Housing Experts

I would definitely recommend Housing Experts. Michiel was my point of contact during my two-year rental period; everything went surprisingly smoothly from the viewing to the handover thanks to his friendly support and professionalism.

Excellent service from start to finish! From the moment I started looking for a home, I had excellent communication with this company. During my rental period, they were always easily accessible and responded quickly to all my questions. Check-out went just as smoothly and without problems. A big thank you to Michiel for the excellent service and support!

I am very pleased with how the rental of my house went. From the first contact, everything was arranged professionally and clearly. My wishes were listened to well, and I was kept informed throughout the process. Reliable tenants were found within a short time. The handover also went excellently. The property was handed over in good condition. In short: a pleasant, professional experience from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend this service to others who want to rent out their home.

Response to your response Thank you for your extensive reply. However, I would like to clarify a few things. Not to have a point-scoring discussion about agreements – which I did respect – but to make clear what my review was really about: about the way of communicating, the tone, and the attitude towards me as a tenant. 1. The deposit July's rent had already been paid on June 24th. This has also been confirmed and is visible on the statement. In fact, on June 10th, I indicated in the WhatsApp with Michiel: “When can we hand over? July will be paid anyway.” During the key handover, Michiel, the owner, and I agreed that the deposit would be returned that same afternoon. That didn't happen though. The response I received from Michiel the next day was: “The owner wants to make sure that July has been paid. I can’t check it, my colleague is away for a few days. Hopefully he will respond tonight.” Strange, because normally Michiel sees incoming payments directly. Now he suddenly couldn't, because a colleague wasn't there? It felt unnecessarily vague. As if Michiel still had to get his revenge – like: “You’re waiting for your deposit, I know that, but I’ll make you sweat as a tenant.” A final jab, because you are leaving. The fact that a formal term of 14 days applies may be correct legally, but it is not relevant here. We had made a clear agreement together – and that was not honored. That's what it's about. 2. Early termination Yes, I asked if I could end the contract earlier. That request was rejected – and I accepted that. Subsequently, I had it checked legally whether there was any room for maneuver in the agreements. There wasn’t, and I respected that too. No problem at all. But what's actually wrong with just trying? Isn't that normal in a hectic housing market where double expenses are hitting hard? What bothered me most was this: from your side, there was zero help or brainstorming. Not even when I asked if other properties might be available. All I got was: “I have nothing under 3000 euros.” In short: you simply weren't interested. And that feeling lingered. 3. Damages upon handover I proactively reported two minor damages – one in the attic, one in the living room. At the same time, I asked: “Should I touch it up?” – the answer was: not necessary. The property was otherwise clean and tidy, and July's rent had already been paid. If repairs were needed, there would have been plenty of time for that until July 31st, but the owner wanted to get in, so he also had an interest. The owner could enter his home on June 27th. Presenting this now as ‘goodwill’ while I was being transparent seems a bit contrived. 4. Landlord statement It's fine that a landlord statement has been drawn up. But to call this 'goodwill'? That feels exaggerated. When I asked if Housing Experts could help with finding a new property, the only answer I got was: “I have nothing under 3000 euros.” No help, no suggestions – just a notification. That's not service, that's ticking boxes. 5. Communication and tone The fact that you are available at 7:45 am on weekends is a choice – but that doesn’t detract from my criticism. It concerns the behavior and remarks during the final inspection. Such as: “Simon is certainly colorblind” and “So, Simon has cleaned.” Whether this was meant to be funny or not – it was belittling, unprofessional and inappropriate. The response to my question about the deposit – “I can’t check it, my colleague is away for a few days. Hopefully he will respond tonight.” – is also an example of that. No control, no clarity. Just passing the buck. Finally My review wasn't about the contract or legal correctness. That discussion never happened. What went wrong was on a human level and the way you treat your customer.

I had a very pleasant and easy experience with the team. They were great at finding a house for us, all communication, contracts, etc. were fantastic! I would recommend it to everyone.

It was very easy to follow the apartment assessment process together with Tom, to sign the documents and to handle all the smaller but still mandatory matters. Based on my rental experience in many countries, Housing Experts certainly deserves a rating of 5 stars.

Very good experience, I can recommend their service!

I had a great experience with Michiel and Tom! The process went very smoothly. I was able to move into my home relatively quickly thanks to Michiel's open availability. I can wholeheartedly recommend Housing Experts to anyone looking for their perfect home!

I collaborated with them when I moved to Amsterdam. It was a great experience. Tom made it so easy by dealing with all kinds of situations that I encountered and recommending or resolving things himself. Ultimately, I am certainly happy with the collaboration with him and want to recommend it to everyone to act calmly and expertly.

I rented a house in Amsterdam with the enormous help of Michiel, the best realtor in the city! The process went incredibly fast and we got our house just one week after seeing it on Pararius, and that was all thanks to Michiels availability. We greatly appreciated the way he treated us. He really cares about his clients and even after signing the contract, he helped us with the gas and water connections. I recommend everyone to hire him if you are looking for a home! Best realtor! Thanks again for everything 🙏🏻

Are you looking for an honest and friendly partner to rent or lease a property? You are in the right place. Tom and Michiel are fast, friendly, and have known the market for years. You get your own contact person and because they aren't too big, it feels like you have your own personal partner in your search. I wholeheartedly recommend Housing Experts (and I am not paid for it ;-)).

Very nice and reliable service! And if you have questions, you can always get quick answers.

Michiel and Tom from Housing Experts rented out our house in Diemen. I had a very pleasant experience with both gentlemen. They use a fast, pragmatic approach. The communication is honest and direct. The customer's interests are paramount. I would definitely recommend them.

Housing experts helped me find a fantastic home just outside of Amsterdam. They responded quickly, were efficient and very friendly! I can wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a new home! The best housing agency you can find in Amsterdam!!!

For the 2nd time I rented out my apartment with Housing Experts. The first time was already very efficient, good and friendly, this time even better! Good advice on rental price and market. Diverse range of tenants. It's nice and correct doing business with Michiel. On to the next time!

I would definitely recommend the services of Housing Experts! Michiel and Tom are professionals and very good at their work. They are always accessible, provide good and practical advice, but also listen to people. That makes them very friendly and nice to work with. I have only had positive experiences with them and am satisfied with the tenant and how the entire process went. I would definitely contact them again if I need their services. It was a pleasure :-)

Very impressed with the professionalism, speed and proactivity that Housing Experts demonstrated in every step of the process. These people know what they are doing and have played an important role in finding suitable tenants within a very short time. Great company and a very sympathetic team!

Michiel and Tom provide excellent service. My apartment was rented out in no time. They are knowledgeable, sharp, and efficient. They know the market and exactly what is happening within it. For questions, you can always contact them. Saves a lot of hassle. In addition, they are also very friendly.

Toppers

I want to give Tom and his team a solid 10 for their professional approach. I have now rented out my apartment twice through Housing Experts. They have an excellent network of high-quality tenants. You can safely leave everything in their hands with confidence. From the selection process for finding high-quality tenants to arranging viewings, to reporting check-out and check-in, the entire process is super well managed. Due to their quick working method, my apartment has not had to be vacant for a month. My compliments and definitely recommended to work together with this company.

Nice guys to contact, listen well to what you want, fast, professional, easily accessible, honest, expert! I found it difficult to start renting out my property. They guided me through it incredibly well. They quickly found a good tenant. Very happy with the help of the men!

Very good experience with Housing Experts. Good communication and even better result: our apartment was rented out within a week. We were given the choice of several tenants. Until next time! :-)

Had positive experiences. They are fast, professional and on top of things. Recommended for rental/leasing!

I had a very positive experience with Woonexpert! They are very professional and helpful. Very good and fast communication. I recommend their service 100%.

Smooth rental process, fast communication, friendly and expert real estate agent - a true recommendation!

Never in my life have I done good things with so much energy and speed. I was looking for an agency to rent out my apartment and emailed housingexperts. I received a callback seriously within 5 minutes, on Sunday! With the same speed we scheduled a live appointment, they presented me with well-screened candidates and rented out my apartment. Truly in no-time and with an explosion of (only positive) energy everything was arranged from A to Z. I saw Tom once. I mainly did business and had contact with Michiel. What energy, speed, positivity and quality! Michiel looks from the perspective of both the landlord and tenant, honest and realistic: price / quality in balance! Unprecedented class as far as I'm concerned. And I can tell you that I am critical. I would definitely recommend housingexperts to friends.

Michiel from Housing Experts has helped me enormously in arranging the rental property I'm currently living in! He is professional, works very quickly and decisively. He understands the perspective of both tenant and landlord and ensures that everything is properly arranged for both parties. I would definitely recommend him to friends and acquaintances!

Michiel and Tom quickly rented out the property. The goal is to rent it out, and you can tell – they know the market; with professional photos, they place listings within their network, deliberately screen candidates, and come up with enough and sufficient good candidates. Even during the pandemic, the property was rented out in no time. Highly recommended.

Excellent collaboration with flexible service as promised

Housing Experts reacted immediately to my request to rent out my apartment. They made professional photos and placed them on multiple websites (international and local) within 2 working days. They guide interested tenants with a good sense of the interests of both the landlord and the potential tenant, saving time for all parties. I would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Very good and pleasant experience with Michiel and Tom. Fast, expert, and clear!

Michiel and Tom absolutely distinguish themselves from the countless other real estate agents out there! This is due to their professionalism, integrity, ownership, and they do everything possible to rent out your property as quickly as possible. And I know that from experience, successfully rented twice within no time! Also important to mention is the strict screening process that the gentlemen use when it comes to providing candidates. Top company!

I had a very good experience with Michiel from Housing Experts. Very responsive, professional and caring. He arranged everything smoothly and efficiently. I am very grateful for his help. Highly recommend!

They were fast and communicated very well with us. We could always turn to them for big and small questions and received an immediate answer. Very nice!

Property rented through Housing Experts. They are very accessible and respond quickly. Promises are kept. Very professional and accurate. Nothing to complain about.

Had a great experience with Tom and Michiel. Even though it was turbulent times in light of the Covid-19 developments, the gentlemen were professional and used their expertise and knowledge to rent out my apartment very quickly. On the first day, Housingexperts found 6 interested potential tenants, resulting in a verbal agreement within 24 hours. Can recommend it to everyone, thanks again guys!

Good contact with Michiel and Tom. Professional handling of matters, it's good to know that you can go somewhere where quality is delivered at high speed.

Very satisfied with the excellent service from Tom and Michiel. They think along with you and found tenants for a limited period in a short time. They are easily accessible and keep their appointments. I recommend the services of Housing Experts!

Michiel and Tom know the market. They are easily accessible and give you personal attention. They quickly and adequately found good tenants for us. We are very satisfied with their mediation. A recommendation for potential landlords.

Very satisfied with the service of Tom and Michiel! They are always reachable, keep their promises and are just two very pleasant people to work with! I would absolutely recommend them when it comes to renting out your property in Amsterdam! Thanks Housing Experts!

Tom and Michiel quickly and successfully rented out our home. It's very pleasant working with them and we are happy with the service, as we live abroad ourselves.

I had a very good experience with Michiel from Housing Expert. He responds quickly and managed to rent out my house within a week to an Italian young expat couple. Now, after a month, I am very satisfied with the choice of tenants. I wholeheartedly recommend Housing Expert.

Tom and Michiel are very good guys and take their work very seriously. They give you the feeling that your home and rental wish is their main priority and also receives it. My apartment was rented out in no time to decent people. Very satisfied with them.

Tom and Michiel truly have a passion for their craft and found the overall experience both professional and welcoming! I can highly recommend them, as they give their honest opinion, think along with you, and deliver quality work throughout the entire process! Thanks again to both of you!

Tom and Michiel really know what they're doing. They understand the market and have a good grasp of business matters. In addition, they think along with you regarding all the ancillary issues that come with renting/leasing a property. You also notice with Tom and Michiel that (in this case, when leasing a property) it’s not about the 'quick deal,' but about a good match between landlord and tenant. Even if that means the process may take a bit longer. All in all, a reliable and pleasant partner to work with! Thanks!

Effective, efficient, really understand what you need, communicate in a professional manner, respond quickly, keep appointments down to the last detail and give you as a customer the feeling that you are important. Complete outsourcing. Thanks Michiel and Tom for this TOP experience!

Michiel and Tom are 2 professionals with the right ‘housing expertise’. They helped me rent out my house in Amsterdam for a longer period of time. They are reliable, fast and service-oriented. They arrange everything needed for a smooth rental process. I can certainly recommend them.

We have viewed many houses with many brokers, but Housing Experts were absolutely the best. Michiel helped us to examine the house down to the details and understand whether it met our wishes. When we decided to make an offer, he helped us with that and quickly produced all the documentation for the contract. Subsequently, he helped us review all bureaucratic documents and ensured that the check-in was done accurately. We would absolutely recommend this agency: they really care about people and their needs

I (re)cognize Michiel and Tom as two people with a heart for the matter, which has proven itself several times when I asked for advice.

Michiel and Tom are solid, reliable, and good partners to find the right people or expats to rent your apartment. They are transparent, honest, and relaxed. They keep you informed at all times. Next time I will definitely do business with them again.

This is the real estate agent you need in Amsterdam! You actually want two things from a real estate agent: speed and good communication. Well, these guys are very good at that. Where 2 other agents took a month, they arranged it in a week. Within a day I was on Funda and had 6 viewings in my agenda. Moreover, they really take the work off your hands; you don't have to worry about anything anymore.
