Burgemeester Vastgoed

Excellent experience buying a house. Expert, helpful and supportive at every step in the process. Thank you!

Barry was recommended by a girlfriend who had engaged the Mayor of Real Estate to help find an apartment in Amsterdam as quickly as possible. He helped her find an apartment that met all her requirements and fit within her budget within a few weeks. I got in touch with him after having viewed apartments for weeks and rejected offers. After two months of searching, I found an apartment that really appealed to me, so I decided to approach Barry and try my luck. Within four days of the collaboration, the offer was accepted. The entire process went smoothly and the real estate agent was present throughout. I can wholeheartedly recommend Barry, because he is transparent, realistic, very knowledgeable and knows almost all real estate agents/notaries in the city, which is very handy during bidding negotiations.

Thanks to the personal, expert and pleasant guidance of Barry Burgemeester, my student son has managed to find a top apartment in De Baarsjes. We would like to thank Barry for the realistic coaching and very involved purchase assistance. We could approach him at any time with any question. A real customer is king experience.

We had a fantastic experience with the purchase of our first home, with Barry by our side. He made the process for us super streamlined and efficient, and he was exceptionally reliable (24 hours a day) in guiding us through the complexity of the process; a process that we somehow managed to go through from start to finish in just a few weeks. His relationships on the Amsterdam real estate market are unparalleled, which I believe is the main added value for a buyer's agent. I would absolutely recommend Barry to anyone seeking support with their purchase process, and although I hope I don't need to move again soon (!), we would definitely bring Barry back in for any future moves here. Once again, thank you Barry for all your support in finding our dream home! Mariell & Josh

We had a fantastic experience with Barry. From the very first viewing to the final steps of purchasing our apartment in Amsterdam, we felt genuinely supported and well-advised. Barry responded incredibly quickly, thoroughly and honestly throughout the entire process, emphasizing both the strengths and points of attention for each property we visited. What really stood out was the calm, down-to-earth guidance during negotiations and paperwork. It never felt rushed or pushy - just solid, clear expertise and a human approach. Thanks to the help of him and his wife we found a house that we really love and where we have a good feeling. A real recommendation for everyone looking for a reliable and caring real estate agent in Amsterdam.

Barry is a great real estate agent who made buying a house easy, stress-free and understandable. I was referred to Barry by a friend who also had an amazing experience, and working with him was the best choice I could have made. Barry earns your trust by being honest, responding quickly and always attentive with his advice. His recommendations stem from years of experience and strong connections in the market. He patiently guided me through every step, accompanied me on all viewings, told me what to look out for and emphasized the good features of each apartment we viewed. Although I got the house I always wanted, I would gladly work with Barry again - he is not only a great real estate agent, but also a supportive partner in the process.

Barry helped us find a new house in Amsterdam. Barry's support couldn't have been better. We started by adjusting our wishes and learned in the meantime the pros and cons of the different houses in Amsterdam. Barry adapted quickly. He made the whole process very smooth and easy for us. I can recommend Barry to everyone looking for a house in Amsterdam, but especially if you are not familiar with the housing situation.

Barry is not only a great and very experienced real estate agent, but also a very genuine guy. He was warmly recommended to us by a colleague who had bought three houses in Amsterdam with him. After months of searching and bidding ourselves, without success, we called Barry and got our hope back. He guided us through every process and gave us incredibly valuable advice as first-time buyers. The first available apartment that met our wishes, we won and we are moving next week! We are enormously grateful to Barry for having such a smooth experience in this very competitive market. We will definitely recommend him in the future.

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 conversation. He made the purchasing process smooth and stress-free, thanks in part to his extensive network. He is incredibly responsive, available, and attentive during communication. We are crazy about our new apartment, and that is thanks to him.

We are incredibly happy with Barry as our purchase agent. In just 6 years, he has helped us buy two houses in the Amsterdam area. His more than 20 years of experience as a certified agent is clearly visible in everything he does. What really sets Barry apart, is his incredible network. He seems to know everyone in Amsterdam, Amstelveen and the surrounding areas. This gives his clients a real advantage in this competitive market. Barry is always patient, attentive and does everything to make sure his clients find their dream house. His personal approach and eye for detail are truly exceptional. We are extremely grateful for his excellent guidance throughout our entire purchase process. Whether you live in the area or are an expat, want to move or invest, we can wholeheartedly recommend Barry. If you need a purchase agent in Amsterdam, you don't have to look any further - Barry is absolutely the right choice!

I can highly recommend Barry to everyone who wants to buy an apartment in and around Amsterdam in the current market. He is simply fantastic. We found a perfect home within two weeks that exceeded our expectations. This would have been impossible without Barry's expert guidance and extremely professional and helpful attitude. The communication with Barry was smooth. He is exceptionally friendly and tailors his guidance precisely to what you are looking for, whether it's about the location, type of property or price range. His knowledge and network are both enormous and he gives open-hearted advice to prevent you, as he himself calls it, from making 'overly emotional' decisions that you later regret. The entire process was a pleasure, especially thanks to Barry's careful attention and exceptionally good-natured character. I would be happy to speak with anyone considering engaging Barry to tell them more about our experience. In short, if you can convince Barry to help you, do not hesitate and engage him before someone else does. From my experience I know that you will have no regrets. Brendan O'Dwyer
