"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
  • 15 years of relationships with Parisian real estate professionals
  • Active partnerships: agencies, building managers, rental managers, building caretakers, notaires, property dealers
Agencies contact Home Select first.
18

19

Rigorous selection

Method
  • Rigorous: every property evaluated against the precise brief before any presentation
  • Transparent: if a property deviates from the criteria, an explanation is provided
  • 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

Negotiation optimised

Method
  • Deep knowledge of real Parisian market prices and access to notarial transaction databases
  • 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
6% negotiation achieved on average on the listed price.
21

Complete securing

Method
  • Complete review of all legal and technical documents
  • Close relationship with the notaire: no question left unanswered
  • Smooth exchanges between all parties: agent, seller, notaire, building manager
  • Early identification and handling of potential friction points
  • Analysis of unspoken issues and underlying risks before any firm commitment
Every step is secured.
22

Achat en toute sérénité

Notre chasseuse a été une aide précieuse tout au long de notre recherche. Ses conseils bienveillants, son professionnalisme et sa parfaite connaissance de l'immobilier nous ont permis de trouver le bien répondant à toutes nos attentes. Elle a su nous accompagner avant, pendant et après l'acquisition, nous rassurer dans les moments de doute, et nous épauler dans nos démarches. Nous remercions chaleureusement notre chasseuse et Home Select pour cet accompagnement sur mesure !

Home Select Response

Merci Olivier pour votre témoignage. Notre collaboration fut aussi sportive qu’agréable: je pense notamment à cette journée de visites où nous avons traversé Paris à pied, sous le soleil, tels des touristes sous le charme de la capitale, avant de dénicher la perle rare dans une jolie rue du 16ème.

Le bon choix

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.

Accompagnement sur mesure

Nous avons fait appel à Home Select pour notre projet d'achat dans le 7ème arrondissement. Notre chasseuse a été d'une disponibilité remarquable tout au long du processus. Elle a su cibler nos attentes dès le premier entretien et nous a présenté des biens parfaitement adaptés à notre cahier des charges. La négociation a été menée avec finesse, nous permettant d'obtenir une réduction significative sur le prix affiché. Un accompagnement professionnel du début à la fin, y compris après la signature chez le notaire.

Home Select Response

Merci Nathalie pour ce témoignage. Votre projet dans le 7ème demandait une connaissance fine du marché local et une réactivité importante. Nous sommes ravis d'avoir pu vous accompagner jusqu'à la remise des clés.

Première acquisition réussie

Primo-accédants, nous étions un peu perdus face à la complexité du marché parisien. Home Select nous a pris en charge avec beaucoup de pédagogie. Notre chasseur nous a expliqué chaque étape du processus, des visites jusqu'à la signature de l'acte authentique. Il a détecté des défauts que nous n'aurions jamais vus seuls et nous a évité un achat risqué avant de trouver notre appartement idéal dans le 11ème. Trois visites ont suffi. Le gain de temps et la sérénité que cela nous a apportés valent largement les honoraires.

Thomas et Julie, accompagner des primo-accédants est toujours un plaisir. Votre confiance et votre écoute ont permis d'avancer efficacement. Profitez bien de votre nouveau chez-vous dans le 11ème !
