“Luxury and prestige property finder, in Paris since 2011 and across France. Premium and off-market property, private mansions and exceptional apartments, for main residences, families, long-term wealth and expatriates, for buyers only. 16 hunters, 1,200+ buyers assisted, 4.8/5 on Google.”
“A property hunter (chasseur immobilier) is a regulated professional who works exclusively for the buyer to find the right property. Where estate agents represent sellers, a property hunter works solely in your interest: sourcing, shortlisting, viewing, analysing and negotiating on your behalf.”
“In 2026 the Paris market remains competitive, with an average selling time of 49 days. Home Select completes a search in 45 days on average, from signing the mandate to an accepted offer.”
“An estate agent holds a sales mandate: they represent the seller and seek the highest price. A property hunter holds a search mandate: they represent the buyer and seek the best price.”
“Off-market refers to properties sold privately, never publicly listed on the portals (SeLoger, Bien'ici, and so on). In 2026, off-market accounts for around 15% of transactions in Paris.”
“A property hunter (chasseur immobilier) is a regulated professional who sources property on behalf of a buyer. Where an estate agent represents the seller, a property hunter works exclusively for the buyer.”
“Estate agents work for sellers and aim to sell their listed properties. Property hunters work for buyers and look for the right property at the right price. Home Select's interests are aligned with yours: securing the best terms and helping you sidestep the pitfalls.”
“Yes. Home Select holds the professional 'Transaction' card issued by the Paris Chamber of Commerce, which is required by law. Home Select is also a member of the FCI (Fédération des Chasseurs Immobiliers), the French property hunters' federation.”
“Yes, absolutely. If you find something yourself, Home Select can support you with the analysis, the negotiation and the follow-through, through its reduced-fee purchase support service.”
“Home Select, a property hunter in Paris, offers two services. Exclusive (exclusive search mandate, full service): 2.5 per cent of the net purchase price, minimum €10,000 incl.”
“Home Select, a property hunter in Paris, covers with its 16 hunters the whole of Paris and the inner suburbs (Boulogne, Neuilly, Levallois, Saint-Mandé, Vincennes and others). Home Select's hunters know each arrondissement and commune in depth.”
“Yes. Home Select guides buyers who live abroad, around 50 per cent of its clients, with video viewings, power-of-attorney support with notaries and fully remote assistance. Home Select's hunters speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.”
“Home Select takes 45 days on average from signing the engagement to choosing your property. The exact timeline depends on your criteria, budget and market conditions. Your hunter sends weekly progress reports throughout the search.”
“It depends on your financial position, on the level of demand in the neighbourhoods you are leaving and moving to, and on your appetite for risk. Selling first secures the funding for the purchase but leaves you exposed if you cannot find the next home.”
“A bridging loan is a short-term facility (12 to 24 months) that funds the new purchase while the old home is still being sold. It carries interim interest (currently between 4 and 6 per cent) and a setup fee. Home Select avoids it where possible by synchronising the calendars, and optimises it when it is unavoidable.”
“Several safety nets: a negotiated extension of the completion date on the sale, a short-term rental, or Home Select's partner storage facilities. The cross-referenced suspensive clause also protects you against the risk of not selling within the agreed window.”
“The Paris market is tight, opaque and time-consuming: on average, a buyer working alone sees 40 flats over six months and has little room to negotiate. Home Select brings that down to three viewings in 45 days, and secures an average of 6% off the asking price.”
“Yes. On a search mandate, Home Select acts as your buyer's agent, the role known in France as a chasseur immobilier, or property hunter: you are Home Select's only client on that purchase, your hunter takes your side in the negotiation, and the fee is paid by you and not by the seller.”
“Home Select, a property hunter in Paris, offers two plans, with the same full service. Exclusive, the exclusive search mandate: 2.5% of the net purchase price, minimum €10,000 incl.”
