A valid-licence disclosure, active Montréal inventory and specific current accounts of candid pricing advice and negotiation create the strongest direct-broker consumer record in the cohort.
Bests first finds a credible field—typically 10 to 15 plausible candidates—then narrows it through identity, location and category fit before the deeper comparison.
01
Discover the real field
The broad Calgary field is narrowed through current licensing, transaction-facing team structure, local specialization, owned-market activity and independent consumer context.
02
Read the comments, not just the score
Comments are read for named-agent service, repeatable communication and transaction detail. Repetitive solicitation language, employee-name concentration and team-versus-individual confusion are discounted.
03
Apply the category recipe
The final comparison tests the actual delivery team, listing and buyer infrastructure, current local activity, media quality and whether the ranked identity matches the people doing the work.
BESTS REVIEW SIGNAL
Repeated themes. Contradictions checked.
Review evidence is read in context across time, rating bands and platforms. Reddit and community discussion can reveal useful texture, but are treated as context—not votes. Potential spam, copied SEO content and identity confusion are discounted privately.
For Simon Bellemare, the published fit is supported by repeated evidence around:
French and English
Residential broker
Direct current recommendation
Bests does not republish selective testimonials or invent a combined rating. Licensed third-party review widgets can be added after a winner claims and verifies its profile.
BADGE & RECOGNITION
A recognition you can verify.
The Bests badge resolves to a live recognition page. Claiming a profile, using a badge or becoming a customer can never improve rank.
