Apartment hunter for a woman who needs to quickly find a place to live

Apartment for a pied-a-terre

Found!

Discover a search quickly conducted by Luz Ollivon, our apartment hunter specialized in Central and Western Paris. Forced to move out of her current apartment by her owners, Valérie must find accommodation quickly, ideally in an area close to her work — namely near Monceau Park. A challenge magnificently taken up by our real estate hunter!

 

Why did Valérie have to go looking for a new apartment?

Valérie is the tenant of a charming apartment on the 16thE district, near the Trocadéro. Unfortunately the owners asked for it to be picked up. So, forced to find a new main residence, why not take advantage of it to make your first real estate purchase?

 

Why is she asking for an apartment hunter?

Working in the world of finance, his professional activity takes up a lot of his time and requires him to travel regularly abroad, to the other side of the world. In this context, Valérie cannot carry out this project alone: she needs an apartment hunter!

 

How did she select HOME SELECT real estate hunter?

After a quick search on the Internet to find a real estate hunter in Paris, Valérie discovered the HOME SELECT site and decided to leave her contact details there, as well as the main lines of her purchase project. As soon as he received his request, Jean Mascla proposed the file to Luz Ollivon, a specialist in the sector sought after — namely around Monceau Park.

 

What was Valérie looking for for her first purchase?

After a few explanations about how HOME SELECT works and its fees, Luz notes the young woman's criteria! As she works near Parc Monceau, the research area extends around this green space — namely the 7E, the 8E And the 17E borough.

In terms of the property itself, Valérie wanted to have at least one bedroom (ideally two) for a minimum area of 50 m². The apartment should not be on the ground floor or require major work, but should be in the old one and very bright. All for a coherent budget, taking into account the targeted area and the criteria requested.

  

What were the main difficulties of this apartment search?

At the time of the research, there were not a lot of goods available on the market. However, the request was extremely urgent since Valérie only had a few days to find. Given these conditions, Luz offered to him to extend his search area to 18E district...

How did Luz find the right thing the first time?

Via the HOME SELECT application, our apartment hunter had spotted an announcement between individuals, for a very beautiful home that she wanted to show Valérie... After obtaining her agreement, she organized an appointment directly with the owner, two or three days later... In the meantime, Valérie went to discover the neighborhood, which she did not know and confirmed to include it in the search.

 

Did the property meet all of Valérie's criteria?

The apartment was located in a lively, pleasant and young neighborhood on the 18thE district, which allowed the young woman to walk to work! At 4E Upstairs, the property made an angle, which gave it a lot of character, and extended over 54 m². Furnished with great taste by an owner, an architect by profession, it had a bedroom overlooking a quiet street and another overlooking Caulaincourt Street, which was more lively, but above all more tree-lined.

 

Did the property seduce Valérie?

Valérie totally loved this apartment and wanted to write an offer at the price as soon as she left the visit. Unfortunately, in the meantime, the owner had already received a proposal through one of the agencies responsible for selling it.

To get through Valérie's disappointment, Luz immediately went back to looking for property. Unfortunately, there weren't a lot of opportunities available...

But 10 days later, our apartment hunter learns that the person has finally withdrawn the property in Caulaincourt: as a result, Valérie's proposal is accepted!

Once this first formality has been completed, the sales process continues smoothly, accelerated by the simple fact that Valérie works in the world of finance... As the young woman did not have notaries, she took the one of the salesmen, while benefiting from the invaluable assistance of Luz.

 

Did Valérie do any work before moving in?

The apartment was in perfect condition: Valérie only made minimal changes before settling down!

 

“Valérie was open to new ideas”

The research went ideally — given the time constraints. Valérie was open enough to welcome Luz's ideas (as a reminder, on 18E arrondissement was not initially included in the search mandate). “Perfectly coached by Luz! ”

 

“Perfectly coached by Luz! ”

Valérie is very happy with Luz's performance: thanks to her valuable advice, she discovered a new neighborhood, which she would never have explored without her for her apartment search. In addition, she greatly appreciated his support, especially with regard to the notary. Moreover, she is so thrilled with this collaboration that she has already recommended Luz to friends!
