Our property hunter fees

From the first call to the keys in your hand, your dedicated hunter is with you every step of the way. Our fee of 2.5% (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT), paid only on success, is among the lowest in the Paris market (sector average: 4%). The average 6% reduction we secure on the asking price more than offsets the fee.

Frequently asked questions about fees

Are your fees included in the notary fees?
No. Our fees are entirely separate from the notary fees. They are paid directly to the hunter on completion at the notary's office.
What happens if you don't find my property?
At Home Select, fees are paid only on success. If we don't find your property within the agreed timeframe (typically three to six months), you pay nothing at all.
Are your fees negotiable?
Our fees are transparent and reflect the quality of the service. On average, the 6% reduction we secure on the asking price more than offsets the fee.
When are the fees due?
The fees are due only at completion at the notary's office: that is, when you officially become the owner. Never before.
Why 2.5%, and not less?
This rate enables us to mobilise a team of 16 hunters, work the off-market and secure an average 6% reduction on the asking price. The net gain for our clients consistently exceeds the fee.
Are there any hidden fees?
None. Our fee covers the entire service, from the first brief to the keys in your hand. No file fees, no registration fees, no surprises.
