Apartment hunter Paris 15th for a Swiss expatriate couple

Found!Discover a search carried out quickly by Romain Landreau, one of our HOME SELECT apartment hunters, for Gladys and Romain, expatriates living in Switzerland, looking for an apartment in the French capital, to rent it out.

What was the nature of the real estate project?

Both French, Gladys and Damien have been living and working in Switzerland for several years. Anxious to develop their assets, they decided to go in search of an attractive rental investment, a Parisian apartment that they could easily rent.

Why did they call in an apartment hunter?

Expatriates, they cannot do the research themselves: however, very tense, the Parisian market requires a certain reactivity for visits.

How did they choose HOME SELECT?

After consulting our website, Gladys and Damien contact the HOME SELECT network to entrust them with this search. Specializing in this type of profile, the file is attributed to our real estate hunter Romain Landreau.

What was written on the search warrant?

During the first exchange via WhatsApp, Romain explains to the couple how HOME SELECT works and details the interest and usefulness of an exclusive research mandate. Following their agreement on this point, they list the search criteria together: Gladys and Damien are looking for a 2 room apartment of at least 30m², in a geographical area covering the 15^E And the 16^E North district, as well as the 17^E South. For a maximum budget of €500,000, excluding notary fees.

What organization did Romain set up?

As usual, Romain started his work by programming alerts on the HOME SELECT application. As soon as he selected a property with potential, he submitted his form to the couple, to gather their opinion and determine, together, whether they should pay a visit or not.

How many visits did he make for Gladys and Damien?

For this file, Gladys and Damien asked Romain to carry out a pre-visit of 5 properties: each appointment was an opportunity for our apartment hunter to refine his search and to better identify expectations. Moreover, the expatriate couple made a good offer at the price on one of them, but it arrived too late!

How did he get the right ad?

One morning, Romain Landreau receives an alert from the HS application, concerning an interesting property: quickly, our real estate hunter discovers that it is an apartment put up for sale. Indeed, the people who had already positioned themselves did not get their funding...

What compelling arguments did the property present?

Located in the 15^E arrondissement of Paris, in one of the sectors coveted by the expatriate couple (rue de Lourmel), the apartment is at 3^E floor with lift. It has 3 rooms (including 2 bedrooms), for a total area of 47m², at a displayed price of 470,000 euros (agency fees included).

How did they negotiate the deal?

Very interested in this property, Gladys and Damien came especially to the French capital, to discover it with their own eyes. Although it required some work, they were immediately seduced by this apartment. The couple therefore wrote an offer at 455,000 FAI, taking into account the refreshment to be made and the context of the sale (the first setback of the owners having led to the return of their property on the market). Note that Romain had also pointed out to them that the apartment, at the price shown, was overvalued...

What type of work should they consider before renting?

As soon as they received the keys, the expatriate couple had some general refreshment work done: a window to be replaced, a kitchen to be modernized and re-equipped and a small paint job on all the walls.

“Coherent, well-conducted research”

As a true specialist in this type of profile, Romain Landreau immediately appreciated the responsiveness of Gladys and Damien, despite the geographical distance: a condition Sine qua non to conduct a real estate search on the Paris market. Built on the basis of consistent criteria, it could only go very well in this context!

“Good communication”

Fully satisfied with Romain's services, Gladys and Damien underlined the very good communication that was immediately established between the real estate hunter and them, despite the distance.
