Why hire a real estate hunter?
Are you looking for the home of your dreams? Surely you have heard about the very young profession of apartment researcher. It is not 20 years old. It has established itself in France, in its largest cities and in Paris. But few of us know the many benefits it offers. I am going to give you 8 good reasons to hire a real estate hunter to find the ideal property.
1) Find it faster:
The real estate hunter is unbeatable on this subject..
He will devote two to three hours a day looking for your home. His time will be spent in contact with agencies, individual sellers and reading the ads. He also has a network of bankers, property dealers, notaries, architects who can offer him apartments.
He knows where to find the house of your dreams. Specialized agencies, important relationships with sellers, listing of professionals. In a few minutes, the flat hunter can inform between 500 and 1000 agents of his client's criteria.
It is effective. Professional internet search software, ability to analyze ads to perfection, professional contact with agencies. The home catcher knows when an apartment really meets the needs of buyers. It reacts immediately and transmits information.
He is informed before the other buyers and he makes his client benefit from it.
2) Buy cheaper:
The real estate hunter is an expert in selling prices and negotiations.. He knows precisely the value of real estate properties in his sectors. Through access to the notaries database. Through the analysis of the impacts on the purchase price of the qualities and defects of an apartment. Through its daily, important and long-standing practice of transaction rates. He knows how to buy at the best price. Evaluate the margin for negotiation, the need to procrastinate or not to waste time. Know how far you can try to reduce the cost of the apartment. Argue with the seller and the agent while reassuring them.
3) Have access to Off Market apartments:
Houses, lofts, quality housing, are not always accessible on ads or agency windows. Some goods are not advertised. They're called “Off Market.” One of the advantages of a real estate hunter is to give you access to it. Thanks to his relationships with agents, he is familiar with selling before being presented on ad sites. You will be able to visit in advance, more quickly than other buyers. These apartments are the most interesting. They don't need ads to find a buyer. One of the roles of the hunter is to ensure that you will be informed of all the goods sold. Individuals, without knowing it most of the time, are limited to 50 to 60% of offers. Access to the hidden part of the market is provided by your home catcher.
4) Finding the rare pearl:
Are you looking for the ideal property, the real estate hunter finds it for you. No approximation, Its aim is to get your hands on the nugget that corresponds exactly to your wish. You give him the specifications. The essential criteria, the desirable ones and the prohibitive points. By following these requests, the researcher will start looking for the future home. It will take him an average of two months to find this little gem where he will be happy to live. It will not present you with a multitude of properties but will select those that correspond precisely. Quality over quantity. In general, between 4 and 8 visits are necessary to finalize the mission.
5) Benefit from a 360° service:
The aim of the real estate hunter is primarily research, but it will also guide and advise you at all times of the purchase. Financing, research, negotiation, understanding co-ownership, signing of acts, work. At each moment you optimize your approach thanks to the experience of a flat hunter specializing exclusively in the purchase of real estate.
Acquisition is an approach that involves a large number of steps. The real estate hunter will ensure that each of them is carried out in the best interests of the buyer.
6) Don't waste time:
Gone are the hours of deciphering misinformed ads. No more calls to agencies that don't call you back. Stop useless visits to properties that do not correspond. Your real estate hunter takes care of it, he has the solution. It screens for you, selects and only shows you what checks the boxes in the specifications. All you have to do is visit the top apartments. So, you can use this saved time for leisure, family, or even for work. It's up to you to decide.
7) Secure your acquisition:
Buying a home or a property intended for rental represents significant investments. It is therefore important to invest your money in the best possible way. Stone is a safe haven. But you have to remain vigilant. The real estate hunter will ensure that each important step (financing, purchase, condominium, contract) is carried out as best and with full knowledge by the purchaser. The latter must be informed of any elements that could influence the transaction.
The hunter accompanies you on the various options that may be available. He explains them to you in detail and decides with you which one will be beneficial.
Another important point: The liquidity of your purchase. What is it about? Of the greater or lesser ease that you will have to resell. Depending on the location and the qualities (floor, elevator, light, calm, balcony, etc.) of the future home, will it find a buyer quickly? The more liquid it is, the more it has the aspects sought by buyers, the more secure the investment. Your property researcher will keep you informed of his analysis.
8) Be accompanied by a super-buyer
The real estate hunter has made acquisition his profession. He knows all the aspects, the steps, the pitfalls to avoid for the acquisition to be a success. You will have a specialist at your side.
In cities like Paris, there is an additional level of difficulty. Demand is often much greater than supply. The pressure on buyers is very strong. Constant monitoring, ultra-fast decision, delicate evaluation, because prices sometimes increase very quickly. You have to have the right reflexes, decode the expectations of agents and sellers, because offers are often in competition. You have to give yourself the assets to win the apartments. Without knowing the habits of the Parisian real estate market, you risk missing out on the home of your dreams.
Conclusion on the real estate hunter:
If you want your purchase to be simple, pleasant and fast, this is the best solution. In addition, you give yourself the means to invest in the best possible way and with full knowledge. Leave nothing to chance, each step is carefully studied to find the most favorable solution for you. The home catcher offers a tailor-made service. Each buyer and their research are treated in a unique way. The researcher will adapt to your agenda, to the requirements of the specifications and to your financial profile.
After several months of research (in a very targeted neighborhood), I decided to call on Talk to me about Paris to get out of this spiral of visits that were not successful. An investment that proved to be very effective since I made an offer at the end of the 5th visit.
Great experience with Talk to me about Paris. Patrick is a professional who accompanies his clients very well in the search for their future place to live. Very attentive, he creates a favourable environment that encourages exchanges with the various stakeholders.
The agency was able to perfectly identify our needs and found us the apartment that ticked all the boxes in a few days and at first glance when we had been looking for several months. Beyond efficiency: professionalism, expertise, availability and a lot of people.
