Apartment hunter: urgent research conducted in 2 weeks
Found! Discover an urgent search conducted by Romain LANDREAU, our Paris apartment hunter.
The real estate project
Maxime, a firefighter from Paris, was in a hurry to find his first apartment. Until then in a shared apartment, he only had 3 months left to find the apartment of his dreams.
Why an apartment hunter?
Before contacting HOME SELECT, Maxime had visited 2 apartments and realized that conducting a real estate search while being a firefighter was very complicated: not enough time, not enough availability, lack of experience. The project needed to be refined, especially the research sector (near Paris, 94, 92, near Montrouge,...). Maxime was not too familiar with the real estate hunting business, just Stéphane Plaza's television show. It was a bit by chance that he thought of delegating his research to real estate professionals.
Why HOME SELECT REAL ESTATE HUNTER?
After comparing our services with 2 other property hunters, Maxime was seduced by our proposal: our responsiveness, the seriousness of our site, our certified customer reviews, our reasonable fees allowed him to trust us to carry out this urgent real estate search successfully!
What are the specifications?
The budget was 200,000 euros for 35 m2, 1 bedroom absolutely closed, without work, quiet, clean, no ground floor.
What is the research sector?
Maxime was not sure about the sector: Paris 15, 94, 92 south,... First of all, we advised him on the sectors eligible for his search criteria: Montrouge quickly became obvious.
What is the action plan?
Quickly scan the entire accessible market in order to meet the deadlines for this urgent search. Our client was informed that, despite his fairly rigid schedule, he should be very reactive when we offer him quality properties: being able to visit the property offered during the day is a real success factor.
How did the research go?
To conduct this urgent research, Romain very quickly scanned the entire market of 1Er level: individuals, real estate agencies, notaries, property dealers, property dealers, its local network. After scanning more than 100 properties, 4 apartments were selected. One of them was sold the same day Romain visited: a strong reactivity was going to be essential!
How did you find the property? After how long?
After 2 weeks of research and intensive visits, the second property visited by Maxime was the right one! This property met all the search criteria and was immediately obvious for our client.
What is the description of the property found?
This apartment is located in a 1960s building typical of Montrouge, on 3E upstairs, very quiet, overlooking the courtyard. The decoration of the apartment needs to be refreshed but there is no major work to be done, Parquet floor, bright, open kitchen, fireplace.
How did the customer decide?
Romain, our real estate hunter, visits the property on Saturday morning, immediately sends his visit report, immediately calls his client to detail the property. Our real estate hunter organizes a customer visit the same Saturday at 2 p.m. After a few days of reflection, a counter-visit is made the following Friday in order to allow Maxime to be able to project himself into this apartment. Everything is carefully measured in order to think about the desired organization of the apartment. Following the advice of his real estate hunter, an offer to purchase is made at the price of 186,000 euros while the FAI sale price is 195,000. The owner makes a counteroffer at 190,000€ which is accepted by our customer!
Has any work been done?
The work to come is: repainting the paintings and installing a hanging bed.
The conclusion of your Paris apartment hunter
The difficulty of this research was its urgency. The precisely qualified search criteria and the decision to choose Montrouge as a sector made it possible to find quickly. After finding the apartment, Romain did not complete his mission at all: all the condominium documents were re-read and analyzed finely. Points of attention such as the roof and the common areas still required clarifications carried out by our real estate hunter. Our client, first time buyer, had not thought about its “administrative” parts and was very happy to see them carried out by a real estate search professional. This service was a real added value for him.Our real estate hunter was also very useful during the compromise, in particular for the negotiation carried out for the sum in receivership negotiated from 10% to 5% .Finally, we secured and optimized our client's financing: his loan was carried out via our financial broker partner: who managed to obtain a loan term of 30 years while the other banks contacted by our client offered a term of 25 years maximum.
The final word for our customer
The compromise was signed in December 2015. We are waiting for the signing of the authentic act in March 2016 in order to recover his certified customer review. Maxime already told us that he was very happy that Romain, his real estate hunter, managed to meet the deadlines because it was a real challenge. Finally, the very pleasant surprise was the way in which the administrative parts were carried out: analysis of numerous documents (copro, compromise,...) “Romain and HOME SELECT CHASSEUR IMMOBILIER saved him from staying too long without housing and from finding an apartment close to his workplace!”
