Real estate hunter responsible for finding a Haussmann rental for a couple

13th Arrondissement of Paris

Found!
Discover a search quickly conducted by Ségolène Sautarel, our apartment hunter specialized in Paris. Owners of their current property, Amandine and Antoine are looking for a rental to improve their daily lives and ensure the transition before implementing a life project that would take place abroad...

Why were Amandine and Antoine looking for a location?

Owners of a house in Fontainebleau, Antoine and Amandine want to get closer to Paris to facilitate their daily lives: in fact, as Antoine must travel to London every day for his work, he hopes to save precious time by moving closer to the station. Moreover, as their life project could lead them to live in the United Kingdom, in a few years, they decided to look for a rental in the meantime and to put their property up for sale.

Why did they need to call in an apartment hunter?

While Amandine is already in charge of showing potential buyers around their house in Fontainebleau, the young woman cannot be sufficiently available to organize the search for their rental. Not to mention that she must also take care of their 2-year-old daughter and take care of herself a bit, until their 2E kid.
However, the young woman organizes a few apartment visits on her side, but these do not lead to the signing of a lease: in fact, either, finally, the sector is not suitable, or the contact is established too late... Therefore, the use of an apartment hunter seems obvious for the small family!

How did they select HOME SELECT real estate hunter?

After a quick search on the Internet, Amandine and Antoine selected the HOME SELECT site and filled out the contact form. As soon as it was received, Jean Mascla entrusts the file to Ségolène Sautarel, who immediately picked up her phone...

What were the key points of the research mandate?

During this telephone appointment, Amandine and Ségolène take stock of the couple's search criteria: an apartment - preferably Haussmannian and bright - of at least 100 m², with 3 bedrooms, ideally 4. It must be served by an elevator and have a bathtub in its bathroom.
At the sector level, if young parents do not have school card criteria, they want to be close to a park. With the exception of 13E, 14E, 15E And 16E arrondissement, they are open to all proposals: they still have a big preference for the nice corners of eastern Paris.
Our apartment hunter takes advantage of this exchange to suggest neighborhoods that they did not particularly target. Neighborhoods located in the 19E And the 20E, benefiting from an interesting neighborhood life and likely to offer them a larger property, for the indicated budget (€3,600 including charges).
After signing the research mandate, Ségolène Sautarel got to work, sifting through the offers of conventional sites and using her relationships to obtain nuggets to suggest to the young couple.

How does Ségolène hit the mark from the first visit?

A short week later, Ségolène Sautarel spots a house on a rental site between individuals: it is located in the 20E arrondissement, in the Campagne district in Paris. Even if it is not in the couple's initial search area, it is one of the particularly attractive neighborhoods, mentioned on the phone by our hunter. For the record, the movie “Little Nicolas” was shot there... Very colorful, with its small paved passages, this neighborhood is not lacking in charm!
Built in the 1920s, the house, for its part, is 130 m² spread over 3 floors: the first accommodates the kitchen overlooking the 50 m² garden, a bedroom and a laundry area; the second a magnificent 40 m² living room, with a workshop area with a bohemian chic glass roof; the third floor is dedicated to the sleeping area, with 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.
At the end of the visit, Amandine is completely under the spell: while they were considering an apartment, they may dream of a house with a garden for a rent of €3,400! Not to mention that the current owners want to rent their property for only 3 years (they are seizing a professional opportunity abroad), before coming back - which is perfect for the couple!
While all the signals are green, the file is “frozen” by the owners: there would be a problem in negotiating the employment contract between the country of origin and the host country. Not sure if the house will be rented, Ségolène must resume the search in the meantime...

Why did the visits continue despite the crush?

Quickly, Ségolène spots a superb Haussmann-style apartment in the 9th district.E district in Blanche: with a surface area of 130 m², it has a high ceiling and meets all the requirements of the couple. With the agreement of Amandine, our real estate hunter files a file. Unfortunately, the property was withdrawn from the market a few days later: the owner decided to put it up for sale rather than rent. New disappointment for Amandine and Antoine.
Once again in search, Ségolène pre-visits an apartment in their favorite neighborhood where they lived for 10 years (12E): with its 140 m² square meters (120 m² on the ground), it is offered as a duplex, on the top floor of a building offering a magnificent view of the roofs of Paris. Again, the couple is enthusiastic. Lacking luck, the agency does not send their file to the management firm and the apartment quickly finds a buyer. New disillusionment for young parents.
Ségolène goes hunting again and finds them an apartment in the 11E arrondissement, near Square Trousseau: the property is full of charm and also meets all the wishes of Amandine and Antoine, who particularly appreciate its location and who therefore decide to file an application...

What property are they going to choose?

In the meantime, Ségolène receives news from the owners of the first house: everything is unlocked! Amandine and Antoine can come and sign the lease contract! At this precise moment, the couple therefore has a choice to make: on the one hand a house with a garden 15 minutes by metro from the heart of Paris, on the other, an apartment in the 11th district that they really like.
After an intense reflection, and after having visited the Countryside area in Paris for a long time, which they did not know, their choice fell on the house!

“Delighted to have introduced them to the Campagne in Paris”

If the countryside in Paris was not included in the initial geographical criteria, Ségolène is really happy to have managed to make them discover this district, which perfectly suited their profile and their desires. Beyond the expected search qualities, an apartment hunter can also offer things that his customers have not thought of: it is one of our added values too!

“We had the luxury of choosing between 2 favorites! ”

While alone, Amandine and Antoine were unable to make their approach a reality, Ségolène managed - in just a few visits - to offer them the luxury of choice! Better, to choose between two favorites!
