It is not recommended to buy a house through Nieuw Amsterdam Huys, as we are not happy with the guidance we received as expats throughout the entire process. They misled us when we (naively) heavily relied on them to point out problems in the apartments, due diligence, assistance with bids, and obtaining the best possible deal for us. Buying a house is one of the most important financial and emotional decisions that are already stressful in the heated market. Therefore, having a good and reliable real estate agent is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. I understand that we made quite a few mistakes due to a lack of understanding in a new country and blindly trusted the realtor for everything. But I hope no one else makes the same mistake as we did.

Zou er verre van blijven als u op zoek bent naar een eerlijke, deskundige en betrouwbare aankoopmakelaar, zeker als u expat bent. Ze zullen het absolute minimum doen en uw gebrek aan kennis van de lokale markt uitbuiten om in de kortst mogelijke tijd hun hoge commissie te verdienen. Hun enige strategie is om hun klanten zo hoog mogelijk te laten bieden, ongeacht de werkelijke marktwaarde van het huis. 7 maanden geleden een appartement gekocht in Amsterdam met Joris als onze makelaar. We schrijven deze recensie nu pas, omdat we achteraf veel dingen beseften en de kennis hebben over factoren die de woningwaarde in Nederland nu beïnvloeden, en ook omdat we ze in eerste instantie het voordeel van de twijfel wilden geven. Kan zeggen dat we absoluut spijt hebben van onze beslissing om met Joris samen te werken vanwege: 1. Heeft tijdens het hele zoekproces geen enkele relevante vermelding aangeboden, noch enige vroege toegang. Erger nog, we bleven plaatsen voorstellen die duidelijk niet aan onze criteria voldeden en ver verwijderd waren van onze voorkeursgebieden. 2. Zou ons adviseren om biedingen uit te brengen op eigendommen, ondanks duidelijke problemen, en met een aanzienlijk overbod. Elk ander pand was volgens hen “erg leuk”. Merk op dat we geen haast hadden en dit vanaf het begin duidelijk hadden gemaakt. 3. Heeft niet uitgelegd hoe zij tot een suggestief bod zijn gekomen en hoe er rekening is gehouden met erfpachtstatus, energielabels, verbouwingen etc. in het geadviseerde bod. 4. Nadat we het bod hadden gewonnen, was er een duidelijke haast bij Joris om de deal te sluiten. De technische keuring stond gepland op de dag dat we vertrokken voor 2 weken vakantie, we konden er nauwelijks bij zijn, Joris was ook niet aanwezig en veel kritische zaken waren in slechte staat en werden hierdoor gemist. Dingen die ons later veel geld hebben gekost om te repareren. 5. Er werd geen onderhandeling voorgesteld of geprobeerd, zelfs niet na een technische inspectie die betrekking had op een aantal van deze kwesties. We wisten niet of dat überhaupt mogelijk was; maar goede agenten wel. 6. Slechte beoordeling van en onderzoek naar de documenten (zoals MJOP). Op het laatste moment kwam men erachter dat het VVE-reservefonds feitelijk 1/4de van het oorspronkelijk opgegeven bedrag bedroeg en niet voldoende was om aankomend gepland onderhoud en reparaties te dekken. Ik kon dit herkennen en begrijpen (hoewel een beetje laat), ondanks dat ik erg nieuw was in het land. Bewijst dat ze niet bekwaam genoeg zijn. 7. We hebben de meeste van onze zorgen onderschat met typisch verkooptaal – zorgen zoals de keerzijde van een grote VVE waarbij één sociale woningbouwvereniging de meeste appartementen bezit, en de impact ervan op de waarde/vraag van appartementen. 8. Al onze twijfels en zorgen werden bevestigd in het biedboek (nadat de verkoop was gesloten) - nauwelijks biedingen, waarbij de onze aanzienlijk hoger was dan het op één na hoogste bod en tot op heden de hoogste m2-prijs voor een soortgelijk appartement in onze buurt. Onze overmatige afhankelijkheid van een makelaar was onze schuld, we accepteren het, maar erger waren de wederom verkoopexcuses van Joris, het ergste was: "uw bod zal alleen maar leiden tot verdere prijsstijgingen op dit gebied, dus u hoeft zich geen zorgen te maken"; “Dit extra geld aan huur had je sowieso binnen de kortste keren weggegooid” en “veel biedingen komen via e-mail en telefoon binnen en komen niet in het biedboek terecht”. Dus onbewust en onbedoeld hebben we verder bijgedragen aan deze huizencrisis waar we ons helemaal niet goed bij voelen. Dit zijn echt precies het soort makelaars dat je moet vermijden en waar mensen voor waarschuwen. Ik heb deze lange en gedetailleerde recensie alleen geschreven zodat niemand deze bittere en stressvolle ervaring hoeft mee te maken bij het kopen van zijn eerste huis, zoals wij deden. Zet uw geld alstublieft op een meer competente makelaar (als dat absoluut noodzakelijk is) die de belangen van de klant voorop stelt. De meeste goede recensies voor hen op Google lijken twijfelachtig en ook voor een verkoopmakelaar, wat gezien de huizencrisis misschien wel de gemakkelijkste baan is in Amsterdam.

My partner and I are extremely satisfied with the purchasing service of NAH, and especially with real estate agent Willem van Galen-Last. Because the office is a bit smaller, we received a lot of personal attention and they were always ready to answer our questions directly. Moreover, they weren't afraid to give an honest, critical opinion, even if it wasn't in their own interest. All in all, a reliable and expert real estate agency that we have already recommended to several acquaintances!

Good realtor. Pleasant to work with.

We were lucky to work with Willem, who helped us find and buy our DREAM HOUSE :) Willem was friendly, professional, honest and so resourceful. We cannot recommend him and his services enough!

Positive experience with Joris from Nieuw Amsterdam Huys as a buyer's agent! Found an apartment within three months that met my search criteria.

The contact was pleasant and professional. Collaboration with Bas was also very pleasant. A nice realtor to work with.

Joris is a top performer, always on top of things and very precise. He's also pleasant to deal with and no-nonsense. If you, like me, think brokers are actually unnecessary, call Joris. ;-) You won't regret it!

Dishonest, disrespectful and unprofessional agency. Their business plan revolves around scamming expats. 1/5 is far too generous for them.

With Joris as my purchasing agent, I found a beautiful apartment in the Jordaan. He accompanied me to almost every viewing and was always easily accessible, even outside of working hours. His honesty, expertise, and friendly approach made the entire process very pleasant. I am incredibly happy with his help and can recommend him to everyone!

My experience with Joris from Nieuw Amsterdam Huys was extremely positive. He guided me excellently through the purchase process of my new home in Amsterdam. What I particularly appreciated was his straight-to-the-point approach: clear communication and practical solutions at every step. In addition, he was always available for questions and proactively thought along. I would recommend Joris without a doubt to anyone looking for a reliable and expert real estate agent in Amsterdam!

This broker stands for fast and clear communication. I am very satisfied and definitely recommend them.

Great. Communication, knowledge, practical, decisive problem solving. Highly recommended! I am happy to respond to questions, because as Nieuw Amsterdams Huys all real estate agents should be. Also perfect for expats, my wife was also very satisfied, reassured, and informed at a good level, not too much information but the right information. And our house was sold for the highest price ever in our apartment complex. And all that for not even such a high price. Even the cheapest of the 3 agents we consulted with. Thanks for everything Bas!

We are extremely satisfied with our experience with Nieuw Amsterdams Huys. From the first contact, the interaction was very pleasant: friendly, professional and always quick in communication. What struck us most was the transparent way of working. We were well informed about all steps in the process, a pleasant collaboration.

We are pleased with the service that Nieuw Amsterdam House provided during the sale of our beautiful apartment. We were immediately impressed by the professionalism and personal approach. Bas advised us well on the sales strategy and the right price proposal, which resulted in a quick sale of our house at a good price. The entire process went very smoothly and clearly. We were kept well informed of the progress, and we could always count on a quick response to questions. Thanks to Nieuw Amsterdam House, the sale was not only fast but also absolutely worry-free!

Willem is a friendly, authentic real estate agent: he expertly helped me and I wholeheartedly recommend him!

Smooth, fast, easy, clear and still type 59 characters while everything has already been said. Recommended

We are incredibly happy with Douwe as our buyer's agent. Because of his patience and efforts, we found a fantastic home for a very reasonable price. Many thanks to Douwe, Klaske and the rest of the team. Highly recommended!

Harm has once again proven to be a calm and yet enthusiastic reliable partner. He took a lot of care and ensured a smooth transaction that was pleasant for both buyer and seller.

We had a very pleasant sales process with Ankersmit. The entire journey from A to Z went exactly as the office had outlined. There was always collaborative thinking, an extra strap tightened where needed, and very clear communication from various employees we dealt with. We are very satisfied and recommend this office to everyone.

Very attentive, all the service you can think of, no gaps in guidance and follow-up. The hundred letter criterion is fussiness

Very good and effective approach. Pleasant communication. Thinks along with you on all fronts. I would definitely recommend Harm.

Worked very well with Ankersmit real estate agents. Fine and expert team, especially Klaske is truly a top performer, fast communication and always very helpful!

Douwe and Klaske did a great job. They understood the timing of the market and didn't rush me. They also helped with lots of administrative jobs and negotiated well with them (buyer) on my behalf. I would highly recommend Ankersmit. Thanks!

Everything went very well. Very professional

What a fantastic team. Highly involved and friendly. We couldn't wish for a better experience. Sincerely, expert and very pleasant to deal with. We really recommend Ankersmit!

Initial contact was immediately good, with a very personal approach. In addition, very knowledgeable about the subject matter with knowledge of the area and timely requests for necessary documents, so that everything went smoothly. The agent was also easy to reach for clarifications and we received quick answers or they ensured that everything was resolved!

With Ankersmit Makelaars I sold my house and it was a very pleasant (and fast) process from beginning to end. Perfect communication and tailored approach. If you are looking for an authentic boutique real estate agency, then you have come to the right place. Highly recommended!

Very pleasant experience in every aspect of the process of selling my house. Highly recommend! Good communication, proactive and personal approach.

The contact went well and they always thought along with us! Very expert and with attention for us. A big 10 for Ankersmit!

Harm van Ankersmit is a very nice real estate agent. He knows the market well, communicates clearly and is always available

The contact with the real estate agent was good, they understood what the qualities of the apartment were and knew how to properly substantiate them towards interested parties.

Smooth and quick contact, short lines of communication, clear briefing. Helpful with energy label applications and advice regarding them. Good styling guidance to achieve a good price, very satisfied.

Thom Rigter was a very skilled real estate agent who knows the Amsterdam housing market well. A very pleasant person to work with and always available.

Thom helped me with the rental of my property. His expertise, broad network combined with the speed and professional approach of his employees resulted in a pleasant and smooth process. I would gladly work together with Hollandsche Makelaardij again and can highly recommend them.

My experience with Hollandsche Makelaardij is excellent. Thom did his utmost to help me find the perfect rental property. He was professional, attentive and ensured that the entire process ran seamlessly. I can wholeheartedly recommend Hollandsche Makelaardij to anyone looking for first-class rental services.

We have worked very pleasantly together and achieved a nice sales result in a short time. What I also liked was how Benjamin took a lot of hassle out of my hands.

Our experience with Benjamin de Lieme during the sale of our apartment in Amsterdam was exceptional. Benjamin combines expertise with a personal approach that is rare in the real estate world. From the beginning, he took the time to thoroughly inform us about every step of the process, while always being available to answer questions or alleviate concerns. What truly sets Benjamin apart is his ability to not only manage the business side of the transaction professionally but also to be attentive to the emotional aspects that come with selling a home where you have lived for years. His strategic knowledge of the market ensured an optimal sales price, but it was the small, personal gestures that made the difference. For example, he received us at the handover with a birthday cake, a symbolic gesture that illustrated his attention to detail and genuine involvement. In addition, the documentation was completely in order, which ensured a transparent and hassle-free process. Benjamin’s combination of expertise, meticulousness, and empathy makes him an outstanding choice for anyone looking for a reliable real estate agent in the Amsterdam market. We would recommend him without reservation.

I would like to thank Benjamin for his support during the process of purchasing an apartment. Key highlights: -patient in explanation and help with all details for a first-time home buyer - supportive during the viewing, pointing out details that are important to pay attention to - knows the market price, can advise whether it is feasible to bid or not Always hospitable and smiling.

Toine greatly helped us with the sale of our apartment in Amsterdam! The process proceeded smoothly and Toine kept us well informed at every step. Definitely recommended.

Toine really helped us wonderfully with the sale! We were well informed and the process went smoothly!

Personal approach. Stress-free. Sold quickly. Informal consultation at times that are convenient.

Fantastic and very professional real estate agency. Toine is very experienced, truly has market insight, and has a very extensive network. He sold my apartment incredibly quickly above the asking price. I am more than satisfied and definitely recommend them.

We were very pleased with the service of Benjamin and Toine in the sale of our house in Amsterdam. We greatly appreciated their knowledge of the market, proactive communication, flexibility, and the way they looked after our needs during the transaction. They were responsive, professional, and friendly. They guided us through the process without drama and with a smile on their faces. Above all, we were satisfied with the sales conditions.

Perfect and yet personal. It sounds a bit contradictory but it can be done. Downsides? Oh, after such success you do have to move. And even if it's to your dream house, it still is moving. I forgive them wholeheartedly.

Benjamin expertly and thoroughly helped us with the sale of my house. The team at Boomsma & Bruinsma is very accessible, involved, and fulfills agreed appointments. Reliable and good professionals in the challenging Amsterdam housing market. Thank you all!

Thanks to Toine, I was able to buy my fantastic apartment in Amsterdam 9 years ago, and once again thanks to Toine, I sold it for a crazy price (in a very uncertain market). Toine was recommended to us by friends and he has more than lived up to his great reputation. He has everything you look for in a real estate agent: the knowledge, the network, the social skills, and the spot-on advice. He knows when to go all out, but is also able to be realistic when you need to ease off. Thanks to Toine's advice, we sold our house better than we ever dared to dream. I would recommend Toine and Boomsma & Bruinsma real estate agents to everyone.

Very professional agency. I had the privilege of being assisted by agent Benjamin and he was just great. Always quick to respond, extremely professional and well prepared on all details of all houses I wanted to view. He makes time for you despite a busy schedule. He is extremely honest and objective. He really wants to help you find the right house for the right price. You can see that this agency works well because they are driven by passion and truly love their work.

Benjamin de Lieme is a fantastic realtor. He always responds quickly and ensures that you sell your house without any problems. We thought the entire process would cause us a lot of stress, but thanks to Benjamin, it all went really smoothly. If we ever want to buy or sell a house again, we will definitely return to him.

Very fast, professional service. Everything was organized well. Thanks to Steven and Kasper, the apartment was sold in less than one month.

Great good team. Excellent service and thoughtful advice. We are very happy with the process and the result. Team of Fris real estate agents Buitenveldert: well done!

10/10 service from Gordon, he helped me find a place and settle in before moving from Singapore to the Netherlands. Very responsive and detailed. Highly recommend.

Professionalism and attention, quick to respond and very helpful in every situation. Ready to advise in case of doubt or uncertainties. A special thank you to the entire Fris team.

I contacted Kasper and he carried out the intake and initial viewings due to vacation, Steven took over and sold the apartment well in September. Everything went smoothly. I can certainly recommend this team from Gris Makelaars.

The initial contact already gave a familiar feeling. The subsequent actions such as the stylist and taking photos went perfectly according to appointment. After placing the information on Funda and the communication regarding viewings, the trust was not misplaced. The viewings themselves, passing on information about bids and follow-up appointments were also excellently organized.

We had very good contact with our real estate agent. Immediate feedback from him when we had questions. I would definitely recommend Kasper from Fris Woningmakelaars Amsterdam.

Professionalism and attention, quick in responding and really helpful in every situation. Ready to advise in case of doubts or insecurities. A special thanks to the entire fris team.

As an expat and newcomer, it can be a huge challenge to navigate the Amsterdam real estate market. I was lucky that I chose Fris to help me during this journey. For future real estate-related projects, I would definitely return to them.

Great experience with Frismakelaars. Good knowledge of the local market. Sold our apartment in a short time for a good price. Thank you!

What was particularly important was the personal contact. The purchase and sale means a period of many questions and great uncertainties. Being able to rely on good personal contact is of great importance. With Kasper, that went 100% well.

Fris has been super helpful from beginning to end. They are very well connected and were able to provide assistance with technical inspevtion and valuation, along with bidding.

Incredibly well assisted by Fris real estate agent. From the agents themselves to the assistants, we were always spoken to kindly and expertly. If there were problems/obstacles during the purchase, they were very easy to reach and it was quickly addressed. We are very satisfied, and can recommend this real estate agent to everyone.

As an expat and first time buyer, venturing through the Amsterdam real estate market is extremely daunting. I was lucky to have chosen Fris to help me in this journey. I would definitely go back to them for any future real estate-related projects.

Great collaboration, good advice, skilled but with enough room for some humor now and then. Highly recommended.

I definitely recommend Fris real estate agents! The entire sales and purchase process went incredibly smoothly. They advised and guided me very well, and I always received quick answers to my questions.

Very competent and solid support on sale of the property including photography, sales process and contracts etc.
