"A collaborative and never pushy approach: taking the time to understand in order to find better."

A Toulouse Business School graduate, Arnaud worked in luxury (LVMH, Richemont) and hospitality (Hôtel de Crillon, Accor Group). He then moved to high-end concierge services for French and international clients (Middle East, USA). Available throughout the acquisition process, he ensures all stakeholders are aligned and terms are well understood, which is particularly valuable for international clients.

"The quality of service I expected was not always delivered. I created Home Select to change that."

An engineer by training, then an executive in a large corporation, client relations have always been the structuring element of my professional experiences. I decided to develop my own business offering services with the level of excellence that matches my standards. Having been a client of real estate services many times (primary residence purchases, rental investments), I often realized that the quality of service I expected was not always delivered. I became a property hunter to combine client relations and real estate. I covered central Paris, the 7th arrondissement where I lived, and the northern 16th. I now focus on developing Home Select, a team of property hunters who share and apply these values of high-quality service in a real estate sector that has begun to transform.

Our method

From the brief to signing

Discovering your project

Method
  • No-obligation meeting to define the project together
  • Precise definition of the brief: essential criteria, comfort criteria, overall budget
  • Feasibility analysis based on the current market: prices, availability, estimated timeline
  • Proposal of a search strategy adapted to the situation
The project is fully understood before the search begins.
13

Financing secured

Method
  • Many projects fail because the financing plan was not secured upfront
  • The overall budget must cover: purchase price, notaire fees, fees, renovation, moving
  • Validated financing: the search only starts once this is established
  • Full transparency: the client shares the details of their financing
Solid financing means a secure real estate project.
14

Fees transparent

Method
  • No file fees: billing only on results, when a transaction is completed
  • 2.5% incl. VAT of the net seller purchase price, minimum 10,000 EUR incl. VAT, paid at signing
  • Includes: search, pre-visits, urban planning and technical checks, negotiation, full assistance through signing, connections to notaires, architects, financiers
  • Bottom line: buying through a pricing expert, negotiated agency commission, optimised trips, competitive loan rates
It's not an additional cost. It's a results-based investment.
15

Mandate of trust

Method
  • Electronic signature: 1-month term, renewable by default
  • Cancellable at any time with one week notice
  • "Exclusive" mandate: not a restriction, but what enables searching with all available means
  • Exclusivity gives weight with agencies: an argument that a simple mandate does not allow
A trust-based mandate, designed to give you access to the best without locking you in.
16

Active search

Method
  • Prospecting the entire market: private sellers, agencies, property dealers, notaires, developers, internet, press, field work
  • Strong outreach: 15,000 real estate agents informed by email, SMS, social media and a dedicated app
  • The search is continuously refined based on your feedback after each viewing
A dynamic, field-based search.
17

Premium network

  • 100+ off-market properties shared daily between our 16 hunters
  • Members of the FCI: Federation of Property Hunters
  • Listed on APIC: the app through which agents submit properties before public release

19

Rigorous selection

Method
  • Rigorous: every property evaluated against the precise brief before any presentation

  • Documented: systematic report with photos, videos, measurements, professional opinion
  • Objective: strengths and weaknesses noted with equal candor
You only receive properties that match. Or you know why.
20

  • Professional tools for objective and quantified market value analyses
  • Professional-to-professional relationship with agents: real margins are read and understood
  • Success-only compensation: interests are fully aligned with yours
  • Negotiation is always conducted in line with your wishes and in the interest of closing

21

Complete securing

  • Smooth exchanges between all parties: agent, seller, notaire, building manager

Testimonials

Conseil avisé

Arnaud helped us find and close a beautiful apartment in the 17th. His style was very collaborative and never pushy, and took the time to understand our needs to very quickly make the process efficient. During the closing period, he was always available to ensure all the different parties required were aligned, including ensuring terms were well translated in areas where my French was a bit too rusty. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a place in Paris to work with him. I have had experiences with others so have the ability to compare and Arnaud is just in another league.

Expertise confirmée

As an American relocating to Paris for work, navigating the French real estate market seemed overwhelming. Arnaud Meunier made the entire process seamless, from understanding the French legal system to negotiating directly with sellers. He found us a stunning apartment near Parc Monceau within our budget. His bilingual expertise was invaluable.

Thank you James. Helping expats settle in Paris is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Enjoy the park and the neighbourhood! Arnaud

Bien d'exception

Moving from Hong Kong to Paris with three children, I needed someone who understood the specific needs of a family relocation: schools, parks, space, storage. Arnaud Meunier found us a beautiful family apartment in the 16th near the Bois de Boulogne. He even coordinated with our relocation company to ensure a smooth transition. Exceptional service.

Home Select Response

Victoria, helping your family settle in Paris was a privilege. The 16th is perfect for your needs and I'm glad the children love their new school. Arnaud

Recherche sur mesure

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.

Home Select Response

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

Accompagnement à distance

Je suis italien, ma femme est française. Nous vivions à Milan et voulions acheter à Paris pour notre retour en France. La barrière administrative (documents italiens, traduction, banque française à distance) semblait insurmontable. Arnaud Meunier a coordonné l'ensemble avec une efficacité impressionnante : courtier, notaire, traducteur. Il a même réussi à négocier alors que nous n'étions pas sur place. Un accompagnement complet et rassurant.
