“We are thrilled with the service that we received from Emma. In fact, service seems too sterile — because we felt the care that went into our search. I don’t have any suggestions for improvement and I understand that each transaction is very different. Emma was perfect for our search. She quickly became “a friend looking for our Paris apartment. We are also extremely grateful for the continued support and guidance through the process, closing, utility transition and now renovation. We could not have asked for a better or more comforting process ”
Kimberly and Kyle, Washington, USA“We had a great experience. Emma was wonderful and patient. It was great to have a curated sample organized by yourselves for us to see and to compare against before making our decision . It was so useful to have Emma translate for us … to introduce us to reliable people, such as the notaire and banker, so that we could get our French bank account and home insurance sorted far-away from London . The process of apartment viewing was seamless and organized. t”
Geraldine and Trevor, London, UK“We simply cannot thank you enough for the hard work you put in to making our dream a reality - official Parisian home owners!”
John and Dani M, Arizona, USA"Merci beaucoup does not seem to express our thanks enough. Because of you we have found an apartment in Paris that is beyond our dreams. We are so thankful for your guidance and expertise. We hope that our Paris property remains in our family for many years, maybe even generations. Whenever we are in Paris you are welcome in our place for a toast and conversation”
Ryan and Gretchen H. Kansas, USA“Emma, you've been so incredibly kind, supportive, and calm throughout this whole process, not to mention, highly professional, extremely efficient, and so knowledgeable. And fun! This never would have happened if I hadn't had you as my guide to facilitate and oversee this process with such finesse. Thank you. I look forward to many future hang outs with you in Parist”
Nicola M, California, USA“Thank you so much for all you did to make this work out. We never could have navigated all the realty, legal, and renovation work without you!”
Carol F. and Bill K., California, USA“Thank you so much! We are really excited about the apartment. It’s so funny — we started our search looking for a renovated property in the Left Bank and chose a property in need of renovations in the 3rd arrondissement. We are so grateful we are working with Emma. Her expertise & hard work made our search extremely efficient and pleasant. We really appreciated her guidance during the search (Yes, Emma — I know you are in this email thread. I just wanted to compliment you!) Plus, her advice on our offer’s structure was superb”
Heather T. and Kent C, Virginia, USAAlthough the French property market is well regulated, the fact is that for a foreigner, it would be extremely difficult to navigate without an insider who is on your team. In less than a week, we really felt we understood the relationship between location, size, condition and price. We ended up buying the third apartment that Emma showed us – a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment needing some work, but not too much work, in our fantasy location in the Marais. We were grateful for Emma’s help in working out how much to offer, and then putting the offer and dealing with the vendor’s agent. It was terrifically exciting to get the news that our offer had been accepted. Finding and agreeing the price for a property is, of course, not the end of the process. There were then weeks of dealing with notaries, mortgage brokers, banks and insurance companies, as well as the architects and builders who will renovate our apartment. Throughout that process, too, the team was a great source of advice and referrals. This team knows their stuff – how to take care of all the little things that a foreigner would find perplexing and frustrating, from arranging the final walk-through to changing over the gas and electricity accounts and connecting the telephone and internet. When we think back on the entire process – which was actually pretty quick, less than 6 months from first contact to having the keys to our very own Paris apartment – what we remember most are the fun times of going from apartment to apartment, laughing about the bad ones and debating the merits of the good ones; the excitement of finding “the one”; and the sense of confidence that came from knowing we were in safe hands.” ”
Matt C. and Leonard V., Melbourne, Australia““Please know how very grateful I am for all the handholding , assistance, advice and referrals you have provided this past year. Without your help and guidance, I know I would never have been able to realize my dream of having an apartment in Parist”
Chris M. and Matt K., California“Emma and the Metropolitan Properties Paris team not only make finding and buying an apartment in Paris easy, but they also have an incredible network of people there, from lawyers to architects and contractors to mortgage specialists at various banks, who all work in concert to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as it can be. Most importantly, they and all of their contacts speak English, and buying through Metropolitan not only gets you an apartment, it makes you feel part of a wider family. Emma was a wonderful guide around Paris as we looked at apartments over the course of a few weeks, and she really got a good feel for who I was and what I was really looking for. There was no way I could have navigated this on my own, and the fee that MPP charges is worth every euro. Thank you!”
Tim L. New York, USAI can confirm that my very recent experience working with their team has been exemplary. The service I have received has not only been highly professional, but …Emma’s knowledge of the domestic & international sales market is very impressive, so much so that my apartment received an asking price offer within weeks of listingt”
