Why choose a home finder ?

One of our home finders in New York will take care of your search.

Reliability of listings
Your hunter is there to select the goods, he visits them, alone, with you in person, or with you by video. And above all, he knows how to rely on reliable business partners who only present him with quality goods.
A pen icon
Market access
Your hunter can offer you his own goods, he also has access to all the offers published on the market, and even to quite a few off market offers
A pen icon
Scam risk
At Remoters, we no longer count the number of French people who have signed a rental contract abroad, without understanding it. Some unscrupulous sellers take advantage of this to insert conditions that are disadvantageous for the tenant. This cannot happen when the contract is reviewed by our hunter.

Access to local prices
Quand vous cherchez seul, environ 85% du temps est consacré aux recherches, et 15% aux visites. Avec un chasseur, vous ne faites que les visites
A pen icon
Application accepted
In areas where homeowners have plenty of candidates to choose from, they rarely choose foreigners first. Your hunter will use his influence (and his mastery of the language) to put your case before others.

Your property hunter in New York

The New York real estate market is one of the most competitive in the world. Between high broker fees, 40x rent income requirements and the need for an American guarantor, finding housing from abroad is a real challenge. Our French-speaking hunters based in NYC know the local market codes.

📊 The real estate market à New York

New York experiences extreme rental tension, particularly in Manhattan and popular Brooklyn neighborhoods. Landlords require income 40x monthly rent or a guarantor with 80x income. Good apartments go in 24-48 hours. Average timelines to find from abroad are 6 to 12 weeks without support.

Thanks to Amelia, our family found a house in the Porto region, 8 minutes from the company where I work. It was not easy because we had the constraints of a big dog. Professionalism and availability were there throughout the process.

Sarah has found a shared room for our son who is going to study in Sweden. The most incredible thing is that this was done in 24 hours, in a tense rental market! Some will say it's a fluke but it's not. Sarah listened to our research, immediately contacted her network and made us a proposal the same day, a proposal that we definitively validated the next day after a video visit. Sarah was very responsive, very professional and really nice. She has all our gratitude for this tailor-made service.
