Avoid the hassles of finding an apartment with an agent
Ah! the joys of looking for apartments in Paris! Spend hours browsing the web and all the available ads, make lists of choices, make lists of choices, call, leave messages, wait for a call back, visit non-compliant apartments, discover apartments at the same time as your real estate agent, file files, forget papers, forget papers, wait in the building hall to be able to visit... pass by the apartment of your dreams. As you will have understood, it is more and more difficult to find accommodation in Paris and the Paris region and this demotivates many candidates to buy real estate or simply to change housing.
The bad reputation of real estate agents
There are many criticisms made against real estate agencies and agents. They have a bad reputation and the results of the polls speak for themselves: more than 46% of French people have a bad image of them (IFOP survey, May 2016). What is massively emerging from the numerous studies on the subject is that real estate agents do not necessarily offer a property corresponding to the desires of their customers and that they show the properties they have in their portfolio, without looking elsewhere. Today, future tenants are waiting to find a property that meets their needs, but above all to be accompanied and advised. This is why trusting an apartment hunter helps to avoid disappointments.
The advantages of going through an apartment hunter
The apartment hunter or real estate hunter (the English speak of “property finder” or “flat hunter”) is a real estate agent who will find the property that suits you. Relational sense, listen, he participates in the construction of your housing project. But it is above all a professional in the sector who is able to find “THE” very atypical, the apartment of your dreams. He researches and prospects for you, he also carries out pre-visits to ensure the conformity of the property with the description and there he selects the real estate products that he will submit to you.
The real estate hunter takes care of everything!
During the visits, he accompanies you to answer all your questions, advise you on possible work or arrangements. It allows you to plan ahead and consider buying or renting in the best possible way. Once the property is chosen, he takes care of the formalities, negotiations, the notary and you Guide in the procedures.
Clearly, an apartment hunter allows you to save time, money and make sure you find the property of your dreams. But especially as with Parlemoi de Paris, you do not pay for its services, if and only if, you make a transaction.
We can only recommend and advise Parlez-moi de Paris for your real estate searches. We contacted them in September 2024 and our interlocutor, Olivier, was able to understand our request and refine our search criteria. He has shown patience and commitment to our project and thanks to him we have an apartment that we would not have had access to without his network and his knowledge. Thanks to Olivier and to the Parlez-moi de Paris team.
After having had a very disappointing experience with an apartment hunter for a year, given that we live abroad, in February I contacted “Parlez-moi de Paris” and from the first meeting with Susan we were reassured and comforted! And already in June, we signed the bill of sale! She immediately identified our priorities and needs, she has a gift for listening and feeling the other person. Very responsive, always available, calm and very professional, she accompanied us in all the procedures with the notary and even showed us the neighborhood that we did not know at all! A very nice experience!
I had the opportunity to collaborate with Suzan on two common issues and everything went well. She was very involved, available and efficient from start to finish, resulting in a smooth and timely transaction. It is a real pleasure to work with such a serious professional, whom I highly recommend!
