Bourget real estate
Bourget is a growing village in the south part of Clarence-Rockland, close to Larose Forest. I help buyers and sellers here with clear numbers and a written plan.
Living in Bourget
Bourget is a village in the City of Clarence-Rockland, in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, near Cobbs Lake Creek. It takes its name from Ignace Bourget, a former bishop of Montreal, and it has a proud francophone heritage with a welcoming mix of English-speaking families too.
Nature is a big part of life here. Larose Forest, a large planted forest that grew out of reforestation work on land once known as the Bourget Desert, is close by with trails for walking, biking and skiing. The Prescott and Russell Recreational Trail, built on a former rail line, also passes through the village. In spring, the flooded fields east of Bourget draw large flocks of migrating snow geese.
The village has been growing, with new housing in the north part of town and local businesses in the centre. It offers a small-town feel while keeping Rockland, Embrun and Casselman within a reasonable drive.
Buying a home in Bourget
Bourget buyers often compare newer homes in recent developments with older village homes and rural properties nearby. Price per square foot can be attractive compared with Orléans, which is one reason families moving out of the city look here. Some properties are on municipal water and sewer and some use a well and septic, so we confirm services early and plan inspections to match.
I help you weigh the trade-offs: lot size, age and condition of the home, drive time, and resale. Before you offer, you will see recent comparable sales so you know what the home is worth.
Selling your home in Bourget
A good Bourget sale starts with the right price for your type of home. Newer homes, older village homes and rural lots each attract different buyers. My written market analysis compares your home with the right sales and with the listings you will be up against today.
From there, I handle professional photos, MLS® exposure, showings and offers. You get feedback after showings and steady updates until it is sold.
Getting around
Two main roads pass through Bourget. Russell Road (County Road 2) is used by many commuters heading toward Ottawa, and Champlain Street (County Road 8) connects Rockland to the north with Casselman to the south, meeting Highway 417 south of the village. Drive times vary with traffic and season, so test the route at your real commute hours.
Who I help in Bourget
I help first-time buyers who want more home for their budget, families moving up, and owners selling to move closer to town or family, from my office in Rockland.
Questions about Bourget
Is Bourget a good fit for first-time buyers?
It can be. Many first-time buyers look at Bourget for more space for their budget than they would find closer to Ottawa. The trade-off is a longer drive for some commutes, so we look at both before you decide.
What is there to do outdoors near Bourget?
Larose Forest is nearby, with trails for walking, biking and skiing, and the Prescott and Russell Recreational Trail passes through the village. In spring, watch for the snow geese on the flooded fields east of town.
Can you help me buy a new build in Bourget?
Yes. I can review the builder agreement with you, help you understand the timeline and deposits, and explain which HST rebates may apply. Your lawyer and accountant confirm the details before you sign.
Do you serve both Bourget and Rockland?
Yes. Both are in the City of Clarence-Rockland, and my office is in Rockland, so I can meet you in Bourget easily.

Real reviews from my Google Business Profile, quoted word for word.
I’m convinced this is the best real estate agent in Ottawa!! Paul is not only gonna find you a home but he will become your friend as well. He’s so honest, determined, positive and willing to go above and beyond for his customers. He’s also always available and always picks up his phone. After finding his flyer on our door one day, we gave him a call then hired him to sell our house and find us a new one. The process was so flawless and stress free we couldn’t have asked for better. I’m 100% hiring him again next time i wanna move. I can’t recommend him enough!!

As first time home buyers we are so fortunate to have been paired with Paul, his sound guidance, responsiveness and expertise helped us land the home of our dreams in a difficult market. We would have sat and waited too long to put in an offer had we not followed his advice. We had a lot of unknowns and each time one popped up Paul found answers SUPER quickly- even our insurance agent was impressed by his responsiveness. He did an amazing job helping us source reliable experts for the many inspections we had and was very impressive doing so on a short time frame. We are so grateful for all of Paul’s hard work, dedication, and negotiation skills. You can tell he's a people's person who loves what he does and is energized by the joy of helping people. Would recommend and would trust Paul again :) (He additionally got us some house warming gifts- included baby chickens! )
