Amsterdam House Hunting B.V.

Disappointing communication from Amsterdam House Hunting We rented a property where Amsterdam House Hunting was involved as an intermediary on behalf of the landlord. Upon check-out, €1,500 was withheld from our deposit due to alleged damage. In our opinion, this largely concerned normal wear and tear, for which a tenant is not legally liable. A representative of the real estate agent was present at both the pre-checkout and the checkout and also sent the email himself regarding the withholding. Nevertheless, the agency later withdrew with the statement that they were “not a party,” which caused confusion. When we expressed our concerns about this, we received an extremely unprofessional response from employee Jaap. His tone was passive-aggressive and downright insulting. He literally wrote: 'We do not encounter very often people who leave a house not in a good state who still find the courage to judge the way things have been handled...' The tone and approach were unnecessarily hostile and inappropriate for a professional real estate agent. This experience has caused us a lot of stress and frustration. We therefore cannot recommend Amsterdam House Hunting. Elise & Bram

We are extremely satisfied with the service provided by Amsterdam House Hunting. After a disappointing experience with another real estate agent, they intervened and we sold our house incredibly quickly. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication ensured that the entire process went smoothly and stress-free. We highly recommend their services to anyone who wants to sell their property efficiently and with great results. It was a pleasure to work with Tim, Jacqui, and Jaap!

We had a great experience with Jaap and the team. They provided excellent service from start to finish. They took care of everything, making the entire home buying process smooth and stress-free. From finding the right property to negotiating, handling the paperwork, and even providing advice after the purchase: they were there at every step. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication made all the difference. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to buy a house in Amsterdam!

Jaap is great and very professional. He helped us find our dream house, also negotiated with the seller and saved us a lot of money. Highly recommended!

Jaap is amazing! He helped my husband and me find our first house in Amsterdam, and we couldn't be happier. A friend referred him to us, and I am so glad they did. After doing a month of research and interviewing several real estate agents in Amsterdam, it was clear that Jaap was the perfect match for us. Jaap’s extensive knowledge of Amsterdam and his years of experience in the housing market were incredibly valuable. He seems to know everyone in the real estate sector, and his expertise in renovation and construction was a huge plus for us because we were open to homes that might need some work. It was a pleasure working with Jaap. He is friendly, warm, and professional. He always responded quickly to our text messages and emails and showed tremendous patience throughout the entire process. We never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. His advice about specific houses was incredibly helpful. For example, we were about to bid on an apartment, but Jaap advised against it and kept searching. We were so grateful for his honest and well-informed opinion. Ultimately, we found the perfect place for us, and I am so glad we waited. In short, Jaap made buying a house wonderful for us, and we highly recommend him to anyone who wants to buy a house in Amsterdam.

I had an exceptional experience with Amsterdam House Hunting. From start to finish, Jaap was a pleasure to work with. His dedication and commitment to finding the perfect house for me exceeded my expectations. The professionalism and expertise of the team ensured that the entire process ran smoothly and stress-free. I wholeheartedly recommend Amsterdam House Hunting to anyone looking for their dream home in Amsterdam. 100% satisfaction guaranteed!

An absolute number one real estate agency in Amsterdam. Excellent service and a hassle-free process from the first phone call. Jaap ensured that our wishes were met by showing us the best properties and locations, and by making excellent recommendations for quality contractors, kitchen suppliers and much more. A true recommendation for everyone who wants to be treated with the greatest respect and values communication, efficiency and honesty.

We used the Amsterdam House Hunting service for the purchase process of our apartment. Tim helped us through it. Thank you Tim for all your support and patiently answering all our questions, even about practical matters like VvE. We greatly appreciate the support and your attitude. Some real estate agents completely discouraged us (when we were viewing apartments) with their attitude, so we are very happy that your approach really aligned with ours. You are a great addition to the services of Ams House Hunting! Thank you!

We recently purchased a house in the Amsterdam area and were supported by Ruben from Amsterdam House Hunting. Buying a house as an expat is a demanding task, but Ruben made it very easy for us. He always responded quickly and was very helpful during all the ups and downs of the process. I can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone moving to the Netherlands from abroad.

The house hunt in Amsterdam has helped me in so many different situations, without them I would be nowhere. Jaap (one of the brokers) helped me with every step and much more! Within a month after collaborating with Amsterdam House Hunting they had found my dream house, a few weeks later I was the owner. When it came to renovations, Jaap knew exactly the people to get the job done, he even supervised the entire project while I wasn't in the Netherlands. And when I couldn't find any shelter due to the renovation, Jaap was the one who looked for accommodation for me (which isn't so easy in Amsterdam). I highly recommend house hunting in Amsterdam, I am very grateful for their services!

It's exciting and scary to buy an apartment as an expat. Luckily, Jaap managed to help me keep only the exciting part. He really understands all my needs and concerns and always offers great help. In five months, he helped me get a beautiful apartment so easily (easy for me, I know it was a lot of work for him). It felt like I just visited the apartment and said yes. Then Jaap arranged everything. He even helped me find a very good financial advisor when I really didn't have time because I had to travel a lot for my work. If I buy another house in the future, I will definitely call Jaap again.

Amsterdam House Hunting helped us with the purchase and sale of three homes. Great, friendly, expert service that we highly recommend. Thank you Jana & Jaap

You will find in Ruben an honest friend, he is very professional, skilled and experienced, but also reassuring, sincere and patient with all questions and very long conversations, and he always puts your interest first and above all... our family had the luck to work with him to find and get our new house and we are eternally grateful to him and Amsterdam House Hunting.

It was a pleasure to work with Jana from Amsterdam House Hunting. She was always very responsive, knows the market, I felt well informed and in such a short time she closed the deal for me for the best possible apartment that I could get within my budget. She always has your best interests at heart and will conduct the difficult negotiations for you when needed. Thanks again Jana!

We had a great experience with Jaap, even though he represented a seller. He acted in everyone's interest, is very fast and listens well to your wishes. Jaap has such good connections that he will advise you on everything you need, from inspecting the apartment to a good renovation team if you need it. Advisors on our side said: 'Don't trust an agent from the seller’s side', but they were completely wrong. You can really trust Jaap; he performed impossible work to get a good deal for both parties so that everyone is satisfied. We are lucky that he took care of the deal. Absolutely very professional and personal approach, so I highly recommend his services and this agency.

Ruben van der is absolutely amazing. I bought my new house and Ruben was my realtor. He is professional, so nice to work with, great communication, helpful and available when needed. I am truly lucky to have Ruben on my side; he took care of everything in every respect. Thanks also to Jana, who also made sure that everything happened very quickly and professionally. Thank you 🙏

Good office, quickly resolves problems.

There's a reason why Jaap gets almost a 5-star rating: he really is the best. We considered a similar service for expats and chose Jaap for several reasons: he has extensive knowledge of real estate in Amsterdam, the personal attention he dedicated to our search, the fact that he is remarkably open to the quirks of other people's cultures (I am Romanian and my husband is from the USA), he responds quickly, and he simply has the network to negotiate and give his name meaning when making an offer on behalf of his clients. My husband and I were very ambitious during our search and successfully found and sold our dream house within 3-4 weeks (it's amazing how much we didn’t want to rent anymore!). We sent Jaap a few apartments every morning. Jana, his assistant and trainee real estate agent, quickly arranged viewings for us. Then it was our job to make the calendars, and that worked out :) We are enormously grateful for all the help, guidance, and laughter along the way. We wholeheartedly recommend Jaap, Jana, and Amsterdam House Hunting!

We feel very happy that we collaborated with Ruben; he helped us with the purchase of our house. He is a very serious, expert and experienced professional, and always in a good mood. Thank you very much Ruben!

I had a great experience with Jaap! Highly recommended! Buying an apartment is a challenge in Amsterdam and relying on Jaap's experience, knowledge, and network can save you a lot of time and money. He genuinely cares and tries to help you find what you are looking for, even if it takes some time. He gives you his honest opinion and good advice. He is also super nice and friendly. Overall, it was great working with him. He will also be my go-to contact person in the future.

Jaap and Jana helped me find the house of my dreams in just 4 viewings. Their experience and network saved time and energy in the process and helped me make quick, realistic, and informed choices. Once the offer was accepted, Jaap's support was unparalleled! From his friendly help and renovation expertise, Jaap guided me through the entire process in just 5 weeks from my viewing. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jaap... he is now the realtor for all my house-hunting friends in Amsterdam.

Normally I don't leave reviews, but this time it just had to happen. Jaap immediately put me at ease and was very friendly. Professionally, he did his utmost to help me with my requirements. Highly recommended!

I had a great experience with Jaap. I trusted him completely from second 1 and he made the impossible happen: after 6 months of searching for a house to buy, he managed to arrange a good deal for me within 1.5 hours - and I could move in within a month! Of course, this doesn't always happen, but it is an indication of what Jaap can achieve. Even after the deal was finalized, he always responded very quickly (as if he answered the question before I even asked it), clarified various concerns, coordinated with the real estate agent, mortgage advisor, notary etc., and made sure that it was a very smooth experience for me. I think the most important thing was that he was so reassuring that everything would be alright, that I could finally let go of some stress and trust him. Jaap, thank you very much for your great help! I couldn't be happier in the new house.

We had an absolutely positive experience with Jaap! Buying a house in Amsterdam is tough, but everything went smoothly with him. He is professional and helpful and always ready to dispel all your doubts. In addition, Jaap has extensive experience and a broad network, which means you will be well assisted during the negotiation process. Thanks to his help, we not only saved a lot of money, but also our sanity! Thank you Jaap!

Highly recommend Ruben due to his knowledge, responsiveness and dedication to ensuring his clients are satisfied. We really felt lucky to have someone on our side who was so good at the game (and it is a game). Expat couple from New Zealand

Buying in Amsterdam can be a tricky challenge! Without the help of Jaap, I never would have had the chance to live in a beautiful apartment in Bos en Lommer. Jaap is such a nice person, he is very professional, he knows the market very well and has a broad network that will be very useful as soon as you start the negotiation/bidding phase. Before I got my apartment, 30 people came to visit. I never thought I would get it. Jaap excellently guided the negotiations with the real estate agent and gave me very good advice for the property but also for the paperwork with the seller and the notary. He also recommended an excellent financial advisor for my mortgage (who also did my annual tax return for a better price compared to the largest companies that offer this service for expats). I can only recommend Jaap to everyone who wants to buy an apartment/house in Amsterdam. Thank you very much, Jaap! And also for your smile :)

Jaap was an enormous support during the purchasing process, but also afterwards. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Highly skilled and service of the highest level. Easily accessible and flexible. A real recommendation.

Excellent service!
