"We've always told everybody that our adventure would be epic. But most importantly, that it would never stop. Of course we get in trouble, and sometimes we get lost. But I guess it is the price you have to pay. To keep on exploring."

"Hey wait, we know these streets!"
That was us, cruising around and looking for the Onyx on the Bay tower. JP Shoiry, co-founder of the advertising agency Republik and I remember spending Art Basel together, literally two blocks up, in blo[...]

I'm very glad to introduce you to the team who worked on my latest listing in Vieux-Longueuil, an historic house on a corner lot that was restored with a lot of love! The three siblings who work under the company Projet AV take pride in [...]

It was about time we put the TRIP back in TOWER TRIP! Since I listed this charming Bed & Breakfast in the Eastern Townships, I decided to go out there and test the hospitality for myself. I brought along pretty face Vincent Malo and a couple of plaid shirts for a weekend that would become a bromance to remember. For more info about the B&B for sale, [...]

"You have to come look at this house! I think it would be an amazing feature for TOWER TRIP." That was the pitch of my friend and colleague Marie Champagne, trying to lure me into her newest trophy listing. And it usually doesn't take more than that to catch my curiosity! If you have an amazing property to feature here, let us know!

Let me tell you how excited I am to bring this epic property to the market. When my clients called me to tell me about this property they wanted to sell in Frelighsburg (Eastern Townships) just 100 km outside of Montreal, I thought they would have to sell ME first! I hence drove down there to mee[...]

My usual attempt at keeping a straight poker face while reporting was vain and I quickly started taking a million pictures.

This is not a story about money.
This is not a story about success and the grand illusion of it.
This whole adventure is about a feeling.
Something strange and intriguing that I can't really describe.

Brickell seemed even more slick and crispy clean from what I remembered of last year, when we first met with Jamie Maniscalco for a tour of the Miami Financial District. Cranes are everywhere, glass & steel towers keep rising up and a bustling restaurant scene are all fuelled by the international elite's influx of capital. Even though it was 30C outside,[...]
