All brokers in Alkmaar

Impersonal, not customer-friendly for the buyer, I would advise everyone against going into business with this company, you don't even get a personal broker.

I found it fantastic in one word to do the viewing myself and arrange everything around it, real estate agents' land. No regrets. Could always ask anything and was called back neatly. Thanks real estate agents' land for the good cooperation, I would do it again.

Very bad service, avoid if possible. I had a very disappointing experience with Makelaarsland's purchase service. Despite having paid €600 for a package of five home inspections, the support was extremely poor and felt rushed, as if their main goal was to push me into a purchase quickly so they wouldn’t have to do extra work. They consistently avoided in-depth document checks, probably because it would take more time. In one case, I asked them for advice on a property and they estimated it at €250,000. That same house was eventually sold for €280,000 – a huge difference that shows how inaccurate and unhelpful their input was. Worse still, they advised me to consider a second property without mentioning that the correct legal documentation was not yet available. No responsible broker would advise a buyer to proceed under those circumstances. When I expressed my concerns about their service, they simply replied that they were not present at the viewings – and that’s exactly the problem. They take no responsibility and offer no meaningful guidance. It felt like I paid for a service that was never really delivered. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Makelaarsland. If you are looking for real support and professional advice during your home buying process, I strongly advise you to look elsewhere.

We sold the house through Makelaarsland and I can recommend it to everyone. You keep thousands of euros in costs in your pocket and they arrange everything perfectly for you, besides the viewings. Buyers think it's great that you, as the owner of the house, sell your house yourself. It’s all very simple and Makelaarsland helps you further with everything in the background. I say do it :)

Very annoying that you don't get the 06 number from the relevant broker and that you have to call Makelaarsland yourself every time. This way, you always end up speaking to a secretary and are called back at other times. Very frustrating when you urgently need advice or have an important question.

Makelaarsland truly delivers on its promise, especially in a time when most homes are only for sale briefly. A regular real estate agent is then far too expensive. A professional realtor comes by for the valuation, and a photographer also measures your home. You maintain contact with your fixed realtor / contact person. The only thing you have to do yourself is writing the Funda text, scheduling the viewings, and conducting the viewings themselves. Which works perfectly due to the personal contact, and you know your own home best. Everything works perfectly via their website. And all of this for a fixed rate. Very satisfied, and moreover, our house was sold within a few days. Highly recommended!

We are super happy that we chose Makelaarsland for the sale of our house. We had good contact with our real estate agent Maaike who thought along with us, empathized with us and was businesslike and expert when needed. The sale went smoothly under her guidance, and we are very satisfied with the selling price and the further arrangements that were made. Maaike (Makelaarsland) thank you so much. Elisabeth & Nan

lots of convenience, few costs! the perfect realtor.

I highly recommend Makelaarsland. They are accurate, helpful, very friendly and they keep all appointments.

For the 2nd time we sold our house through Makelaarsland. Really great!

Just sold my apartment in Amsterdam with Makelaarsland. What a relief. Clear and transparent service. No expensive talk. I chose the option with viewings because I am often abroad. Very satisfied with realtor Maaike, Makelaarsland and the selling price.

Makelaarsland offers the ideal combination of professional expertise and self-sufficiency by the seller. You are expertly guided through the sales process, receive good advice when needed, and remain in control yourself. If necessary, experts are at your disposal for advice and action, which we gratefully made use of when there were some bumps in the road. In short, we are very satisfied with our choice.

Beautiful online platform, easy to use. Pleasant contact and helped by Ian Rus during the sales process! In addition, it provides more flexibility (viewings possible in the evenings and weekends if you do it yourself), saved me thousands of euros in real estate agent fees, and you have more influence on your own sales strategy!

I myself was not aware of the existence of Makelaarsland, but my wife was, and she also advised me to contact Makelaarsland as a possible selling agent for the sale of my recently deceased brother's house. Their starting point is that the work of a real estate agent is more or less the same regardless of the sales value of the house, and besides the most ambitious sales plan compared to the other contacted agents, they also used a (unlikely) low commission. The contact with the broker was very pleasant, no excessive fanfare but discussing all steps directly and giving instructions. We were immediately informed about viewings and the viewers' reactions to the house every time. After an initial difficult start to the sale of the house, bids piled up towards the end of 2024. Thanks to the skillful maneuvering of the broker, the house was ultimately sold above the asking price. I am happy with my choice for Makelaarsland and can recommend it to everyone.

I found working with Frank from Makelaarsland very pleasant. Frank is skilled, thinks along and gives good advice.

Leygraaf is our real estate agent and we are very satisfied; the sales process was handled professionally, which resulted in a smooth sale.

The employee of Leygraaf real estate agents was a friendly and helpful person. He could inform us well, was always easily accessible and contacted us quickly when needed. It gave us a feeling of familiarity.

The first contact with the agent from Leygraaf was excellent: professional, honest and involved. Unfortunately, this quickly disappeared when she fell ill and someone else took over the sale without consultation. There was no strategy, no creativity and especially no effort. Plenty of viewings, but the agent couldn't turn negative points into positives, so there were no bids. At my request to look at other options, such as styling, new photos or a fresh approach, the only advice given was to significantly lower the price. No initiative, no drive. When I indicated that I would be contacting other agents, that was ‘fine’ – and that says it all. The owner still tried to rectify the situation, but trust was lost. There was also no leniency in the settlement. Ultimately, I switched to another agent and I should have done that much sooner.

Good advice about selling price, good estimation of local supply and demand. Nice personal guidance.

I definitely recommend Leygraaf! I sold my apartment through Leygraaf real estate agents at the beginning of this year! Very happy with the service and guidance/tips from our sales broker Eline. They really took the time to schedule viewings and listened carefully to our wishes. Selling a house already brings enough administrative chaos with it, so it's very nice that they think along and you can go to them with all your questions. Super thanks!

Leygraaf real estate agents exceeded all my expectations with their excellent service from A to Z. The accessibility of the team was fantastic and their expert but above all honest advice was invaluable. No question was too much and they were always ready to guide me through the process of buying and selling my home. The real estate agency kept their promises without surprises or hidden costs. I can wholeheartedly recommend Leygraaf real estate agents to anyone looking for a reliable and professional partner in the purchase and/or sale of a house in and around Alkmaar!

Poor service. They don't value appointments.

Top real estate agents, I had good contact with Romy and Elisa!

Very kind man, good to communicate with, and he always has an answer to your question, so a good realtor.

Excellent guidance and responds quickly. Thinks along with you and is clear about expectations. Highly recommended.

The real estate agent at De Leygraaf kept me well informed via email messages and WhatsApp. The agent was open to questions, which resulted in good communication. Excellent collaboration and the documents were compiled and delivered in a super clear manner.

The contact was great. Good consultation together. Just a small minus point, don't use Chat Jpt. That text is terrible. Otherwise, excellent.

Everything went as wished. Good guidance and appointments were kept. This broker knows the ropes and is recommendable.

Top good guidance and quick sale. Much attention paid to promote the sale. Had 12 viewings in an afternoon. Well arranged

This broker has a lot of knowledge of the local market, which resulted in a beautiful sale with a yield higher than we expected (but expected by the broker). A broker from outside the city we approached estimated it completely differently.

Our real estate agent is very friendly and knowledgeable. Clear communication! Had good guidance during the sale of our house. Top!

great, open an honest one. 1

Extremely well handled from beginning to end. Our realtor was very knowledgeable, a pleasure to deal with, honest and decisive. The internal team responded quickly and pleasantly. I recommend this realtor to everyone!

Buying and selling done by Sylvia van Assema. Received very good help there. I hope not to move for the time being, but would definitely have her do it again.

Good sales plan with clear explanation and information. Communication was excellent, and the sale went smoothly and was completed well. Happy with it.

We were very well assisted. Because we had never bought a house before, we were taken through the process step by step. Our purchasing agent was Sylvia van Assema and she warned us several times at the right moment, which is why we now have the house we were looking for.

Sylvia van Assema was our real estate agent and we experienced the collaboration as very pleasant! She helped us well with the search and purchase process for our first home. She is very friendly, helpful, honest and she certainly knows what she's doing. Thank you for everything Sylvia!

The sale of our apartment in Bergen was excellently guided from start to finish by Sylvia van Assema and completed quickly and successfully. Nothing but praise for her friendliness and dedication, a true professional!

Deniece van Zijp mediated in the buying and selling of our house. The collaboration went very smoothly and she tried to get the best possible outcome. Deniece, thank you so much and I will recommend you and your office to everyone! Thank you. Frank and Sita Brinkkemper

We bought and sold an apartment with KRK-real estate agents Dunja Antenbrink and Tim Hesp. Both processes went smoothly, quickly, and with excellent communication. Both real estate agents have very good market knowledge and use all available tools to keep the organization, experience, and price optimal. We are very happy with our new home!

We sold our house through Sylvia. It was already decided that we would hire her if we ever were to sell our house. We met her during a viewing at a house, and that was a pleasant experience! Sylvia is enthusiastic, driven, positive, knows what she's talking about, and most importantly; she is honest! You don’t often come across someone like that during the home search… Sylvia, you are fantastic! 👍 Thanks!

Even 1 star is too much for KRK Makelaars Alkmaar, if you want to stress yourself out about your mortgage, you should definitely choose KRK Alkmaar. Every day we had to submit documents and then another day before the notary everything could be arranged!

When selling the parental home, the initial contact with Mr. Jan de Jager was very pleasant. After the appraisal, an asking price was proposed and motivated. Within a short time, the apartment was listed on Funda and soon viewings were booked for the first interested parties. If it had been up to the real estate agent, the bidding process would have closed within one week and after only 4 viewings. This seemed to me as if there was haste behind it. Something like “selling a house within one week”. As BUYER, I would like some time to arrange financing and as SELLER I would like more time to perhaps get even more viewers. During a discussion with Jan, I had to trust his experience. The apartment was sold above the asking price, which of course I am happy about, but it went differently than I had imagined and expected. Further handling proceeded completely according to my wishes. Still thank you, Jan!

Great service from Sander and the team in selling my house in IJburg

We sold our house through KRK and are more than satisfied with Sylvia and her colleagues. There was very pleasant and close contact, everything went smoothly. We definitely recommend this real estate agent!

I was helped excellently by the employees of Kuijs Reinder Kakes Alkmaar. They also properly take into account corona measures. These are special times but the employee guided me excellently and as a result I have an excellent feeling about this company.

We bought a house that KRK had in its file. The property had so many defects that all our feelings have completely turned upside down. We didn't expect Sylvia from KRK to sell us a pig in a poke. A lot of hassle and a lot of complaining to get your way. It could have been very different according to them as well. A bad judgment thereof.

Good collaboration regarding determining the selling price and sales strategy, excellent guidance during the sales process, and a friendly approach to the customer. We are very satisfied!

Perfectly guided from start to finish. Very clear communication and always helpful throughout the entire process. Also excellent guidance during the completion of the sale of our house. We are very satisfied and would definitely recommend this real estate agent to everyone!

Fantastic realtor. Did an incredible amount for us. Incredibly pleasant, friendly, open and honest. Not only the realtor themselves, but also the employees at the office.

Very dominant and arrogant club people. They rent out homes but have no idea what is and isn't allowed. Asking questions about private matters that don't add up and want forms and documentation that cannot be deviated from. Even if requested documents are not available and equivalent documents are available, they won't budge. In this case, it concerns someone with a disability.

We don't outsource the management here, they would ensure we could start with the window frames final result nothing. Just nothing... mold in your house that is supposedly my own fault because I have a dog, a man, and a dryer. Wouw....an open window for ventilation apparently works less well than a sliding window ... they were so uninformed that they didn't even know that all apartments had their own gas connection and you pay for that. Oh, and they decide to shorten their working hours due to staff shortages. Yes, explain it to the customer but then also don't deliver invoices any less.... scammers

At the time of the pre-inspection in July, the house was old and very old, so I was told that I only had to do general cleaning. And on August 5th, the final inspection took place. A different employee than the one who came for the pre-inspection came and grabbed the pod and said the house was dirty. The deposit was 2400 euros. He kept refusing to return the deposit and called the cleaning company and gave him a receipt of 1,000 euros and said that he would deduct the amount and return it. I didn't use the refrigerator or oven at all, but I was even charged cleaning costs for the refrigerator. I cleaned the house even cleaner than when I moved in, but I called a cleaning company and had it cleaned. Waiting to get even 1400 euros, but still not returning it. Only people who don't want to receive a deposit should use this company. Not worthy of a single star. Worst property management ever.

A company that doesn't account for humanity. Van der Borden owns an apartment in our complex. This apartment is being renovated. Initially, we received a neat letter describing the work and timeline. However, the timeline is completely off. Don’t get me wrong, renovations need to happen, and noise pollution coming with it is perfectly logical. However, when they say there will be 2 days of hard work and then two weeks later you're still being disturbed in your home, some communication would be appropriate. We have contacted the company multiple times. We are greeted politely with the statement that they will address it with the contractor and communicate this to us. This doesn’t happen! Despite promises that we would receive a call back that same day. Not even after contacting the manager (who was so happy with our feedback...). I gave birth to a beautiful daughter three weeks ago. I can say that my postpartum period has really been ruined by these circumstances, and I blame Van der Borden for it. With a company that treats people this way, I would absolutely never do business. Unprofessional!

(No) purchase/sale experiences with this agency yet. It's remarkable that this agency still schedules viewings for a property for sale, while the seller is already in negotiation with interested parties who have even submitted proposals!! This is of course her right, but still... I don't know if this is common practice at reputable NVM agencies, but it seems questionable.

Very well assisted in finding a suitable home for me and my partner, had a lot of contact with Jan Jaap van der Borden, We've now been in the house for over a month and all contacts have gone as wished. Recommended in the North Holland area!

Terrible company. They do everything they can to withhold your deposit. You return the house in better condition than you received it, but they still find a reason to withhold your deposit. I am far from the only one with this experience!

Based on previous good experiences with real estate agency Van der Borden Vastgoed, I recently chose to commission them to sell my property. They took up this assignment in a particularly proactive, (cost)efficient manner and with good communication, in a way that really relieved me of stress. Perhaps helped by the market, but certainly also due to a good assessment of the target group and interested parties, my house was sold very quickly, at a good price and without me having to do anything myself. The subsequent settlement, up to and including the transfer, was also carried out neatly and efficiently by Van der Borden. In short: I can strongly recommend this company.

Bad reviews are quickly shared, good ones often forgotten. Recently rented a house through Van Der Borden Makelaars. I was very well assisted, with a personal approach and understanding for situations. Should I look for a house to buy or rent in the future, I will definitely first contact this real estate agent. What I can also advise for someone who is currently in the market.

Great help from Van der Borden! We were looking for a rental property and thanks to Van der Borden, we received the keys to a wonderful house within 6 weeks. The real estate agents really think along with you and are easily accessible. Definitely recommended!

We have engaged Van der Borden real estate agency several times for the sale of a house. I am extremely satisfied with the way communication goes, they always keep their appointments and compliments to the chosen photographer. A company where personal attention and thinking together are happily paramount. Martijn, thank you very much for everything! Kind regards, Family Jansen

Very bad to work for! Don't do it then. We received an order to deliver sand now they can no longer find the invoice and the phone is slammed down when we call about the invoice.

The name ‘Vastgoed professionals’ perfectly suits the manner and way of working of VanderBorden real estate agents. In the sales process of our apartment, work was done very quickly and thoughtfully from the start. This was very pleasant as a seller and thus we were able to jointly take steps to reach a sale. The entire handling was clear and straightforward and everyone within the office communicated openly and well. In short, congratulations and we will certainly make use of the possibility to recommend these ‘Vastgoed professionals’ to other potential sellers.

Very well assisted in finding a suitable home for me, had a lot of contact with Jan Jaap van der Borden. Very professional and pleasant assistance. Recommended in the North Holland area.

I would like to thank Pieter and his team for all the guidance they have given me again with the purchase and sale of my house. In addition to the professional guidance, the personal approach is highly valued. In a thrilling time, in which much needs to be arranged and you need to say goodbye to a place where you feel emotionally connected, that personal approach is a warm bath, support and everything I needed. Thank you for this. Kisses, Marianne

Thanks to the pleasant collaboration with various employees, we are very satisfied with the progress of the sale of the apartment.

The real estate agent knows his profession very well and reads up on everything thoroughly. So really top! I recommend this real estate agent to everyone.

A broker who knows the market and does his utmost for his clients. 14 years ago he rented out our house for 3 years and this year he sold our house for us. Clear and fast communication. In short, you've come to the right place here!

Last May we sold our house in the Netherlands and thanks to this realtor we are now enjoying life in Portugal. Due to the fantastic sale of our house, we achieved a good result which allowed us to make a beautiful start in Portugal. A clear story from the beginning and good contact, even after the completion of the sale of our house in the Netherlands and we were already in Portugal. Nothing but praise for this realtor!

This broker knows how to highlight the strong points of the property and show the various possibilities of the object. The positivity and enthusiasm of the broker are a pleasant contribution in this regard. Service, guidance, and communication are excellent. Multiple ideas and options are shared on a regular basis. It should also not go unmentioned that the property was previously given to another broker for mediation for 9 months without result, and that De Gratis Verkoopmakelaars managed to sell the property within 2 months.

Only praise! Very pleasant realtor. Fine communication, in a language that the consumer understands. We are very satisfied with the service of this realtor. Where other parties let it go, De Gratis Verkoopmakelaars provided excellent service. We will always recommend De Gratis Verkoopmakelaars! Erwin: Thanks again for supporting and aftercare during the purchase of our dream house! Greetings Stephan and Mieke

A fine real estate agent with a large network and also always accessible. We had direct good contact. He has good ideas, knowledge, advice and insights. We had a beautiful offer lying within no time. Thanks for your time and effort!

Highly skilled, nationwide real estate agent! He doesn't just work for his own turnover, but especially in the interest of the client. And that’s nice! Erwin thinks along, communicates quickly (even evenings/weekends), provides valuable information and guides the entire (sales) process from A to Z. This brokerage is open and honest; they use a transparent online bidding procedure which means you, as both buyer and seller, are constantly informed and remain so. Much fairer than with most real estate agents... I highly recommend Erwin!

I would choose Erwin from De Gratis Makelaars again and again! From the beginning, everything was very clear, all my (many) questions were answered quickly and I always felt supported and welcome during the process. Very competent and absolutely recommendable. Thanks to the whole team!

Good service!

Our mother wanted to sell her apartment in Eindhoven and from the beginning, Erwin and Charlotte explained everything clearly. There was also an immediate connection. A few days after the photoshoot, the apartment was online and less than ten minutes later, the first request for a viewing came in. We did the viewings ourselves and always consulted with Erwin. We had one viewing day with only genuinely interested parties and within a week, the decision was made and the apartment sold. With their enthusiasm, their knowledge and good advice, we sold the apartment in no time. We literally felt taken care of. Thank you very much, class !!!!!

Great service by Lydia, pleasant realtor to work with!

Easily accessible, friendly and patient, keeps appointments, transparent working method.

Greatly assisted by this real estate agent. After 15 years from the date of my divorce, it finally succeeded in selling the house to my ex-husband. Partly due to the help of Eduard who supported me and recommended a good appraiser from Egmond aan zee, Mr. Goudriaan. Ultimately, I came out with a profit partly thanks to their help. So definitely recommend, advice is free so certainly worth making an appointment with them. Thanks gentlemen for your help greetings

Good service, friendly, professional and responsive. Good advice and an innovative approach! In short, very satisfied!

House purchased through the free real estate agent, Erwin helped me well and the contact was very accessible. I experienced this broker as very pleasant even though I find the system a bit peculiar with the bids.
