I had a very positive experience with settlesweet.com . Like many other expats I did not have a clue on how to match all legal requirements and collect all necessary documents in time, especially in pre-Christmas time. All this was quick and effectively done by Settlesweet. I was lucky to have my registration and apartment ready right before the lockdown and cannot imagine what I would do if I did it myself. Relying on Settlesweet saved me a lot.

Every and each team member at Settlesweet were super helpful, very professional and sweet. I had to move to Paris from Spain and I was stressed about finding the right apartment, thanks to Settlesweet it was easier, they did all the apartments visits for me and sent detailed information, they were available for me on the phone and on the app it was a great experience, since they were there from beginning to end!!! In the end I got the apartment exactly how and where I wanted it!!! I highly recommend Settlesweet and will be grateful forever for their help and support 😍

I can highly recommend Settlesweet! I was so happy to get accepted for my apartment today, after being in Paris just 1 week :) They are a really valuable support for me. Especially in regards to the admin tasks.

When I moved to Paris my HR got me in touch with Settlesweet which definitely made things way easier!! They make your "dossier" for you which is super handy especially if you don't really know how it works in France and then they organise your visits for you too! Super handy!!

Uh, I remember going through this when my husband and I moved here and both of us had very well paying jobs and appropriate papers. It still felt impossible to find a place.
We worked with Guillaume Seiler at Settlesweet and it made our lives infinitely easier. It was actually the HR woman at the company we worked for who recommended Settlesweet. I would suggest Settlesweet to your company HR / Recruiting as well as to any other companies you know about that relocate candidates. Good luck!

A real struggle that I had to live twice actually ...
Luckily in the second one I've done it with Settlesweet, and everything was easier.

Kenneth Schlenker, 👋🏽 great topic.
I definitely had this problem moving from SF, starting at Alan, and not speaking any French. US citizen. It's definitely the rules about kicking a tenant out that make this hard + lack of supply.
- Had to start with Airbnb, which isn't sustainable
- Did an agency, but they charged loads of frees and only have short-term arrangements
- Signed up for every housing site, alerts, emailed/messaged in French
- Dropbox linked to be quick and have friends call, but once they found out I was from the US they just said "sorry, it's taken quickly"
- Of the ones, that I did see, they were really skeptical (asking for employer verification, boss verification, having my colleague vouch for me, GrantMe)
I did find success with Settlesweet and so did another colleague at Alan. The biggest thing was they found places, set up visits, and negotiated everything in French for me. It was like a housing EA. I was shocked and thought it was a scam, but they get paid from (actionlogement.fr/financement-mobilite) that relocators get eligible for and their incentives are aligned with renter (for once).

I also had a great experience with Settlesweet! They helped me find an apartment within 10 days, which is a miracle here in Paris!!
Would highly recommend.

I was moving to Lyon and need to find an apartment. Settlesweet was very supportive, reactivity and professional from the beginning till the end where I found my apartment in Lyon. Thank you Settlesweet Team, I fully recommend their services if you are looking to relocate to anywhere in France.

Settlesweet was an amazing experience, they were extremely helpful and responsive the whole time while also maintaining professional standards. Settlesweet was extremely attentive to my needs and gave me lots of time to better understand them, and for that I am grateful. I would definitely recommend Settlesweet to anyone who is considering using it in the future.

I agree! Settlesweet was a game changer. Every Parisian that I talk with is shocked to hear me say that finding an apartment was EASY!
As a New Yorker, I thought I would be plenty prepared to handle a tough housing market, but I really don't know how I would have managed without Settlesweet.
They were extremely responsive, listened to my needs, set up appointments, helped with the paperwork, and even sent a translator with me to visit the apartments.
Even after I signed the agreement for my apartment, they also helped connect me with the right places to set up my utilities and internet.
I would highly recommend!!

I have to give Settlesweet kudos here, they definitely helped our US->Paris relocation go...sweetly.
It's truly a mind-bending experience to go from such a renter-favoring market (the US) to a market where you feel like you're auditioning for the lead in a film. 😂 Combined with some of the famous oddities of the French renting/banking ecosystem (you need to have an address to get utilities to get a bank account to get a home to have an address at) and the general enthusiasm that seems to exist here for overwrought bureaucracy, Paris is *hard* to move to. Thankfully, it's worth it once it's over!
My colleagues were amazed that we were able to find a place to live before we arrived and get moved in so quickly after we landed, so all the credit to Mathieu Brun-Picard and team.
Personally, I'd love to see some changes in rental laws that help to normalize/standardize how renters rent, such as some limits on what can be asked in a dossier and avoiding some of the "we need to meet you" / local guarantor requirements that are fraught with potential discrimination effects. The process feels arbitrary and capricious; we definitely had our share of WTF moments along the way.

Totally agree with you! Settlesweet supported us on everything! We had to move from Berlin to Paris in less then a month, with a 3 months old baby. They literally did everything for us! Research, dossier, appointments, activation of electricity and internet... also the day of the move our fly was in late and they did take care of the house check and key handover ❤️ Our account was Charles and he was always available and super nice! I don’t think we could made it alone

I would definitely recommend connecting with Settlesweet. I was fortunate enough that my work place hired them for me when I first moved to Paris. They were super fast and diligent and I managed to find my apartment in less than 2 weeks. Not only that, they helped me with signing up with utilities and internet as well to help get me settled in my new home.
As an expat that just moved to Paris last summer, I basically spoke zero French and knew nothing of the living situation and its process in Paris. Also, they helped answered any cultural questions I may have had about the city. Looking back, I would have been very lost and stressed out trying to figuring out how to start without any prior background.
If you need more information, please contact Guillaume Seiler. He was a great help for me and I'm sure he will be for incoming expats as well.

We really appreciated Settlesweet’s help moving to France. Clio found an apartment that we absolutely love and everyone who went on apartment visits with us was helpful in facilitating conversations with the landlords and sharing advice on deciding whether to apply.
My experience with Settlesweet throughout my move to Paris was amazing. My Home Matcher Dani was super helpful, dedicated, and responsive the whole time. She took care of the house search, visit scheduling, and applications. She also guided me through all the steps I needed to take before moving. Virgine and Stéphanie accompanied me on viewings, facilitating conversations with agents and sharing insightful advice on apartments, neighborhoods, and life in Paris. I absolutely recommend Settlesweet, especially if you are moving to Paris from abroad and don't speak French.

I have had a lot of help from Settlesweet :) They really take care of everything from A-Z, doing all the hunting for the listings, contacting the agents for appointments, and everything else you need. They even took the time to liase with my company for the necessary documents needed for my dossier! The team is amazing and I highly recommend them!

...It was a great experience to find a flat advised by Settlesweet 😎 ...From the beginning they offered us all the necessary information in record time, also always willing to answer our questions and flexibility to adapt to our schedule. Thanks to our HomeMatcher who has understood from the beginning the vision of our new apartment 🙌😃

I can also attest for Settlesweet here! I honestly think I'd still be looking for an apartment if it wasn't for their help.

Settlesweet has been of great help. I had to find a new home in Paris and they provided a lot of option with thorough inspections and report. Clio has been really great in providing assistance and answering to all my questions.
Searching for a home in Paris in expat is beyond challenging and time consuming, especially if you do not speak fluent French. Settlesweet helped me in my apartment, search, viewings and everything else while I was out of the country. I worked with Alicia and she was excellent, very attentive and patient with my needs until we found something that works for me. I highly recommend their service to anyone looking to resettle in Paris. They are experts at what they do, save yourself a lot of trouble.

Really great experience!! Worked with Charles and Alicia and they were so incredible, helpful, and responsive. Found my dream apartment for a great deal, everything went smoothly. Highly recommend, especially those moving to Paris from abroad
Settlesweet were so helpful with my search. Matt was always available and understanding in my demands for the accommodation and Virginie which went with me for viewing is such a nice person. She asked all questions for me, helped with translations and talked on my behalf during the viewing. I recommend every expat moving to Paris to do it with Settlesweet, you have no idea how complicate it is to get the place here in Paris until you start looking :D They will help you to find it without stress and much faster. I wish you luck with the search

I can't recommend Settlesweet highly enough. In some cases you can get their services paid for, covered by a government grant. We weren't eligible so we paid out of pocket and it was worth every Euro (2200 Euros). Settlesweet takes care of the entire process of finding an apartment in Paris. They send you listings, accompany you to the viewings, built your portfolio to make you appealing to landlords, apply to apartments on your behalf, guide you in signing the contract, help you set up utilities, internet etc. We managed to move into an apartment under 2 weeks after landing in Paris (we only started looking once we arrived). And we LOVE the apartment we found.

Finding an apartment in Paris is definitely not as easy as going for a walk. There is a lot of research to do, people to contact, paperwork to do. Thanks to Settlesweet all this has been very smooth and easy. They listened to my needs, supported me and find a really good solution for me, in less than a month. I really appreciated all the help that they gave me even in the choice and application for internet, electricity etc. Thank you so much to my sweet home matcher Michelle, Virginie, and Lou. I definitely recommend this service !!!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Settlesweet. Organizing an international move over the holidays was never going to be the easiest experience, but Callum (my home matcher) and team made sure I had everything I needed to be a great candidate for an apartment. They walked me through the process, made sure I was comfortable with every step, and helped manage my expectations while looking for the best apartment we could. From the first call going over how everything worked until I had the keys in my hand, Settlesweet was there all the way and made the most stressful part of the move the easiest to deal with.

What an incredible service this is. We moved from another country without all of the regular paperwork French people have. All of the process of finding apartment was done remotely. Our Home Matcher Margot was super attentive, responsible, and proactive. She was on top of everything. This service definitely exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier. The viewing and apartment inspection was done by SettleSweet employees as well, and the reports we got were more detailed than I could have asked for myself, down to the smallest marks on walls and the weather/light situation inside the apartment, with videos and pictures to accompany. We successfully secured a lovely apartment in another country without even visiting the place. I could not be happier. P.S. They also help to connect you with a service that sets up all of the utilities!

I loved how Settlesweet helped me to find my new home. I am surprised at how quickly they understood what I was looking for and which aspects, even tiny, would make me like or dislike a place. As well, I loved how they managed all my applications to the appartments, so I could focus on my new job rather than getting stressed on finding where to live. Also, they were really quick, we found my new home in less than two weeks. I really recommend Settlesweet if you're moving and need someone to help you to find your new sweet home.

I have had a great experience with Settlesweet. They have accompanied me through my search of a flat in Paris for over three months and were always professional in their approach. They approach to flat search is really innovative and their platform is easy to use. They also propose to visit flat in your stead when you are busy and provide detailed videos. It was a stress free experience and I strongly recommend their service. Especially Natalie and Clio who tirelessly looked and called agencies to have the right information.
