you enough information to make an informed decision about how to proceed.
If you decide to move forward, we formalize the relationship with a clear engagement letter that outlines the scope of work, the fee structure, and the expected timeline. We assign a dedicated attorney to your file who will be your primary point of contact throughout the process.
Together, we develop a strategic plan tailored to your matter. For a purchase transaction, this might include a checklist of documents to gather, a schedule of key dates, and a list of conditions to negotiate. For a dispute, we map out the research, negotiation, and — if necessary — litigation steps required to reach a resolution.
This is where the detailed legal work begins. Our team conducts thorough research specific to your file. For property transactions, we perform comprehensive title searches at the Quebec Land Registry Office, review municipal certificates, verify zoning compliance, and examine any existing servitudes, hypothecs, or encumbrances that could affect your rights.
For disputes, we gather evidence, review historical documents, consult with surveyors or appraisers as needed, and build a complete picture of the legal landscape surrounding your property. Every finding is documented and shared with you in plain language so you understand the implications.
Armed with our research, we move into the negotiation phase. Whether we are drafting an offer to purchase, revising a commercial lease, or proposing a settlement to a boundary dispute, we prepare all documents with meticulous attention to detail and advocate firmly for your interests.
We keep you informed at every stage, explaining any counter-proposals and advising you on the best course of action. No document is finalized without your review and approval. Our attorneys are experienced negotiators who know how to achieve favourable outcomes while maintaining professional relationships with opposing parties.
Once all terms are agreed upon, we coordinate the closing process. For transactions, this involves liaising with the notary, the mortgage lender, the real-estate broker, and any other parties to ensure that all conditions have been satisfied and that the closing can proceed on schedule.
We review the final notarial act before you sign, confirm that the financial adjustments are correct, and verify that all required documents have been registered at the land registry. On closing day, we are available to answer any last-minute questions and to ensure that the transfer of ownership or the execution of the agreement goes smoothly.
Our relationship does not end at the closing table. After the transaction is complete, we follow up to ensure that all registrations have been processed, that your title insurance is in order (if applicable), and that any outstanding conditions have been fulfilled. We keep a copy of your file for future reference, so if questions arise months or years later, we can quickly retrieve the relevant documents.
Many of our clients return to us for subsequent transactions, lease renewals, or new property matters. We consider it a privilege to build long-term relationships with the people and businesses we serve.
Every step we take is informed by these core commitments.
We provide clear fee estimates upfront and explain every legal concept in plain language. You will never be surprised by hidden charges or unexplained jargon. If something changes during the course of your matter, we communicate it immediately and discuss the implications together.
We return phone calls and emails within the same business day. Your dedicated attorney is always reachable, and we schedule meetings at times that work for you — including evenings and weekends when circumstances require it. Remote consultations are available for clients outside Sherbrooke.
We leave no stone unturned. Our research is exhaustive, our documentation is precise, and our review process catches issues before they become problems. This attention to detail has saved our clients from costly mistakes and protracted disputes time and again.
We respect your time and your budget. Our workflows are designed to minimize unnecessary delays, and we leverage technology — secure document sharing, electronic signatures, and video conferencing — to keep your matter moving forward without sacrificing quality.
Coming prepared helps us give you the most accurate advice from day one.
