Hele goede, professionele ervaring om met Ed samen te werken als verkoop makelaar. Hij is betrouwbaar en gepassioneerd in zijn vak en werkt met zeer goede derden partijen samen. Highly recommended.

Ed helps you super from beginning to end throughout the sales process, takes all the time for you and is above all expert. A unique combination in a world of cowboys. Besides Ed, I have personally handled other cases with 2 different real estate agents, and he stands out head and shoulders above them in every conceivable area. I would recommend Ed to everyone who wants to sell their house!

The contact was quick and easy, always reachable even in the evenings and weekends, which is very nice. Very expert!

Ed has proven to be invaluable during the purchase of my home. He accompanied me to every viewing, was always fully prepared and always ready to think along about the process. Ultimately, I purchased a home with which I am completely satisfied, something that would never have been possible in this way without the help of Kouwen Real Estate. Throughout the entire process, I felt that the most important thing was to find a home that fully met my wishes...

We can't recommend Ed enough. He is a fantastic realtor. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly and worked tirelessly to help us over the finish line. We felt that we could fully trust Ed. He always had our best interests at heart, which isn’t always easy. His technical knowledge was invaluable during our search, as was his eye for detail. We felt protected and safe in Ed's hands and knew he would guide us in making the right decisions, without influencing our judgment. He fulfilled all of our wishes, even when they weren't easy, and supported us through this very emotional process. His positive attitude made viewings enjoyable, as did his good sense of humor! He was incredibly generous with his time, never gave us the feeling that we were being rushed and always showed understanding for how important this process was to us. I would also like to thank Tersa, who it was a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a realtor, there is no one better than Ed! We can’t thank him enough for his help in finding our first apartment in Amsterdam.

Ed helped me with finding and buying an apartment, and is nothing but friendly and professional. He responds quickly and expertly to all my questions, both during and outside of office hours. He always takes the time to discuss everything, from moisture in bathrooms to neighborhoods, from ground rent to different types of brickwork, and you can tell he has a passion for his field. He makes sure that you are not pushed into making a decision or chased, and ensures that you're satisfied with your purchase and guides you through all the necessary processes. Tersa was also very helpful and sent a constant stream of suggestions for apartments to view. I found that more often good, because I gave her more feedback, even though I couldn't exactly say what I liked or didn't like about an apartment. The house I ultimately bought was also recommended by her.

Very happy with Ed's help during our purchase but also the sale of our home! 🏡 …

Ed was always ready for us! Very nice and quick contact. We would definitely recommend Ed to other sellers/buyers.

Ed was our rock: reliable, involved and always available. His knowledge of houses and the market is impressive, and he acted quickly and clearly. He thought along with every step, making us feel supported throughout the entire process. Tersa made searching for a new home much easier. With her sharp insight and personal approach, she knew exactly what we were looking for—often even better than ourselves! She is thorough, knows the market, and ensured that we immediately…

We highly recommend Kouwen Real Estate, Ed and his team supported us every step of the way. We are very happy to have found a new home, it was comforting to have the support of a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and experienced professional. This is a person that is passionate about what he does!

Contact with our purchasing broker went very well. Easily accessible and always quick and clear answers. Active in helping to search, where ultimately a very suitable home was found. Super happy with Ed. Indy and Gina

The buyer/seller, who is fortunate enough to engage this broker, will notice that he excels in friendliness, expertise, and extensive construction knowledge. He proved to be a good negotiator for us.

Ed recently helped us buy a house in Haarlem. We had such a wonderful experience working with him and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for expert support and guidance when buying a house. Ed's knowledge and attention to detail is second to none; he spotted things we are sure other makelaars would not have noticed/pointed out. He always gave us an honest opinion of each house we saw but without attempting to sway our decision. Ed was always available to us a…

This man is more than a real estate agent, Ed is a top performer who knows what he's talking about and is also a good listener and is indeed easily accessible. No 9 to 5 real estate agent. We are grateful for what he has done for us. A recommendation if you want to sell or buy a house. Thanks again Ed for everything. Greetings Wendy and Michael

Ed has helped me find and buy an apartment, and has been nothing but friendly and professional. He responds to any query quickly and with great expertise, inside or outside of office hours. He always takes the time to discuss anything from moisture in bathrooms to the surrounding neighbourhood, from ground lease (erfpacht) to different types of brickwork, and you can tell he has a passion for his field of work. He is careful not to push you to make any decision or rush you, and …

We cannot recommend Ed enough. He is the most fantastic agent. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and kind and worked tirelessly to get us across the finish line. We felt like we could trust Ed entirely. He always had our best interest at heart which is not easy to find. His technical knowledge was invaluable during our search, as was his attention to detail. We felt protected and safe in Ed’s hands and knew he would guide us in making the right decisions whilst ensu...

Expert and very professional.

As first-time homebuyers, Kouwen Real Estate has been indispensable in the purchase of our home. During this search, we learned an awful lot from Ed's knowledge. The Kouwen Real Estate team has a personal approach and truly thought along with us in this process. Due to Ed's advice, we went through the purchasing process with a feeling of confidence.

Af en toe kom je een meester in zijn vak tegen, en Ed is er zo één. Vanaf het begin zagen we hoe deskundig hij is en hoe geduldig hij de tijd neemt om dingen aan ons uit te leggen. Hij gaf ons een realistisch beeld van de markt en hoe we onze verwachtingen daarop konden afstemmen. Er was veel wederzijds vertrouwen en we zagen hoe behendig hij de onderhandelingen voerde. Hij was erg goed in het inschatten van mensen en situaties en stelde altijd een strategische en redelijke aanpak voor. Zijn communicatie was altijd beleefd, snel en nauwkeurig, en we hadden altijd het gevoel dat we op hem konden rekenen. Twee punten sprongen er voor ons uit: - Hij heeft een oprechte passie voor gebouwen en ziet alle kleine details die gemakkelijk over het hoofd gezien kunnen worden. - Hij is oprecht in zijn wens om mensen te helpen. Ed werd ons van harte aanbevolen door goede vrienden en nu kunnen wij dat met trots ook doen.

The team The Dutch Houses is extremely professional. Strengths (1) very good insight into the local housing market and living environment (2) very good guidance: the entire (rental) process is carefully followed; from advice, taking interior photos, viewings, screening tenants, drafting contracts and handover to the tenants (3) a tailor-made service with short communication lines. In short: very satisfied with the team of Gonda and I wholeheartedly recommend The Dutch Houses!

We are very pleased with the approach and service of Dutch Houses during the sale of our house. The real estate agency is very expert and works professionally. This was visible in fulfilling all agreements made, in giving extra advice to have the property ready for sale, in tightly (timely) informing us of the status and feedback on our questions. We felt understood and respected. We certainly recommend Dutch Houses as a real estate agent.

Since 2020 I have been renting out my property. At that time, I had several conversations with real estate agents. I chose The Dutch Houses because they had the most knowledge of the local market. This proved to be correct. I have rented out my property four times through Dutch Houses. That always went quickly, which meant I had no/little vacancy. The guidance from Gonda and her team is professional, expert, and adequate. In addition, the personal contact is pleasant and connecting. If I were to rent out again, my choice would again be The Dutch Houses.

Gonda and her team are extremely efficient and professional, they think along and ahead. Partly due to the exceptional network they have, our house was sold in a flash. We would recommend Dutch houses to everyone.

The team at Dutch Houses was very creative in tailoring their approach to potential buyers during the sale of our house. They always treated those interested with a lot of patience. We are very satisfied with their support.

Professional team, but also warm and friendly in communication. Great collaboration. And sold our house very quickly!

Gonda and her team at Dutch Houses excellently helped us with both renting and later selling our house in Bergen. With empathy, expertise, and dedication, they fantastically assisted us.

I have always been very well assisted, both for the rental and sale of my house in Bergen. The approach is personal with quick feedback. Good communication was very important to me because I live abroad and The Dutch Houses arranged things well for me. They are a small but very passionate team with a positive and result-oriented appearance.

The Dutch Houses looks not at stones but at people. Very special. An excellent realtor!

Gonda went above and beyond. She acted professionally with a human touch, responded quickly, and provided exceptional service. Highly recommended from the bottom of my heart!

A very professional organization that focuses on achieving the best results for its customers! Moreover, it is a very pleasant team to work with!

Very nice realtor with patience for their clients, they helped me enormously with selling my first home :)

From the very beginning to the end, excellent guidance and good advice. Ultimately sold after only six viewings, and both buyer and seller look back with pleasure on the attention and guidance of The Dutch Houses. Just a little different, just a little better but above all very personal.

Nice, team. Good cooperation and pleasant to deal with. Worked hard to find our "dream house". 👍 …

Very well assisted. Listens attentively, nice people, the search is certainly going to be successful...👌👌👌…

Op basis van een zeer goed trackrecord qua verkopen in de directe omgeving van onze woning, de korte lijnen en persoonlijk contact (ook buiten de normale kantoortijden) en de reële benadering van de mogelijkheden voor onze specifieke woning in de duinstreek gekozen voor Tineke en Pascal van Duynstreek - NVM Makelaar Bergen in Exclusief Wonen.

Wat een verademing deze makelaar, we zaten vanaf dag één duidelijk in hetzelfde team. Zonder poespas, zeer flexibel en als ik naar het kantoor belde werd er al opgenomen met Hoi Kim! Er is het hele traject zo fijn met ons meegedacht. Na anderhalf jaar bij een andere makelaar ons huis te koop hebben gehad was deze keer na drie weken de verkoop rond. Wij zijn totaal ontzorgd en zeer tevreden over de communicatie. Absolute aanrader!

Wij zijn echt onwijs blij met Duynstreek! Vanaf het eerste contact zijn we supergoed begeleid en ondersteund. Altijd meedenkend, duidelijk en vooral: heel goed bereikbaar. Geen vraag was te veel en we voelden ons continu serieus genomen. Dit heeft voor ons echt het verschil gemaakt. Absolute aanrader!

De dienstverlening is professioneel en zorgvuldig, met veel persoonlijke aandacht gedurende het hele traject. Geen standaardverhaal, maar maatwerk en betrokkenheid. Absoluut een aanrader voor wie op zoek is naar een betrouwbare en kundige makelaar waar je nog echt klant bent.

Always helpful and serious attention for every interested party. Tineke and Pascal are the perfect partners for selling your (exclusive) home!

Contact with Tineke and Pascal was extremely pleasant and professional. Because they run their real estate agency as a married couple, there are short lines of communication, great involvement, and they are always available. Plenty of time is taken for every viewing. We recommend everyone to choose Duynstreek Makelaars. A solid 10.

We are very pleased with the way of working by Tineke van Duynstreek Makelaars in Bergen. Friendly, knowledgeable and result-oriented, where both the intended goal of sellers but also the interest of the purchasing party, is not lost sight of. Tineke was very willing to assist us, as selling parties and unhindered by any experience in the housing market, with advice and action. Hats off !!!

Broker Pascal neatly fulfills the bingo card of prejudices that people have about brokers. Just a little too friendly, just a little too arrogant and condescending when he doesn't get his way, in short, a terrible attitude. We wanted to make an appointment to view a house on Korfwaterweg in Petten. A house with an asking price of over 1.3 million euros. Preferably on Saturday if that was possible. And yes, how nice, that was possible but only at 10 am ‘‘s morning. That suited Pascal best because then he could nicely combine the appointment with other viewers on the same day. I did understand that, but 10 am wasn't possible for us. ‘Can’t you leave a little earlier?’ asked Pascal somewhat elevated. No, unfortunately not, but no problem for us, then I will check our agenda to see if we can view together at another time and I will get back to you later on that. Pascal suddenly seemed to want to schedule an appointment with us in his agenda so asked me for our details. Phone number, of course. Email address, agreed. No problem. But also our current postcode and house number. Sorry, what are the postcode and house number needed for? Immediately the atmosphere changed, according to Pascal no one had any problems providing those details and why would I not give them, what did I have to hide? Then Pascal started a condescending sermon in which he told me that he deals in houses in the exclusive segment where his clients have expensive art on the wall. He likes to know who he is showing around. I understand that perfectly well, but that still doesn't give him the right to expect, even demand, that I provide him with our current postcode and house number in a condescending tone. A few minutes after our conversation, I called Pascal back and told him that the phone call had not pleased me at all and that we are moving on. Pascal reminded me of a car salesman a few years ago. That good man had a new model electric car for sale and when asking for a test drive he sneered that test drives were only for customers. He assessed my income and financial position based on his prejudice about young people, just as broker Pascal also wanted to assess our position, among other things, based on our current postcode and house number. Perhaps it is normal for Pascal that potential buyers completely bend to the wishes of the selling broker, but today he had the wrong person. I don’t need to buy his offer, nor do I need to accept his attitude. Also, I don't believe I ever knickered with Pascal, the friendly behavior with the use of my first name in every sentence can also be omitted. The sellers of this property have missed a potential buyer and bidder today, purely due to the attitude of their broker. Update 26-06-2024; Broker Pascal seems to find it chic to emphasize my last name in his response. It shows that discretion is alien to Pascal, discretion is something you would expect in the exclusive segment. @Pascal, don't worry, I’m not bothered by it, perhaps your potential clients or customers are. The hole you have dug is only getting deeper. Update 19-06-2025; the review removed and reposted because Google (rightly) believes that the bullying reaction of broker Pascal could not.

Tineke and Pascal are fine real estate agents in Bergen, understand the business well, and are pleasant to deal with. They helped us excellently with the sale of our house in Bergen. They think along with you and we are happy with their approach during the process. Duynstreek Makelaars, definitely recommended.

Today I had a pleasant viewing of a property in Bergen with Pascal van Aalst from Duynstreek Makelaars. You immediately noticed that this realtor has a professional attitude; he was well informed about all the information regarding the property and also knew a lot about the area. He took plenty of time for us and was very pleasant to deal with. Immediately a good feeling about Duynstreek, a real recommendation if you are going to sell your house.

A great realtor duo who helped us expertly with the sale of our house. Pascal and Tineke are friendly people and very skilled in their field. If we need a buying or selling realtor in the future, we will definitely return to them. Thanks!

Fantastic collaboration, pleasant contact and expertise - that's what you can expect from Tineke and Pascal as experienced real estate agents. Our house was sold within a week! Unbelievable. :) I would recommend Duynstreek Makelaars to everyone!

Duynstreek real estate agents is run by Pascal and Tineke, two driven professionals who work with passion and great involvement throughout the entire sales process. Emerging obstacles are handled flexibly and adequately, and communication is excellent, see the strength of a small company. We experienced the sales process with them as particularly pleasant, which is why we wholeheartedly recommend Duynstreek real estate agents.

It's a small office with good personal service. Viewings are always conducted by the same person who knows the house well. Always easily accessible both by phone and via WhatsApp. No 9:00 to 5:00 mentality.

A great real estate agent. Keeps appointments on time. Very professional and knowledgeable. Knows what they're talking about. They think along with you and are happy with the entire project. We couldn't have wished for a better real estate agent in this (stress)ful process.

Nice people!

Tineke and Pascal are not only very skilled agents, but also super nice people to work with. They truly think about every detail, give very professional advice, are open to input from others and have a very large and good network. Our house was sold quickly by them for a beautiful price. The purchasing party is also very pleased with the involved and expert collaboration with Duynstreek. And now together looking for a new purchase!

I came into contact with this brokerage duo for a photoshoot for Duynstreek Makelaars. During the preparation and the shoot, I noticed that Pascal and Tineke are very experienced and have extensive knowledge of the exclusive real estate market in Bergen (NH) and surrounding areas. Pascal and Tineke are also enthusiastic, professional, and very pleasant to work with. I therefore found the collaboration very enjoyable. Looking for an experienced broker with a lot of market knowledge and specifically the luxury segment in Bergen (NH)? Then I think Duynstreek Makelaars is a great choice!
