Dominique Chatel
Organized and disciplined, she doesn’t like things to drag on! She’s Ms Performance. And not just in business. She also works out every day: at the gym, jogging, spinning… But when she’s not working, she’ll dive into a good book or catch up on TV.
A real estate broker since 2002 and an ally of François Bissonnette since then, Dominique was part of REALTA’s initial team. Year after year, she ranks among the elite of her profession for the efficiency and quality of her service in all the territories served by REALTA. A native of Outremont and deeply involved in her community, her vast network of contacts puts her at the cutting edge of the market.

Michel Delorme
His definition of a broker? Someone who achieves fulfillment by enabling others to realize their dreams. Challenges stimulate him. Professional and otherwise. Doesn’t he hold an airplane pilot’s license? An innate need to always go the extra mile.
Michel became a real estate broker in 2017 and quickly opted for REALTA.
A seasoned professional, he first made his mark in the printing industry. In his early twenties, he took over the family business and demonstrated creativity and leadership in developing a new customer base. Wanting to take on a new challenge, he then chose real estate brokerage. He enjoys fulfilling himself by helping others realize their dreams.
An outstanding sportsman (he has excelled in a dozen sports) and socially committed (notably as a volunteer with a team of young skiers), he applies the values he has learned in competition to his new profession: teamwork, perseverance and the will to excel.

Rola Zakaria
Mediterranean by birth, Outremontaise at heart: Rola personifies this global belonging that characterizes modern society. Professionally too, but with Montreal as her home base. Think globally, act locally.
Rola joined REALTA in 2018 upon completion of her real estate broker training. Why REALTA? “I used to walk past the agency every day. I went in to say hello. I loved the welcome, the atmosphere, the people. I thought my customers would like it too.” Simple as that. She brings to the agency nearly 30 years of international business experience as vice-president of sourcing and production for her family’s import business. A seasoned negotiator, she managed logistics and ensured quality control with suppliers. When the company was sold in 2014, she took a course in interior design at a British university and went into business for herself. She misses the sales side of things, as well as the contact with people. From interior design to real estate brokerage, the step is quickly taken. It’s this wealth of experience and expertise that she now brings to REALTA customers.

Before becoming a broker, Isabelle worked in the advertising and film industries. From these demanding environments, she retains all the meaning of the expression, working hard to achieve results.
Isabelle sits on the board of directors of an association of citizens who care about the environmental, economic, cultural and social issues in their community.
