Francis Helmig Makelaardij

Nikki Blom, one of the real estate agents at Francis Helmig Makelaars, was very service-oriented, good and easy to reach. Her advice was also clear, which made the sale proceed quickly and smoothly.

Very nice contact with real estate agent Nikki. Transparent and comes up with good ideas. Very pleasant to deal with both us and the interested party during the viewings. Definitely recommended!

Saranke was immediately ready for us with expert help. Very reliable and friendly. She has helped us a lot and is very goal-oriented and explains everything well.

Very satisfied with Eveline regarding her preparations, the speed of putting the house on sale and subsequently during the sale. I would employ them again as soon as I sell a house.

Very good, reliable, friendly and competent real estate agent. Niki knows exactly what is needed to sell it the right way. Very transparent and fine in the always quick communication. A recommendation!

Very satisfied with this real estate agency. From the very beginning until after the handover we were perfectly guided by Francis Helmig. Always easy to reach and very proactive, really a recommendation!

The sale of our home was perfectly accompanied, the office and staff are easily reachable and we are very satisfied with the good service. Definitely a recommendation!

De agent was zeer professioneel en effectief en zorgde altijd voor een duidelijke en geruststellende communicatie. We zouden hen zeker aanbevelen.

I had an amazing experience with Nikki when buying my first apartment in Amsterdam. She was responsive, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process. I appreciated that she gave her opinion as if she were in my shoes. I recommend it to everyone who wants to buy in Amsterdam!

Nikki guided us very well during the sale of our apartment. Nikki is a great sparring partner and advised and helped us well. She works professionally and has everything in order. She is up-to-date with the market and communicates pleasantly and clearly. We definitely recommend her!

Comprehensive expert guidance throughout the entire process. We could never have managed or known this alone. During the search, Saranke asked exactly the right questions and pointed out all risks and benefits to us. When considering offers, she precisely advised what was appropriate in each situation. Ultimately, we were able to negotiate favorably because of this. Even during the finalization and purchase itself, she provided excellent assistance by explaining all the documents, so that we could proceed with a good feeling...

Nikki was engaged as a sales agent because we were familiar with 3 other successful sales that she had completed. Her all-round expertise came in handy for our sale, which needed to be realized within a short time due to time pressure. Despite this, everything proceeded carefully and pleasantly through the management of a good sales strategy. Excellent availability and interim consultations. We are very satisfied with the process and result, thanks to Nikki.

Nikki from Francis Helmig Real Estate has guided me fantastically through the sale of my apartment. She closely monitored everything, kept me perfectly informed at all times and gave valuable advice. Thanks to her extensive market knowledge, she was able to reassure me every time. Thank you so much again, Nikki!

Nikki was wonderful to go through the purchase process of my first house with. She guided me from A to Z and made sure I had an accepted offer within 2 weeks!

I was very pleased with Saranke van den Broek from Francis Helmig Makelaardij. After 23 years, I sold my apartment and I had no idea how such a sales process works. Saranke expertly guided me through all the steps, arranged everything flawlessly, responded quickly to questions and gave good advice. Truly a nice person to work with!

A fine realtor who takes good account of your circumstances. And she sold my house well!!!

We find Saranke van den Broek to be a very knowledgeable and pleasant real estate agent. She takes you step by step through the entire (for us complicated) process, provides clear explanations and good advice. We are very satisfied with Saranke!

Expert no-nonsense real estate agent. Genuine and pleasant to work with. Easily accessible, good communication skills and takes a lot of initiative. Attention to detail and good legal and market knowledge resulting in high level of service and guidance.

Saranke was amazing. She understood our buying preferences well, had a keen sense of appropriate value for each apartment, helped us to not overpay and in the end find the right apartment for us. Very good communication and was always available - top notch!

This realtor was always accessible, very knowledgeable, reliable, involved and always attentive to my possibilities (e.g., availability etc.). Very happy that they guided the sale.

Thanks to Saranke, we were able to buy a house that we initially thought was not possible. She was very involved throughout the entire purchasing process and responded quickly once we expressed interest in a property. Saranke kept everything sharp and ensured that we remained well informed. Even after the purchase of our home, she continued to support us excellently. She took the time to carefully review the documents from both the notary and the mortgage provider with us.

Very pleasant collaboration with Eveline, I could fully entrust my concerns to her, happy with the personal and professional approach. Always easy to reach and good contact in between, constantly re-aligning on the next phase. Therefore, I would wholeheartedly recommend Eveline from Francis Helmig Makelaardij to everyone!

We were helped by Saranke. Very grateful for how she guided us through both the purchase and sales process. Empathetic, honest, critical, and attention to detail. Even from the new buyer I received feedback that they experienced the meeting with Saranke during the viewing as very pleasant.

During the sale of our house and purchase of a new home, we were guided by Nikki and Eveline. We experienced this very positively! Both Nikki and Eveline were always ready for us with questions, and handled everything that needed to be done quickly and well. Nikki planned a huge number of viewings and took all the time and space so everyone had the opportunity to view our house - which led to a quick and good sale! Eveline helped us with the purchase, including finding a fast and good building inspector, appraiser, and was present everywhere to oversee things, which gave us a very pleasant feeling about the purchase. We initially thought we could manage without a buyer's agent, but afterwards we are very happy that we engaged Eveline with her expertise. We would highly recommend Francis Helmig!

Nikki wonderfully guided us through the sale of our house. From preparing for the photos, arranging a fantastic photographer to making room for a whole lot of viewings - everything went smoothly. We sold our house very well and that would never have been possible without Nikki!

We worked with Saranke to purchase our first home in Amsterdam, and we were very satisfied with the experience. Throughout the process, she was professional, well-organized, and supportive. She joined us for the viewings and helped us consider the pros and cons of each property. Once we found the apartment we wanted, she explained the documents clearly, helped with the technical inspection, and guided us through the steps of the mortgage process. As first-time buyers, we had m…

We are incredibly happy with Nikki's help as our buyer's agent! Nikki is professional, involved, and extremely knowledgeable.

We would recommend her to everyone looking for a reliable and expert real estate agent. Thank you, Nikki!

She effortlessly guided us through every step of the process, making what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless. Nikki is not only a highly skilled professional but also a fantastic person. Everyone would be lucky to work with her!

A real recommendation! I never thought that searching for a house in Amsterdam could be so comfortable and even enjoyable. Thanks to Nikki, my search became a piece of cake, because she was kind, professional and knew exactly how to handle the stressful market. Every question I had (and I had many) she answered with ease and detail. Without her, I would never have found my beautiful apartment in one of my favorite neighborhoods of Amsterdam. I am incredibly happy with the result. Once again: I can wholeheartedly recommend Francis Helmig Makelaardij. Especially for people with a busy agenda who quickly feel overwhelmed, but are still particular about what they want.

After I had found a house and my bid was accepted, I wasn't sure how to approach the final phase. Nikki was extremely helpful with all the steps I had to go through and answered all my questions, which weren't entirely clear to me in the buying process. Because of that, everything was a lot less stressful. I would absolutely recommend her.

Thanks to realtor Nikki from Francis Helmig Realty, I have recently moved into a beautiful apartment that completely meets my wishes. Nikki helped me well during the search process. She has extensive expertise, acts quickly and communicates clearly and pleasantly. I definitely recommend Francis Helmig Realty!

Without Nikki, I would never have found my beautiful home! She was very fast, accurate and helpful. Highly recommended!

Pay very close attention with this real estate agent! This agent sells verbal lies and as soon as their lies come out, they leave you stranded. Make sure everything they tell you is actually stated in the documents.

Excellent support and knowledge throughout the entire home buying process.

Saranke was a fantastic support and friend throughout the entire purchasing process. Her guidance and opinions were invaluable, and she made the purchasing process so smooth. I can wholeheartedly recommend her!

Very satisfied with the professional support from Nikki of Francis Helmig Real Estate when purchasing our new home in Amsterdam. Despite the difficult housing market, it was still successful!

Saranke helped me with the purchase of my very first apartment in Amsterdam! The cooperation with her was really fantastic! As an expat, I had no idea about the housing market, but she explained everything so clearly and helped me with every question, big or small. I am extremely happy with my new home, which we found after only four weeks of searching. Saranke helped me close a good deal, took into account all my wishes and needs, and even brought up things I hadn't thought of or asked for myself! She responded super quickly via SMS, at any time of day, and even helped me with contacts for a mortgage, electrician, etc. I had never thought that buying a home abroad would be possible, but thanks to her help the process went so smoothly. A thousand times thank you!

Expert, engaged, also experienced in the more difficult jobs. Highly recommended!

Nikki Blom is a professional, personal, honest and knowledgeable real estate agent with market expertise. She is always accessible, keeps her appointments, and provides well-supported advice. In this sometimes overheated market, she keeps a cool head, objectively assesses the value, and is honest in her advice. Furthermore, Nikki has a large network in Amsterdam and knows how to support you throughout the entire purchasing process. Thanks to her, my first offer on my dream house in Amsterdam was accepted!

From the very first contact with Nikki, it was clear that we were with the right real estate agent to sell our apartment. She guided us so well through the entire sales process with her expertise, advice, experiences and quick responsiveness. She is such a pleasant and warm person to work with, everything felt familiar and in super good hands that I even miss her now in our weekly communication :-) Thank you for everything dear Nikki, you are truly a great real estate agent!!

[Spring 2024 Housing Sales, Amsterdam West] Smooth collaboration and pleasant contact with realtor Nikki Blom. Nikki has a lot of knowledge and expertise. She provides realistic expectations, does her work accurately, and responds quickly. A top performer.

Fantastic experience with Saranke during our search for our new home. From the initial preparations to the day at the notary signing everything, she was just fantastic! I cannot recommend her enough. It was almost a perfect experience!

Francis Helmig real estate has helped us with the purchase of our house in the Rivierenbuurt neighborhood! Saranka was our realtor, super professional, expert, proactive and always available. She really helped us fantastically throughout the entire purchasing process. What a great realtor, very involved, we highly recommend her! Thank you Saranka and Francis Helmig real estate! We are going to enjoy our beautiful home.

Had a very pleasant collaboration with Saranke from Francis Helmig Makelaardij. Saranke has extensive experience and provides excellent assistance both in the search for the right property and in guiding the actual negotiations regarding –and purchase of– the property!

My husband and I were looking to purchase our first home and to do it in a foreign and competitive marketplace such as Amsterdam was very intimidating. Saranke was recommended to us and we are so grateful for her expertise, professionalism, and dedication to helping us find our home in an incredible turnaround time, within our budget and that fit our needs. She guided us through the entire process from initial search to final key exchange. Could not recommend more highly.

Extremely satisfied with Saranke as our buyer's agent. She was very involved in the search process, easily accessible and took the time to think along with us. After a year of searching without a buyer's agent, we were able to buy a house within a few months with Saranke. During the purchase and bidding process, she advised us well and also in the exciting weeks afterwards she was always available for us.

Contact with the real estate agent went smoothly, while I don't understand anything about figuring out and buying houses. She was able to answer all my questions and was incredibly friendly as well as enormously professional. Thanks to this collaboration, I found a house in a difficult market with minimal stress that I am very happy with.

Saranke was amazing throughout the whole experience. Professional and personal, she made us feel comfortable and confident from beginning to end

Saranke from Francis Helmig Makelaardij was super helpful and always very responsive. She understood my needs and helped me in every possible way and was always very efficient!

Eveline guided me through the entire A-Z process of finding and buying my first home in Amsterdam. She is professional, responsive to all my questions and concerns, gives great insights on the houses during viewings, and handles bureaucratic matters so smoothly after the offer is accepted. I've already recommended Francis Helmig to some friends and colleagues, and will definitely reach out again for my next adventure.

After finding a house and having an offer accepted I was quite uncertain of how to navigate the final stages. Nikki was really helpful with all the processes I needed to make and by answering all of my questions which were not very clear to me in the final purchasing process. It also made everything way less stressful, I would 100% recommend.

Saranke is the best! Very nice to work with and always ready to help!! Super skilled, I can recommend her to everyone!

Thank you Saranke for being the perfect maakelaar. Saranke made sure that all our needs and priorities were taken care of while making a decision. She always guided us in the right direction and helped us negotiate the deal. She is very professional and you can trust her at every step of the process. From the day we met till the moment we signed the deed, she was there for us. Once again thank you Saranke <3

Thanks to realtor Nikki from Francis Helmig Realty, I have recently moved into a beautiful apartment that completely meets my wishes. Nikki helped me excellently during the search process. She has extensive expertise, responds quickly and communicates clearly and pleasantly. I definitely recommend Francis Helmig Realty!

The Francis Helmig agency and Nikki went the extra mile to help us sell our place. We received a lot of good advices and Nikki's professionalism helped us keeping our cool even when facing problems.

Excellent service, experienced 3 moves with this realtor in the meantime. Contact was pleasant and timely.

Good contact, clear agreements and sold in a good way. I could leave much to the broker, which was very nice since I no longer lived in Amsterdam.

We asked Saranke at the last minute to help us with buying a house. She was very flexible and helpful in this regard. Once the purchase was successful, all the paperwork had to be done at a fairly high pace due to a quick delivery date. In addition, Saranke took a lot of work off our hands. All in all, we are very satisfied.

She has an excellent understanding of the market, the city and plenty of patience to help us navigate the system. It's the second purchase we make with Eveline! Highly recommended.

Saranke from Francis Helmig Makelaars has helped and guided me tremendously in the purchase of my first home in Amsterdam. Skilled, collaborative, and always ready to answer questions. The friendly and transparent way of communicating immediately appealed to me. Saranke took over the worry of the purchase, allowing me to navigate the process with confidence. I definitely recommend Saranke!!

Our real estate agent had a difficult job to do and did so with enthusiasm; she took much work off our hands, engaged her contacts where necessary, and was always easily accessible for us as sellers.

Fantastic help with the rental of our property. Always reachable, transparent and good advice on the various possibilities. Ultimately rented very quickly and for a good price.

Fast and smooth consultation, broker brings expertise and realistic tips. Very good collaboration. Definitely recommended.

Sarenka is a fantastic agent to work with. She's fast, knowledgeable and provided great advices. She has such positive attitude which makes what could have been a stressful selling process much more pleasurable. Thank you!

Saranke van den Broek of Francis Helmig Real Estate Agency is a professional and very pleasant to work with, moreover! Highly recommended.

Eveline helped me wonderfully from beginning to end! She kept me well informed beforehand and during the viewings and involved me in the entire process. I really feel that we got the maximum out of it together and would definitely recommend her!

Eveline is very responsive and professional. She helped us a lot during the house search and the acquisition.

Eveline has been super helpful in the entire process, I would definitely recommend Francis Helmig to others!

Eveline Kraan from Francis Helmig Makelaardij is a very kind realtor with great insight into the Amsterdam housing market. With her help and advice, we bought a lovely apartment for our children. She also applied for a residence permit for them. We had planned to rent the house to our children. On Eveline's advice, we also started thinking about another construction, a family mortgage where the house belongs to the children and they borrow from us. She has…

I had a fantastic experience with Nikki in finding my first home. She was patient, understanding, proactive, professional, very informative and reliable. We worked as a team, and that felt so important when we went through this major process for the first time (and not in my own country/language). I couldn't have done it without her and cannot recommend Nikki highly enough. I am really grateful to her.

Nikki, who helped me, was expert, thorough and always reachable throughout the entire process. She understood my wishes and concerns very well and offered pragmatic and supportive guidance. Thanks to her and her colleagues, who arranged and supported everything, the process went very smoothly and pleasantly!

Great experience! Nikki is a pleasure to work with, very kind, professional and she has the best interests of her clients at heart. She was always available to answer all my questions and guided me through every step of the process. Thanks to her, I found and bought my dream house within a month, within my budget. Highly recommended!

Fast communication (also outside of office hours), attention to detail and proactive thinking. Recommended!

Fantastic support during the purchase of my first home from Nikki Blom of Francis Helmig Makelaardij! The pleasant and personal guidance made all steps feel a lot less daunting. Nikki clearly knows what she's doing and is open in her communication. What I appreciated most was the feeling that she really went the extra mile for me. For a next purchase or sale, I would definitely come back here!

Great realtor! Worked with them 8 years ago for the purchase of my apartment, which went so well that I immediately chose them again as the selling realtor. This time I had Nikki as my realtor; she is very professional, has an eye for detail and is empathetic. Selling a house is exciting and a lot of work, but thanks to Nikki it all went very smoothly. She arranged everything and puts you at ease. I would definitely recommend Francis Helmig. Thank you for the good and pleasant cooperation!

Ten years ago, when I bought my house, the experience was already good so it was logical that I would talk to Francis Helmig Makelaardij again this time. The conversation (with Nikki Blom) was immediately very pleasant and the offer was also good. Appointments for viewings (for purchase) were made quickly and there was quick coordination with the sales brokers, and I was truly 'relieved'. The recommended financial advisor was almost available day and night, which was very nice. The expected selling price turned out to be very realistic, so the financial picture of both purchase (as first) and sale (afterwards) also added up and worked out as intended. In short, a very pleasant experience.

Through positive feedback from friends, we ended up at the real estate agency Francis Helmig for the sale of our house. We were very well assisted by Eveline, very professional and knowledgeable. During the process, we were constantly kept informed and remained involved until the last moment. Very accessible and clear in communication. Our experience with Eveline was very positive and we highly recommend the office.

My partner and I had an amazing experience with Nikki. Her eye for detail and knowledge of the Amsterdam market were excellent. She responded quickly, was transparent and always available to answer our questions (even when she was on vacation). Thanks to her negotiation skills, we were able to acquire our dream home within our budget. In short, her professionalism and dedication ensured that the entire process went smoothly.

We were helped enormously expertly by Nikki. Proactive, easily accessible and the contact felt personal. Nikki also gave us confidence that the entire process from searching to signing the deed of delivery was under control. We are super satisfied!

Francis gave very expert advice on the best way to sell my home. All questions were answered promptly and pleasantly, and I was proactively guided throughout the entire sales process. An absolute recommendation for everyone considering selling a property in Amsterdam!

Excellent service. This was the second time I bought an apartment through Francis. She is very professional, expert and involved. She handled everything for me: building survey, valuation report, notary, etc. She recommended a financial advisor and the cooperation went smoothly, with minimal involvement on my part. I can absolutely recommend Francis. Thank you very much for your work!

Assisted by Saranka. Pleasant and expert real estate agent. Transparent about the steps needed for the sale of our apartment in Amsterdam. Sales strategy determined together. Francis Helmig Makelaardij is therefore recommended.

I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from Saranke and the entire team at FHM (including Danielle and Francis themselves). I had been looking for an apartment for two years, and Saranke has turned what is naturally a stressful process into something entirely different. Before we found my current apartment, she narrowly prevented me from a complete disaster - proof that I was at the right address with FHM. I trusted her knowledge, honesty and integrity, and I would recommend her and the entire team at Francis Helmig without hesitation (and I have already done so!)."

Saranke van den Broek from Francis Helmig's agency assisted us wonderfully with the sale of our house. She thinks along well and makes a realistic assessment of the value. A pleasure to work with. With a little pain in our hearts, we are leaving Amsterdam behind for a new adventure.

Many thanks to Francis, Danielle and the rest of the team. They helped us enormously with the sale of our house. We received good advice and were well guided during the process. In a volatile market, you need a pragmatic professional with knowledge and experience to achieve a good result. That is exactly what Francis, Danielle and the team have meant for us. I wholeheartedly recommend the office!

Very bad experience and a nasty taste left from the contact with this real estate agent. A large, hidden defect was not reported, neither verbally nor in writing. After contacting the VvE (Homeowners Association), it turned out that this defect had been known for 10 years(!) Dirty game played to shift the responsibility of 'finding' the hidden defect as a due diligence obligation of the buyer (me). While all defects should initially be reported by an 'experienced' selling real estate agent. After discovery, a very nonchalant attitude and washing hands in innocence. After a time-consuming and energy-draining cat-and-mouse game, it was very difficult to reach a settlement. My advice from this sad experience; save yourself many headaches and choose a reliable real estate agent.

Very bad service! I called to make an appointment at a house where I was very interested and the woman who answered the phone said that there were no more appointments available in this house. I explained to her that the house they had for sale was of great interest to me and she insisted that an appointment was not possible. I asked if she could be put on the waiting list. After ten minutes, the real estate agent I work with called and she immediately made an appointment with him. This is a very serious problem for me because they didn't know who I was. In my opinion, it is very poor service to the landlord to not give people any opportunity to view the property!

Very nice contact, always reachable, even after purchase. Quick process, good price, completely satisfied!

Francis Helmig Realty helped us with both the sale and purchase of our house. We were very pleased with her expertise. During the purchase, she gave us insights that helped us find the right house, especially regarding bidding on a house. During the sale, everything was taken care of. Francis arranged for a professional photographer so that our house was optimally presented. The entire process following that also felt good. We received a nice price for the house. For our next sale and purchase, we will definitely be knocking on her door again!

Francis and her team helped me excellently with the sale of my current home. Short lines and good accessibility. Francis is pleasant to deal with and gave me good advice, very happy with that.

Worse than bad. From the pricing to the customer contact. Sales texts must be accompanied. What a creepy cut and paste job by this broker. Only stayed here due to time pressure.

The best real estate agency in Amsterdam. Francis and her team are very helpful and informative!

Very pleased with this realtor. Everything was handled neatly from beginning to end. She always responds very quickly and has or finds an answer to all questions and helps you with everything. Great!

My experience with Fransis is very positive. She has good knowledge, is pleasant to deal with, thinks well with you and gives excellent advice. Francis goes the extra mile that you expect from a real estate agent. Because she is always available, you quickly get answers to your questions. In short, highly recommended!

Francis is an enthusiastic real estate agent who always goes the extra mile for her clients. No fuss, 'what you see is what you get'. And that's how it should be. She gives excellent advice and handles things quickly and professionally.

I engaged Francis Helmig as both a sales and purchase broker. My apartment in Amsterdam was sold for a good price, and I bought my new house well below the asking price!

Francis quickly performed an appraisal for me for my financing. Very pleased with the correct and very fast processing, so that the delivery could proceed on time.
