Why negotiation is crucial

In Paris, the asking price is not the final price. Even in a tight market, a negotiation margin almost always exists. The différence: knowing how to exploit it.

A private buyer, emotionally attached to the property, often negotiates poorly. The hunter, on the other hand, negotiates with objectivity and professionalism. It is their core expertise.

The maths is simple: on a property listed at 1 million euros, 6% negotiation = €60,000 saved. Our fees (2.5% of the net seller price) are more than offset.

Our negotiation techniques

Comparable analysis

We study recent sales in the neighbourhood and building to establish the true market price.

Weakness identification

Required works, nuisances, high charges... Every defect becomes a negotiation argument.

Understanding the seller

Motivations, deadlines, constraints... Understanding the seller allows us to build a winning offer.

Offer strategy

Calibrated first offer, anticipated counter-proposals, optimal timing.

Professional posture

A hunter negotiates without emotion. They defend your interests with objectivity and firmness.

Agent relationships

Our long-standing relationships with estate agents facilitate negotiation. They trust us.

Frequently asked questions

Can you always negotiate the price?

Almost always. Even on 'hot' properties, a margin exists. The extent depends on the property, time on market, seller motivations, identified defects...

Is 6% guaranteed?

6% is our average over 1,200+ negotiations. Some properties don't negotiate (rare, highly sought-after ones), others negotiate at 10% or more. Each situation is unique.

How do you know the 'real' market price?

We analyse recent sales, our own transaction history, price per sqm for the neighbourhood and building. 15 years of expérience also gives us a deep understanding of the market.

Does the seller know I have a hunter?

Yes, we present ourselves as your representative. Contrary to what you might think, this strengthens your credibility: you're a serious buyer, accompanied by a professional.
