Anne-Fleur helped me incredibly well. The process was quick and smooth, which removes a lot of stress during the purchase of a house.

Anne Fleur and Toine excellently guided the sale of my house. I am very happy with the result. They are always easily accessible, have insight, a pleasant communication style, and are very skilled. Highly recommended for both selling and buying a home.

Ben is a very good realtor; he has shown that it's possible to buy a house in Amsterdam, in a nice location.

Toine is a great realtor! For the second time already, he has found the ideal house for me. With much enthusiasm and a very good critical eye, he perfectly guides buying and selling.

Toine Kwakman (Boomsma en Bruinsma Makelaars) is the best realtor who can fulfill your wishes. He has fantastic timing, communicates clearly and pleasantly. He really makes a difference when needed. Buying and selling are in very good hands with him and his colleague Anne-Fleur Minderhoud.

Very pleasant realtor. Takes all the time for various viewings. Gives information and advice where needed. And negotiates effectively on the price.

We have worked very pleasantly together and achieved a nice sales result in a short time. What I also liked was how Benjamin took a lot of hassle out of my hands.

Our experience with Benjamin de Lieme during the sale of our apartment in Amsterdam was exceptional. Benjamin combines expertise with a personal approach that is rare in the real estate world. From the beginning, he took the time to thoroughly inform us about every step of the process, while always being available to answer questions or alleviate concerns. What truly sets Benjamin apart is his ability to not only manage the business side of the transaction professionally but also to be attentive to the emotional aspects that come with selling a home where you have lived for years. His strategic knowledge of the market ensured an optimal sales price, but it was the small, personal gestures that made the difference. For example, he received us at the handover with a birthday cake, a symbolic gesture that illustrated his attention to detail and genuine involvement. In addition, the documentation was completely in order, which ensured a transparent and hassle-free process. Benjamin’s combination of expertise, meticulousness, and empathy makes him an outstanding choice for anyone looking for a reliable real estate agent in the Amsterdam market. We would recommend him without reservation.

I would like to thank Benjamin for his support during the process of purchasing an apartment. Key highlights: -patient in explanation and help with all details for a first-time home buyer - supportive during the viewing, pointing out details that are important to pay attention to - knows the market price, can advise whether it is feasible to bid or not Always hospitable and smiling.

Toine greatly helped us with the sale of our apartment in Amsterdam! The process proceeded smoothly and Toine kept us well informed at every step. Definitely recommended.

Fantastic and very professional real estate agency. Toine is very experienced, truly has market insight, and has a very extensive network. He sold my apartment incredibly quickly above the asking price. I am more than satisfied and definitely recommend them.

We were very pleased with the service of Benjamin and Toine in the sale of our house in Amsterdam. We greatly appreciated their knowledge of the market, proactive communication, flexibility, and the way they looked after our needs during the transaction. They were responsive, professional, and friendly. They guided us through the process without drama and with a smile on their faces. Above all, we were satisfied with the sales conditions.

Perfect and yet personal. It sounds a bit contradictory but it can be done. Downsides? Oh, after such success you do have to move. And even if it's to your dream house, it still is moving. I forgive them wholeheartedly.

Benjamin expertly and thoroughly helped us with the sale of my house. The team at Boomsma & Bruinsma is very accessible, involved, and fulfills agreed appointments. Reliable and good professionals in the challenging Amsterdam housing market. Thank you all!

Thanks to Toine, I was able to buy my fantastic apartment in Amsterdam 9 years ago, and once again thanks to Toine, I sold it for a crazy price (in a very uncertain market). Toine was recommended to us by friends and he has more than lived up to his great reputation. He has everything you look for in a real estate agent: the knowledge, the network, the social skills, and the spot-on advice. He knows when to go all out, but is also able to be realistic when you need to ease off. Thanks to Toine's advice, we sold our house better than we ever dared to dream. I would recommend Toine and Boomsma & Bruinsma real estate agents to everyone.

We sold our house on Koninginneweg with Toine Kwakman from Boomsma & Bruinsma as the real estate agent. When it turned out that almost simultaneously three ground floor houses next to each other were put up for sale, we decided to take the house off the market and a month later, when the other two houses had been sold, put it back on the market. That proved to be a golden move. With thanks to Toine. As always, the process was completely in order, the sale went smoothly, the house was sold within a few days, we got a good price. We can wholeheartedly recommend Toine. Always accessible, very good advice. Don't get caught up in the current madness! Very motivated negotiation for the purchase price. Also helpful and good tips when signing the purchase contract. Especially with regard to ground lease! Boomsma & Bruinsma Real Estate Agents, highly recommended!

I would like to thank Benjamin for his support during the journey of apartment purchase. Key highlights : - patient in explanation and helping with all details for the first time buyer of property - supportive during the viewing, pointing on details which are important to be mindful - knows the market price, can advise whether it is feasible to bid or no Always welcoming and smiling.

Toine really helped us wonderfully with the sale! We were well informed and the process went smoothly!

Personal approach. Stress-free. Sold quickly. Informal consultation at times that are convenient.

very clear and nice realtor, I was excellently helped! can definitely recommend! very skilled and helpful

Toine has sold a house to us and sold a house for us and each time I cannot fault his expertise, experience, and intuition!

Perfect and yet personal. It sounds a bit contradictory but it can be done. Downsides? Oh, after such success you do have to move. And even if it's to your dream house, it still is moving. I forgive them wholeheartedly.

With a critical eye and passion for his profession, Toine looked at our wishes and achieved an amazing result for us. We never would have dared to dream of this. Selling and moving house (or further) can already be stressful enough. So give yourself someone like Toine: who takes away your worries, arranges everything and achieves the best result. The best real estate agent in Amsterdam!

We were excellently helped by Benjamin from Boomsma & Bruinsma real estate agents. We would recommend him to everyone.

A great realtor! It was a long search, but he kept going and managed to help us buy our dream house!

Very professional agency. I had the privilege of being assisted by agent Benjamin and he was just great. Always quick to respond, extremely professional and well prepared on all details of all houses I wanted to view. He makes time for you despite a busy schedule. He is extremely honest and objective. He really wants to help you find the right house for the right price. You can see that this agency works well because they are driven by passion and truly love their work.

Benjamin de Lieme is a fantastic realtor. He always responds quickly and ensures that you sell your house without any problems. We thought the entire process would cause us a lot of stress, but thanks to Benjamin, it all went really smoothly. If we ever want to buy or sell a house again, we will definitely return to him.

A pleasure to work with Ben de Lieme! We were looking for a rental property in Amsterdam, and he quickly found something, was super responsive, attentive, professional, and gave us the full experience and the feeling that we have someone we can trust! Thanks Ben! Boomsma & Bruinsma Makelaars Luckily we had him!

As an expat, it can be difficult to navigate the home buying process in another country. Benjamin made buying a house on the fast-paced Amsterdam market simple and easy. He is expert, attentive, detailed, and responsive. Thank you very much!

Toine helped us exceptionally well with the sale of our house. The entire process went smoothly, including measuring, photographing, creating a brochure and viewings. And the result was even better, despite a difficult market with a lot of uncertainty, high inflation and rising interest rates (all bad for a seller), the selling price exceeded our expectations. Afterwards/simultaneously, we also bought a new home with Toine. He protects you from wrong decisions and too much enthusiasm by always giving his honest opinion, even if it doesn't align with your own ideas. But there is value in that as well. We bought a beautiful new place with Toine, for a lower price than we ourselves had thought. Very satisfied!

Working with Toine for years now, best realtor in Amsterdam!

Fast and good guidance during the sales process

Very good company to work with, they arrange everything superbly.

Top service and fantastic result!

Toine expertly guided us in buying an apartment in Amsterdam. He was professional and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!

I can wholeheartedly recommend working with Toine and Boomsma & Bruinsma Makelaars. The communication was seamless, the time and personal attention given were remarkable. Moreover, the result of the sale exceeded my expectations. Truly impeccable service, and also sensational on a human level. You won't find anyone who is better or more involved in the process.

Toine Kwakman from Boomsma and Bruinsma handled the sale of our apartment in the Houthavens Amsterdam. It's not the first time we've worked with him. This always happens very carefully and smoothly: Toine monitors the process well and ensures that you, as a seller, keep your head cool and that an excellent deal is reached. Toine knows the Amsterdam market like no other, is easily approachable and continuously communicates about the progress of the process.

Boomsma en Bruinsma Makelaars (and specifically Toine Kwakman) are professional, to the point and reliable. Toine Kwakman helped me with the purchase of my first house in Amsterdam. He delivered quickly and above all excellently. Toine knows the Amsterdam housing market like no other and is always direct, but never unpleasant, in communication. He quickly understands what the client wants, but is also realistic. Moreover, he is available 24/7, has an enormous network and does everything necessary to ensure that the client (more than!) is satisfied. A recommendation for everyone who wants to buy a house in Amsterdam!

Lots of personal attention and involvement throughout the entire process! Ideas were contributed at every step, from actively searching to negotiation and purchase, so very satisfied.

This might just be the best real estate agent in Amsterdam. The result is always top-notch; he doesn't do it for less.

Toine was available 24/7, has done a lot of research, and has been very critical several times about houses he didn't support, even if it would have been easier for him to buy them. In addition, he has a very good network, and knows many people in this world. I would definitely ask him again if I were to buy a house.

Engaged realtor, who is very experienced and therefore was able to help us very well throughout the entire process! Highly recommended!

Toine Kwakman is a very critical broker, with lots of experience. Does his work with great pleasure and expresses himself honestly about everything, which we found very pleasant. Despite his initial doubt about the location (outside the ring), he fully committed to it 100%. Twan has done a lot of work, and we would recommend him to everyone!

We are very satisfied with our collaboration with B&B real estate agents. In particular, the communication flowed very smoothly: short lines, kept well informed of all steps and constantly clear and direct advice regarding choices and steps. During negotiations, the experience and persuasiveness of our agent were important to get the best possible deal. It was also nice to see that the agent continuously follows developments in the market and takes action when necessary. In short, as far as we are concerned, this agent was an investment that has certainly paid for itself!

Toine gives good advice, understands the subject matter and shares his opinion. As a result, he has helped us for the second time in a very pleasant and personal way with the purchase and sale of our home.

Mr. Kellerman is an exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable realtor. He has an eye for the needs of the customer, thinks along with you, puts the client's interests first, and is extremely accessible. I would like to recommend this realtor to everyone.

Real estate agent Toine Kwakman is not only expert and 100% dedicated to the client, he's also a really nice guy. He provided us with the fastest and best imaginable service!

We have a long-standing relationship with Boomsma & Bruinsma Makelaars. Since Toine Kwakman became the owner in 1997, the very personal approach and commitment have grown stronger. Recently, it has once again been demonstrated during the purchase of an apartment and the sale of our house on van Eeghenstraat that Toine has excellent insight into the market and is therefore an indispensable link. He is always accessible, active, and immediately provides all relevant necessary information, allowing for a well-considered decision to be reached with him. This collaboration led to our house being sold in two weeks. Another confirmation to award him the title 'best realtor'. So a 10! J.van Vollenhoven, Amsterdam

Toine Kwakman is a professional. Competent, friendly, and genuinely interested. He helped me with the purchase of my first house in Amsterdam, and recently with the sale of my (probably) last house in Amsterdam. In both cases, he performed quickly and well. Toine has been working in Amsterdam for a long time and knows the market and the other real estate agents well. He also quickly understands what you want as a client. When I bought my first house, he even played a bit of devil's advocate to make sure I really wanted the apartment. It is nice to have a realtor who protects your interests and doesn’t want to realize a sale as quickly as possible. Highly recommended! Eric-Jan Wagenmakers

As executor, I had to sell a property on behalf of the heirs. To do this as well as possible, I started searching online for a real estate agent who is familiar with the neighborhood where the property is located. Ultimately chose Boomsma and Bruinsma real estate agents. My contact person was Pauline Sweers. I can only say that I was excellently helped. Friendly, expert, and spontaneous. If you need a real estate agent, I can recommend this agency to you. Pauline thanks again for everything. R van Schaagen Amstelveen
