Apartment hunter Paris 16th

Found!

Currently renting in a Parisian apartment, Jack and Luna want to invest in a property of around sixty square meters in the heart of Paris, intended to house their future family. To carry out this search, they contacted HOME SELECT and took advantage of all the expertise of Sophie Ithurbide: in a short time, she found them the apartment they wanted at a price very well negotiated by our real estate hunter...

What is Jack and Luna's real estate project?

Since returning from the United States, Jack and Luna have been living in a rented Parisian apartment. Eager to start a family, the couple decided to go in search of a main residence more suited to this beautiful project...

Why are they looking for an apartment hunter?

Using an apartment hunter is a practice that is very well established in American culture: Jack does not even plan to carry out this research without this professional.

How did they find HOME SELECT?

Jack went on the Internet and soon came across the HOME SELECT site. Seemingly serious, with convincing testimonies, he decided to fill out the contact form. Upon receipt, Jean Mascla entrusted the Jack and Luna case to Sophie Ithurbide, a real estate hunter in the network for many years.

What are the couple's search criteria?

Sophie contacts the couple by phone, explains how it works and collects their search criteria: Jack and Luna want an apartment of around sixty square meters, with 2 bedrooms and a terrace. Attention, it cannot be a long balcony, but an outdoor space on which it is possible to put a table. Imperately located on the top floor with an elevator, it must have an unobstructed view, without vis-à-vis and be located in the 16^E arrondissement or central Paris.

Our apartment hunter then asks them for their budget, because the real difficulty of the case is to find an apartment with a terrace in the coveted area. However, with an envelope that was too fair, that would have been impossible. Fortunately, the couple has a budget that is totally consistent with their wishes.

How does Sophie start looking for an apartment?

Even though Jack and Luna had good funding, they were nonetheless aware of the difficulty in finding. Tenants, they were not particularly in a hurry and wanted to take the time to meet their requirements.

After the signature of the exclusive mandate, Sophie therefore entered the various parameters into the HOME SELECT application: in addition to extracting the ads relevant to the case in question, it also makes it possible to send an email to all the agencies in the network to inform them of ongoing research...

The tool makes it possible to identify 2-3 forms of property that are likely to be suitable: Sophie submits them immediately to the couple. They decide to visit an accommodation in Châtelet, but it turns out to be both too expensive and too low in ceilings...

How did Sophie, our apartment hunter find it?

A few weeks later, our apartment hunter identifies a property, via the HOME SELECT application and contacts the real estate agency in charge of the file, to obtain additional information.

Located in the 16^E arrondissement of Paris, near the metro “Jasmin”, it is located on the top floor with an elevator, which arrives directly into the apartment. Without vis-à-vis, it has a 40 m² terrace facing south.

She organizes a visit for Jack and Luna who are immediately seduced by the property. Not to mention that it is sold with parking, a popular investment in the capital.

How did the acquisition process go?

Just after the couple's visit, the 2nd lockdown linked to Covid-19 was introduced, cancelling the other appointments in the apartment. Taking advantage of this situation, our real estate hunter Sophie encouraged Jack and Luna conducted a negotiation. Slightly overvalued (even if it was in the couple's envelope), the property also had high expenses that gave rise to a discussion.

At the end of the exchanges, the couple made significant savings, while enjoying a car park that could further reduce the cost of the purchase if they wanted to. For their part, the owners were delighted to sell, given the uncertain health context. Once the terms were concluded, the sales process was entirely done remotely (Covid-19 obliges!).

Did Jack and Luna do any work in the apartment?

If the apartment found by Sophie was perfectly livable as it is, Jack and Luna carried out some refreshing and decorating work.

“A great challenge taken up!”

At the end of this search, Sophie is satisfied to have found a nice apartment, perfect for Jack and Luna. From a purely professional point of view, our real estate hunter is also delighted to have taken up this challenge: a top floor with a terrace in central Paris is an extremely rare property!

“An experienced negotiator, a well-managed business”

Sophie was very responsive, even though Jack and Luna's real estate project was not simple. The icing on the cake, it maneuvered perfectly, to allow them to find the rare pearl at a lower cost!
