We are expanding! Synchronized sale of a very nice 2-room apartment in Père Lachaise, Paris 11th. Signatures and moving on the same day.

I did not expect at all to find such important and irreproachable professional and human qualities by choosing Clés en Main to sell both my apartment and at the same time find the apartment of my dreams! Albane was present from the first visit to the signature and much more, and that was a very precious help!

We are very, very far from the services offered by most real estate agencies, which is why it is much more than an agency. With a perfect coordination between notary, bank and moving company since both transactions were carried out on the same day!

A huge thank you! A buyer AND seller, therefore, very happy!

My father O. was the first to call on Clés en Main, after the recommendation of mutual friends, as part of a rental investment in Boulogne. Clés en Main took care of the search, the supervision of the works and the rental operation. O. then made a second rental investment which I had the chance to take advantage of during my first years as a young worker in Paris after leaving HEC (Business School). Clés en Main found an adorable two-room apartment, dual-aspect and quiet, on Rodier Street, where I was very happy for three years. I left this apartment later for a larger one and Clés en Main then resold it in very good conditions. Finally, I just called Clés en Main for a third time for my first personal purchase in Pantin. Clés en Main accompanied me to find the apartment that met all my criteria and even more, with terrace and parking lot! A great achievement to manage to acquire this new place to live. Albane and Florence were there to secure these acquisitions. Since my parents live in Nantes and I was very busy with my work, their involvement was perfectly suited to our need for comprehensive services and tailor-made advice.

10 years ago, Albane and Florence found my dream apartment in record time while I was stalling in my search targeting a very coveted area. My family having grown, I did not hesitate to renew my confidence in them for the search of our new cocoon, house and garden, and the sale of my apartment.

I am once again delighted and amazed by their ability to combine great professionalism with exceptional listening and attention. Their support on all aspects of the project is really a great support.

From living in Batignolles in Paris, after 10 years of rent, to owning a very pretty Haussmann apartment in the center of La Garenne-Colombes. Many thanks to Clés en Main, for their support at all stages of my acquisition. It was really too difficult for me to go along this route alone. Being alone with my daughter and with a very involving job, I could not make the visits in time, and I lacked the advice and serenity to choose.

Clés en Main brought me all this.

Thanks to them, I was able to quickly find the apartment of my dreams and I was accompanied every step of the way!

I found out about Clés en Main through "word of mouth", the best advertisement, ten years ago, when I bought a pretty, classic apartment in the 15th district as a rental investment.

Living in the Province area, I was advised and guided with great competence in my choices. Clés en Main is an efficient, dynamic team that offers good advice and is always available. The contacts are personalized and the management of the rental of my apartment is remarkable: starting works, maintenance works, rentals follow-up and without delay.

I have since recommended this team to my friends, and we are now three couples in the region who are delighted with our Parisian purchases!!!

We met Albane Thiriez during a visit to a property which ultimately did not suit us. Albane's qualitative and human approach, based on trust, advice and a good relationship, made us feel more like being accompanied by a friend than followed by a real estate agent.

Subsequently, we called on her very valuable advice for the right strategy in the purchase of our new apartment and also entrusted her with the sale of our old apartment, which she was able to ensure under very advantageous conditions.

If I had another real estate transaction to carry out, I would commission Albane without hesitation.

Very eager to sell my Parisian studio apartment, having already acquired another property in Bretagne, I called on Albane of Clés en Main on the recommendation of a dear friend.

From then on, I was perfectly supported in the sale from the property appraisal to its final sale. Speed was a condition for my peace of mind in the good pursuit of my new project. Goal achieved in less than 10 days: expertise, real estate diagnoses, beautification of the apartment, photos and of course visits, negotiation and signing of the offer!

There were few but very effective visits and the property was sold very quickly. All these operations were carried out masterfully by Albane, very available and attentive.

We are so grateful to Albane and the Clés en Main team for supporting us until the completion of our real estate project. We wanted to invest in Paris and find a place to live for our daughter who is studying movie making there. Albane guided us through all the successive stages: project, financing, visits, negotiation, etc. Thank you, Albane, for your presence, your investment, your professionalism and your listening. Thanks to you, we were able to finalize this project that had been close to our hearts for years.

When we have occupations and activities, it is almost impossible to deal with real estate agencies, institutions, individuals, etc. and our eyes are not seasoned with details (electricity, roofing, neighborhood development, etc.). The acquisition implies a tear with the past and a real investment.

Clés en main is here: two girls, one from the north and one from the south open their doors to you.

1st interview: their questions are direct and moving, asked with tact, gentleness, delicacy but also seriously. Plus, the touch of humor is always there. As far as I'm concerned, it's the girl from the south, Florence, who, for a few months, had the courage to take my demands, my shocks, my changes of mind at the rate of four to five apartment visits every Monday. Truce of two weeks to temper, reset the clocks, take stock. Kudos to her! And thanks to my friends who make the word of mouth a flawless publicity. The "little" brunette is always on time! If you happen to arrive on time, you can't find her, because she is hidden behind the headrest of her car. But she spots you quickly. Then, put on your rollerblades to follow her. No need for GPS, she knows her way. After each visit, you receive, at night, or at dawn the next day, a report with the + or the -, adapted to your remarks, your requirements, your wishes. Nothing is left to chance, she hears everything.

At some point… we find it. Agreement to sell! Think again. Their relentlessness becomes obsessive: for in the eight days following this one, the globetrotters continue their hunt. They find you better. The nights bring advice. Once you’ve considered your options, you have the last word.

They negotiate remarkably, put the notaries in contact, read and reread the contract, then you sign.

But it is not finished. They advise you on what to do next: movers, contractors, etc.

In short: everything is provided by real professionals, perfect mothers, enthusiastic and super helpful. Your interests and your heart are appeased, and you can (re)start a new life.

In 2015, while looking for my first apartment to buy, I turned to Albane to help me find the Parisian 2-room apartment that would suit me and in which I would be happy. She was able to understand my needs, listen to them and support me in those somewhat stressful proceedings when we do not know what to do. In just two months, the apartment was found! I spent six wonderful years there. First alone, then we were two and finally three: in other words, the word home took on its full meaning under this roof. When the apartment became too small, I turned to Albane for the sale. Once again, she accompanied us in this new stage, by providing us with her quality network: photographer, diagnostician, notary...

The sale was made very quickly and very simply. The loop was complete.

In February 2009, we had decided to sell our large family home in the midst of a crisis and, thanks to Clés en Main, we succeeded in this mission in record time.

Indeed, their advice allowed us to do some judicious and inexpensive works to enhance the house and the garden. Their extremely precise analysis of the market also allowed for a reliable appraisal with our house sold at the appraisal price. We had several decided buyers during the negotiations, and this position of strength in the midst of the economic crisis was a really good surprise!

The visits could have been a little traumatic, but Albane organized herself so that they were well selected, targeted, and pleasant. At each visit, a clear and concise debriefing, sometimes over tea!

Clés en Main was able to find buyers who understood the spirit and soul of our house, which was very comforting for us.

In short, selling with Clés en main is a guarantee of peace of mind, total confidence received and given, with an ultra-professional quality of service. A really nice moment!

"Our challenge was to find, while still living in Barcelona, the ideal accommodation in the Paris region for our family of 5, with the following criteria:

Geograohic:

• as close as possible to Saint-Germain-en-Laye (78): we were applying to enroll the three children at the Lycée International in the Spanish section
• an acceptabl home-office commute time

Vital space:

• after years of expatriation in accommodation paid for by the employer, we appreciate the space!

Financial:

• respect our budget.

Livable as is:

• functional and without too much work to move in at the end of July and be ready for the start of the school year.

After a thorough and effective market search led by Florence and Albane, supported by email reports with detailed comments accompanied by numerous photos, not to mention the frequent telephone conversations, we were able to see the refined selection of houses and apartments in just three trips to Paris in the spring and retain the house in Pecq, sign within two months, organize the renovation works (painting) and move in at the end of July as desired.

A challenge taken up with the greatest efficiency by the Clés en Main team and with the added bonus of their constant good mood! An invaluable service when you are far away and eager to find a product that is so important for your personal balance!

I currently live in New York, and I left behind an apartment in Paris that I had just had an interior designer redecorate completely. The apartment being of high standing, I intend to return to live there.

I therefore had two goals:

• to make this apartment as profitable as possible while preserving it as good as possible
• to have a reliable agent who could ensure the rental and management of my apartment

Albane took care of doing a market study, suggesting the best approach, and evaluating the best price in relation to the rental mode chosen.

The choice was therefore:

• to put the apartment under short term managment during the summer to maximize profitability.
• to offer the apartament to expatriates for the rest of the year from september via relocation companies. Maintaining a renewable 2-year lease was indeed the good suggestion that gave me the most flexibility in terms of returning to Paris if necessary. It was concluded very quickly and under conditions that were better than I had expected. The apartment was rented to well-mannered and respectful people. Since the apartment was rented through a company, I got perfectly regular rent payments.

Albane also took care of:

• completing the furnishings to suit this type of rental.
• maintenance of the apartment.

I have therefore fulfilled my goals and have only one interlocutor on all subjects related to the management of my apartment.

In short: confidence and ease. I receive regular reports from Albane, who knows how to inform me but also takes any initiative necessary for the proper conduct of operations and the enhancement of my property.

I therefore warmly and unreservedly recommend Clés en Main!

Being only occasional tourists in Paris, my husband and I had no idea where or how to start our search for a small Parisian nest. We only had fairly limited experience of a few districts, but no experience of the real estate market or of managing the procedures for financing a property abroad.

Clés en Main took the time to understand our lifestyle and our tastes and showed us different properties and places that suited our needs in the very short time available for us.

They followed us from the sales contract and financing through the renovation of the apartment with the necessary skills on each subject, excellent communication, and very detailed follow-up. We love our pied-à-terre in the 18th! It's exactly the apartment, the neighborhood, and the atmosphere we dreamed of and Clés en Main did everything for us from a distance!

None of this would have been possible without their nuanced advice and without their network of professionals for real estate search and contractors for renovation. We recommend Clés en Main to anyone looking for something in Paris without the stress and lack of confidence or uncertainty that can spoil the joy associated with finding a "home" abroad. Clés en Main succeeds in its mission with elegance, competence, and total honesty. We couldn't be happier!

I met Albane 2 years ago, while searching for the purchase of a studio apartment. This real estate investment was aimed at seasonal rental. She was therefore able to help me establish the specifications to meet this specific objective and we drew up a list of particularly demanding criteria: the location was essential; the elevator was vital and many requirements had to be respected.

Albane had been recommended to me. Very quickly i was charmed by her acute sense of listening, her availability at any time including weekends, her dynamism, and her enthusiasm. On several occasions, she has demonstrated expertise in negotiation. This is the reason why I managed to acquire in less than 2 months, a studio apartment on Mouffetard street at a very competitive price, despite a particularly tight market.

Albane not only found the apartment that perfectly matched the criteria sought, but she advised me throughout the purchasing process: notarial deeds, work estimates, minutes of general meetings, decoration advice, etc ... and today, I can still contact her on rental-related issues.

Not only did I realize my real estate project, but above all I met someone who was quite exceptional on a human level.

I live in the United States, and I had been looking for months to buy an apartment in Paris. Without success! Traditional real estate agencies do not know how to work remotely, and I had no advice or follow-up search.

After getting in touch with Clés en Main, we immediately refined the goals of my search and the criteria of choice, and, in two months, Clés en main was able to offer me a very nice opportunity of an apartament, exactly what I was looking for, by offering me a prompt response. I closed the purchase offer in a few hours based on photos and detailed information. The trust established with the Clés en main team who perfectly understood my needs and tastes and provided valuable advice throughout my search enabled me to react quickly in my turn.

When six weeks later I visited the apartment I had just purchased, I found it to be perfectly in line with its description and my needs.

Thanks to the whole team!
