Looking for an apartment in Paris 20,11 and 12

Found!

Discover a research conducted by Ségolène Sautarel, our apartment hunter specialized in Paris. For the little anecdote, Amandine and Antoine had already asked our expert to quickly find them a rental, before the birth of their 2^E child, already on the way! Today, it is quite natural that the couple contacts her again to assist them in their first real estate purchase. Again, Ségolène manages to find them a “crush” just in time to welcome their 3^E child (also on the way!).

Why are Amandine and Antoine looking to buy?

3 years ago, when Ségolène Sautarel met Amandine and Antoine, the couple lived in Fontainebleau and sought to be closer to Paris - and in particular to the train station, used daily by Antoine for his work in London. Not knowing if life would lead them to a London life, they preferred to find a location.

Today, even if they are still delighted with the house, found by Ségolène, in the 20^E arrondissement, in the Campagne district in Paris, they want to change to become owners of their main residence. Indeed, their professional project has evolved and they now know that they will stay in France.

What are the search mandate criteria for this acquisition?

After a first successful collaboration, Amandine and Antoine had no questions: they immediately contacted Ségolène Sautarel to present their new real estate project to them.

They are looking for a family apartment in the old one, with 4 bedrooms (because they are expecting their 3rd child) and a beautiful living room. Of the Haussmannian type, it must be integrated into a good condominium and house an elevator. Note that in the space of three years, the presence of the bathtub, essential for their previous rental, has lost its interest today.

Amandine and Antoine love their neighborhood (20)^E arrondissement), but they also wanted to get closer to the heart of Paris: the search area therefore extends between 20^E, the 11^E And the 12^E. If the school map is not fundamental, they should be close to a good school.

How did the search for the hunter start?

Even if their budget is consistent, it is still a bit tight to meet all of their specifications. Not to mention that there are very few properties available on the Parisian market. Ségolène makes previsits, but nothing is conclusive. The rare one she shows them around is perfect on paper, but is noisy in reality.

Pressed by the upcoming birth, Amandine and Antoine ask our real estate hunter HOME SELECT to open their search to the Saint-Mandé and Vincennes sectors. Not to mention that by moving away, they can eventually enjoy a much bigger...

Thanks to this sectoral openness, Ségolène carried out more preliminary visits and selected an apartment in Saint-Mandé, which she imagined was perfect for the couple: with a real neighborhood life, he had, nearby, a good school, a park and a metro station. Without work, it allows the couple to put their suitcase down immediately. Totally under the spell, they position themselves on it by trying a small negotiation to get it into their budget: unfortunately, the offer was not accepted.

The search continues...

How did Ségolène Sautarel from HOME SELECT find out?

Ségolène Sautarel is constantly relaunching her network to boost the search for Amandine and Antoine: remaining in contact with the “coup de cœur” apartment agency that escaped them, the latter contacted her again to present her with another off-market property. If it is, at first glance, outside the couple's budget, it is possible to negotiate, because the sellers are in a hurry. Neither one nor two, our real estate hunter organizes a previsit to assess the relevance of the accommodation for its customers.

With a park nearby, the property, which is both bright and quiet, offers beautiful volumes: with a total area of 100 m², it has a double living room, a beautiful separate dining kitchen, 4 bedrooms and several shower rooms (bathroom, shower). Convinced to have found Amandine and Antoine's apartment, Ségolène organizes with the agency a new visit with the couple.

Did the couple have a crush?

At the end of the visit, Antoine is totally seduced by the apartment. Amandine, still under the spell of the other, is more reserved. Even if she still has some regrets, she quickly ends up seeing the advantages of housing. They therefore decided to write a negotiated offer, while highlighting their financing verified by HOME SELECT, with a good contribution.

The first proposal is refused, but the sellers agree to receive a second one where everyone makes a financial effort to reach an agreement.

Because of the first lockdown linked to Covid-19, the signing of the promise of sale is done electronically, remotely. But in this period full of uncertainty, the deadlines for validating the bank offer have been exceeded: luckily, all parties are aware of the exceptional context — which allows the signing of the authentic instrument in summer.

“It's rewarding to follow the evolution of former customers' projects”

In the space of three years, Amandine and Antoine's project has changed a lot — from a temporary rental, with a view to a possible London life, to a permanent installation in Paris. Ségolène was delighted to participate in this evolution, finding the properties that perfectly suited the moment. Not to mention the pleasure of following their family, growing...

“Absolutely satisfied! ”

After a slight refresh of the paintings, Amandine and Antoine move into their new apartment - happy owners of a property where they feel at ease. Since then, they have enjoyed the joys of a busy family life, with the arrival of their 3^E kid.
