Sommaire

Take stock of your research

First and foremost, it's important to take the time needed to clearly define your real estate expectations. It is also important to make sure that your project is in line with your budget. Your house hunter is in a position to advise you on this first step.

Determine the important criteria for your future property

We advise you to list the elements that you would like to find in your future home. The ideal is to be able to determine the incompressible criteria (the number of rooms for example) and the secondary criteria (such as a preference for high floors). The objective is not to miss out on a property that could suit you!

Talk about the research done on your end

Here is a point that we do not always think about, and yet it has its place among the keys to a successful collaboration with your Real estate hunter. It is important to tell the professional who accompanies you whether you have already made visits or not. If necessary, describe to him how you feel at the end of these visits: this will help him to better understand your expectations.

Define your budget

Identify exactly how much you want to allocate to this investment. In case of a personal contribution, think about the amount you will inject into your purchase project. Do not hesitate to make an appointment with a broker, he will offer you the best financing solutions. Your apartment hunter will surely advise you to get an agreement in principle concerning your loan. Indeed, this will allow your case to stand out from the crowd if you are required to make an offer to purchase. In his role as an advisor, your real estate hunter will also be able to tell you if your budget is coherent given the property you are looking for.

Maintain a relationship of trust with your real estate hunter

Use a hunter house or apartment allows you to delegate numerous procedures, which are often tedious and time-consuming. Let's take the example of looking for properties to visit. It is very likely that you have already spent some time browsing web pages... with results far from always being there. Rely on your real estate professional: he has many tools that allow him to scan the entire market. Your real estate hunter thus has access to offers from individuals, agencies, notaries but also to properties that do not yet appear for sale. You can therefore trust him: this expert knows your expectations and works daily in your interest!

Preparing for a possible negotiation

Your Apartment hunter is competent in negotiating the selling price of the property to be acquired. This point should be the subject of a prior discussion during which you and your expert will have defined a course of action to follow. Thanks to his experience in the market, this professional will advise you in order to conduct a realistic negotiation. It analyzes the elements of the home that can justify a decrease in the selling price, and will highlight them to the seller. Talk to your apartment or house hunter about the possible future negotiation, so they will have every chance of succeeding. Be reactive: in big cities, a sale can be completed in less than a day!

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!
