Where exactly did Brice want to invest in Paris?

Working as a notary in Nantes, Brice seeks to make a high-end rental investment in Paris. By targeting only the nicest neighborhoods in the capital, he knows that, under these conditions, his future acquisition is unlikely (or unlikely) to be devalued, in the event of a real estate bubble.

Why does he call in an apartment hunter?

Not being physically on site, Brice immediately decided to entrust this research to an expert, firmly established in key sectors of Paris. In order to quickly make a high-end rental investment.

How did he discover HOME SELECT?

The young man therefore conducted a careful search on the Internet and set his sights on the HOME SELECT network, which he appreciated both for the seriousness of the site and for the reviews. Upon receiving his request for a connection, Jean Mascla contacted the apartment hunter Marie Esmieu, who specialized in the neighborhoods that Brice wanted.

What are the search criteria for this high-end rental investment?

Marie immediately calls Brice on the phone to introduce herself, explain how she works and clarify the question of fees. After the young man's agreement, she lists the various search criteria: the young man wishes to acquire a 2-room apartment of about 35m², upstairs, and above all, completely redone, without a paint job to be expected, and ideally furnished.The location of the apartment could be in the nice neighborhoods of the 5th, 6th and 7th districts. All for a budget of 600,000 euros.

How did Marie approach this research?

Although the search seemed simple at first glance, it hidden two major difficulties: the apartment had to be in excellent condition, which is not so easy to find, and it had to please Brice, despite the desire to make it a rental property. Marie therefore sets up the HOME SELECT application with the young man's criteria and contacts his network to present him with this new file.

How did the first visit go?

After sending a few property sheets, which Brice systematically refuses, our apartment hunter understands that the young man is looking exclusively for high-end apartments, both bright and quiet, with a beautiful common area. She therefore adds these elements to the initial criteria.One evening, the HOME SELECT application highlights a property that could be very suitable for Brice: completely redone by an architect and sold turnkey (with sheet, cushion, sofa and light bulbs), it has all the qualities sought by the young man. Marie immediately contacts him to get the green light and ask to visit him. In reality, it is a large apartment that is divided in 2 for sale. They therefore exchange to allow our real estate hunter to quickly make an offer at the price, if necessary, as this type of property was likely to leave during the day. As part of a pure rental investment, the smaller of the two was the more profitable (m²), but the larger one was much better arranged, perfect for living there.After the briefing, Marie calls the agency in charge of the file who explains to her that she already has a lot of visits scheduled for the next day: persuasive and determined, Marie manages to get an appointment at 11:30 for the two apartments.At 11:30am, she feels a slight disappointment in the face of it. to the smaller of the two: you couldn't even go around the bed—which gave the impression of sleeping in a rabbit cage. Fortunately, the second visit fulfilled its promises...

What assets motivated the visit to this apartment?

Located on the 2nd floor of a superb mansion in the 6th arrondissement, Odéon district, the building, dating from the 16th century, is classified as a historic monument. With a total area of 37.62m², it is sold furnished and has an entrance, with shower room and WC, a living area with fully equipped open kitchen, a spacious bedroom with glass roof over the living room and a large custom dressing room.

Did Brice know how to position himself quickly?

In accordance with the previous day's decision, Marie immediately makes an offer on the largest one, with no suspensive conditions (even though he did take a loan). The agency had just received a proposal of 5000€ lower, so it obviously accepted that of Brice. At the same time, she offered him management for 2300€ per month, which he accepted despite the advice of Marie who advocates competition. Not to mention that it had already been valued at 1900€ per month by another establishment. At the signing of the compromise, he discovered the property and definitively validated his choice. In the same vein, as Brice has no concrete commitment with the agency, he calls on another to manage his property, at a price of €2200 per month.

Did he have work to do?

As requested in the initial specifications, Brice had absolutely nothing to do with his property: completely renovated by a talented architect, it was furnished and fully equipped!

“A happy customer and a strengthened network: perfect! ”

The building in which Brice invested belongs to two owners who are constantly buying and selling apartments: having got on well with them, Marie now has two new and serious assets in her network!

“I have already praised Marie's services to my associates”

Extremely satisfied with Marie's service, Brice has already spoken to his associates in Nantes, who will not fail to ask our apartment hunter to carry out some real estate transactions. To date, one of them has even taken the plunge!
