The project: building a rental portfolio in the Paris suburbs
Benoit had already used the Home Select property hunter a few years earlier for the purchase of his main residence. Satisfied with the support, he called back without hesitation for a new project: a rental investment in Seine-Saint-Denis, where yields are more attractive than in central Paris.
His criteria were clear: a 3-bedroom apartment in a relatively recent building, with a well-maintained co-ownership and parking. No off-plan. He wanted to start letting quickly.
The search: one day, three viewings, an obvious choice
Karine set up her alerts and activated her network of agents across the 93 department. Within a few days, she identified three properties and scheduled the viewings for a single day.
The choice was naturally clear at the end of the viewings. One apartment stood out markedly from the other two: the best co-ownership, the cleanest condition, the closest location to public transport. Located in a 2000s building in very good condition, it offered the requested 3 bedrooms and an underground parking space.
Benoit made an offer at the asking price immediately. Although the property had been on the market for a few weeks, it was the first offer at the asking price, and it was accepted without negotiation.
Targeted works to optimise the rental
The floors needed replacing. Benoit took the opportunity to open the kitchen onto the living room, a configuration that is more attractive to tenants. Karine provided her contacts book of contractors to carry out the works quickly and within budget.
What this mission illustrates
Client loyalty accelerates everything. Karine knew Benoit’s profile, his capacity for quick decisions and his budget. No discovery phase, no time wasted: the search was launched and concluded within days.
The 93 department offers concrete opportunities. For a rental investment, Seine-Saint-Denis remains one of the most attractive areas in Ile-de-France: accessible entry prices, high yields, and appreciation momentum driven by the Grand Paris Express.
One day is enough when the criteria are clear. Three scheduled viewings, an obvious choice, an immediate offer. It is the combination of precise criteria and a property hunter who knows the ground that produces this result.

Frequently asked questions
Why invest in Seine-Saint-Denis rather than central Paris?
Seine-Saint-Denis offers gross rental yields of 5 to 7%, compared with 2.5 to 4% in central Paris. Purchase prices, between 3,000 and 5,500 euros/m² depending on the municipality, allow you to acquire larger properties for the same budget. The most sought-after municipalities, Montreuil, Les Lilas and Pantin, benefit from metro extensions and urban projects that support medium-term capital appreciation.
Does a property hunter also operate in the Paris suburbs?
Yes. At Home Select, our property hunters cover Paris and Ile-de-France, including the Hauts-de-Seine, Val-de-Marne and Seine-Saint-Denis departments. For a rental investment, the search area is often wider than for a main residence, which allows comparing yields across several municipalities.
What is the advantage of using the same property hunter for a second search?
The property hunter already knows the buyer's profile, decision criteria and financial capacity. There is no discovery phase: the search starts immediately. At Home Select, around 15% of our mandates come from clients returning for a second or third project.
