Why do Mathias and Denise want to invest in Paris?

Mathias and Denise live in Dunkerque with their children: in love with Paris, the family goes down there regularly to enjoy its cultural life, its restaurants, its exhibitions, etc. Today, the couple wants to find a foothold there, to benefit from a place of their own, to benefit from a place of their own and to be able to go to the capital according to their desires.

Why did they look for an apartment hunter?

Fully aware of the specificities of the Parisian market, and not being on site, Mathias and Denise could hardly do without the services of a hunter: his reactivity on small-scale goods was essential.

How did they know HOME SELECT?

Mathias and Denise obtained Catherine Ziegler's contact details from friends, but as she was not available to do the research, she advised them to rely on the good care of Sophie Rivière, one of her colleagues in the HOME SELECT network, one of her colleagues in the HOME SELECT network, specializing in the coveted sector.

What are the criteria on the mandate signed by Mathias and Denise?

After an initial meeting with Mathias and Denise, during which Sophie explained to them how HOME SELECT works and clarified the calculation of her fees, the couple decided to sign the mandate and entrust her with the research.
The location criteria were to find a pied-a-terre, close to all amenities, located as close as possible to the center of Paris, while concentrating the search outside the hyper-central districts: the preferred sector was the nice neighborhoods of eastern Paris. Concretely, Sophie had to look at the Marais, Montorgueil as well as the 9th, 10th and 11th districts. The idea was for them to be able to stroll and enjoy walks in the open air, without having to spend a lot of time on the subway.
In terms of the property itself, Mathias and Denise wanted a 2-room apartment of at least 30 m², in the old one, both quiet and with a pleasant opposite.

What was the difficulty of this research?

Even though Mathias and Denise had a coherent budget for their research, Sophie offered them few properties to visit, as the offer was very limited.

How did the search for Mathias and Denise go?

But 15 days after the signing of the mandate, Sophie identified 3 very interesting apartment ads in the space of 24 hours, using the HOME SELECT application. All of them are located in appropriate sectors. Given the low availability of this type of property on the Parisian market, she decided to see them without them!
You should know that it is extremely difficult to carry out pre-visits to Paris for small or large-scale properties. In fact, as soon as an apartment with certain services arrives on the market, it is sold during the day: in other words, agencies do not want to waste their time making pre-visits.
However, Sophie manages to land 2! Despite the potential, the beautiful luminosity and the charm of the first apartment, Mathias and Denise are not convinced. On the other hand, the second seems much more interesting to them, despite the fact that it is only on the courtyard and that it has a significant opposite, limiting the amount of light. Unfortunately, the apartment was already sold when the couple wrote an offer at the price.

How did Sophie find the couple's future home base?

While Sophie was in contact with a negotiator for the third apartment identified, the professional tells him that she is about to “bring in” a property likely to please Mathias and Denise, and promises to call her back when the time comes. After numerous reminders, the negotiator sent a few photos to Sophie, who decided to do a pre-visit without much conviction. The reservation of our apartment hunter is due to the fact that it is a large studio, while the couple requires a 2 room...

What is the description of the studio located?

Sophie carries out the visit with the consultant and the owner. The apartment is perfectly located: in the Oberkampft district, a 5-minute walk from the Marais, near shops, restaurants, bars. In addition, it belongs to a building whose facade has just been renovated.
The property is on the 1st floor, overlooking a quiet, almost pedestrian area. Its particularity is to have a rectangular shape, with no less than 6 large windows, for a total area of 35 m². Its corner living room highlights its double orientation, while giving an impression of openness and luminosity that is extremely rare.
Entirely redone by an architect, its layout is quite judicious, it is well equipped, with a retractable bed under a platform, and has good services everywhere.

How did they position themselves?

At the end of this pre-visit, Sophie sends the photos and videos to Denise and Mathias: absolutely won over by this unusual apartment, the couple decided to make an offer at the price, without even seeing it. The proposal for this off-market property is immediately accepted.
Two days later, Denise and Mathias visit their future property and confirm the crush they had from a distance.

“Found 15 days after the warrant! ”

Despite the lack of urgency in the search and the few properties available on the market, Sophie found Mathias and Denise's home in 15 days. This collaboration proved to be extremely pleasant, marked by the couple's responsiveness, their availability and their ability to listen, not to mention their ability to position themselves without needing to visit a lot first.

“Perseverance and professionalism”

Mathias and Denise are absolutely thrilled with Sophie's performance! Thanks to her perseverance (telephone calls) and her professionalism (privileged contact), she knew how to make a difference to offer them exactly what they were looking for!
