Our values

Tenant care is our first priority.

CGK Realties is a family-run company. We own the buildings we rent and manage them directly from our Laval office, so the people making the decisions are never far away.

The tenant comes first. Our relationship with our tenants doesn’t end when the lease is signed. Our team remains available throughout the tenancy, with property management and maintenance handled directly by us.

Clear from the start. What’s included varies from one building to another. We provide the details upfront so you know what to expect before you move in.

Buildings we own and manage. We take a long-term approach to our properties, maintaining and improving them with the same care and attention we expect for our own buildings.

How we work

What you can expect from us.

Four principles that guide how we manage our buildings and serve our tenants.

I

Direct management

We own and manage our buildings ourselves, so you deal directly with the CGK Realties team throughout your tenancy.

II

Responsive service

Our team stays closely involved in the day-to-day management and maintenance of our properties.

III

Clear inclusions

Inclusions vary by building, so each property page clearly outlines what is included with the rent.

IV

A straightforward leasing process

We use the standard Québec lease and make sure you have the information you need before signing.
