Frequently asked questions

What is a property hunter in Paris?

A property hunter (chasseur immobilier) is a licensed professional who works exclusively for the buyer to find the ideal property. Unlike estate agents who represent sellers, a buyer's agent works solely in your interest: searching, shortlisting, visiting, analyzing, and negotiating on your behalf. Home Select's 16 property hunters have specialized in Paris and Île-de-France since 2011.

How long does it take to find an apartment in Paris?

In 2026, the Parisian market remains competitive with an average selling time of 49 days. The average search at Home Select takes 45 days from mandate signing to accepted offer. Timelines vary based on search criteria, budget, and market conditions in the targeted arrondissement. For comparison, an independent search in Paris typically takes 6 months or more.

What's the difference between a property hunter and an estate agent?

An estate agent holds a sales mandate: they represent the seller and aim to sell at the highest price. A property hunter holds a search mandate: they represent the buyer and aim to purchase at the best price. The two professions are complementary but their interests are opposite.

How does off-market work in Paris?

Off-market refers to properties sold without being listed on public portals (SeLoger, Bien'ici, etc.). In February 2026, off-market represents approximately 15 to 20% of transactions in the most sought-after arrondissements (6th, 7th, 8th, 16th). At Home Select, 15% of properties we find come from off-market sources. Our network of 10,000 real estate partners (agents, notaries, property managers, developers) allows us to receive over 100 off-market properties daily.

Does Home Select operate outside Paris?

Yes. Beyond Paris's 20 arrondissements, our property hunters cover 46 municipalities in Île-de-France, primarily in Hauts-de-Seine (92), Val-de-Marne (94), Seine-Saint-Denis (93), and Yvelines (78). Neuilly, Boulogne, Levallois, Vincennes, and Saint-Germain-en-Laye are among our most requested areas.

Can I use Home Select from abroad?

Absolutely. Around 30% of our clients are expatriates or international investors. Our property hunters are experienced in remote collaboration: video calls, filmed viewings, and notarized powers of attorney. We have multilingual hunters (English, Spanish, Italian, Persian) to assist non-French-speaking clients.
