We bought a 2plus bdrm apt in 7th - January 2006. We also rent it out for short term rental. I loved my Real Estate agent - in fact, I put a link to his office and web site on OUR web site. He went way above and beyond what an agent needs to do - he's great. go to web site www.OurParisHome.com and then go to the tab for "Buying in Paris" - all his contact info is there. Good luck! rk
