Notairo Launches Québec’s First Digital Platform for Real-Estate Closings
Montréal-based startup Notairo has officially launched the first platform in Québec that lets consumers prepare their real-estate transactions entirely online, with only the final signature completed in person before a licensed notary.
The service was designed to modernize a process long seen as stressful, opaque, and paper-heavy. With Notairo, buyers, sellers, and lenders can now complete the notarial preparation in three simple steps:
-
Get a free instant quote and confirm notary availability in their region.
-
Complete the file securely online, providing all required information for the legal documents.
-
Sign in person — the only step that must still occur face to face in Québec.
Simplifying a $150 Million Québec Market — and Beyond
Every year, more than 160,000 property transactions in Québec require a notary. Together they represent an estimated $150 million market — in Québec alone. While the legal framework differs across provinces and states, millions of comparable transactions occur each year across Canada and the U.S., all facing similar challenges of fragmentation, unpredictable fees, and limited digital tools. This represents a multi-billion-dollar opportunity to simplify and streamline property closings at scale.
“Buying a home should feel exciting; refinancing a property should not feel overwhelming,” said Ryan Hillier, Founder and CEO of Notairo. “We built Notairo to bring clarity and speed to an essential process so people know exactly what to expect and how much it will cost.”
Modernizing How Real-Estate Closings Get Done
Across North America, more than 60 % of real-estate transactions now include at least one digital step, from e-signatures to online mortgage approvals. Québec, where in-person notarization remains mandatory, has lagged in this transition. Notairo bridges that gap by modernizing everything leading up to the signature while maintaining full legal compliance.
By combining technology with accredited notaries — and, where needed, complementary legal advice from specialized real-estate lawyers — Notairo delivers a faster, clearer, and more predictable experience for everyone in the residential real-estate world. The platform positions Québec’s notarial sector within the broader modernization reshaping property transactions across North America.
