Introduce
us your society?
Blue Dream Home Hunter was created to answer a real
need in the bay of St Tropez and more particularly
Ste Maxime. With over 100 real estate
professionals, it is difficult for a potential
buyer to know whom to contact but especially to
have necessary time for that.
Having his head office in Sainte-Maxime, the
Society intervenes first and foremost on this
village but can also assure researches in all the
bay of St Tropez up to Monaco.
What are your activities?
The activity of home hunter is the main activity of
BLUE DREAM HOME HUNTER, but we can also suggest
extra services such as : have estimates established
by local craftsman, have your property maintained
(interior of the house, swimming pool,
garden
) carry out the paperwork
management
What is a home hunter ?
The Home Hunter is going to represent the buyer, by
mean of a search mandate, and scan the estate
market for him, to find the property which best
matches his requirements.
After a blow-by-blow questionnaire, we will draw up
his search criteria and launch our searches. After
selecting real estate announcements and visiting
properties for him, we will report back on each
viewing by mail, fax or telephone. If one of our
preselection suits him, we will take an appointment
and assist him through the purchase process, legal
and financial paperwork, till you sign the
authentical deed before your notary.
You are a young firm of home Hunter, how goes your
first year of activity ?
Starting active communication for only two months
(launching of the Internet site, creation of
flyers), we lack detachment to answer this
question.
Have you plans of extension in other
cities?
The bay of St Tropez is enough for the moment, and
we believe that it is the knowledge of this
marketplace which conditions our credibility and
our effectiveness.
What are the trumps of your firm faced with
competition?
The main trump is to be innovative, because it is a
new concept which is not developed on a local level
yet.
And most of all, to be originally from this area
allows us to have a good knowledge of the
marketplace, his particularities and to have a
local relational network.
How do you see home hunter's job today, do you
think it evolved ?
It is a job in full development which really
evolved, notably by the existence of programs of
television which contribute to promote this
activity to the general public and who gives him
legitimacy.
It is often more then just à simple research
and we know find a lot of secondary services.
Did you push the limits of your job by helping
family to install in your region?
In our stadium of existence no but it is part of
our objectives.
What are these services?
Rather classical services after buying a property,
such as renovation, maintenance, administrative
management but also more additional linked to the
installation of a not resident buyer in an unknown
environment (help to move, administrative services,
guide of the exits
)
What your city has more than an other city to
attract the newcomers ?
I think that it is useless to introduce
Sainte-Maxime, the bay of Saint-Tropez and the
French Riviera: Sea, Sun
and the pleasure of
living in a very human ladder.
Is the price of the market in question?
Everything really has an expense, the price per
square metre is quite expensive but it is an
investment.
The quality of life is it an argument?
It joins the previous question and we can note an
influx of new comers attracted by this quality of
life and the softness of climate, while being at
three hours of a big city as Lyon or at 4 hours in
TGV from Paris.
What are the good districts of the city to
invest?
In our region all district are good to invest and
the main problem is that there are more buyers than
sellers!
Is it the good moment for buying? Is it
necessary to wait?
It is for few months that the market becomes
stable. With a medium increase from 10 to 15 % a
year, it would seem that prices are maintaining at
the end of this year.
Do you belong to a national sign, a network of
frankness, labour union?
We are member of the National Confederation of Real
Estate (Fédération Nationale de
lImmobilier), first French organization of
the professionals of real estate.
To make a good property hunter, what is needed,
a good knowledge of the property market? A good
address book?
The good knowledge of the real estate market and
the seriousness of our activity should make that
will be inscribed in the good address books and
open these last to us.
Being originate from the Region, we have a complete
knowledge of the bay of Saint-Tropez and we have a
relational network; that makes a good home
hunter.
How can we recognize a good property
hunter?
A good property hunter is the one who has a lot of
empathy and who will find the ideal property that
suits perfectly the buyer, while this one
didnt even think of that type of product.
How much does it costs to call a hunter? to use
your services?
Complying with Hoguet Law, fees shall be payable
only if our mission is successful, upon signature
of the title deed with Notary. No file or report
cost will been included in the bill, even if your
project fails.
The amount of the fees is set upon signature of the
search mandate and is mentioned in writing in the
aforesaid mandate. Two cases are to be
considered :
* The property has been found through a real estate
agent : you owe us nothing, the fees, payable by
the Vendor (unless otherwise agreed upon), will be
shared out among the agent acting on behalf of the
Vendor and ourselves.
* The property has been found straight from a
private individual : The amount of the fees will
depend on the purchase cost 4 to
6%).
What is the medium delay to find a
property?
For a classical request it is necessary to count
between one and three months.
For an expat who wants a property for a final
return, when shall he contact you?
Earlier possible will be the best and reasonably
five months before (count two-three research months
and two months to sign the deed with the
Notary)
Title: define yourself in two lines ?
You have no time to spare? All ours will be
dedicated to your search. You are miles away? There
we are for you, we will act on your behalf on the
