Goal achieved
Excellent and very effective collaboration with Gwénaëlle Benon (Home Select) in the search for a specific property in Paris. Gwénaëlle was the perfect partner, very professional, available, available, attentive, knowing her market and constantly adapting to the vagaries of such research. A successful experience and a very pleasant relationship. We found our property and the first few days in the apartment confirmed our enthusiasm for this property. Thanks again Gwénaëlle.

Thank you both for this very nice review which means a lot to me. It was a pleasure to accompany you, especially since I was recommended to you, and to have honored your expectations by finding the "favorite" property you were looking for. I hope you enjoy Paris in your beautiful apartment and its sumptuous setting.
Mission accomplished
It is difficult to express how essential Catherine and Ladan were to our desire to buy an apartment in Paris. Buying any property can be difficult, but it is especially so if you do not live in France (we live in Texas). Catherine and Ladan made the process easy -- after a thorough initial interview where they really took the time to understand our wants and needs, they were off. Within just a few short months, they had "facetimed" tours of multiple apartments that fit our budget and goals. More critically, they didn't just present apartments, but rather, they toured and walked through the neighborhood and gave us their opinions and advice on not just the structure and the apartment, but the area and what "life" would be like in those apartments. In addition to locating the apartment, the entire sale process was made easy by them. And then post-sale, Ladan was absolutely AMAZING!! She helped us find a contractor and oversaw the renovations we were seeking. Her interior design skills also were unbelievable -- she stuck to our budget and helped beautifully furnish our apartment in the classical Parisian style we were seeking. We truly could not have fulfilled our dream without them -- and now we have a lovely 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom apartment in the 16th that we (and our family and friends) love and use frequently.

This year, I collaborated with Sophie Rivière to find the apartment I needed, and it was done!
It took 2-3 months to find the rare pearl in a very popular area. I thank Sophie for all the support from start to finish, whether in the work of research, understanding, investigation or even on her advice and recommendations for planning in order to facilitate projections. The neighborhood was also studied. Therefore, I recommend it for future home searches.

Jean-Philippe, I really appreciated our fluid and effective collaboration, your conscientious and benevolent spirit at the same time, your unfailing reactivity showing your desire to finally find the dream apartment. I wish you a happy time there!
Bilingual expertise
Buying an apartment in Paris can be a complicated process, especially if you're not from France and don't speak the language. We were fortunate to work with Home Select, who specialize in helping international buyers through every step. She wasn't just a real estate agent, she was a hands-on guide who made everything easier. She helped us understand different neighborhoods and what kind of property and price made sense for our needs. She arranged viewings, gave clear feedback on each option and explained local practices we wouldn't have known otherwise. Once we found the place, she helped us select and work with a notary, handled paperwork, clarified what costs to expect and coordinated all the formal steps. After the purchase, her help didn't stop. She assisted in getting utilities (like electricity and internet) set up, helped us find a security system, and handled many practical things you only notice after the sale. She even took care of local calls and follow-ups we couldn't easily do ourselves. If you're planning to buy a property in Paris and want someone who really knows how to help buyers, I can't recommend her highly enough. It would have been very difficult without her.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Your project was close to our hearts and we are thrilled with the outcome.
Found in 8 months
We called on Catherine after more than 8 months of unsuccessful research alone, and it was the best decision we could have made. In just one week, she found the ideal apartment for us, and our offer was accepted despite several competing applications.
Catherine was remarkably professional, always available, attentive, responsive and reassuring throughout the buying process.
She accompanied us every step of the way, from the visit to the signing, with great seriousness and real knowledge of the market.
We warmly recommend it to anyone who wants to be well surrounded in their real estate search!

Dear Serena, A huge thank you for your positive and touching feedback! It was a real pleasure to accompany you in this great adventure, especially after these months of demanding research. I am delighted to have been able to help you find the ideal apartment in such a short time and to see your project come true despite the competition.
Your trust, your benevolence and your responsiveness also contributed greatly to the success of this acquisition. Thank you again for your message about my support, they go straight to my heart.
Good luck with the work! and I wish you all the best in your new home. I remain at your disposal for any future help. Good for you,
Significant time saved
When we called on the HOME SELECT firm, this one, given the location of our research (17th and 18th), entrusted us to the hands of the apartment hunter Home Select. After an initial meeting to explain our project Home Select fully understood the type of property we were looking for. Home Select was extremely efficient in her research and saved a considerable amount of time! Pre-selecting the apartment, we give (or not) the go for the visit, visit us at our place and send almost live video of the apartment with all the essential comments.
It's a real service! The prices may seem high but given the time saved and the goods found, it is very, very quickly "profitable".
Thanks again for everything!

Impeccable service
After more than a year of fruitless research, I called on Gwénaëlle to assist me in my search for the ideal apartment. In just a few weeks, she not only found a property that perfectly met my criteria, but she also guided me through each step of the process with a constant and contagious good mood. Her professionalism, responsiveness, insight and positive attitude far exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for tailor-made support, effective results and a pleasant experience, I highly recommend Gwénaëlle's services at Home Select. Thanks for everything!

I called on Sophie to find an apartment in the heart of Paris: she immediately understood my expectations in terms of location, services, budget... She was very committed throughout the research, always showing herself to be available, attentive, giving good advice, defending my case to the interlocutors.
Thank you Sophie for having found the cocoon I was looking for despite a fairly tight market: I will use your services again for a future search!

Maëva, collaborating in your apartment search was a pleasure: you are responsive, reliable, cheerful!
I look forward to supporting you again in a few years;)
Until then, I hope you have a great time in your new “cocoon”.
The right choice
We would like to thank Anne who, in a very short time, helped us find the apartment we were looking for. Despite the distance, living abroad, Anne was able to visit properties for us and organize very targeted visits during our visits to Paris. His listening to our project, his advice, his expertise as well as his motivation gave us full satisfaction. Do not hesitate to contact her to find your future property

It was a pleasure to meet you and thank you for trusting me. I hope that your daughter will enjoy the apartment and that you will enjoy its central location when you come to Paris.

Thank you so much to Sophie Rivière who, after having understood my expectations so well, found the apartment that suited me perfectly in record time (6 weeks)
In addition to her great professionalism, Sophie is a charming person, very attentive and always available and with excellent advice.
Not living in Paris, Sophie visited several properties for me, each time sending me a very detailed video. I only made one trip and that was to visit the property I bought!
If I have to acquire another property in Paris, it is obvious that I will call on Sophie.

Thank you very much Virginie: our collaboration developed through mutual listening, thanks to your kindness that accompanied me. I am happy to see that my work is being fulfilled in your satisfaction with this successful research, in the best sense of the word. Thanks again!
Expert guidance
We thank you Anne for your precious help and your empathy, which from the very beginning allowed us to move forward smoothly in the complex world of looking for an apartment. We especially appreciated your sympathy, support, positivity, and virtual visits. Thanks to you, we have found the rare pearl.

Thank you, Olivier, for this lovely review. Finding you a Parisian base was a real pleasure. I hope that we will have the opportunity to see each other when you come to Paris...
Commercial space found
Efficient, professional, trustworthy, responsive and available. Neither complacent nor commercial, really listens to the needs and desires of its customers, which is very different from some competitors seeking above all to simplify their lives by broadening the objectives (price, area, price /M2) of their customers. A real partner.

I am sincerely delighted to have been able to contribute to your search for an apartment, Philippe: it was very pleasant and constructive to support you throughout it. I wish you happy days in your new apartment, and to enjoy the life of the surrounding neighborhood.
Total satisfaction
Ms. Sophie Rivière took care of my search for an apartment in Paris, while I was not there. With her knowledge of Paris and its market, she took charge and very well ensured the research, the description of the properties, the preliminary visits, and organized the schedule of visits on my part when we went there. She then ensured the perfect follow-up and gave me valuable advice, from the offer to the final signature. Her recommendations as a notary and construction contractor helped me a lot, and she was very available at all times.
I can only warmly recommend Ms. Sophie Rivière for a property search in Paris (it has already been done), her kindness, her availability and her flexibility have made her an ideal partner, and all the more valuable when you are not there.

Quality service
Between the project of acquiring a property and its actual realization, there is a path to take which is also not the easiest. Thanks to Home Select and the services of our hunter Marie ESMIEU FOURNEL, we were able to benefit from quality professional support with all that this implies (availability and regular interface, expertise and seasoned knowledge of conducting real estate research)... with an appreciable bonus, our hunter was one of those rare and precious people who pay attention to details, to those subtle little things that characterize each of us, so that we realized our project with complete peace of mind and with success. We were in good hands. Thanks Marie bravo Home Select.
Home Select Response
Thank you so much for your very kind message! and I have been thrilled to work with you and your lovely family. I hope you will be happy in this apartment.
Proven expertise
Very very good performance. Our hunter, Anne Lecourt, was very attentive to our needs and was able to refine our ideas. The fact of being able to propose redevelopments or sectors that we would not have thought of is more serious. All the support to comfort us in the purchase is also present (documents required at the time of purchase, writing letters, proposal from a broker or moving company).
A very reassuring comprehensive service, and therefore recommended in a very active life
Home Select Response
Mr., Mrs. PASI, thank you for this very positive feedback; it was a real pleasure to support you in this first real estate purchase project. I am delighted to read that my skills as an interior designer were a plus for you during the visits. I wish you a lot of happiness in the future.
Highly recommended
We warmly recommend Home Select and the entire Home Select team. We used their services when looking for a rental in 2018, mission more than accomplished by finding us a nice house in Paris, although a bit outside our initial criteria but Home Select had very well identified our expectations. We did not hesitate to turn to her again in 2020, when we wanted to become owners, which was once again achieved thanks to her. We particularly appreciated her availability, her responsiveness and her interpersonal skills, she accompanied us until the signing (and even then), which was not easy with the lockdown. Finally, she kindly supported our hesitations and contradictions. We are now well established but are sure to recommend Home Select to those around us.

Hello Coralie,

Seamless remote purchase
Home Select is a great choice. Home Select accompanied us in our search for an apartment. Very proactive and efficient, she found us accommodation in just a few weeks, having quickly understood the criteria of our search.
In addition to her remarkable efficiency and professionalism during the search, she accompanied us throughout the purchasing process. Living abroad and in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, the purchase was long and complicated, but we were able to count on Home Select's unwavering support as well as her keen knowledge of purchasing law and procedures.
We have already recommended Home Select to several contacts. Their service and the quality of their speakers is simply irreproachable.

Successful negotiation
As first-time buyers feeling a bit lost, we were reassured at every step by Anne Lecourt. She helped us define a realistic budget, understand notary fees, and target neighbourhoods suited to our family project. Result: a bright 4-bedroom apartment in the 12th, negotiated €25,000 below the asking price. We recommend without hesitation.

Marine and Julien, supporting first-time buyers through their first purchase is always deeply satisfying. Your enthusiasm was contagious! Anne
Attentive and understanding
I was looking for a pied-à-terre in Saint-Germain-des-Prés for my retirement visits to Paris. Catherine Ziegler understood exactly what I wanted: charm, character, and a neighbourhood full of life. She found a gorgeous apartment on rue de Seine that I absolutely fell in love with. The whole process, from search to signing at the notaire, was handled impeccably.

Emily, finding that apartment with its original parquet floors and view over the rooftops was a joy. I hope you'll enjoy many wonderful Parisian seasons there! Catherine
Access to exclusive listings
The Parisian market is a jungle when you don't know anything about it. Apartments sell in 24 hours, agencies don't call back, prices are opaque. Home Select completely changes the game. Marie Esmieu-Fournel gave me access to properties before they went online and guided me on every technical aspect (energy rating, co-ownership, expected works). An investment that is well worth the cost.
Home Select Response
Mehdi, your curiosity and pertinent questions made this search very enriching. Energy ratings and co-ownership status are indeed essential points that we systematically analyse. Marie
Attentive and understanding
Having purchased three properties in London, I thought I understood real estate. Paris is a completely different world: the notaire system, copropriété charges, DPE ratings, pre-emption rights. Arnaud Meunier not only found us a superb apartment on Île Saint-Louis, he educated us on every nuance of French property law. Worth every euro of the commission.

Richard and Jane, Île Saint-Louis is one of the most magical addresses in Paris. Your appreciation for Parisian architecture made the search a delight. Arnaud
Successful negotiation
As a young professional, I was afraid of being taken advantage of on my first purchase. Maxime Buannic guided me with great pedagogy at every step: budget estimation, viewings, offer, preliminary contract, mortgage. He explained the pitfalls to avoid and negotiated the price with solid arguments. I felt safe throughout the entire process.

I am Italian, my wife is French. We were living in Milan and wanted to buy in Paris for our return to France.

Back from a 7-year expat stint in Singapore, we had completely lost our bearings on the Parisian market. Prices had changed, neighbourhoods had evolved, regulations too (energy ratings, rent controls...). Véronique Savoyen gave us a real crash course while actively searching. Result: a family 4-bedroom in the 15th, found in 5 weeks. Our return to France was much smoother thanks to her.

Accessibility needs met
My son uses a wheelchair and we were looking for an accessible apartment: ground floor or raised ground floor with ramp, wide doors, adaptable bathroom, proximity to accessible transport. Very specific criteria that most agents don't understand. Anne Lecourt took the time to visit with an architect's eye, checking every accessibility detail. She found a ground-floor garden flat in the 13th, perfectly suited. A professional who truly listens.
Home Select Response
Marie-France, your son deserves a home where he feels free to move. Accessibility criteria require particular attention during viewings. I'm glad this garden flat meets all your needs. Anne
