Stress-free purchase
We entrusted our apartment search to Marie and, very quickly, she found plenty of properties that met our expectations! She gave us answers whenever we had questions about a property, always very promptly. There with us at the viewings, her advice helped us a great deal. We can only recommend her services; she is exactly who you need!

Access to exclusive listings
The Parisian market is a jungle when you don't know anything about it. Apartments sell in 24 hours, agencies don't call back, prices are opaque. Home Select completely changes the game. Marie Esmieu-Fournel gave me access to properties before they went online and guided me on every technical aspect (energy rating, co-ownership, expected works). An investment that is well worth the cost.
MAMehdi A.
Home Select Response
Mehdi, your curiosity and pertinent questions made this search very enriching. Energy ratings and co-ownership status are indeed essential points that we systematically analyse. Marie

Exclusive off-market access
After inheriting a run-down property in the 18th, I was torn between renovating and selling to buy elsewhere. Marie Esmieu-Fournel helped me analyse both options with numbers and steered me towards selling and rebuying, which was more tax-efficient. She then found a renovated 3-bedroom in the 10th off-market. Wealth advisory on top of a property search service.

Home Select Response
Charles, the renovation vs. resale analysis is an exercise I particularly enjoy. Glad the numbers spoke for themselves and that you're happy in your new neighbourhood! Marie

Accessibility needs met
My son uses a wheelchair and we were looking for an accessible apartment: ground floor or raised ground floor with ramp, wide doors, adaptable bathroom, proximity to accessible transport. Very specific criteria that most agents don't understand. Anne Lecourt took the time to visit with an architect's eye, checking every accessibility detail. She found a ground-floor garden flat in the 13th, perfectly suited. A professional who truly listens.
MFMarie-France D.
Home Select Response
Marie-France, your son deserves a home where he feels free to move. Accessibility criteria require particular attention during viewings. I'm glad this garden flat meets all your needs. Anne

Quality service
Between the plan to buy a property and its actual completion lies a path that is not always the easiest. Thanks to Home Select and the services of our hunter Marie Esmieu Fournel, we benefited from quality professional support with all that this entails (availability and a regular point of contact, expertise and seasoned knowledge of how to conduct a property search)... with a welcome bonus: our hunter was one of those rare and precious people who pay attention to detail, to those subtle little things that make each of us who we are, so that we completed our project with complete peace of mind, and successfully. We were in good hands. Thank you, Marie. Bravo, Home Select.
