ECHT Makelaars & Taxateurs

Dealt quickly and professionally.

After contacting them, they quickly helped me with an appraisal. They are easily accessible and friendly. I was still missing some documents, which they arranged for me. Very satisfied

13-01-2025 What great service! We weren't familiar with this office beforehand; but we are very satisfied! Therefore, we definitely recommend ECHT Makelaars&Taxateurs. Genuine advice and helpful, if we were to look for a real estate agent/appraiser in the future, we would gladly contact them again! Thank you very much Laurens for your good service and expertise, kind regards 24-04-2025 We have once again experienced the great service of ECHT Makelaars&Taxateurs as a family in connection with a new assignment, the mortgage advisor in Haarlem had recommended ECHT Makelaars to us (in January) and we are also very satisfied with them for the second assignment! Laurens and Petra; thank you again!!!

When I first approached Echt, I received good and honest advice and help in finding my new home.

Very fine and expert assistance received from the team of genuine real estate agents. The first property I visited where they truly served as a purchasing agent immediately became it. Everyone in the office is very friendly and helpful, and they helped me very well with my first home purchase.

Great professionals. Excellent and clear communication. Laurens helped us excellently and used his expertise throughout the entire process, from searching for a house to making an offer. His advice was crucial, especially for an expat like me with little knowledge of the Dutch housing market.

Everything was arranged perfectly, from making the appointment, discussing the rate, friendly appraiser, and receiving the report quickly.

I had a very pleasant collaboration with Echt Makelaars, through a tip I engaged them as my purchasing broker. And during the first viewing together we immediately submitted the winning bid and were able to purchase a home. Very friendly and helpful staff who guide you well in buying your dream house.

Echt Makelaars really helped us wonderfully with the sale of our house. Very professional but also very friendly, personal and familiar. The time was taken for us, but also for the potential buyers. Overall, our first home sale was a really great experience!

Of the three brokers we had invited for a sales consultation for my mother's apartment, Laurens was best prepared and most sharply priced. His sales strategy focused on many viewings. So in that respect too, he didn't make it easy for himself. Once we had an offer, he called other interested parties to see if they would also like to make a bid. This resulted in two significantly higher bids. Throughout the entire process, my mother and I found the collaboration with Laurens and his colleagues, particularly Petra at the office, very smooth and pleasant. They clearly enjoy their work. Thank you Echt Makelaars for this good experience and a fantastic result!

Excellent real estate agent for the sale of my house, clear and transparent. Because they are not the largest office in Alkmaar, the contact is very direct and personal. Definitely recommended for people who want to sell their house or purchase a property in the Alkmaar region.

Everything went according to plan and we are very happy with our new house. We never expected that we would find a house of our dreams so quickly. Ultimately, within 3 months we were able to find something beautiful.

As an expat, I greatly appreciate the services of ECHT Real Estate Agents & Appraisers. Quick and transparent, professional approach. Thank you for your pursuit of excellence!

Very satisfied, good communication and a very clear report. Definitely recommended!

Great professionals. Excellent and clear communication. Laurens was of great help and provided his expertise during the whole process, from searching a house to making an offer. His advice was key, especially for an expat like me with little knowledge of the Dutch housing market.

As an expat I do appreciate ECHT Makelaars & Taxateurs ’s services. Prompt and transparent, professional approach. Thank you for striving for excellence!

The contact and communication went smoothly and easily. The sales strategy determined in consultation has met expectations. We are satisfied with the result.

From an informal introductory meeting in April 2024 to "Together we buy your dream home" in September! Pleasant, expert real estate agents who can act quickly and professionally, we are very satisfied!

Clear and engaged. The communication is perfectly fine and an appointment is a real appointment.

Sven van Echt Real Estate Agents is a very pleasant real estate agent, realistic, good communication and everything was great.

The real estate agent was recommended to us. After an initial contact, the further communication was very pleasant and smooth. We quickly noticed that we had engaged an experienced real estate agent. Therefore, we also entrusted them with the sale of our house.

It was really nice working together with a small real estate agency like ECHT Makelaars. The guidance was very good. All possible questions were answered almost immediately and contact was made when needed. Everyone at the real estate agency was well informed about the status of my property. Therefore, the internal communication is also good. My property was sold quickly within a period of 3 weeks.

Good advice. Keeps you well informed throughout the entire process with clear communication and is very helpful.

Clear explanation beforehand and a realistic story. Good guidance where an appointment is truly an appointment.

Celine was very friendly and always accessible. When I had questions, time was taken for this. Quickly sold our house.

No complaints, went smoothly, clear communication and looked beyond just what was necessary.

Choose a real estate agent! That's where our adventure began, and how glad we are that we had Laurens as our agent! The moment we walked into a house, my girlfriend and I didn’t know where to begin. Laurens was able to tell us within seconds of entering what was important. He accompanied us on every first viewing and ensured that everything was arranged perfectly, from A to Z. With his expertise and dedication, he made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We are incredibly grateful for his professional guidance and can wholeheartedly recommend Laurens to anyone looking for a reliable and expert real estate agent.

Very expert and pleasant guidance. The price/quality ratio is very good.

Really Realty (Makelaars) excellently sold our house for us. Not only because they have been very professional but also because the contact runs very smoothly. Quick and highly involved.

The contact went well and was easy, Laurens contacted the selling broker and checked if we were buying a cat in a bag!

The contact went very well! Laurens is honest and reliable, he responds quickly to your questions and his employees work with the same attitude, so even when he's not there you get quick and expert advice! We were happy with our choice to entrust the sale of our house to Echt! A beautiful young and enthusiastic company! Still

We have very consciously selected ECHT Makelaars for the shortlist. This was based on size and activity, including on social media. In the final phase, their advice and pricing also proved to be very competitive, after which we made the decision in their favor. And that can be said, in practice they have fully lived up to our expectations. I can wholeheartedly recommend the team of ECHT Makelaars.

Contact with the real estate agent went very well. Our real estate agent was easy to reach and they were very professional. They gave us good advice and insights into the possibilities in the current housing market. Despite the heated housing market, we placed a bid during our 2nd viewing, which was accepted after a 2nd bid (on the advice of the real estate agent), all within just 3 weeks of our search. We would definitely recommend this real estate agent.

Pleasant collaboration, expert, solution-oriented. Nonsense, Laurens approached my search objectively, informatively and honestly. A nice bonus and not unimportant: a likeable man! Thank you, also to Céline! Greetings, C.Mooijer

Pleasant and very knowledgeable, to the point. I confidently left the entire sales process with peace of mind to Echt Makelaars.

Excellent help! I worked with Laurens S. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He facilitates a lot my life in a way that even I imagined before. I worked in English all the time with them.

Very friendly and expert guidance during the sale of my house. Price/Quality ratio a 10.

There is a lot of attention given to communication with the customer. The qualitatively excellent service is therefore even better because the lines are short and information and coordination are excellent.

Super good experience! Put my mind at ease when necessary. Friendly and always reachable!

Communication with Echt Makelaars was pleasant and effective. They respond quickly and think along well. Clear in their advice and adjust to (housing) wishes if necessary to maintain a realistic picture of the current housing market. Expertise is present, and I would recommend this real estate agent for both purchase and sale.

The broker is direct, expert, no sales talk and above all clear about the status of the purchase of an object. It's the second time in a relatively short period that we do business together and I am again very satisfied.

The contact with the real estate agent went perfectly for us, Laurens and Sven both accompanied us to various homes and helped us in an expert manner. They gave us a lot of advice and asked good questions at each house we visited to the selling agents. Despite it taking a long time before we bought a house, they remained professional.

Always pleasant contact. Everything was well discussed at every step. I went through the process with confidence.

Smooth and fine, we could go to them with all our questions. We REALLY recommend brokers! Thanks Sven and team.

Reliable, accurate, market knowledge, pleasant communication, proper guidance and practical advice

Accessible, calm, no-nonsense realtor with a lot of experience. The young team is always ready for you and the neat rates are also nice. Recommended!

Laurens responds quickly. Reacts himself or forwards the question to the office. Very expert information/explanation about matters in the homes during viewings.

Nice realtor. Had great contact with Laurens. Very warm, open and honest advice. Recommended for everyone who wants to buy a house.

Pleasant to communicate with, he is a driven person who closely follows market developments and pays attention to quality, is reliable and honors agreements. You are taken care of, listens well to you and gives sincere and clear advice.

Laurens, from ECHT, helped us throughout the entire process. The communication was always easy and fast, he would have everything ready really quickly and he would come to see the properties with us and give us excellent advise. The end result for us was an amazingly beautiful house, with wide and lightly indoors and super nice outdoors and garage, and we were even able to get a great deal, which is not common at all these days. The house is elegant and neat. We are so happy wit…

Good realtor, well assisted, very satisfied with this realtor. Keeps appointments and very reliable

Very professionally assisted. Clear expertise and knowledge of the area and market, as well as experience. In addition, always very realistic with valuation and bidding advice which ensures that you don't face unexpected surprises, as well as the clear and transparent communication. Completely aligned with our wishes, standards and values.

Laurens and Celine helped us very well with the sale of our house. They ensured that the house could be put on the market quickly. They were always easily accessible for questions, always called back politely after each viewing, and Laurens gave good advice along the way. We are very satisfied with how things went. Thank you very much, Laurens and Celine!

Quick and expert help with pleasant communication

Laurens and Sven are truly two top performers, can't say otherwise! They are on top of things and keep the contact very personal which is super nice! Despite the craziness in the housing market, we found a suitable home relatively quickly and are currently living there with full satisfaction! 5 stars for these gentlemen

Both purchased and sold, and both transactions went flawlessly. Communication, accessibility, expertise, and service were simply excellent.

It's now almost a year ago that we started the search for a beautiful starter home in Alkmaar in this crazy housing market, and meanwhile we are actually writing this review from our new house! We are very happy that after our first introductory meeting with Laurens we decided to work with him. In addition to always having had very pleasant contact with him and being able to turn to him with all our questions, Laurens understands how important it is to react quickly in this housing market. He is always easy to reach and immediately takes action, which means that we have been able to view quite a few houses together. What's unique about Laurens’ approach is that he always makes sure that he or his colleague Sven is present at the viewing. That's very nice because they ask the right questions and afterwards you can directly coordinate with each other how to proceed. After bidding on several nice houses, we were successful in July! Even after acceptance of the bid, Laurens remains available for all questions and stands ready for you until the transfer. We are very happy and satisfied with the entire process, and would absolutely recommend Echt Makelaars & Taxateurs to home seekers!

Laurens helped us both with the sale of our old house and the valuation of our new-build property. The collaboration was very pleasant, where Laurens really thought along with us. His knowledge of the housing market greatly contributed to a successful sale. If you are looking for a hard-working, honest and reliable real estate agent, then you have come to the right place with ECHT makelaars.

Top service at Echt Makelaars & Taxateurs. Laurens helped us find our dream home in this overheated market. He is very knowledgeable, professional and works decisively. He takes your personal wishes seriously, but is also transparent when it's better to stop bidding. Absolutely not a realtor who wants to sell quickly, and truly takes the time for you. Should we ever want to sell our house, we are sure to find him!

Real Estate Agents work quickly and accurately. Sven and Laurens have insight into the current housing market and handled the appraisal smoothly.

My girlfriend and I viewed a property that is for sale through ECHT real estate agents. We were able to view the property at our leisure and received answers to all of our questions. What a relief compared to other real estate agents. Good feeling!

Requested an appraisal via ECHT Appraisers & Assessors. Communication was friendly and fast. After the appointment, we received the report within one working day by email. Nice service!

Very well assisted, enthusiastic gentlemen with knowledge of homes

I have requested an appraisal, Laurens came by and neatly explained what he was going to do. Within a few days we had the appraisal report in the email.

We needed an appraisal on short notice, they were able to quickly and expertly handle this for us and delivered it neatly within the agreed timeframe.

Laurens engaged as a buyer's agent and yes, within a short time a good offer was made and accepted! All subsequent steps are supervised excellently and professionally. Truly an agent who takes an extra step for you!

Valuation report ordered. Very professional. Received the report within three working days by email. Truly first class. Thank you

Laurens performed an appraisal for us in Alkmaar, we quickly received the appraisal report and made an appointment on short notice, hopefully the house will sell just as quickly. Thank you!

Very well assisted. Quick processing and very friendly and competent staff
