First contact
We will contact you in order to refine your search and provide a free
consultation to answer any questions you may have about the area of your
search, prices, and any other aspects of the property market. We will send
you an estimate for our services, and a revised outline of your search
criteria for your review.
When you are ready to proceed, we will select the right
personal property finder for your search. At your first meeting together, in
person or by phone, you will zero in further on your ideal property. Many
of our clients provide us with pictures or descriptions of other
properties they have seen, even addresses of buildings they would like to
live in! We are ready to work with as much or as little detail as you have
to offer.
Our fees are based on the difficulty of the search and the size of the
property. In your contract you will see our 100% transparent fee
structure: property finder has no hidden, additional fees, nor do we share
commissions with sellers or selling agents. With property finder you know that
our loyalty always lies with you, our client: our only interest is to find
you the best property, regardless of the selling source.
The search begins
Now it’s our turn. Of course we search all the public and private
resources available: walking the neighborhoods, as well as searching every
publication, website and estate agent database. But that’s not all: property finder’s private, proprietary resources include a consolidated database
of all private sale listings on the market in Paris, as well as direct
contacts with hundreds of real estate agencies, property managers,
corporate and private owners, in and around Paris. Your search goes out to
our partners and contacts as soon as we start searching for you. They then
call us as soon as they have a property for you long before that
listing is ever posted, anywhere. With this coverage, we ensure that you
have primary access to the best properties. You may well buy a property
that nobody else even got to see… or have your offer accepted long
before other buyers had the chance to make it to their first visit.
Many of our clients have come knocking on our door after the
frustrating experience of being beaten to a great property by a property finder
client!
You visit the best properties
As experienced buyer agents, we target the right information about
each property, thus pursuing visits at only those properties that may
really suit your needs. Even so, your property finder will make several
visits and many more phone calls to find the best properties to show
you. When he locates a potential property, he takes digital photographs and
collects the relevant property details and descriptions, and gets this
information to you immediately, along with his recommendations and
impressions on how the property does (and doesn’t) meet your criteria.
If you are interested to see it, your property finder will schedule the follow-up
visit for you together.
You decide which properties you want to visit and when – we know
your time is valuable and we try to minimize the number of visits you
will have to make to find your ideal property. Most of our clients find
their property within 5 to 10 property visits. Far less than the dozens
or even hundreds of visits most buyers make before they finally find
something they want.
You make an offer
Once you have chosen your property, property finder can work with you
through as much or as little of the process as you choose. With our
local and professional expertise, we can be instrumental in helping you
establish the right purchase price, negotiate the best price and terms,
and navigate the myriad legal requirements. Or, if you like, you can
take over and work this process on your own.
From signing the purchase contract through the two to three months
needed to close the sale, you will gain access to our unparalleled
network of trusted partners – bilingual if needed - who provide the
services essential to the property buying process: notaries, mortgage
specialists, bankers, legal experts, and even project managers,
contractors, architects, and decorators for your renovation needs.
You settle in
Again, property finder is there to provide the assistance you need: we
can help you locate the right moving resources, renovation specialists,
even help switch utilities over to your name. We do more to help to get
you comfortably into your new home.
