Kalwij Vastgoed

Sjoerd really knows what he is doing so he was very helpful during the process of finding a home. We are very thankful to all of his help.

Good, expert and personal service! Exactly what you're looking for in a real estate agent.

Top realtor. Helped perfectly from A to Z. Ready for anything. Clear and helpful in everything.

We are absolutely pleased with the experience of collaborating with Sjoerd. From the very beginning, he was incredibly supportive, expert and attentive to every detail. He accompanied us to all viewings, pointed out important aspects that we would otherwise have missed and gave valuable advice throughout the entire process. He is not only very professional but also a very pleasant person to communicate with; he is always ready to help and answer any questions. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to find and buy our dream house, where we are now living with great pleasure. We cannot thank him enough and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced real estate agent!

Sjoerd is very pleasant and clear in the contact we've had with him. Advisory, clear strategy and always available for questions. Perhaps most importantly, he gives personal attention to his clients and is very approachable in communication. In addition, he has a lot of knowledge about the housing market and takes you along in this. We would recommend Sjoerd to everyone.

Sjoerd is a super friendly, helpful, and reliable realtor. He's always ready to assist you and is always reachable. He handles things quickly and neatly.

Personalized service and expertise that is broadly applicable to the market. In addition, the price is also great!

Only good feedback. A good team that complements each other well. Achieved a more than good result under high pressure.

Fantastic realtor! We are very happy with him! We recommend him to everyone! Customer-focused and calm!

Friendly and very knowledgeable realtor who listened to us very well. Sjoerd takes everything out of your hands and is always ready for you, even after the purchase.

The process went very well from start to finish. Both the initial consultation and advice, as well as the support during the sale, were experienced as very positive.

We were fortunate to have Sjoerd as our real estate agent. Before we contacted him, we had a bad experience with another agent, so we know for sure how choosing the wrong person can affect your apartment hunting adventure. From the very first phone call, we were absolutely charmed by his calmness, politeness and attention to detail. He asked all the necessary questions, explained the entire process and made sure we understood all the steps. From the beginning, we felt like we were in very good hands. That was a huge relief: the whole process of buying an apartment is enormously stressful, you absolutely want to get as much help as possible from everywhere; Doubting your real estate agent can make things even worse. Once we started actively searching and applying for viewings, Sjoerd did his best to be present at all the viewings. Because we had little to no experience buying property in Amsterdam (and in the Netherlands), we didn't know what to look out for when assessing the apartment - things like the quality of building materials, the quality of floors/pipes, the dates of the last renovations, Earthpatch details, asbestos, etc. - Sjoerd discussed it all with us, drew our attention to the most important points and explained what it would involve to repair/change/etc. During the bidding process, Sjoerd helped us choose the right bid so that we didn't overbid more than necessary. Sjoerd handled communication with selling agents, helped us with technical inspections, introduced us to a good notary - in short - was with us at every step. Again, we cannot stress enough how much of a relief it is to be able to focus solely on the search itself, without dealing with all the other details for which you would otherwise have to work hard to master things. We really *can't* say anything negative about our experience with Sjoerd. We will recommend him to all my friends and colleagues. If you are reading this and looking for a real estate agent in Amsterdam, definitely choose Sjoerd, he is simply the best there is!

We got very lucky to have Sjoerd as our real estate agent. Before contacting him we had a bad experience with another real estate agent, so we definitely know how choosing a wrong person can affect your apartment hunt adventure. Starting from the initial call we got absolutely charmed with his calmness, politeness, attention to the details. He asked all the necessary questions, explained the whole process, making sure that we do understand all the steps. We got the feeling that we are in very…

I've known Sjoerd (Kalwij Vastgoed) for 8 years and highly recommend him as a very knowledgeable realtor. During this time, he has represented me on the purchase of my Amsterdam apartment, property management and now the sale. He is professional, efficient and will give his honest perspective. I was lucky to find Sjoerd and it has been a pleasure working with him!

Sjoerd, you are a star! Both our purchase and sales broker. Clear communication, always reachable even during his vacation. He knows what's up and takes action; sometimes I thought again when he called for a signing somewhere… There you go again…. !! But now that everything is settled, we’re going to miss you!! I recommend you to everyone! Thanks star!!

He is easily accessible and has an ear for comments and questions. He connects and is a good sounding board.

Everything went really well, very satisfied! The switch was made quickly and the communication was excellent. I recommend it to everyone!

Sjoerd was amazing! He guided me through every step of the process in a way that was easy for me to understand, and he also kept me calm because I was super nervous about being a buyer for the first time at a market I didn't know. He has incredibly extensive knowledge of the market and the composition of homes in general and is always willing to help. I can wholeheartedly recommend Sjoerd to anyone interested in buying/selling! He is amazing!

The contact went well and the real estate agent handled everything properly. I can definitely recommend him, and for a next sale I will ask him again to guide everything.

Sjoerd is a top realtor, expert, efficient, customer-friendly and service-oriented. It's the third time we have enlisted realtor Sjoerd to guide a sale. We are very satisfied with him. Truly recommended!!!

Sjoerd was excellent: calm and composed throughout the entire process. He has the ability to quickly adapt to your preferences and find homes that match them. Another remarkable quality is that he remains the same on the first day as during the four-month house hunt, and he never pressures you to bid on a property that doesn't meet your requirements. Finally, he enjoys all respect in the industry, and his colleagues rate him very highly. Sjoerd is a real recommendation.

Sjoerd has been a wonderful support in buying our house in Amsterdam. As foreigners in this tough market, it would have been almost impossible to do so without his help, knowing that so many unforeseen events took place during the purchasing process. We greatly appreciated Sjoerd's patient, diplomatic and practical experience which made this purchase possible! After meeting several real estate agents, we felt that Sjoerd truly became part of our team, reliable and available throughout the entire journey. Thank you Sjoerd!

I had a pleasant collaboration with Sjoerd, and we are very satisfied with how quickly our house was sold! His service as a real estate agent was of high quality, and we were very happy with it. Sjoerd is absolutely a top performer!

We engaged Sjoerd as a buyer's agent for the purchase of a house in Amsterdam and truly couldn't have done it without him. Even though the market is changing somewhat (not just bidding wars, etc.), the fact that we had Sjoerd, who was always available for questions and gave us countless helpful tips, made everything so much easier (and more fun!). Sjoerd guides you from beginning to end, and since this is our first home purchase, that was very nice. We would recommend him to everyone and despite the fact that a buyer's agent is quite an expense (on top of all the costs associated with buying a house), Sjoerd’s help was worth every euro.

A down-to-earth real estate agent who does what he promises. I would recommend Sjoerd to anyone buying or selling in Amsterdam and the surrounding area!

I really felt like we were doing it together. The sale of my apartment in Amsterdam. I wholeheartedly recommend Sjoerd Kalwij.

A professional, friendly, reliable and kind real estate agent. Always ready to help you. Highly recommended!

Following a previous positive experience, it was logical to engage Kalwij again: short line, quick response, expert advice, in short, highly recommended!

Good communication, we could ask questions at any time and were almost immediately answered, and the explanation of the points in the contract were clear and quickly answered. Very pleasant collaboration!

Sjoerd is really knowledgeable and helped us navigate a confusing market. He is quick to answer questions and also does his research on properties to make sure that we are not exposed to any unnecessary risks. He is super easy to work with

Sjoerd arrived very well prepared for the introduction. With a pleasant approach, he convinced us to ask him to guide the sale of our house. Despite being based in Amsterdam, he has a large network in 't Gooi and knows the area well from his past. Unfortunately, with other real estate agents we did not experience the same commitment and certainly not the knowledge of the market. I can definitely recommend him and should it ever come that far again…

Kalwij provided support throughout the entire process of buying our new house, and Sjoerd's guidance, professionalism, and expertise were invaluable. We are very grateful that we had you on our side and can recommend the true civil service of the company! Ricardo Navas

What a pleasant collaboration we have experienced with Sjoerd. He stands by his word, always honors his commitments and thinks along. Just a nice person who masters his craft. Thank you Sjoerd.

Pleasant business dealings with Mr. Kalwij! Always ensures a smooth and quick handling.

After several disappointments from missing out on various homes, we knocked on Sjoerd's door. Sjoerd is an old acquaintance of mine. We attended the same elementary school class together and then lost touch. I saw the positive reviews about his approach and often thought; 'that will probably be a fluke though?' I must say: He has supported us from the beginning with success and without a moment's regret! Sjoerd helped us with price negotiations for the purchase of the home and much more. Sjoerd is very pleasant to deal with, clear in his communication, honest, always thinks along well and is always easily accessible. We can recommend Kalwij Vastgoed to everyone!

Sjoerd has a great deal of knowledge, works very precisely, is highly involved and always easily accessible. If you want to sell your house, he's the right address for you!

I already knew Sjoerd through the football club and acquaintances. Always found him very approachable and pleasant. And saw that he was doing well as a real estate agent. Via here then also a small step to contact him. And that hasn't done us any harm! Together with Sjoerd, my girlfriend and I sold our houses and bought a new house together. Very important during these important steps in our lives together that you can go through this professionally but also personally with your real estate agent. A very pleasant collaboration from beginning to end, where we could and still can consult Sjoerd at all times. We will definitely recommend Sjoerd to all our friends, family & acquaintances if they are selling/buying in Amsterdam / ‘t Gooi. And of course, we will also consult Sjoerd again when we do something in the purchase or sale again. But we don't think about that for now. First enjoying our house together.

Sjoerd has helped us twice with buying and selling and I can honestly give a rating of 100%, he was very communicative and kept us informed about any changes in the process, excellently assisted with the purchase of our new home and was absolutely amazing in marketing our old house, from photography to advertising. He amazed us by getting 25 viewings in 1 week and taking all the stress away from us, he kept us informed about expectations regarding delivery etc. If you are looking for a great real estate agent then Sjoerd is the right choice.

For our wish (a spacious family home in or around Amsterdam with a garden), we enlisted the help of Sjoerd Kalwij. With success and without a moment's regret! Sjoerd helped us with price negotiations for the purchase of the property and gave advice on renovation, appraisal, permit, mortgage, construction deposit, technical inspection, notarial contracts, and so on. Buying a house was our first time, and it felt very nice that Sjoerd thought along about everything and anything. In addition, he is pleasant to deal with, clear in his communication, and always easily accessible. In short, we recommend Kalwij Vastgoed 100% as a buyer's agent.

Sjoerd performed very well as my sales broker. I found it stressful to hand over such a process (I had never worked with a broker before and am not good at letting go), but with Sjoerd, I constantly felt that everything was under control and that things were going well. I found it a pleasant way of working; he works with clear lists so you can easily submit everything, and he kept me well informed. He was able to sell the house well (better than expected). I hoped to sell it to someone with goodwill, and that also succeeded!

Sjoerd expertly guided us as a buyer's agent. He distinguished himself by being no-nonsense, he is warm and friendly, possesses construction knowledge, and actually always responds quickly. And that’s nice because you want to be able to act quickly. We can wholeheartedly recommend his services.
