Burgemeester Vastgoed

Barry is the best! Superefficient, understands your needs and helps you understand the market. We only needed two viewings to find exactly what we needed. I also appreciate that he sticks to the budget. A great experience.

We had a fantastic experience with Barry! He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and proactive. He guided us through every step of the purchasing process, accompanied us to countless viewings, and helped us through the bidding process and completion. Thank you, Barry!

Had a very nice experience with Barry! Lots of support and thinks along well. Very happy with the end result!

Barry understood our wishes from the very first meeting. He made the home buying process smooth and stress-free, partly thanks to his extensive network. He is incredibly responsive, available, and attentive during communication. We love our new apartment, and that's thanks to him.

We are incredibly pleased with Barry as our buyer's agent. In just 6 years, he has helped us purchase 2 homes in the Amsterdam region. His over 20 years of experience as a certified real estate agent shines through in everything he does. What truly sets Barry apart is his incredible network. He seems to know everyone in Amsterdam, Amstelveen and surrounding areas. This gives his clients a real advantage in this competitive market. Barry is always patient, attentive, and goes above and beyond to ensure that his clients find their dream home. His personal approach and attention to detail are truly exceptional. We are incredibly grateful for his excellent guidance throughout our entire purchasing process. Whether you are a local or an expat looking to move or invest, we cannot recommend Barry enough. If you need a buyer's agent in Amsterdam, don't look any further: Barry is certainly the right choice!

I cannot recommend Barry highly enough to anyone looking to buy an apartment in and around Amsterdam in the current market. He is simply superb. Within 2 weeks, we found a perfect place that exceeded our expectations. This would have been impossible without Barry's expert guidance and extremely professional and helpful attitude. Communication with Barry was seamless. He is exceptionally personable and tailors his guidance precisely to what you are looking for, whether it concerns location, type of property or price range. His knowledge and network are enormous and he offers candid advice to prevent 'overly emotional' decisions that you may later regret. The entire process was a pleasure, especially thanks to Barry’s careful attention and extremely kind character. I would like to speak with anyone considering using Barry to share more about our experiences. In short, if you can convince Barry to help you, don't hesitate and grab him before someone else does. From my experience, you won't regret it. Brendan O'Dwyer

In our search for a good real estate agent in Amsterdam, we were recommended Barry. After an initial conversation, we immediately had confidence in both Barry and Monique. Barry quickly understood what we were looking for after this conversation and also advised us accordingly. Throughout the entire process, Barry was very involved and always open to all of our questions. Even after the offer was accepted, Barry continued to help us with the notary process etc. We are very happy with Barry and Monique and would definitely recommend them to everyone!

We went looking for a new apartment in Amsterdam without extensive preparation and expected a quick victory here. It was anticipated that we would enter a challenging market, where we balanced between making a winning bid and offering something still reasonable enough to justify the mortgage value. It felt like a complete relief to have Barry on board our team, to forget the struggle and leave this to a very experienced professional, and simply enjoy the ride. Premium service pays well, but is every cent more than worth it. Highly recommended and once again greatly appreciated for his help in our life-changing process.

Barry exceptionally helped us find our dream house in Amsterdam. From the beginning, he carefully selected accommodations that met our needs and quickly adjusted his recommendations based on our feedback. Just as we were about to lower our expectations, Barry found a house for us that we truly loved. With his expert guidance on timing and bidding strategy, our first offer was accepted - something we didn't think possible in Amsterdam’s competitive market! Thanks to his proactive approach, everything went quickly and smoothly. We are now happily settled into our house in Amsterdam, which we weren't even sure was feasible. Thank you, Barry, for making the impossible possible! Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home in Amsterdam.

Barry has been very helpful with his recommendations from day 1. Always willing to help and answer all my questions and requests. He is very dedicated and will be honest in his opinion about the houses you visit. If it doesn't suit you, he will let you know. Even when helping with the decision to bid too much, which is quite common in this tight Amsterdam market, he is very aware and will tell you whether or not it is worth making a higher offer. He is extremely reliable, respectful, patient and trustworthy.

Working with Barry when purchasing our house was a piece of cake. I can wholeheartedly recommend him! Barry is super knowledgeable about the Amsterdam housing market, responds quickly and got us our house with the right bid and the right conditions.

Barry's help with the purchase of my first apartment was invaluable. He actively listened to my wishes and made sure he screened all apartments before viewing them, which saved us time and energy. He regularly came up with possibilities before I had seen them online. During viewings, he ensured that he focused on all the small but important technical details so that I could focus on my overall opinion of the apartments. He didn't rush and even postponed the process several times due to details I had overlooked. Ultimately, we found the perfect apartment for me in less than two months. And thanks to his market knowledge and negotiation skills, I got a great apartment at a great price without having to pay transfer tax. Finally, Barry checked all the documents to make sure everything was in order, which was enormously important to me since I don't yet speak Dutch. All in all, I am very happy with Barry and I can wholeheartedly recommend him.

Barry was great to work with! He helped me find my first apartment in Amsterdam, and the whole process went super smoothly. He was quick, efficient, and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. I felt like he genuinely cared about helping me find the right place, not just any place. If you're looking for someone who knows the Amsterdam housing market and offers a personal, no-nonsense service, then Barry is your man!

I would recommend Barry and Monique to anyone who wants to buy a house in Amsterdam! They have extensive knowledge of the housing market and provide excellent advice on your future purchase. We found our house within a month in Amsterdam Oud-West! Thanks again for being such good professionals and even making the purchasing process enjoyable :)

We had a fantastic experience with Barry, the real estate agent who helped us find our new apartment in Amsterdam Oud Zuid. Barry responded incredibly quickly, was knowledgeable and always available to answer our questions. His insights were invaluable, making the purchasing process smooth and stress-free. We are grateful to Barry for his help and highly recommend him due to his exceptional service and professionalism.

Barry has helped us wonderfully in finding our new house! As expats, we were unfamiliar with the local market, but his expertise made the whole process much easier. He guided us through every step, answered all our questions and helped us find the perfect property. Thanks to his professionalism and friendly approach, we felt confident and well supported throughout the entire journey. We wholeheartedly recommend Barry to anyone looking for a good real estate agent. Thank you very much for everything!

We had an exceptional experience working with Barry and Monique on the purchase of our new family home. Professional, attentive and extremely well-informed about the market. We received invaluable advice on what we could offer to secure our dream home. Today, we feel like the happiest family that has found a house in the most unexpected and beautiful location. The process was quick and smooth and every step was clearly explained. It happened in just a few weeks. Some might say it was luck, but it was thanks to Barry, Monique and Maikel. Thanks again team!!!

I really enjoyed working with Barry; he is always friendly and patient enough with me while I explored many neighborhoods before making the final decision to buy a house. I also appreciated his insights into each property we viewed together. Once the decision was made, he ensured that the process went quickly and smoothly. Would definitely work with Barry again!

Had good experiences with Barry. It was a pleasure to work with you and he understood my need for the purchase of the new house. Great knowledge and more than experience in real markets and in real estate, as an expat in Amsterdam it was very new to me. Barry handled it patiently from the first step to the handover of the keys. Efficient way of working and I highly recommend it. :)

The services of Barry were recommended to me by friends who had also used him in the past - I can honestly say that I was not disappointed. From the first meeting, Barry took the time to precisely understand what I was looking for and guided me carefully at every step - all the way up to picking up the keys. His extensive knowledge of the Amsterdam market sets him apart from others and not to be forgotten his attentive service. Can wholeheartedly recommend him for a stress-free purchase experience.

Barry is an absolute rockstar. He is very well informed about the real estate market and took the time to really understand what I was looking for. Well connected, organized and helped on short notice with setting up viewings. Amsterdam can be a pretty competitive market, so I greatly appreciate collaborating with Barry. He advised and helped prioritize apartments where we could make a strong offer.

Barry is passionate, responsive, reliable and creative and knows Amsterdam inside and out. He understands how the housing market works and knows everyone he needs to know to find the right home for you! A great guy and professional.

Barry has helped us wonderfully to find a home! Puts a lot of time and effort into finding what you are looking for. Always available, very flexible, thinks along with you and knows a lot about it.

Buying a house with the help of Barry made the entire process much easier and clearer than it would have been otherwise! There are many pitfalls and things to watch out for when buying in Amsterdam, but Barry is a real expert and helped me through everything. If he hadn't been there, I never would have gotten the house where I ultimately ended up.

I cannot recommend Barry & Monique enough! If you are looking or having trouble finding an apartment, you won't find a better real estate agent than these. We were searching and bidding with another agent for 9 months. After switching to Barry, we found one within a month. They are both very friendly, transparent, and proactive.
