Apartment hunter for a couple wishing to make a rental investment

Discover a search quickly conducted by Sophie Rivière, our apartment hunter specialized in Paris 9th. Rémi and Pauline want to find a 2-room apartment to rent it out, before sharing it with their children. In other words, beyond purely rental attractiveness, they are also looking for a property in a friendly neighborhood so that they can, in the long term, be well housed.

What is Rémi and Pauline's real estate project?

Owners of their main residence, Rémi and Pauline live in Rouen with their three children. Anxious to take advantage of current low rates to build up their assets, the couple decided to make a rental investment in Paris. The idea is that in the long run, he can offer one to each child...

Why are they asking for an apartment hunter?

As Rémi and Pauline live in Rouen, are the happy parents of three young children, and are actively very invested in their respective jobs, they do not have enough time to do this real estate search. Especially since they are fully aware that in Paris, you have to go quickly!

How did they find out about HOME SELECT real estate hunter?

After a quick Internet search, Rémi and Pauline discovered the HOME SELECT site and filled out a contact form. Upon receipt, Jean Mascla submits the file to Sophie Rivière, who is perfectly familiar with the sector coveted by the couple!

What exactly are Rémi and Pauline looking for?

Our apartment hunter immediately calls Rémi and Pauline to explain to them how HOME SELECT works. Following this excellent first contact, the couple signed the search mandate, after having detailed the criteria with Sophie.

Rémi's favorite sector was 6^E district, which he knew very well from having studied there. However, the couple was quite open, as long as the area in question remained in the center of Paris, in nice neighborhoods.

In terms of the property, they wanted a studio or 2 functional rooms of at least 25 m², with calm, light and charm. An apartment located in a good condominium, insofar as this rental investment should, one day, become a home for their children.

To successfully carry out this real estate project, Rémi and Pauline had a comfortable budget, naturally opening the search for more offers and possibilities.

How did our apartment hunter organize himself?

Once these criteria are defined, Sophie integrates them into the HOME SELECT application and sets her alerts. She looks at the properties currently available, both in the 6^E district than in the other districts selected.

Why did his first offer not succeed?

Responsive and conscientious, Rémi carefully follows the real estate ads and sends an announcement to Sophie: our apartment hunter had already noticed it, but had dismissed it, because she did not think it would suit her clients.

During Rémi's first visit to Paris, they organized a visit to this property: located in the 6^E district, he did not however convince this father of 3 children! At 1^Er On the first floor of a very busy street, the interior space had to be completely redesigned.

The research therefore naturally continued and was organized around Rémi's trips to Paris — both professional and personal: no exceptional property appeared that would have justified bringing him over for a day or having him write an offer via the Internet.

Sophie organizes a visit to an apartment, located in the heart of the pedestrian district of Montorgueil, in the 2^E arrondissement of Paris. It is a 2-room crossing, overlooking the courtyard and the street, full of charm, very well arranged, totally in need of renovation. Rémi does not procrastinate and immediately writes an offer at the price. Unfortunately, the person who had just visited before them had already positioned himself (and did not give up afterwards...)

How did Sophie help him get over this small disappointment?

The same day, Sophie spots a real estate ad full of promise and manages to get an appointment, before Rémi gets back on the train to Rouen! It is a property that has just been put up for sale — which is why she has not seen it before! At this moment, our apartment hunter is taking a small risk, since the property is located at the top of the 9^E district, i.e. a little beyond the search area defined by the couple. However, the area is very popular not far from Blanche-Pigalle, at the level of the Nouvelle-Athens.

What were the other advantages of the property found?

It is a 2 room apartment of 33 m², located on 8^E and top floor, with elevator, of an art deco building. Even if it is not in the old, it has a lot of charm! It is functional and well-arranged, without any loss of space, making it appear to be significantly larger than the area shown. In addition, it benefits from a balcony from which we have a view, partly panoramic, of Paris and its monuments. This rare property is extremely bright, with windows everywhere, ancient oak floors, high ceilings...

How did Rémi position himself on this apartment?

Following this visit organized on the wire, Rémi did not do one or two, he wrote an offer to purchase in the process! Since Sophie knew the price he had already gone for, he simply made a similar proposal to be sure it would pass to the owner. Thanks to their excellent record, with no suspensive conditions, the offer was quickly validated and the acquisition process continued rapidly.

Did Rémi and Pauline do any work before renting?

Even though the apartment was generally in good condition, Rémi and Pauline decided to redo the slightly outdated bathroom. To do this, they brought in an entrepreneur who was responsible for making it more functional and more modern.

“With Rémi, the exchange was easy! ”

Available, pleasant and responsive, Rémi immediately placed his relationship with Sophie under the sign of trust: an essential parameter for working in good conditions and fully investing in real estate research.

“We are already requesting it for our other projects”

Rémi and Pauline are delighted with this collaboration: they even decided to entrust her with the search for two new apartments. Indeed, in accordance with their initial project, they want to acquire three properties, intended immediately for rent, before being able to give them to their three children.
