that offers a full real estate service for local and international clients. Searching for the ideal property and managing the procedures that come with it can quickly become daunting without experience in the Parisian real estate market. Help from a real estate hunter can offer you real solutions! While talking with our clients, we discovered that this regulated service remains virtually unknown. It is, however, a highly useful real estate service undertaking different names such as a “real estate hunt” or a “property search service”.
The Indisputable Interests of Property Hunting
A property hunting professional alone embodies real added value in the real estate industry.
perfect knowledge of the market make them the ideal person for obtaining quality advice and investing in the property you need – both in terms of esthetic ideal, geographic location, or support for negotiating the offer.
Plus, in France, the majority of real estate agreements start with research and contact over the internet. Despite being a particularly rich and diversified place in regard to offers, there are also scams of all kinds! Property hunters are essential if you want to find a property remotely with complete peace of mind: They guarantee meeting the owners in person as well as physical evaluations of the property.
How do you choose a property hunter?
Your property hunter will accompagny you through all the stages that constitute the sale or/and search for real estate (definition of the project, search for the property, notarial assistance, etc.) They take your budget into account and assume the different roles your service requires such as real estate advisor , negotiator, or agent.
Due to the importance of the missions entrusted to them, any person involved in property hunting must meet the following criteria:
- Possess a professional card.
- Only collect fees if the mission entrusted to them was a success;
- Adhere to a professional federation. This guarantees the legitimacy of the property hunting activity, thus sparing you any unauthorized act of non-professional property hunters (request for fees before the end of the mission or lying about the price of the property).
The real estate industry is a competitive market and it can be difficult to know who to turn to. Provide good communication and be kind to your property hunter, you will often be in contact with them during the journey that is finding your ideal property.
Property Hunting, A Cost Under the Sign of Consistency
Remember, a property hunter will be able to provide you with a custom real estate service.They visit properties for you, skillfully negotiate the price, and can even assist you with the signing of the notarized deed of sale – all in record time. Their services are thus remunerated as a percentage of the property price. You can also select the level of service you want. For example, you can choose to visit the properties selected by your property hunter yourself and ask that they step in only when you are interested in a property.
In general, the fees are between 2% and 5% and only if the mission is successful. Some additional charges may apply, such as the percentage on gain from negotiating the purchase price of the apartment or house.
We can also offer packages depending on the level of service desired. “We commissioned Open Up to search for our Parisian property. We chose a property hunting package and a % on negotiation (reduction of the purchase price). This has allowed us to better budget our investment and to know where we are going!” says one of our clients.
Property hunters differ from real estate agents in many ways!
A real estate agency has a list of goods associated with sellers that they themselves have prospected and that they must satisfy by selling as quickly as possible – because remember – a seller can register their property in several agencies. Thus, a conversation with a real estate agent will be much more biased, since both the buyer AND the seller must be just as satisfied.
→ Via an exclusive research contract, the property hunter focuses their daily energy on your interests as the buyer: Negotiating prices when possible, complete transparency on the property, personalized support, very targeted research, etc.
