Sell your Paris flat: dedicated hunter support

Your project

Your sale project

Our 15 years on the buyer side give us a rare edge when we sell: we know exactly what buyers seek, how they visit, what tips them to offer and what scares them off. A buyer-built listing is what makes the difference between an ad that drags and a property that sells.

Honest valuation

No inflated valuation to win the mandate. We cross recent notarial sales, micro-market tension, property condition and charges. You leave the first meeting with a realistic price range that sells, not a marketing price.

Professional staging

Photos by professional real estate photographer, video and 3D floor plan if relevant, descriptive written for buyers (not for Google). Optional: light home staging with our partner decorator. Cost included in the mandate, not on top.

Qualified buyers

Targeted distribution to our base of active buyers (1,200 buyers supported since 2011, several hundred actively searching at any time). Financial pre-qualification of every visitor, seriousness check on every offer.

4 to 8 weeks Average time between mandate signing and preliminary agreement on our sales.

Our method

How your sale unfolds

Four steps to sell your Paris property in the best conditions.

01

Valuation and strategy
Week 1

Visit at your place, study of recent notarial sales in the same building and district, analysis of micro-market tension. Joint choice of listing price and listing strategy (exclusive, semi-exclusive, multi-agency mandate). Mandate signed.
02

Property preparation
Weeks 1 to 2

Professional photo shoot, editorial descriptive, 2D or 3D floor plan, staging advice (tidying, paint if needed), optional light home staging. The property must be ready to present at its best from the first visit.
03

Targeted listing
Weeks 2 to 6

Distribution on mainstream portals (SeLoger, LeBonCoin, Bien'ici), our active buyer base, partner agency network. Financial pre-qualification of candidates before visit. Grouped visits ideally, to create slight positive tension.
04

Offers, negotiation, preliminary
Within 4 to 8 weeks

Analysis of each offer (price, conditions, financial solidity), neutral advice on acceptance or counter. Once accepted, support to preliminary and final deed: review, suspensive conditions follow-up, notary coordination.

Seller testimonials

Three classic agencies had given me a price between €1.2 and €1.3 million. Home Select said €1.15 million and explained why. I signed a preliminary at €1.14 million in 5 weeks, no drop, no useless visits. Three months later, the other agencies were still trying to sell comparable properties at €1.3 million.

Sold in 6 weeks, at 2% of asking price. The valuation was fair from day one, that changes everything.

Exceptional photos, carefully written description, property showcased. 14 visits in 3 weeks, two serious offers.

Frequently asked

Your questions on selling

What are your selling fees?

Our selling fees start at 3% of the sale price incl. VAT, decreasing with amount. They are 100% on success, payable only at final deed signing. They can be borne by the seller (classic mandate) or buyer (buyer mandate), per your preference and strategy.

Exclusive, semi-exclusive or multi-agency mandate: which to pick?

Exclusive mandate (single intermediary) statistically generates a sale price 5 to 8% higher and faster commercialization, because your property is showcased. Semi-exclusive adds your right to sell directly to a buyer from your network. Multi-agency often disperses effort. We recommend exclusive except in specific cases.

How long to sell a Paris flat?

Our average is 4 to 8 weeks between mandate signing and preliminary. On highly demanded properties (Paris 6th, 7th, 16th, 4-room and up in good condition), 2 to 4 weeks possible. On harder properties (DPE D or E, ground floor, works needed), 8 to 12 weeks.

Should I do works before selling?

Rarely. Except extreme cases, heavy works are not recouped at resale: the buyer prefers their own choices and benefits from a smaller works discount than the actual cost. We do systematically recommend: off-white paint if colored walls, tidying and decluttering, small cosmetic fixes (joints, bulbs, taps).

What should I prepare before the first meeting?

Ideally: property title, latest property tax, latest charge calls and minutes of the last 3 years' general meetings, diagnostics if already done (DPE, lead, asbestos, electricity, gas, ERP, Carrez surface). If you do not have them, we refer you to a partner diagnostician.

Do you sell off-market?

Yes, on specific request. For prestige properties or sellers seeking total discretion (family or professional reasons), we offer marketing outside public listings, only to our active buyer file matching. Timeline may be longer but confidentiality is total.
