Duo offer

Buy and sell simultaneously:
the Home Select duo offer

The dual transaction, a Parisian headache

Sell first?

You sell your property, but you haven't found the next one yet. The result: a temporary move, a storage unit, temporary accommodation to finance. Stress builds up and you risk buying in haste.

Buy first?

A bridging loan advances you 60 to 80% of your current property's value, but it is expensive (interest + insurance). And if your property doesn't sell within the deadline, the financial pressure becomes considérable.

Do both at the same time

This is the most effective solution, provided it is perfectly orchestrated. A single expert coordinates the sale and purchase, synchronises the calendars and secures the financing. Zero stress, zero bridging loan.

Our method in 4 steps

1

Assessment and scoping

We appraise your current property based on comparable neighbourhood transactions, then define your new project together: budget, surface area, target arrondissements, criteria. The net proceeds from your current property determine your purchasing power.

2

Optimised listing and parallel search

Your property is listed with professional photography and targeted distribution to our network of 6,000 buyer's agents. In parallel, your property hunter launches the search: on- and off-market sourcing, filmed pre-viewings, qualified shortlist.

3

Synchronising offers and timelines

This is the most delicate phase. We coordinate offers received on your property with your purchase offer. We negotiate signing deadlines so that both calendars fit together perfectly.

4

Coordinated dual signing

Both final deeds are scheduled to avoid any period without housing and any need for a bridging loan. We coordinate both notary offices, banks and surveyors for a seamless conclusion. You sell and buy on the same day.

The benefits of the duo offer

Preferential rate

By entrusting both transactions to Home Select, you benefit from a significant discount on the search fees. The savings more than offset the cost of the dual assignment.

A single point of contact

One dedicated expert manages both your projects. No information lost, fast décisions, consolidated weekly reporting. You gain peace of mind and efficiency.

Notary and bank coordination

We liaise between both notary offices, your bank and your mortgage broker. Conditions precedent, timelines and clauses are harmonised to prevent any deadlock.

Perfect timing

No period without housing, no double move, no storage unit. We synchronise the signing dates so you move directly from the old to the new.

Consistent pricing strategy

Your purchase budget depends directly on your net sale proceeds. We adjust the pricing strategy in real time on both sides so that the numbers balance out.

Zero bridging loan

Back-to-back synchronisation eliminates the need for interim financing. You save the interest and insurance of a bridging loan.

They chose the duo offer

"We needed to sell our 3-bedroom flat in the 15th to buy a 4-bedroom in the 16th with our third child on the way. Our property hunter synchronised both transactions with remarkable precision: preliminary sale contract signed on a Tuesday, preliminary purchase contract the following Thursday. Both final deeds were signed on the same day at the notary, two hours apart. We saved on the bridging loan and the discount on the search fees paid for the move. An exceptional service."

Family, upsizing

Sale 15th + Purchase 16th, 2025

"After 25 years in our Marais apartment, we wanted a ground-floor with garden in the inner suburbs. The sale of our property funded the purchase without a bridging loan. Having a single point of contact to coordinate everything was invaluable comfort."

Retirees, lifestyle change

Sale 3rd + Purchase Saint-Cloud, 2024

"Relocation from Lyon to Paris with the resale of our house. The hunter managed the sale remotely and found our Parisian apartment. Both signatures were scheduled 48 hours apart. A smooth service despite the complexity."

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to sell before buying?

Not necessarily. That is precisely the point of the duo offer: we assess three scenarios (sell first, buy first, simultaneous) and their implications for your financing. During the scoping phase, we determine the optimal strategy based on your cash flow, market conditions and timing constraints. In the majority of cases, synchronising both transactions is possible and preferable.

How much does the duo offer cost?

Our search fees are 2.5% of the purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT). By also entrusting the sale to Home Select, you benefit from a significant discount on the search fees. The exact amount is defined during scoping and written into the mandate. For the sale, fees are 5% of the net sale price, payable by the buyer of your property.

How do you synchronise both transactions?

This is our speciality. We negotiate harmonised signing deadlines in both preliminary contracts. Conditions precedent are coordinated, and we schedule the final deeds back-to-back (on the same day or within a few days of each other). We work closely with both notary offices and your bank to ensure everything fits together.

What if my property doesn't sell?

We adjust the strategy in real time. If the sale takes longer than expected, we can reposition the price, broaden the distribution or negotiate an extension on the purchase preliminary contract. As a last resort, a bridging loan can be arranged with the help of our partner brokers. Over the past 14 years, 96% of our assignments have been successful.

Is the duo offer available across Île-de-France?

Yes. Our team of 16 property hunters covers central Paris and the inner suburbs (Boulogne-Billancourt, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Levallois-Perret, Saint-Cloud, Versailles, etc.). You can sell in à Parisian arrondissement and buy in the suburbs, or vice versa. The coordination remains identical.
