Jean-Sébastien Boiteau
Founder of OptionCourtier
OptionCourtier was founded by a professional with over 25 years of experience in real estate brokerage.
A former agency owner, trainer, and recognized mentor, Jean-Sébastien Boiteau has overseen thousands of transactions and, over the years, noticed a lack of clear tools to help clients make an informed choice.
That field expertise led him to a clear conclusion: there was a need for a neutral, structured, and rigorous reference point to help clients choose the right broker.
From that observation OptionCourtier was born — a system designed to protect clients and help them make better decisions, without pressure and without fees.
Our history
Born out of a need in real estate brokerage
OptionCourtier was born from a simple observation: too many people still choose their broker at random, out of habit, or based on an unsuitable recommendation.
This project was never intended to create a real estate agency. It was born of a different ambition: to set up an intelligent filter capable of directing each client to two truly high-performing brokers, selected according to objective and measurable criteria.
OptionCourtier acts as a neutral intermediary, based on data, experience, and human interaction, to help clients make an informed choice, without pressure and at no cost.

We answer your questions

Absolutely nothing. The OptionCourtier service is 100% free for sellers and buyers. We are compensated through a referral agreement with the broker, only if a transaction is completed.
No. OptionCourtier is not a real estate agency and does not accept any mandates. We do not act as brokers in your transactions. We are a neutral advisory service that helps you choose from brokers already selected for their performance.
You are completely free. If the connection isn't there, we'll take the time to review the situation with you and, when relevant, explore other options. What matters to us is that you move forward with clarity and confidence.
We first evaluate the human aspect and quality of service, as well as the consistency between your profile and that of the broker. The goal is to create a good fit, both relationally and strategically.
Specifically, we take into account:
- the broker's human approach (listening, clarity, professionalism),
- compatibility with your needs, your personality, and how you operate,
- client satisfaction,
- rigor and quality of follow-up,
- first-contact response time,
- specialization (sector, property type),
- concrete results (transactions closed, conversion rate), and the ability to collaborate effectively within our system.
