Den Uyl Real Estate

Very satisfied with the help of Rutger! In no time my brother and I found a beautiful apartment in a great location, perfect for two people and at a good price. Definitely recommended!

Excellent service from Den Uyl Real Estate – twice! A few years ago, Rutger helped me find and buy my dream apartment in a beautiful neighborhood in Amsterdam; it was love at first sight! Five years later, when it was time to sell, I knew exactly who to call. Again, he guided me through the entire process with professionalism, dedication, and genuine care. He listened to my needs, gave expert advice, and supported me every step of the way. His knowledge of the market and commitment to his clients truly set him apart. If you are looking for a real estate professional who goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend Den Uyl Real Estate. I couldn't have wished for a better experience: twice!

Rutger was our real estate agent for the second time and ensured that the sale of our apartment went smoothly and quickly, while I was already residing at my new address in the United States. The distance was no problem whatsoever. Rutger was very professional and always available for all our questions. We are incredibly grateful for his expertise and dedication and would gladly work with Rutger again in the future!

Very positive experience collaborating with Rutger. We had approximately 10 viewings together, and some of those would not have been possible without his help. Quick communication and good advice, can recommend.

I am incredibly pleased with the help of Den Uyl Real Estate when purchasing my house in Amsterdam. He not only has a large network, but also knows exactly what to look for when buying a house in this challenging market. Thanks to his knowledge, strategic advice and personal guidance, it was possible to successfully purchase a house. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a buyer's agent in Amsterdam!

Had a pleasant and especially quick communication with Rutger.

Super happy! The real estate agent really helped us fantastically. From the first contact to the delivery, everything felt personal and professional. They listened well to our wishes and were always available for questions.

Recently I sold my house in Amsterdam through den Uyl Real Estate. I am very happy with the sales process, Rutger responds quickly and provides expert information about the process beforehand.

Very pleased with the contact with den Uyl Real Estate, responds quickly and provides expert information. Quick sale and good handling. Very satisfied.

Very attention and care for his profession and a person with a lot of knowledge. Wouldn't want to collaborate with anyone else.

Great experience! Everything was professional, good and seamless. Couldn't have wished for a better house search! Thanks

Rutger den Uyl had zich goed voorbereid and is gedurende het verkoopproces goed benaderbaar. Zijn strategie werkte, waarbij een voordeel was dat hij (zoals hij meteen ook aankondigde) alle verzoeken tot bezichtiging inwilligde, ook ‘s avonds en in het weekend. Dus goede service tegen een prima prijs, we kunnen Rutger zeker aanraden.

Very satisfied with the entire process. Rutger has been both my buying and selling agent for multiple properties. We will work together again soon.

I had a fantastic experience with Den Uyl Real Estate Amsterdam and would highly recommend their services. Rutger was incredibly professional, responsive, and knowledgeable and guided me smoothly through the entire process. Thanks to his expertise, finding a suitable property in Amsterdam went seamlessly and stress-free.

Rutger was great, fast and very helpful for everything. He showed me the studio on Tuesday and by Friday I already had the contract in my hand and Monday I was in the studio. He is really a good guy who solved our biggest problem here, the house, in a short time. Thank you so much.

The pre-process went well and quickly. The property could be published online quickly by the real estate agent. The real estate agent was always easily accessible. The viewings were also carried out well. Very satisfied with the process.

Great collaboration with Rutger, highly recommended!

I recently left my rental apartment and I cannot thank Rutger from Den Uyl Real Estate Amsterdam enough for his help during this process. Rutger was always available to answer my questions and ensured clear and timely communication. He made sure everything was handled correctly, from the coordination with the landlord to assisting with the final inspection. Due to his friendly and approachable attitude, I felt supported throughout the entire process. I can wholeheartedly recommend Rutger and Den Uyl Real Estate Amsterdam to anyone who needs reliable and dedicated real estate agents. Thank you for making my move so much easier! Kind regards, Mohit.

Could very quickly go from 0 to 100 because the time between proposing and submitting the offer was very fast. Negotiated with the seller to get the bid accepted. Clear expectations communicated and responded quickly to all questions. Mortgage advisor arranged, who successfully secured a mortgage for the purchase. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Den Uyl Real Estate!

A great success! My girlfriend and I were looking for a rental property in Amsterdam. Finding one through Pararius and Funda is impossible these days. Luckily, Rutger was able to help us fantastically. Within a week we had a viewing and were allowed to sign our rental agreement. Rutger has been very driven and customer-oriented in the broadest sense. In short, a great success. Highly recommended.

On June 6th, I got in contact with Rutger. Today, on June 28th, we have already signed for our new rental property. And what a property! It meets all of our requirements and is even better than expected. What top service and support from Rutger. We are very grateful to him and will enjoy our new home!

Great contact, immediately found the house we wanted thanks to Rutger. Even after completion, we could still reach him for questions and he was very helpful. Recommended for everyone looking for a house in Amsterdam!

Rutger has helped us enormously well. He acts quickly, has beautiful properties in his network and also at market-compliant prices. If you are looking for a house to rent or buy, Rutger is the man!

Was able to go from 0 to 100 very quickly, as the time between introductions and making the bid was very fast. Negotiated with the seller to get the bid accepted. Clearly communicated expectations and responded promptly to all questions. Arranged a mortgage advisor, who successfully secured a mortgage for the purchase. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Den Uyl Real Estate!

As a purchasing agent, very involved and always available for tips, suggestions, and actions to be taken, whether it's evening or weekend, doesn't matter! Quick switching and staying on top of things has led to the fact that Rutger was able to purchase our dream apartment on Keizersgracht! I highly recommend Rutger!

Great help from Rutger. Quickly found a new apartment in Amsterdam! Pleasant communication and fast response. Top realtor! I definitely recommend Den Uyl Real Estate.

Den Uyl is an incredibly pleasant broker to work with. Comes up with many relevant offers, provides good guidance, is reliable and responds quickly.

Very satisfied. If you are looking for a real estate agency that responds quickly and communicates transparently and clearly, then you have come to the right place with Den Uyl Real Estate. Always accessible and overall a very pleasant experience.

Extremely pleased with Rutger's quick and transparent actions. I was urgently looking for a home for myself and received a beautiful rental property in no time at a location that I trust, where I can move in immediately. I look forward to my time there and will definitely consult Den Uyl Real Estate in the future when needed.

Fine brokers, Rutger is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Rutger was our contact person at the company. From the very first moment, he was always helpful and responded quickly and objectively to our questions and needs.

If you are looking for a real estate agency that responds quickly and communicates clearly, then you have come to the right place with Den Uyl Real Estate. Always accessible and overall a very pleasant experience.

Very good experience with both Rutger and Claire! Very pleasant contact and a large selection of houses. Extremely satisfied with our new location!

Really a very fine real estate agency! Relaxed people and together found a nice little house in a short period of time. Definitely recommend it!

Recently I had a special experience with Den Uyl Real Estate in Amsterdam. Rutger provided professional, efficient and friendly service and within two days we found our perfect house. I can wholeheartedly recommend Den Uyl Real Estate and Rutger to anyone looking for fast, first-class real estate guidance in Amsterdam.

Top service! We came to view on Friday. The paperwork was sorted out on Saturday. And we were already able to receive the keys on Tuesday! Rutger really goes above and beyond for you! I am very satisfied!

Rutger has been a great realtor for us when selling our apartment. Reasonably priced, open in communication, well organized and he did everything to never say no to people to arrange a viewing. Also during the weekends. Would definitely recommend him to you!

I found them through the funda.nl website itself. When we went to view the rental property, the first thing he said was that the house was unfurnished. We came across a house that was very different from the photos. Moreover, the description did not mention that it was unfurnished. When I asked him about it, he showed me a Dutch word that means ‘characteristic’. By not mentioning that the first thing he said was about it being unfurnished, is a way of withholding information to lure people there. If you add an English description and don't mention the most important detail, that’s a big amateur mistake. Don't waste people's time.

The process of buying a house went very well with Rutger! He is particularly honest and clear. You can really trust him: he won't recommend a house that he doesn't fully support. Also, he is on top of things. There was time pressure but it succeeded in buying a house within a few weeks in Amsterdam Oud West. In addition, Rutger is also very friendly and involved. So definitely recommended and I will contact him if I want to move again :)

I felt like I was in good hands, Rutger helps you well during the process and sets realistic expectations. This took away the stress of selling. Moreover, the day of viewings was well organized. Highly recommended!

Rutger helped me find the perfect place for me, tailored to all my wishes. Highly recommended! Very kind and friendly! I am grateful! // Rutger helped me find the perfect place for me, aligned with all my wishes. Super recommended! Very nice and friendly! I am very grateful!

Had a super nice experience. Everything went smoothly and communication was clear. Definitely recommended!

Rutger helped us tremendously with the sale of our house. Throughout the entire process, he was always easily accessible and kept us well informed about the progress. Thanks to his quick action and his knowledge of the market, our house was sold in no time.

Super fast sale of my house! Could quickly and easily communicate with Den Uyl real estate agent and listened well to my wishes. Definitely recommended!

Through Den Uyl Real Estate, my best friend and I found a wonderful apartment in central Amsterdam. The service was excellent, the communication was good, and everything was arranged quickly. Moreover, the customer contact was pleasant. We are very grateful to Den Uyl Real Estate!

Contact with the real estate agent was good, fast and personal. We were helped with everything and our requirements were taken into account. A very strong recommendation

Within a few days after I first contacted the real estate agency, I was already able to attend two viewings that met my criteria. I could never have found either location through all the house search channels I used beforehand. Within a week, I got the perfect place for me and I couldn't be more grateful!

As I have heard and experienced, it is currently very difficult to find housing in Amsterdam, but Rutger and Den Uyl quickly found a place for us and were extremely helpful in facilitating the entire process. Overall, I found them quite flexible and well-informed, they easily answered some of the questions we had about our rental agreement, the logistics of moving, and generally they were good at giving general advice for the whole process. Would definitely recommend to a friend!

I had a great experience with Rutger. He helped us secure a rental apartment, while I thought that wouldn't be possible! I was looking for an apartment in San Francisco, where I lived. Rutger WhatsApp filmed me so I could see the apartment and quickly and effectively secure it together before our move to Amsterdam. He was very responsive and helpful with everything, which was perfect for us because we were brand new to the city. I don't know what we would have done without him and our new apartment. We are so grateful!! I have and will continue to recommend this service to anyone who wants to listen.

What a lovely real estate agent! Clear communication, thinks along with you and arranges things quickly and efficiently and is always easily accessible. A very reliable partner if you want to sell a house. I can wholeheartedly recommend Rutger den Uyl!

I would recommend this realtor. Rutger is a really nice guy who feels involved in what he's doing. Very easy contact via WhatsApp; always answered very quickly! Are there nicer realtors...? I don't think so.

The sales process went very well. The property was sold within three weeks. I had a lot of telephone contact with Rutger during the process. This ensured that I was well informed about what was happening. I wasn't often in Amsterdam myself and left everything to Rutger. I am very satisfied with Rutger at every point. I can certainly recommend him.

It was a great experience with Den Uyl Real Estate. They guided us well through the process. Because we are not from the Netherlands, we really needed this good help. They also helped us with the styling of the apartment's furniture. We then only had to give the keys and documents to the real estate agent and they took everything else off our hands. A very good result as a result! Very positive about Den Uyl Real Estate

Rutger has been a great Real Estate agent for us in selling our apartment. Fair priced, open in communication, well organized and he walked the extra mile to never say no to people to arrange a visit. Even so during the weekend. Would definitely recommend him to you!

Extremely satisfied, the process ran smoothly. The communication with Rutger was seamless, with a good result.

Rutger was a real lifesaver during our home search. His wide connections in the community and swift communication around new listings were crucial to our success. He was always there for last-minute video tours, making the process easy and stress-free, especially when we were abroad. We're really thankful and wholeheartedly suggest him to anyone searching for a trustworthy, responsive and effective real estate agent.

The process of buying a house went very well with Rutger! He is particularly honest and clear. You can really trust him: he won't recommend a house that he doesn't fully support. Also, he stays on top of things. There was time pressure but it succeeded in buying a house within a few weeks in Amsterdam Oud West. In addition, Rutger is also very friendly and involved. So definitely recommended and I will contact him if I want to move.

Den Uyl Real Estate provided excellent rental guidance. We are very satisfied and can therefore recommend Den Uyl Real Estate. Rutger is always easily accessible!

Rutger is a really nice guy who feels involved in what he's doing. Very easy to contact via WhatsApp; always answered very quickly! Are there any nicer brokers...? I don't think so.

From the first step to the last step, Rutger helped me very well. His network is very large and he has helped me in many ways besides buying the house. This is for example with electricity, gas, water, internet, name it. Also through him I did not overbid on the house either. So basically I have saved more than the real estate agent costs. I recommend Den Uyl Real Estate only for people who want a very good experience!

We have now used Den Uyl Real Estate twice for both buying and selling our properties. Excellent and professional service. Highly recommended.

Rutger professionally listed the property on Funda. Subsequently, he conducted the viewings in good consultation. He was always easily accessible. There were multiple interested parties. Ultimately, Rutger checked the tenants. We are happy with the new tenants. We recommend Den Uyl Real Estate.

Den Uyl Real Estate sold the property in a very short time. The process went pleasantly. Den Uyl Real Estate was easily accessible during the process, allowing us to discuss several steps properly. All in all, good teamwork. We can recommend Den Uyl Real Estate!

Pleasant contact, easily accessible and rented out the property quickly. Professional and acts expertly!

Very satisfied with Rutger and his team. He is not a typical slick realtor, it felt very human, personal and genuine. I look back on a pleasant way of working together, good communication and accessibility and a very good negotiation. Everything was clearly discussed and addressed. I definitely recommend this realtor to friends and acquaintances. Thank you!

Regarding the result, I was very satisfied. I started looking for a property in mid-April and wanted to have a deal closed by the end of July to avoid transfer tax. Rutger told me it would be difficult, but we managed to find a building with which I am quite happy. Throughout the entire process, he was very well informed about how much he had to offer and how to prevent overbidding. I feel that his advice has delivered me a property that, when the time comes, I can sell with a nice profit. Very pleased with his service.

Rutger guided us very well with the sale of the apartment. He knows the market well. He is very accessible (whatsapp). He scheduled a large number of viewings to increase the chance of a good offer. The consultation about the bids also went well, with clear and concise advice from his side. We are super satisfied with Rutger. Den Uyl Real Estate is recommended

After searching independently for a long time without result, we ended up engaging a real estate agent. Through recommendations, we came to Den Uyl Real Estate. Rutger was able to quickly help us find a new home. In a prime location. It was quite an easy and smooth process. Thank you, Rutger!

Thanks to Rutger, an apartment was found in Amsterdam very quickly (a real opportunity!). In addition, Rutger is very knowledgeable, proactive and easily accessible (also in the evenings and weekends). He practices his profession with passion, thinks along well, knows how to ask the right questions during viewings and can advise well. One thing is certain, without Rutger I would not have had my apartment!

5 stars! Rutger and Merel were very helpful. The communication was good, they were always helpful with any doubts and the response time was fast. They showed a good knowledge of the market and gave us realistic expectations which gave us a lot of confidence. Finding the house went quickly, as did the purchase process. Rutger offered good price guidance. 5/5 recommended.

Excellent service, speed and office with solid real estate knowledge

Rutger was absolutely fantastic from day one. He arranged all the viewings with the seller's agents. He facilitated all negotiations during the bidding phase. And ultimately, he made the entire purchasing process very simple for an expat. Thank you!

5 stars on all aspects! 1. Communication: simple. They were always reachable and helped us with all our doubts. 2. Service: very professional. They showed a good knowledge of the market and gave us much confidence in the results. 3. Speed: fast. They sold our house within no time. 4. Price: Very good!

Rutger was helpful and exceeded my expectations by far. Very happy with the result! My apartment was sold quickly and for a very good price.

Rutger is a pleasant realtor to work with. He doesn't adhere to traditional office hours and is available when needed. Thank you for helping us find our house!

Fantastic service! Despite the tight housing market, there's still a good supply available. Rutger is always reachable and very helpful, highly recommended!

Top realtor! Arranged an apartment in the middle of the Jordaan for us within a week. Reacts very quickly, even after work hours and on weekends, and is very friendly. Wants to thank them very much for the beautiful apartment. Finn

Merel excellently helped me with renting a new apartment in an extremely competitive rental market. The entire process went very smoothly and without problems. I would highly recommend Den Uyl Real Estate to others.

Rutger is always easily accessible and he helped me well, I recommend everyone to make use of his services.

Rutger and colleagues have been very involved in handling the sale of the property and are always available to answer your questions. It was a long process. But they handled the negotiations perfectly and took a lot of worries off your hands. The house went for a good price. The team is definitely worth recommending.

Rutger helped us to make a successful bid for the purchase of a house in a very difficult market. He always did his best to accompany us to viewings, sometimes on short notice. He gave valuable advice during the process and assisted with negotiations. It was pleasant working together with Rutger.

After initially working with another real estate agent for 6 months, we switched to Rutger because we were looking for someone who would actually do their best for us. Within a month, things took off. Rutger is relaxed in his demeanor, easily accessible during the day, outside of work hours and on weekends, thinks and searches well, and immediately goes along with the first viewings. Ultimately, thanks to Rutger's advice, we offered significantly less on the ‘winning house’ than we ourselves proposed, and in doing so, we saved a large amount of money. That's how it can be done.

Rutger is an expert and driven real estate agent who does his work in a human and friendly manner. He sold my apartment very quickly, and I would recommend him and his office to everyone! Had a really pleasant collaboration!

Rutger helped me enormously in buying my house. I doubted whether I needed a real estate agent, but Rutger has proven that it really can make a huge difference! He has a nose for opportunities and thinks along well, and is available 24/7 and helpful, despite the small size of his office. Rutger is a pleasant and skilled person; I wholeheartedly recommend him to you.

Found a super nice house within a week thanks to Merel and Rutger!

Very effective and quick to find a house. Well assisted and very satisfied.

Together with Rutger we looked for a house in Amsterdam and the surrounding area. We visited quite a few houses, where Rutger was usually present as well, or he would go check later. Always easily accessible, even in the evening and on weekends. Ultimately, we found a beautiful house thanks to Rutger, so very satisfied!

In today's market, it's simply not doable without a buyer's agent. Luckily, I had Rutger! Thanks again 👍👍👍…

Rutger did more than I could have expected from a realtor. He is almost 24/7 available and even helped me find a contractor in this very busy market. I recommend Den Uyl Real Estate to anyone who wants to buy or sell a house.

The sale/purchase/rental is a minefield. I gave my hand to RUTGER DEN UYL, and he guided me with efficiency, love and particularly professionalism. Not a second would I hesitate to recommend him as your personal broker. Bravo Rutger!
