Do you need the services of an apartment hunter?
What can an apartment hunter do for you?
Are you hesitant to use the services of an apartment hunter? We are going to explain to you what it can bring you, the qualities and the experience it puts at the service of buyers. Why is this profession unknown to the French 20 years ago and is now booming?
The three questions to ask yourself:
- time,
- presence,
- knowledge of the real estate market.
Do you have time to spend looking for an apartment?
To start with this subject, we are going to give you information that will save you precious time: more than the number of hours, it is above all the regularity that will guarantee you to quickly find the house or apartment of your dreams. Indeed, quality real estate quickly finds buyers. They are therefore visible for a short time. Thus, it is essential to consult the ads every day, to contact the agencies regularly. If you don't have the capacity to devote a moment to your research on a daily basis, it is likely to last forever. Especially if you are looking in an area of high demand or if you are looking for a rare and highly sought-after property.
An apartment hunter usually devotes a quarter of time to each search. It is one of the secrets of his ability to quickly find the ideal property. He does not miss any opportunity by being present every day looking for each of his buyers. If you want to use a real estate hunter, ask him how many customers he manages simultaneously.
Are you present?
Obviously, if you are not there, in the city where you want to buy, it will be difficult for you to find an apartment there. Apartment hunters often work for remote buyers; living in France or abroad. They have the ability to set up acquisition processes with buyers who do not have the opportunity to quickly visit an apartment. New technologies, WhatsApp, WeChat, Imo, and other mobile applications make it possible to visit remotely, communicate extremely quickly, and make decisions remotely. For remote buyers, real estate hunters offer connections with architects, rental management agencies, movers, real estate brokers...
The hunter will also be able to advise his foreign customers or direct them to notaries competent to find the best tax options, financing opportunities...
Do you know the real estate market?
An apartment hunter knows his market perfectly, the prices there, and the habits of sellers and real estate agents. He will also advise you on real estate legislation.
Market prices:
To fully know the prices that are available in a neighborhood, a district, a city, you need experience. This is acquired over time and through the daily practice of acquisition prices and market fluctuations. This knowledge that the real estate hunter puts at your service is particularly useful for evaluating the value of an apartment. These tips will allow you to negotiate as best as possible when you like an apartment. In the same building, apartments can be sold at different prices depending on many criteria that an apartment hunter will be able to analyze and explain to you.
Habits of salespeople and real estate agents:
Anticipating reactions, collecting information, evaluating their veracity, presenting the best profile of a buyer, all points that can make the difference in obtaining the agreement of a seller when a market is tight. This knowledge of the habits of sellers will also allow you to know to what extent a negotiation is possible for the purchase of the apartment of your dreams.
Why know real estate legislation?
La real estate legislation is abundant. It is important to know your rights when buying an apartment or a house. The legislation concerns the protection of buyers, urban planning rules, co-ownership, renting, etc. Apartment hunters must know the laws that govern real estate transactions in order to advise and inform buyers.
In conclusion
if you have little time to devote to your real estate project, if you are not present or if you want to be accompanied to acquire in the best possible conditions, the choice of using an apartment hunter could be the right choice.
