  • Supporting UniUni in its rapid expansion across Canada

    UniUni is a rapidly expanding Canadian messaging service with over 25 distribution centers across 8 provinces. The company enlisted the services of Ashley Dere to secure its first location in Montreal, in Ville St Laurent, in 2020. During this assignment, Uni was impressed by Ashley's perseverance and negotiation skills as she navigated their request in a scenario involving multiple offers. Subsequently, Uni experienced rapid growth in Montreal and Toronto, prompting them to request Ashley's representation in both regions to quickly secure larger locations. Since then, Ashley has successfully completed over twenty real estate transactions across Canada and is now assisting the company in expanding across the United States. Serving as Uni's primary point of contact for all its real estate needs, Ashley coordinates requests with her local teammates from city to city, ensuring they align with Uni's business model and requirements. This streamlined communication and guidance approach maintains consistency across different locations, providing a single line of communication between the client and the broker.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Read What Our Clients are Saying About us.

Ashley’s mandate with LOVE Quebec was to help us find a new location for our office, where in addition to managing the organization’s operations, we also deliver workshops to marginalized youth. Providing a safe and welcoming space is a central aspect of our work, so finding the right fit for us was no simple task. Ashley was unquestionably up for the challenge and succeeded with flying colours. More importantly, however, was how she carried out her work. She was both diligent and patient. She listened intently to all our wishes and concerns and showed us a good number of options so as to ensure we were absolutely certain of our selection in the end. Ashley is a joy to work with, exuding passion and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Me Robert Harvey, Real Estate Lawyer

Joli-Coeur Lacasse, S.E.N.C.R.L.

For me, the process of negotiating a place of business was and still is a very unusual transaction. Ashley’s coaching allowed me to understand the important aspects of this type of negotiation. Although my job requires me to negotiate with clients, I would never have been able to come out a winner as I consider myself today. Moreover the accompaniment did not stop at the signing of the lease, but has continued ever since. She also accompanied me in the process of finding a designer and a contractor. Her work is greatly appreciated.

Bruno Simard T.P.

She was very attentive to my needs and worked tirelessly to find space that met my criteria.
