Apartment hunters in Paris 15th for first-time buyers
Found!Discover a search conducted quickly by Lisa Mimran, our apartment hunter specializing in Paris 11th, but who was able to find Sylvain's coveted property in the 15th arrondissement... Anxious to stop throwing money down the drain, this first-time buyer was determined and voluntary in his real estate purchase process: two character traits particularly appreciated by Lisa.
Why does Sylvain want to buy today?
Having rented a 2-room apartment in the 15th arrondissement for several years, Sylvain works in the 7th arrondissement, near the “École Militaire” metro station. His real estate purchase project is motivated by the sole desire to stop throwing money down the drain (and, as a result, the desire to build up a wealth).
After 6 months, did he manage to visit apartments alone?
However, very motivated, Sylvain started by scouring the websites of classified real estate ads: after 6 months, he had not seen any apartment that might interest him! Each time it came too late. Not having the time and the reactivity necessary for this search, he decided to turn to a real estate hunter.
How does HOME SELECT determine who to send the file to?
Thanks to our well-referenced site, he fills out the form to get in touch. Quickly, Jean Mascla responded and sent the file to Lisa Mimran, specialized in the sector sought by Sylvain! The advantage of hiring a hunter, who is well established in a geographical area, is to benefit from his privileged contacts with the various real estate players in the district in question.
What does Sylvain want for his first real estate purchase?
Lisa Mimran immediately contacts Sylvain by phone, to explain to him how Home Select (HS) works and to discuss, with him, the criteria of this search: this first-time buyer does not want either a ground floor or a 1st floor, the 2 rooms including a bedroom, the 2 rooms including a bedroom, must be quiet and not cause work, for a maximum budget of 400,000€ FAI. The search area extends to the north of the 15th arrondissement, even if Sylvain would prefer to find it in the 11th arrondissement, around the Bastille district (near line 8).
What method does Lisa use to start her research?
Lisa uses the HS application to carry out the first extractions — whether in the 15th or the 11th arrondissement of Paris. At the same time, she contacted her network to describe Sylvain's profile and the criteria for his search. Quite naturally, she began her telephone canvassing with the actors of the 11th arrondissement, insofar as it is in this area that she intervenes the most and that she has numerous contacts.
Was the search for Sylvain successful?
While the first visit was completely inconclusive, the second gave Sylvain something to think about. However, the property in question did not meet all the initial criteria: located in the 12th arrondissement, in a very friendly neighborhood near Nation, it offered great potential — which motivated Lisa to show him, despite the concessions he would have to make. Indeed, with voted facade work, the apartment benefited from a large surface area and beautiful light, ensured by its crossing appearance, but it required some work and was located on the 1st floor of the building. Although Sylvain wrote an offer at the price, the same day, he retracted 3 days later because of the 1st floor: the “security” dimension was important for him! Lisa came back a few days later with a new property to visit: an apartment in the 11th arrondissement, on the 3rd floor with elevator, crossing over the courtyard and completely renovated by an architect. Sylvain completely fell in love with this 2 rooms: he placed himself on the property for €420,000, without doing so at the displayed price (429,000€). Unfortunately, the owner had already received 4 offers at the price, including 1 with €10,000 above. Lisa knew that the owner wanted to select the buyer based on his file, rather than on the price. And Sylvain had good arguments for him, but he should have at least positioned himself at the price... his proposal was too “risky”...
Why should you be guided by the keen eye of an apartment hunter?
With her alerts in place, which Lisa systematically consults, each time they “blink”, our apartment hunter discovers an ad that hides a little gem... Even if Sylvain is not very enthusiastic about the sector, she still decides to show him (presuming that he will know how to arouse her interest, once there...)
What services did this famous property offer?
The apartment is located near the “Porte de Versailles” station, in the 15th arrondissement: Sylvain would have preferred a much closer to the “Convention” station. But beyond this small annoyance, it is located in a building in good condition, with an elevator. With a surface area of 35m², the 2 rooms offers an entrance, a bathroom (with WC inside, as he wanted), a bedroom and a kitchen open to a bright living room, with an unobstructed view and without vis-à-vis. A property, ready to move in at 370,000€ FAI!
Who did Sylvain call to support his decision?
During the visit to the apartment, Lisa immediately realizes that she managed to reach Sylvain: after a few seconds of reflection, he writes a proposal at the price, directly on site! At that moment, the real estate agent taking part in the visit tells them that he has already received 3 offers... The next day, Sylvain revisits the apartment with his sister, an essential element in his final decision making. As she comes out absolutely delighted with the property, Lisa now knows that her client will go all the way to get it. She therefore decides to put a little pressure on the real estate agent, so that he pleads in favor of Sylvain with the owner. And a few days later, the deal is over!
Is Sylvain planning work in his 2 rooms?
No!
A determined and voluntary first-time buyer
Sylvain was a determined man, definitely ready to buy. Despite his quality as a first-time buyer, he was able to quickly position himself, sharpening his criteria and wishes over the course of his visits and knowing how to transmit them to Lisa.
A framework ++
Beyond the speed with which Lisa was able to find the property, so coveted by Sylvain, the latter welcomes her administrative support. Indeed, Home Select welcomes, within its network, a notary who can target documents: a reassuring skill, highly appreciated and which increases Lisa's credibility and added value for the client.
