What Real Estate Partners does

Real Estate Partners, operating under the legal entity René Lemay Courtier Immobilier Inc. and doing business as Partenaires Immobiliers, is a Quebec-based private real estate brokerage founded in 2021 by licensed broker René Lemay. The firm describes itself as 'the smallest real estate agency in Quebec' and operates with a 1-10 employee team that includes multiple agents such as Jenny Milevschi, Élisabeth Perri, and Sheena Lang. Its headquarters is located at 683 Chemin Bassin in Bassin, Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, while service coverage extends across multiple Quebec regions including Gaspésie/Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Laurentides, Laval, Montréal, Rive-Nord, and Rive-Sud.

The firm's core offering is a bilingual (French/English) listing platform at partenairesimmobiliers.com that markets residential homes, commercial buildings, multi-unit dwellings, and land parcels, supplemented by broker profile pages, a mortgage calculator, a property comparison tool, and standard contact forms. Its underlying technology is described as an off-the-shelf real estate brokerage website with property search functionality, virtual tours, and standard CMS features — no proprietary technology, API, or AI/ML capabilities are documented. The business model is purely transaction-based: the firm earns commissions on completed property sales across both residential and commercial segments, with a particular specialization in coastal and island properties in the Magdalen Islands, bi-generational property concepts, and short-term rental permit transfers for hospitality and tourism investors. Distribution is direct through the agency website and individual agent relationships, with no disclosed enterprise or institutional customers.
