Mission

As the voice of the Quebec real estate industry, UDI Quebec’s mission is:

• to promote the economic development of the real estate sector;
• to defend the interests of its members;
• to ensure efficient and effective policies;
• to establish and maintain good communications with the members, with the various government jurisdictions and with the community.

When an issue is identified, the UDI adopts a dynamic approach and quickly gathers the resources necessary to resolve it. The UDI’s close ties with real estate stakeholders and with the regulatory authorities allow it to intervene effectively.


Eight streams of services are provided for members:

1. Government relations 
   UDI Quebec positions itself as an intermediary between the various levels of government and the commercial real estate industry in the province. As the voice of the industry, UDI Quebec prioritizes the issues having an impact deemed to be important on the common interests of its membership. Strategic committees, made up of experts and representatives from the industry, are set up for each issue addressed.

3. Strategy
   UDI QUEBEC positions itself to obtain the most recent information available concerning trends and political issues to ensure it has the big picture on the political and economic environment of the real estate industry.

Certain special research requests are also filled.
