Contact the real estate hunter
Contact the partner of your choice to get a first appointment, without obligation.
This is an opportunity to explain your project to him, to get to know him and to analyze your financial situation. This first step in buying with a real estate hunter is essential so that he can study the feasibility of your criteria (surface, location, budget, etc.) and collect all the information he needs for informed decision-making.
Sign the research mandate and establish the specifications
The signing of the search mandate establishes the beginning of the collaboration with the hunter. He will help you define precise specifications for your project: characteristics of the housing, neighborhood, budget, deadlines and requirements, availability for visits, etc. For the purchase with a real estate hunter, the latter will also be responsible for studying your financing file and presenting it to a partner broker to find you the best real estate loan according to your profile.
Search and select accommodation
Thanks to his expertise in the real estate market, the hunter is in a position to optimize his research to find you the ideal property. He covers the entire target market and uses his personal and professional network in order to access off-market goods. These are properties offered exclusively, even before being presented to the general public. This way you will not be in competition with other buyers.
Visit selected properties
Buying with a real estate hunter allows you to rule out homes with too many inconveniences, to schedule a visit if you like the property and to adjust your search criteria if necessary. He carries out meticulous investigative work to find the rare pearl. All you have to do is travel to visit the properties that meet your criteria: no more disappointments and no more wasting time! The real estate hunter can also put you in touch with building partners to help you plan and estimate possible work. In the event of a purchase in a condominium, he does all the usual checks to ensure your interests (DPE study, general meeting minutes, analysis of the property's environment, etc.).
Present the purchase offer
Are you seduced by a property and you want to make an offer to the seller? Buying with a real estate hunter allows you to establish the best strategy. Indeed, he was able to survey the seller during the visits and will be able to advise you to negotiate the property according to its location, condition and rarity. He will then be in charge of negotiations with the seller or the real estate agent to obtain the desired property.
Sign the sales agreement
When the offer is accepted by the seller, you must sign a sales agreement. Both the compromise and the promise are preliminary sales contracts. In general, the compromise is signed at the real estate agency and the promise of sale at the notary. In both cases, the hunter accompanies you and advises you during this phase of the acquisition. Buying with a real estate hunter means they can present you with a notary.
Sign the authentic act of sale
The hunter's objective is to secure your purchase. Buying with a real estate hunter includes precise monitoring of your financing file. Then, you are officially the new owner of the home and you can pick up the keys to the property as soon as the signature is effective.
Move into the purchased property
Finally, the last step for a purchase with a real estate hunter: all you have to do is take possession of the purchased and furnished property. If the property is immediately habitable, you can place your furniture there. If the property requires some work, you move in when it is completed. The real estate hunter then successfully completed his mission to find you a home corresponding to your criteria and at the best price.

Olivier was able to help us find the right property for us. He listened to us and was full of suggestions. His advice was invaluable at every stage of our search and right up to the negotiation of the property. A big thank you!
I embarked on the adventure of a first Parisian acquisition following an inheritance and in a context where the market was rather sluggish. I can only thank Olivier Lebé, who guided me for several months to refine my project until the acquisition of a very beautiful apartment in the 19th arrondissement. His ability to listen, his attentive support, his perfect knowledge of the real estate market and the neighborhood allowed me to embark on this first purchase with complete peace of mind. Excellent service is an investment, but peace of mind is well worth the price!
A big thank you to Patrick for his professionalism and efficiency! Thanks to his ability to listen and his perfect knowledge of the market, he was able to find the ideal property. Tailor-made support, sound advice and exemplary responsiveness. I highly recommend his services!
