Apartment hunter Paris 17th

Found!

Camille and David asked the HOME SELECT network to find them a property, intended to be a rental investment, before being a home for their daughters in a few years. The research was entrusted to Ségolène Sautarel: after some adjustments to the initial specifications, the acquisition was carried out quickly according to the wishes of the couple!

What is Camille and David's real estate project?

Owners of their main residence, Camille and David live one hour from Paris with their two daughters. Their real estate project is to buy a property that will be, at first, intended for rental, before welcoming their children for their higher education.

Why do they call in an apartment hunter?

Professionally very busy, Camille and David cannot take care of this research. Not to mention that they are not even on site, to have the reactivity necessary for the Parisian market. As a result, the couple decides to rely on the care of an apartment hunter.

Why do they choose HOME SELECT real estate hunter?

While surfing the Internet, Camille and David come across the HOME SELECT site, which they carefully browse. The seriousness of the approach and the testimonies left by former customers convince them to fill out the contact form. Upon receipt, Jean Mascla transmits the request to Ségolène Sautarel, one of his real estate hunters. Available to take charge of this research, she makes contact with the couple.

What are the criteria for the research mandate?

After discussing how HOME SELECT works and its fees, they sign the remote search mandate by electronic signature. On it are the wishes relating to the couple's search: an apartment of at least 25 m² imperatively in an old building, on the ground floor or on a low floor (because Camille suffers from vertigo).

But the emphasis must above all be placed on location, which must necessarily be part of the Janson de Sailly school sector, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. This request is motivated by the future university career of their daughters, when the Parisian apartment will serve as their housing.

To successfully carry out this real estate project, Camille and David have solid financing, verified and validated by a broker — which represents a real asset for negotiations and the positioning of offers.

How did the start of this research happen?

As with each of her searches, Ségolène sets up the HOME SELECT application with the couple's criteria and activates her network in the coveted sector. But the requirement for school sectorization leaves few real estate opportunities.

However, our apartment hunter manages to visit a property, very well located, meeting the wishes of Camille and David, but requiring a total renovation. Immediately interested, they give themselves time to think, before finally giving up: they simply do not have time to take care of the work to be done... However, they are in a hurry to make their project a reality!

Why are they revising their specifications?

Quickly, Camille and David understand that the sector offers only a few properties, which may also require work to be planned. After discussion with Ségolène, they therefore decided to expand the search area to 15^E and 17th districts, while remaining close to the 16th^e, and to lower the surface to 20 m².

These new parameters reveal apartments to visit: Ségolène makes a selection of properties, carries out her usual investigations to obtain additional information and, if necessary, carries out some documented visits for her clients.

Sometimes, Camille and David send him announcements and ask him to go see the properties, even if she had not retained them on her side: during a visit, this systematically confirmed Ségolène's positions, but the couple still needed to invalidate them themselves...

How did the apartment hunter get his hands on the right property?

By contacting an agency to obtain additional information on an ad, the real estate agent tells him about another property that could totally correspond to the wishes of Camille and David. Immediately, Ségolène booked the first time to visit the apartment... Anecdotally, the agency knew HOME SELECT very well because it had already worked with some members of the network, but it had not yet dealt with Ségolène Sautarel.

What is the description of the apartment found?

Located in the 17^E arrondissement of Paris, near the Villiers metro station, in a building from the 1930s, this is a 20 m² studio on the first floor, with high ceilings. Perfectly optimized, it does not require any work and belongs to a good condominium.

How did the couple react?

After her visit, Ségolène sends the photos and videos to her customers: under the spell, they immediately get the price (several visits were already planned in the same day!). The next day, their offer was accepted by the owners. A few days before the promise, Camille manages to free herself, to come and visit it and definitively validate this purchase. The rest of the sales process happens in a classic way.

How did the rental go?

Upon receiving the keys to the apartment, Camille and David bought some furniture, to meet the requirements of a short-term furnished rental. As he had no contacts in this field, Ségolène recommended two agencies to them: the first being the one that sold them the studio and the second, an agency specializing in leases of 1 to 12 months.

In the end, the couple chose the first, with a traditional lease to optimize the return on their investment. It is only when they consider taking it as a base for their daughters that they will then advise of shorter rental options...

“Responsive customers, open to discussion”

Ségolène greatly appreciated the responsiveness of her customers, which was necessary for this type of property. In addition, they were able to be open to discussion, managing to change their specifications in order to maintain their objectives. Once redefined, the research was conducted very smoothly.

“Fast, efficient, friendly, the winning trio”

Camille and David are absolutely delighted with their collaboration with Ségolène and will not fail to recommend it to those around them. Thanks to her, their real estate project quickly came to fruition!
