ECHT Makelaars & Taxateurs

Nice contact with the real estate agent, but also regularly with the phone operator. Our house was quickly on the market and sold quickly. Very nice.

Despite sales in a quiet period, everything went smoothly and effortlessly. Their stylist advised to really clean up for the photos and viewings. That was a bit of a struggle, but the result was worth it. I would choose this real estate agent again.

Laurens and his team helped us a lot, we found our ideal home in just 2 weeks of starting our agreement

Ze zijn zeer efficiënt in het plannen van meerdere bezoeken, ze hebben een snelle timing op nieuwe huizen op de markt. Beide makelaars waren zeer professioneel, hebben me goed ingeschat over de marktprijs en hebben goed beoordeeld de staat van het huis wat is bevestigd door een technische inspectie en wonen in het gekochte huis daarna. Het proces was zeer snel, binnen 3 weken heb ik mijn huidige huis gevonden en de prijs/kwaliteit verhouding was geweldig! Ik zou het met hen herhalen voor toekomstige aankopen. …

The contact was good and went smoothly, especially in the beginning it was well prepared with a clear report.

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.

Laurens and Petra; thank you again!!!

Amazing professionals. Excellent and clear communication. Laurens was incredibly helpful and provided his expertise throughout the entire process, from house hunting to making an offer. His advice was crucial, especially for someone like me who is an expat 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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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!

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!
