Apartment hunter Paris 15th
Discover in detail a search conducted by your apartment hunter Monica PARIS.
THE REAL ESTATE PROJECT
My client Pierre, a forty-year-old, dynamic executive, wants to acquire a three-room apartment to live with his young daughter. He is considering using an apartment hunter.
WHY AN APARTMENT HUNTER?
His research is urgent. He must manage his work, a position of responsibility, his family life. The ads received by the alerts sent to the agencies do not really correspond to its criteria and the desired geographical location. You have to analyze the ads, sort them out, call the agencies to get more information and organize an appointment, etc... His schedule does not allow him to devote the time necessary to carry out all these procedures, even if he has the possibility of freeing up time slots for visits. Delegating this search to an apartment hunter is the ideal solution for him. He needs this help and support, so he has more freedom to focus on his professional and family obligations.
WHY HOME SELECT APARTMENT HUNTER?
The HOME SELECT apartment hunter team was recommended to him, not only for its responsiveness but also for its fees, which are currently the most attractive on the apartment hunter market.
WHAT ARE THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE APARTMENT HUNTER?
The real estate search was very precise: Pierre wanted a three-room apartment with two beautiful bedrooms, well soundproofed because it is very sensitive to noise, preferably without work. However, he agrees to carry out paint refreshments.The apartment must have a correct area (60/70 M2), two beautiful bedrooms, be bright and quiet. A price budget has been set for this acquisition excluding research costs and notary fees.
WHAT IS THE RESEARCH SECTOR?
The locations of surveys were determined according to the metro lines allowing her young daughter to easily get to the college: Paris 15th, 16th, Boulogne-Billancourt, near metro lines 10 or 9.
WHAT IS YOUR APARTMENT HUNTER'S PLAN OF ACTION?
The action plan was defined with Pierrewho wanted to send me all the properties offered to him by the agencies in order to analyze them, obtain all the necessary information and possibly visit them.For my part, I explained to him that I was proceeding as follows: — Monitoring ads on many websites where I am on alert and receiving new offers three times a day — Checking the websites of real estate agencies because not all properties are on the web— Call from our privileged contacts (agency, individuals) who offer us goods before they are put online on the webThese monitorings are carried out while waiting for my Alerts to all agencies in the defined sectors to be fruitful.The three rooms are highly sought-after properties and our research focuses on a very limited sector.However, we are at the beginning of March and there are much more sales offers before summer.
HOW DID THE RESEARCH GO?
As we agreed, I make a selection of properties that I send to R. after having carefully analyzed with agencies or individuals that all the criteria are met, description, geographical location... I found these properties through my contacts and those of our team of apartment hunters on the net and also those sent by my client.Then Pierre tells me which ones to visit. He wants to visit the properties offered with me, he can free himself, he is in a very hurry for this purchase and he wants to go quickly. We are in regular contact, a selection of properties is offered to him regularly and we make visits quickly, with or without him, properties that he selected.Apartment hunter wanted in Boulogne-BillancourtFirst of all, he wanted to focus his research on Boulogne-Billancourt where he had already visited two apartments before opting for our services. Boulogne-Billancourt is a city west of Paris, on the border of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, on the border of the 16th arrondissement of Paris near Auteuil and Passy. The Bois de Boulogne is nearby but it is part of the City of Paris.The search will be carried out near, either line 10, around Jean Jaurès station, or line 9, to Marcel Sembat.The price per square meter varies between neighborhoods between 8000 and 11000 €/m2 depending on the neighborhood between 8000 and 11000 €/m2 and is in line with its budget.There are properties that correspond to these criteria, from the first week, after being validated on the selection, we organized the visit of 3 apartments at lunchtime, in the predefined sectors: - First appointment, 11:30am: A 3-room apartment, on the 7th floor, with Balcony and unobstructed view of Paris. This apartment is located very close to the 16th, the Parc des Princes, Roland-Garros. The crowds and traffic restrictions on the days of sporting events don't bother him, he doesn't have a car and enjoys sports. Unfortunately the morning of the visit, the agency calls me at 9 am to cancel the appointment, She tells me that the property was the subject of an offer accepted the day before. - Second appointment 12:30: An apartment 8 minutes walk from the Jean Jaurès station, in the Marmottan district, in the Marmottan district, on the 1st floor, on the 1st floor, overlooking the garden of the residence, with a beautiful living room of 33 m² and equipped American kitchen, two bedrooms of 12 m², a shower/laundry room and a toilet; In short, everything corresponds, and in addition there is no work it has been completely renovated, it is perfect... and, second deception! The apartment was sold at the price just prior to our visit. The visits are stopped, we did not see it. Really we are not lucky, but let's stay hopeful, we still have our 3th Appointment.- Third appointment 13:30: An apartment on Avenue Victor Hugo, very close to Marcel Sembat station, a lively district with its shops and the “Les Passages” shopping center. It is an apartment in an art deco-inspired building, completely restructured like a loft with an American kitchen, very modern and very well decorated, with a large balcony and a quiet bedroom overlooking the garden. The possibility of creating a second bedroom as indicated in the announcement and by the agency, is difficult to imagine, the apartment would lose its charm. It is true that it is a beautiful apartment with a very modern and very personalized decoration that dazzles us as soon as we enter and triggers “wow” sounds. However, when you focus on elements such as windows and paintings, you realize that there is work to be done. It is very difficult to project yourself into this style of apartment with a very modern and very personal decoration. We are at the beginning of the search, it is very rare to find from the first visits, except for a real crush. I am also continuing my research in the 16th near line 9; I am going to see the agencies I was in contact with during a previous case. Research is becoming more difficult. The properties require far too much work to obtain a property corresponding to its criteria.I am therefore continuing my research in Boulogne and in the 15th.
Apartment hunter is looking for in the 15th
LocationThis search must be done along Metro line 10. I am going to scan the neighborhood around Avenue Emile Zola which follows the route of line 10, within a maximum of 10 minutes on foot from a metro station. The average price is around 9,000 €/M2, we meet the criteria. I'm walking the streets of 15th, I time the distances, I visit the agencies, I appreciate the kindness of a young real estate agent who comes straight from the Catalan country, yes, maybe I am a bit chauvinistic! Despite my approaches to the agencies, I note that in this sector there are not many three-rooms for sale, some are sold very quickly, others have been on the market for a year, unsold and too expensive considering their condition.One visit among many others:I select, I visit, a real estate agent presents me with a property, the photos are beautiful. This property is again on the market following a withdrawal by the purchaser, the sellers are in a hurry, they are committed on their side for their new main residence, the sale is urgent. The real estate agent had to follow a forced sale training. He wants me to make an offer for my client for this apartment that I cannot visit (the sellers are not available) and that my client has not also seen. Finally I manage to get an appointment the next day at lunchtime with Pierre.Disappointment during the visit: The apartment is well distributed, crossing, at 7th 1st floor with a beautiful balcony, no opposite, the living room has been completely repainted. The furniture in the American kitchen was repainted up to date, a bit too quickly but that looks good on the photos, plaques have been placed on the bathroom walls (what are they hiding?) , the walls and ceilings of the rooms need to be redone. The apartment is well located, well distributed, but there is a lot of work and the asking price is a bit too high, there is no negotiation possible. Do not forget, my client does not want major work, the real estate agent is in a hurry, he gives him an hour of reflection to make a judgment.Of course my client is not a buyer, I told the real estate agent, he is harassing me by text message to let me know his dissatisfaction. I reassure you, this is the first time I have met this kind of character, it is very surprising, an exception very luckily, I have always had very pleasant people during my research and my visits with the agencies.I continued my visits to this neighborhood, in particular a beautiful apartment from the 90s, in particular a beautiful apartment from the 90s, with some minor works, with some minor works, facing south, small balcony with a very clear view but... on a cemetery, a positive point, calm is assured.
Analysis of our visits - New Orientation of Research and Real Estate Project
For some time now, I had focused my research mainly on the 15th, around line 10, because after our various discussions, I understood that my client was very attached to his neighborhood. I had abandoned Boulogne's research and in the 16thth.But we have to face the facts, there are no 3 pieces that fit into my client's budget. He must review his project. After discussion and analysis of his situation, I suggest that he focus his research around line 6. He agrees. He tells me that the budget originally planned is now being revised downwards. Now this budget must ensure the payment of the price, notary fees and research fees. So I focus my research on line 6, I refer the new criteria to my privileged contacts, I scan the net, and now luck smiles quickly.
Property acquired in the 15th arrondissement in Cambronne.
Property selection I selected a property as soon as it was put online by an individual on line 6, near Cambronne station. The apartment seems very good on the photo, I remain suspicious. I'm calling, asking for information. A couple of young people in their thirties bought this apartment, it was completely restructured and refurbished 2 years ago. They are forced to sell it as a result of their professional transfer in the South. You have to go quickly, your apartment hunter organizes a visit according to the availability of the sellers and my client, on a Saturday afternoon.Visit the property The surprise is beautiful, the apartment is located at 1ER 1st floor, on a busy street, but wall insulation work and the installation of recent double-glazed windows completely stop car noises. It consists of a large living room with 3 windows and an American kitchen, a large bedroom, an Italian shower room, and a second bedroom overlooking the courtyard with a small balcony. It really is a renovated apartment from floor to ceiling. It is very well designed and easy to project. Everything I need for my client.Course of the visit: The visit is going very well, a small light comes on in the eyes of Pierre and his daughter, present at this visit. This property meets all the criteria, close to line 6, which finally suits him much better than his 1Er choice (line 10), completely renovated, (he did not want any work), He listens to the noise and is surprised by the calm of the apartment although located on the first floor of a very busy street, he appreciates the small balcony overlooking the quiet courtyard. He liked the property. I also think that we found the property corresponding to his search.Offer to purchasePierre stayed at the end of the weekend to think, and on Monday morning he contacted me, he wanted to make an offer at a lower price than that proposed in order to fit within his budget.The seller told me that the price was negotiable and that he already had offers. His decision would be taken after analysis of all the offers. I contact the seller by phone, I let him know Pierre's decision,I argue by putting forward his budget, his financing; ¾ of the selling price is paid in cash, the excess by means of a small loan for which he has already obtained a favorable opinion from his bank.The seller must think, he has other offers, but no offer at the price.The seller couple makes their decision, after analysis and reflection, they accept Pierre's offer even if they have in hand a higher offer of 5000€. I immediately shared it with my client, he was delighted, and so was his daughter. This offer was accepted without any fear by the seller; the fact that the buyer was assisted by a professional apartment hunter weighed in their choice, he had the guarantee that the buyer was in the process of buying, that the financing had been verified and that he would not have a last-minute retract.Analysis of the documents.Analysis of the documents.The first part of the mission completed, I will stay by my client's side and bring him the support and follow-up, from the signing of the promise of sale to the final completion of the sale. This is the end-to-end service delivered by HOME SELECT apartment hunters. I analyze the diagnoses, the last 3 minutes of the condominium; I verify that the sellers have obtained the necessary authorizations from the condominium and urban planning, for the work to close the large terrace (currently second bedroom); I advise them to carry out the declaration of work to obtain the certificate of conformity, to establish a power of attorney for the signature of the promise of sale (they are going on vacation), and I am contacting their notaries in Paris. In accordance with the notary agreements, the signing of the promise of sale took place at the purchaser's notary. It took place within 10 days of the offer, The meeting of all the necessary documents in accordance with the ALUR law could be done quickly, thanks also to the seller who had done the necessary as soon as the sale was put on sale.
HOW DID YOU FIND THE PROPERTY? AFTER HOW LONG?
This apartment was found after ONE MONTH, thanks to the new orientation of the project. The search was very urgent, my field research was very active, I selected a lot of properties, made visits with or without my client. But, the goods were very rare in the 15th around line 10 and the purchase project needed to be reviewed and refined. The property was found from an individual on the PAP site, I called the first day of its publication and the visit was fixed by the seller according to its availability. The visit took place on Saturday, the purchase offer was made on Monday.
What is the description of the property found?
The apartment is on the first floor of a small building, located in a very commercial and lively area, near Pierre's previous residence. He is in the 15th At the limit of 7th, not very far from the Unesco garden. The apartment was completely renovated 2 years ago, from floor to ceiling, the walls were insulated from the inside. It is crossing, very bright, with an area of 63 M2, and includes: a fully equipped American kitchen overlooking a beautiful living room and a bedroom overlooking the street, a bedroom overlooking the courtyard with a small balcony, recent parquet floors. An apartment where you can easily imagine yourself, without any work, is what my client was looking for. The purchaser knows that in a few years he will have to plan to repair the stairwell in the years to come.

THE FINAL WORD FOR OUR CUSTOMER
Pierre needed the services and support of a HOME SELECT apartment hunter to buy his main home.

The announcements received by the alerts made to the agencies that did not really correspond to his criteria and the desired geographical location, definitively convinced him of the usefulness of delegating this search. He needed this help and support. He was able to appreciate my availability, my understanding of his project, the support and help during the transaction with the sellers (individuals), from the offer until the final completion of the sale.
