What is a real estate hunter? How can we help you?

A property hunter is a professional who exclusively handles property search and purchase. Our main role as property hunters is to simplify the purchase of an apartment or house for you. We offer personalized search by understanding your needs, preferences and budget. We save you time by handling all the time-consuming aspects. We have privileged access to off-market properties and exclusive offers. We use our negotiation expertise to get you the best purchase price. We accompany you through every step of the acquisition, from financing to taking possession of your new apartment, making your purchase simple and stress-free.

Why hire a real estate hunter rather than looking for it myself?

Hiring a property hunter offers several advantages: our expertise and in-depth knowledge of the Parisian real estate market for over 15 years allow you to make quick and informed decisions. You save hours or even days of intensive searching. We have access to exclusive properties not yet on the market. We dedicate several hours per day exclusively to your search. Our negotiation experience can offset our fees by securing you the best conditions. We eliminate stress by handling the details, paperwork and coordination. We conduct targeted searches showing you only properties matching your criteria. You benefit from legal protection with access to our legal service throughout the search.

What is the difference between a real estate hunter and a real estate agent?

The main distinction lies in their clientele and objective. The property hunter works exclusively for the buyer and actively searches for the best purchasing opportunities, while the real estate agent signs contracts with sellers and presents properties from their portfolio. The property hunter is paid by the buyer, the agent by commission on the sale. The property hunter has access to almost all properties for sale, including off-market ones, while the agent only presents properties from their agency. The property hunter is fully invested in finding the best property at the best price with total impartiality, while the agent's primary task is to sell the property. The property hunter offers complementary services such as financing search, administrative assistance and recommendations for other professionals.

How long am I committed if I sign a search mandate with you?

Our search mandate contracts have no time commitment. You have the freedom to terminate your mandate whenever you wish. There is no minimum duration imposed and termination is simple and free of charge. If your plans change or you decide to no longer use our services, you can terminate the mandate without complications or costs. Our approach is based on establishing a relationship of trust and respect for your freedom of choice at every stage of the process.

Are you present during the visits?

Yes, we make sure to be present at each viewing. This presence is essential for several reasons: we bring our real estate market expertise and provide you with accurate analyses of the property's value, neighborhood trends and technical aspects. Being on site allows direct exchanges in real time and immediate answers to your questions. Your feedback during the viewing helps us refine our understanding of what you're looking for and optimize the selection of future properties. Our presence gives us the ability to act quickly if you like a property. We ensure all important aspects are considered before making a decision, from the actual condition of the apartment to any procedures needed to secure your acquisition.

How do I buy an apartment if I am not there?

We are perfectly equipped to support remote buyers. We use WhatsApp and FaceTime for personalized virtual viewings in real time. If an apartment interests you, we can draft and send a purchase offer on your behalf and start negotiations. Once the offer is initially accepted, we recommend you come to validate your choice in person. For signing the sale documents, we can ask your notary to prepare a power of attorney if you cannot be present. You can attend the signing sessions via video conference. We will obviously be present during signings to defend your interests. We are committed to making the purchase process as smooth and secure as possible, even remotely.

What regions or cities do you cover as real estate hunters?

Our area of expertise extends mainly to Paris within the city limits with its 20 arrondissements, from the Right Bank to the Left Bank. We have in-depth knowledge of the different Parisian neighborhoods, from the Marais to the elegant 16th arrondissement. We also cover the inner suburbs and beyond, including Hauts-de-Seine (92), Seine-Saint-Denis (93) and Val-de-Marne (94), with cities like Neuilly-sur-Seine, Boulogne-Billancourt, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés or Montreuil. We cover these areas with the same attention to detail as Paris, allowing our clients to access an even wider range of properties.

How do you charge for real estate hunting services? What are the associated costs?

Our fees range from 2% to 2.5% including VAT of the property acquisition price. This range reflects our commitment to provide complete service from first contact to handing over the keys. Our fees include: financing search, property search, purchase price negotiation, condominium advice, legal counsel for all contractual stages, support for sale contracts (from preliminary agreement to authentic deed), as well as advice on renovations and concierge service to facilitate your move-in. Our fees reflect the richness and diversity of services we offer, guaranteeing a serene, informed and fully personalized purchasing experience.

Do I have to pay you a fee if the search stops before I find an apartment?

No, you don't have to worry about fees if the search stops before a purchase is finalized. Our model is based on the principle of success: we are paid only when you officially become an owner. There are no initial fees, interim payments or hidden costs. Our compensation is conditional on the actual completion of your real estate project. If your plans change or you decide to stop the search for any reason, there will be no fee required from us. We believe in a transparent and trusting relationship with our clients.

Can you help me negotiate the purchase price of a property?

Yes, absolutely. Negotiation is one of the crucial steps and this is where our expertise makes all the difference. We conduct an accurate property evaluation through comparative analysis of recently sold properties in the area. Our technical expertise allows us to identify strengths and potential defects influencing negotiation. Our knowledge of the local market allows us to know when and how to approach negotiation. We define a negotiation strategy with you, taking into account your priorities, your budget and the seller's situation. We are by your side throughout the exchanges and advise you on the amount of a first offer and how to respond to counter-offers. Our goal is to obtain the best price while securing the transaction.

Can I hire you to find a rental property or only to buy a property?

You can absolutely use our services to search for a rental property. Our expertise is not limited only to property purchases. We have in-depth knowledge of the rental market for all types of properties. Our experience and network allow us to find offers that precisely match your criteria for location, size, budget or specific requirements. Whether you're looking for a short-term rental, a long-term lease, or a furnished rental, we will listen to you and guide you throughout the process. We will ensure you find the ideal property and accompany you through all administrative procedures associated with a rental.

How long does it usually take to search with a real estate hunter?

Search duration varies considerably depending on several factors: your search criteria (precision and flexibility), the state of the real estate market (buyer's market vs seller's market, time of year), location (availability and property turnover in sought-after areas), your budget in line with the current market, your responsiveness and speed in making decisions, and the property hunter's expertise. Generally, with our help, the search can take from a few weeks to several months. Some lucky clients find the perfect property in a few days, while others with very specific criteria may wait several months. We recommend clearly communicating your expectations and criteria from the start. The more precise information you provide us, the better we can effectively target properties matching your wishes.

Yes, one of the main added values of a real estate hunter is precisely his ability to negotiate the price of a property in your favor. Here's how and why:

Market expertise :

A real estate hunter has a thorough knowledge of the local market. He is therefore in a position to assess whether the asking price for a property is fair or if there is room for negotiation.

Objective assessment :

Unlike an individual buyer, the real estate hunter does not have an emotional attachment to a property. He can therefore adopt an objective and pragmatic approach during the negotiation, based on factual data such as the price per m² in the neighborhood, the condition of the property, the work to be planned, etc.

Assessment tools :

Real estate hunters must be able to offer you access to certified sales price references that will allow you to get an objective idea of the selling price. On the other hand, they can tell you the precise marketing history of a property, which will be a valuable tool for building an effective negotiation strategy.

Negotiation strategy :

With his experience, the real estate hunter knows when and how to approach the negotiation. He can adopt various strategies, whether direct negotiation on the price, or advantageous terms (suspensive conditions, deadlines, etc.).

Recognized intermediary :

Real estate sellers and agents recognize the value of a real estate hunter as a serious and professional intermediary. This recognition can facilitate discussions and lead to a mutually beneficial agreement.

Potential savings :

Although the real estate hunter has fees, successfully negotiating a property can often result in savings greater than these fees, making the service ultimately profitable for the buyer.

Protection of the Buyer's Interests :

The real estate hunter works exclusively for the buyer. Its mission is to protect your interests, which means getting the best possible good at the best price for you.

In short, while negotiating can seem daunting or tricky for many buyers, a qualified real estate hunter has the expertise and skills to do it effectively on your behalf.

How does the hunter find properties?

The main role of a real estate hunter is to search for real estate that matches the criteria of his customers. To do so, it uses a combination of techniques and resources:

Access to professional databases:

Real estate hunters often have access to professional databases and dedicated platforms that are not always accessible to the general public. These tools allow them to have a complete overview of the properties available on the market.

Extensive professional network:

One of the great strengths of the real estate hunter is his network. He is in regular contact with real estate agents, notaries, developers and other professionals in the sector. This network allows him to be quickly informed of new properties for sale, even before they are officially put on the market.

Active prospecting:

A real estate hunter doesn't just wait for properties to come to him. He regularly carries out active surveys, whether by telephone, by visiting specific neighborhoods or real estate professionals.

“Off-market” goods:

Thanks to his network and his prospecting, the hunter can have access to “off-market” goods, that is to say goods that are not yet officially for sale or that are sold in a very discreet manner.

Visits:

Before initiating a visit, the real estate hunter will find out about the address and check that the property corresponds precisely to the client's search criteria. He may request plans and any documents that can inform the buyer and allow him to verify that the property corresponds. Sometimes, he will carry out a pre-visit when a doubt needs to be resolved.

Collaboration with other hunters:

Real estate hunters can sometimes collaborate with each other, especially when they are looking for a very specific type of property or in a particular geographic area.

Use of social media and online platforms:

Real estate hunters also use social media and other online platforms to find properties, interact with local communities, and stay up to date with market trends.

Market trend analysis:

By staying informed of trends and developments in the real estate market, the hunter can anticipate areas with high potential or properties likely to meet the needs of his customers.

In conclusion, the real estate hunter uses a combination of skills, tools, and resources to find the best properties for their clients. Its proactive approach and its extensive network give it a distinct advantage in finding properties that exactly match the expectations of its customers, sometimes even before they are accessible to the general public.
