Originally from the Eastern Townships, Marie-Piers was literally raised in the field of real estate, having grown up in a family of large-scale contractors and real estate developers. With some regret, but also a lot of determination, she left home to pursue studies in hotel management in Montreal.

She has that enviable quality so prized in a field that depends on human relationships: she immediately gains your trust. She attributes her quiet strength to growing up with a mother who ran a business in the Eastern Townships, which helped her realize early on that she wanted to work in sales and gave her the confidence to study business administration, law and psychology before going on to work in real estate.

For more than a decade, he honed his customer service skills in this field and gave free rein to one of his passions: meeting with and speaking to people and being attentive to their needs.
