Apartment hunters for a man aspiring to live in a quiet neighborhood

Bastille: 11th arrondissement of Paris

Found!Discover a search quickly conducted by Lisa Mimran, our apartment hunter specialized in Paris 11th. Argo is a young man tired of his neighborhood: he wants a quieter street and is considering his first real estate purchase in a district more appropriate to his current lifestyle.

What was the reason behind the Argo project?

A native of the beautiful island of Borneo, Argo came to do his higher education in the French capital. From then on, he never left her! Today, he has already been walking joyfully on the streets of his lively neighborhood for ten years. But, more relaxed in his life than when he moved in, he wanted to buy his first apartment in a quieter area, more in line with his current needs.

What are the advantages of an apartment hunter?

Even if Argo is a very dynamic young man, he does not have the time or the reactivity necessary to find a property in the very tense real estate market for small areas. However, the objective of an apartment hunter is to meet these two requirements!

What was HOME SELECT's shocking argument on this issue?

Very connected, Argo quickly went looking for an expert on the Internet, to support him calmly in this process. One hour after completing the Home Select form, our real estate hunter Lisa Mimran contacted him! A reactivity that did not fail to convince Argo to organize an appointment with her!

Did Argo know exactly what he was looking for?

A few days later, Lisa Mimran pushes open the doors of Argo's apartment: a large two-room apartment — very bright — that he occupies as a tenant. Invited to be inspired by the place, Lisa goes through her client's home, to detect a bit of her personality and her tastes. All these elements facilitating future research that they define together: a 2-room apartment, with great benefits, an unobstructed view and as little work as possible. The important thing was that it was located in the pretty shopping streets of the 11th arrondissement and that it exudes calm.

How did Lisa start this research?

As usual, the very dynamic Lisa leaves the appointment and immediately goes to work. After consulting the sites and the HS application, she established an initial selection of properties likely to appeal to Argo...

Was Argo seduced by several apartments?

Our apartment hunter submits a few property sheets to Argo, who sorts it—telling Lisa, each time, what reasons aroused her interest, as well as those that prompted her refusal. Following this filtering, she organizes 3 visits that do not elicit any offers.

What lever did our real estate hunter use to find?

Our expert calls on his network — including his Home Select colleagues — to make a new selection, or even obtain off-market properties... One of Frédéric Girard's contacts, another HS real estate hunter, tells him that he may have an apartment for Argo. Immediately, Frédéric contacts Lisa, who confirms the potential of the property and organizes a visit with her client...

What services did the property found offer?

Located in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, the 2-room apartment has just been completely renovated by its former owner. With a surface area of more than 40m², it offers very good benefits, with a very bright living room, beautiful materials in the bathroom, custom-made furniture, an equipped and furnished American kitchen, a large bedroom and a cellar, as a bonus!

Did our first-time buyer position themselves quickly?

Immediately seduced by this apartment, Argo decided to make an offer at the price! First-time buyer, he asks Lisa to accompany him in his procedures: accustomed to this type of solicitation, our real estate hunter gives him the contact details of the HS broker (to optimize his financing) as well as those of a notary (to supervise his purchase).

Did Argo's 2 rooms require work?

Completely renovated, the apartment requires no work or refurbishment: Argo was able to submit his valids directly there!

With Argo, our role as a support person has made perfect sense!

As a first-time buyer, Argo needed support — both in research and in the administrative aspect: a profile that was just right for Lisa Mimran, who then deployed all her know-how to orchestrate this purchase calmly.

Unexpected speed (but much appreciated!)

Delighted, in his new environment, Argo thanks Lisa for her kindness, her availability, her contacts and especially welcomes the speed with which everything happened! Only one month passed, between the signing of the exclusive mandate and the signing of the compromise!
