"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

Method
  • 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

Professional tools

Method
  • 1,700 sites scanned continuously via 3 partner real estate startups
  • Hundreds of emails received daily: automatically cross-referenced with your criteria
  • 100+ daily off-market properties via FCI and APIC, before any publication
  • Alerts on all public portals: no property slips through the net
  • Proprietary application: all sources aggregated, cross-referenced, qualified before transmission
7 professional sources are activated simultaneously.
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

Final signing

Trouvé en 2 semaines

Divorcée avec deux enfants, je devais trouver un nouvel appartement rapidement dans le même quartier pour ne pas changer d'école. Sophie Ithurbide a compris l'urgence et la sensibilité de ma situation. En 2 semaines, elle m'a trouvé un 3 pièces parfait à 300 mètres de l'école. Une aide précieuse dans un moment difficile.

Mutation express

Mutation professionnelle urgente de Lyon à Paris. J'avais 3 semaines pour trouver. Sophie Ithurbide a organisé une journée marathon de 8 visites ciblées, toutes correspondant à mes critères. J'ai fait une offre le soir même sur un 2 pièces dans le 11ème, acceptée le lendemain. Sans Home Select, j'aurais mis des mois. Efficacité remarquable.
