Apartment hunter Paris 9th
Found!
On recommendation, Brice contacts Catherine Ziegler to search for a property to rent. Through this mission, our real estate hunter will discover the power of Instagram: indeed, it is thanks to this network that she will find the perfect apartment for her client! Thanks Instagram!!!
What is Brice's real estate project?
For the past few years, Brice has been living in Portugal, with his wife and child. While he was wondering about the possibility of investing in real estate, one of his colleagues told him about his recent acquisition in Paris: an apartment located in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.E district, which quickly found a tenant...
Why did he contact HOME SELECT real estate hunter?
Convinced by this approach, this colleague gives Brice the contact details of his real estate hunter: it is Catherine Ziegler, a member of the HOME SELECT network. Thus recommended, the young man contacted our professional with confidence. She explains to him how the network works and, quickly, he signs an exclusive mandate.
What is Brice looking for for his rental?
On the phone, Brice and Catherine listed the criteria for the real estate search. It must be located in the 9E Or in the 18E district (like Brice's colleague). These are two sectors that the young man knows and enjoys. Moreover, it is certain that there will always be rental requests in these areas.
At the level of the property itself, he wants a real 2 room apartment, to attract a less volatile target: in fact, by offering more than a studio, he hopes to attract more “stable” tenants. In addition, his rental investment project is also based on a furnished rental.
How did our apartment hunter find it?
Upon receipt of the mandate, Catherine sets up the HOME SELECT application, sends an email to her contacts in the 9E And the 18E by telling them about Brice's real estate project. While the search had just begun, she discovered on her Instagram, at 11:30 p.m., an announcement that perfectly suited the request...
She immediately contacts the real estate agent for more information. At 11:40 p.m., he answered: it was a property that was put back on sale, after the previous purchaser had not obtained financing. Convinced of her potential for Brice, she sets up an appointment for the next morning.
Naturally, because of this late hour, Catherine could not keep her client informed of this discovery. The next day, while she is visiting the property, she leaves a message to Brice, in an attempt to show him the apartment live, by video. Unfortunately, the young man is in a meeting and cannot be immediately available...
What does the 2 piece found by Catherine look like?
Located at the top of the 9E arrondissement, in the heart of a very sought after neighborhood, the apartment is in a building on the front, which is not very interesting, rather trivial and without charm. But once you pass the porch, you come across a tree-lined courtyard, with tall trees and a bench. The apartment is at the end of this pretty courtyard: on the 4th floor with elevator, it is a 2 room apartment of about 30 m², very well done, where none of the seats are lost. Very bright, it offers an unobstructed view, facing south-west.
How did our apartment hunter show it to Brice?
During the visit, Catherine took a large number of photos and videos. She meets the real estate agent, revealed on Instagram: he is used to working with real estate hunters and, icing on the cake, he has already heard of Catherine... She describes Brice's profile to him: when she tells him that he is going to take out a loan, he is cautious, but she reassures him immediately, but she reassures him immediately, by showing him the certificate of financing by a broker, which she had had done beforehand.
When leaving, after the visit, our real estate hunter sends all the information to Brice, who calls him immediately after his meeting: enthusiastic, he confirms to him that this is exactly what he is looking for!
How did the negotiation go?
As the owner left Paris, she offered to sell her apartment with her furniture: on the one hand, she was saving on moving; on the other hand, it was a perfect fit for Brice's rental investment project, since he wanted to rent it out furnished...
Even though the young man was interested in this proposal, he thought it was sold a bit too expensive: under Catherine's advice and as they were the first to visit, they decided to write an offer with a small negotiation. Given her first failed sale, the owner quickly counter-signed the proposal.
Brice is delighted: his rental investment project starts with an optimization of notary fees! In fact, these only apply to the property itself, the portion relating to furniture, is not included in the calculation of transfer costs.
Since the young man did not know a notary, Catherine put him in touch with one of her contacts. Then everything was done remotely.
How did the rental of the property happen?
Brice had a real estate agency in mind, to manage the rental of its property: 100% digital, it offers videos of the apartments and the future tenant positions himself on those who interest him. As it does not make physical visits, its costs are reduced, optimizing the efficiency of the operation for the owner.
So the young man signs a contract with her for one month, but after 15 days, he still has no tenants. Even if the period is not the most favorable (February), he begins to worry about it with Catherine.
At the end of the contract that binds him with the 100% digital agency, he comes back to our apartment hunter, who then puts him in touch with the real estate agent who was in charge of the sale: well established in the 9th arrondissement, he found a tenant in 2 days!
“First time finding a property on Instagram”
The search proved to be very fluid, extremely effective: Instagram is a channel whose relevance she did not yet fully appreciate! Since then, she consults him daily and she feeds her network, to enrich it with qualified contacts (like this real estate agent from 9E that she did not know before this transaction!).
“Valuable support right up to the rental process”
Brice is extremely happy with Catherine Ziegler's services. He even points out that the only “hiccup” in his real estate project was when he deviated from the advice of our real estate hunter — by wanting to try this 100% digital rental agency. In the end, he lost 3 weeks, but again, it's thanks to Catherine, who knew how to limit the damage, by putting him in contact with the right person...
