Real estate hunter for first-time buyers in love with the Batignolles district

Found!Discover a search quickly conducted by Ségolène Sautarel, our apartment hunter specialized in Paris. First-time buyers, Mathilde and Florian needed to move forward with confidence in their real estate project: Ségolène knew how to guide them and find a small cocoon for them that they will model in their image!

In what context did Mathilde and Florian decide to become owners?

Currently renting their apartment, Mathilde and Florian both want to access the property and, through this purchase, to be closer to their workplace. To initiate their process, they went to consult their bank and ask for a financing estimate.

First-time buyers before the age of 30: how do you get sound advice?

At 26 and 27, the couple did not feel able to undertake this research without professional help. Beyond the mere fact of finding a property, Mathilde and Florian wanted support in reading the AG minutes and diagnoses, but also to benefit from support for banking or notary procedures.

Through what intermediary was the first contact made?

Through word-of-mouth, the young couple naturally went to Home Select, which was able to offer them a very competitive rate, to confirm their choice. Interested in their file and the coherence of their approach, our apartment hunter, Ségolène Sautarel, was enthusiastic about the research!

What were the main requirements of future owners?

Florian working in a restaurant in the Batignolles district, with staggered hours, he wanted to be able to get there quickly. The research sector was therefore concentrated around this area, while taking into account that Mathilde should also be able to easily reach La Défense by public transport (metro or bus). In terms of the apartment itself, they wanted a bright, cute, upstairs two-room apartment, with the charm of the old, in a well-maintained condominium, for a maximum budget of €300,000.

What was the purpose of the first visits?

Once the criteria were determined, Ségolène Sautarel consulted the HS application, in order to establish a list of properties that were potentially interesting for the couple. After a few exchanges with the couple and a few first visits together, our apartment hunter manages to better direct the research and refines his selection.

How did the real estate hunter plan to support this couple of first-time buyers?

The first visits follow one another and result in a first offer, which is unfortunately not retained, because it was below the price. Following this setback, Ségolène took a few minutes to reassure and re-motivate them: “We're going to find out, don't worry! ” Our apartment hunter goes back to work and pre-visits several properties, which she nevertheless decides not to present to the couple, insofar as they did not fully meet the various criteria of the specifications. Mathilde and Florian were first-time buyers, they needed to experience “a crush”!

What networks were used for the research?

Ségolène Sautarel then continued her investigations, expanding her research to other tools. She then spots an individual who does not want to go through an agency, but has an apartment whose services meet the criteria of Mathilde and Florian. For the record, the property in question had already been sold, but the buyers had not been able to finalize the loan: the owner therefore left in search of new buyers.

Was the hunter able to start a crush?

Located in the 18th arrondissement, on the long rue Ordener, the small 30 m² apartment was a small cocoon, ideal for a young couple: a 2-room apartment with an entrance, a living room associated with a small open kitchen, a bathroom with toilet and a bedroom. Not to mention a cellar in the building! All for the sum of 279,000€!

Under what conditions were we able to finalize the sale?

At this price, perfectly in line with market prices, Ségolène Sautarel explains to Mathilde and Florian that they must be responsive. The owner had already registered several offers during the first purchase, not to mention that he was already planning other rounds of visits. Our apartment hunter therefore took the time to talk to them again about this apartment, to discuss their feelings, without influencing them. Visibly convinced, they decided to make an offer at the price. The next day, it is accepted by the owner! The latter was reassured by the presence of a real estate hunter, who guaranteed the financing of the couple by brokers.

Was it important to start work quickly?

If the apartment did not require major work, a small refresh was recommended. Indeed, having experienced slight water damage — completely treated —, some traces of humidity still remained...

A contact appreciated by the property hunter...

Ségolène Sautarel invested herself as if she were looking for her own apartment, enthusiastic about the idea of satisfying a nice, available and pleasant couple. At the signing, Mathilde and Florian's smile was communicative!

... And total trust on the part of the purchasers

A beautiful relationship of trust was established between Mathilde, Florian and Ségolène, which allowed the couple to move forward calmly, in their first real estate purchase process.
