River Makelaardij

Wij zijn ontzettend tevreden over de verkoop van ons huis aan de Pieter Aertszstraat 59-3. Alana Balk en haar team zijn super servicegericht, hebben uitstekende marktkennis en schakelen razendsnel. Daarbij zijn het ook nog eens hele fijne mensen om mee samen te werken. Ons huis was binnen no-time verkocht, en nog voor de prijs die wij voor ogen hadden. Absoluut een aanrader!

Super vriendelijk, behulpzaam, altijd bereikbaar. Positief kritische blik, denken echt met je mee! Dank!

Wij kunnen River Makelaardij ten zeerste aanbevelen. Zij hebben zowel ons huidige huis in de Pijp verkocht, als de aankoop van ons nieuwe huis in de Jordaan gerealiseerd. Het contact met onze makelaar Alana Balk en het team van River Makelaardij hebben wij als zeer prettig ervaren. Alana is zeer professioneel, zij zit overal bovenop, is heel prettig in communicatie, gestructureerd en daarnaast ook nog eens een hele fijne persoonlijkheid om mee samen te werken!

Wij zijn erg blij dat we River Makelaardij hebben gevraagd ons te helpen bij de aankoop van een nieuwe woning. Ze hebben zichzelf absoluut terugverdiend met zowel hulp bij de zoektocht als met informatievoorziening en advies, ook door de onderhandeling voor ons te verzorgen, en daarna door officiële documenten mee te lezen en ons op de dag van overdracht te begeleiden. Kortom: van begin tot eind van het traject konden wij op het team van River Makelaardij rekenen. En dat alles op een erg prettige manier. Dankjulliewel!

It is a team of involved and expert professionals at River real estate. They have helped me excellently with the sale of my apartment.

De verkoop werd professioneel aangepakt en het appartement werd vlot verkocht. Er was steeds goede bereikbaarheid voor overleg. Afspraken werden nagekomen.

The entire team at River Real Estate has helped me excellently in the sale of my apartment. They are closely involved in every step of the sales process and work very professionally.

We have engaged River to sell our house on Roosevelt Avenue. Alana and the team did an amazing job, very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend them, 10/10.

I am extremely satisfied with Toni's support during the sale of my apartment. He took the time to explain everything clearly, thought along actively and was always available for questions. The entire process ran smoothly and professionally, and thanks to his dedication the sale went super quickly! Toni works with attention, knowledge and genuine involvement. I can fully recommend him to anyone who wants to sell their home!

The contact with Toni and his team was very good. Short lines, professional, business knowledge and quick feedback! I am very satisfied with River Makelaardij.

Toni and Alana were very nice to work with. They always give expert advice and their honest opinion. During viewings they were critical and helpful for us as a client. We would recommend everyone to work with River Makelaardij.

Professional and reliable company. Definitely exceeded expectations, the flexibility, accessibility, the worry-free experience during the process by actively taking responsibility. Class and unique.

I would recommend River Makelaardij to everyone! Toni helped me immensely with the purchase of my apartment. Thanks to his expertise and professional approach, everything went very smoothly. From the first contact to the transfer, I felt heard and well-guided.

What a waste of time! They invite you to viewings and ask you to make an offer, even though they already have a future tenant lined up. I will never respond to their apartments again - I just wasted an entire week looking for a place where I never really stood a chance!

I made a targeted purchase with the help of River Makelaardij. They have been incredibly helpful in every step of the process. Before the viewing, the real estate agent had already done extensive research and paid close attention to the condition of the house. This allowed me to make a well-considered offer. In addition to their expertise, they are also very friendly and helpful.

Outstanding guidance and successful completion despite challenges We were guided throughout the entire sales process by Alana Balk and Toni Bosman from River Real Estate B.V. – and we could not have wished for better support. Despite difficult circumstances due to a construction issue, they always stood by us with advice and action. Their open communication, dedication, and calm approach helped us immensely to maintain our composure even in tough moments. Thanks to their experience and commitment, the apartment was successfully sold. We are very grateful for the collaboration and warmly recommend River Real Estate.

Alana and her team fantastically helped us with selling our apartment. Alana was involved, easy to reach, and thought carefully along regarding choices and planning. Our apartment was sold quickly to very happy buyers as well. Definitely recommended!

I recently sold my apartment through Elise & Toni and I am extremely satisfied with the cooperation. The communication was always clear and smooth, they responded quickly to all my questions and provided me with expert guidance throughout the entire process. Thanks to their dedication, I felt well-supported and the sale went smoothly. I can wholeheartedly recommend this real estate agent!

Very satisfied with River Real Estate. Pleasant cooperation, always reachable, friendly, competent, and where necessary also critical. Definitely a recommendation!

Very satisfied with River Real Estate Agency. Everyone within the office is readily available and very helpful. I would recommend River Real Estate Agency to everyone.

For the sale of our apartment in de Rivierenbuurt, we chose River Makelaardij, partly because they are well acquainted with this neighborhood. The proposed sales strategy immediately appealed to us and realtor Alana Balk came across as both pleasant and professional during the initial contact. Throughout the entire sales process, communication with Alana was excellent. She was always easily accessible, to the point, and provided expert advice that we were able to follow without any problems. Her colleagues in the office, especially Eline and Ties, were also easily accessible and responded quickly and adequately. Alana engaged a stylist and a photographer who, together with us, ensured a beautiful presentation of the apartment on Funda. Despite the housing stock in our price range increasing rapidly in March 2025, our apartment was sold within a reasonable timeframe (delivery on July 14, 2025), in accordance with expectations, with Alana as an involved and reliable guide. We can wholeheartedly recommend River Makelaardij. The team is experienced, expert, and knows how to guide their clients in a pleasant, non-pushy way.

We sold our house and bought a new one through River Makelaardij and are incredibly satisfied with the entire process. They are easily accessible, customer-focused, and have clear and fast communication. In short, a real estate agent that we recommend!

Really good team, always helpful and guided us really well through the process. Very good knowledge of the market and the neighbourhood.

The realtor and the administrative employee responded quickly and adequately themselves. I was even congratulated on my birthday! That's what I call having an eye for the customer.

Often worked with Ties from River Real Estate Agency, a pleasant and transparent collaboration and very professional!

Eric Warmerdam has a lot of experience. Knowledgeable. Pleasant to work with. Transparent. Back Office is fast and accurate.

Professional and enthusiastic team. I was very well helped and given advice.

I was looking for a real estate agent in Amsterdam and ended up with River Makelaardij. Toni and Eline ultimately helped me excellently and found a suitable apartment within a month. Definitely recommended!

We were extremely well assisted by River Makelaardij BV. The communication was clear, pleasant and professional throughout the entire process. Thanks to their expertise and commitment, we achieved a fantastic sales result. We look back on the collaboration with a very positive feeling!

Excellent very satisfied charming fast and efficient. Definitely recommended.

We really enjoyed working with River. Communication was very smooth and they responded quickly to our questions, as well as the online listing and purchase of our home. We would definitely recommend them!

After having several brokers over, we chose River for the sale of our apartment in the Rivierenbuurt area. Broker Toni distinguishes himself through detailed knowledge of the neighborhood and a good network. In addition, I found the no-nonsense approach with clear advice to be lovely to work with. Toni had a well-thought-out strategy and I followed it confidently with a more than excellent sales result as a consequence. I was completely taken care of by the entire team (Toni, Eline, Max). From initial application to signing the deed of delivery. A pleasant broker that I would definitely recommend and use again.

The sale of my Amsterdam studio was in excellent hands with realtor Eric and Eline in the back office. The entire process was perfectly guided. From the initial consultation to the notary, you can tell that this agency values service and expertise highly. Don't be stubborn but simply choose this realtor if you want to sell your property in Amsterdam.. And no, I don't have shares in this company.. just a very satisfied customer!

I have experienced the very professional service and expertise of Eline and Toni. From the beginning of my interaction with River Real Estate, I was deeply impressed by their in-depth knowledge of the industry, which provided me with valuable insights. My concerns were handled with empathy and understanding, including refreshing clarity in communication. I can wholeheartedly recommend River Real Estate to everyone seeking expert advice.

Toni and his team greatly helped us during our search for a home in Amsterdam. Fantastic and especially honest guidance during the search. I would recommend River Makelaardij to everyone!

Very fine, skilled and friendly assistance from Eric with the sale of my apartment in the Rivierenbuurt district. I wholeheartedly recommend River Real Estate.

River Real Estate has helped me excellently with the sale of my apartment. Eric Warmerdam provided expert and pleasant guidance throughout the entire process. If you have any questions, you can always contact them and will receive a quick answer. The other team members also kept me well informed about the progress. I am very satisfied and can definitely recommend this real estate agency: good coordination, professional and result-oriented.

Very good real estate agency. When selling our apartment, we were excellently assisted by Eric Warmerdam. The property appeared quickly on Funda and was sold even faster. River Makelaardij is truly recommended.

Eline, Max and especially Toni were very helpful in our search for an apartment. They advised us well, explained the details of the Dutch system and patiently answered all my questions. We completed the purchase within two months after the introductory meeting and are satisfied with the result.

They are super professional. First of all, you get an introduction in which they explain how they work. They have done everything they promised. Their software works accurately according to your criteria. They accompany you during viewings. They assess the condition of the property clearly. The whole process took much shorter than I had expected. An absolute recommendation!

Toni from River helped me sell my apartment. He assisted me throughout the process. Giving advice on how to prepare the place and the best strategy to sell the apartment.

We experienced the collaboration with this real estate agent as very pleasant. The communication was smooth and they dared to disagree. Thanks to the valuable advice, we often gained a different perspective on houses that we initially found suitable. Due to the expert guidance, we managed to acquire our dream house within a reasonable time, even in this difficult market.

Toni excellently guided us through the sale of our house. His expertise and experience ensured that the entire process proceeded very quickly and smoothly. We would gladly return to River Makelaardij next time!

The team at River Makelaardij supported me perfectly and very professionally from the initial consultation to signing the deed when selling my Amsterdam studio. I can only warmly recommend the services of this real estate agent.

Property sold quickly and for a good price. Toni and his colleagues are easily accessible, communicate clearly and always friendly. Very pleasant experience!

We were greatly helped during our search for a home in Amsterdam. All involved parties are extremely knowledgeable and make the process clear and transparent. Everyone at River Real Estate is top-notch and would definitely recommend them for your search for a suitable property!

Toni en Eline waren de belichaming van professionaliteit. De Amsterdamse markt is lastig en er is vaak sprake van belangenverstrengeling, maar River Makelaardij was gedurende het hele proces eerlijk en transparant en heeft me geholpen om de aankoop van een appartement soepel te laten verlopen! Ik heb alleen maar lof! Bedankt Toni en Eline en River Makelaardij :)

Unsolicited spam in the mailbox to sell or rent my home, while I have social housing, far too intrusive!

The team of River Real Estate Agency B.V., particularly Suzanne de Bruijn, has excellently helped us with the sale of our apartment. Very satisfied. Recommended.

Een erg vriendelijk team en de professionaliteit is geweldig.

Excellent service during the sale of our apartment. Skilled, no-nonsense, easily accessible.

A reliable real estate agent. They also honored the agreements we made. Good communication and ultimately our house was rented out very quickly. Highly recommended!!!

I sold my house while I was living abroad. Eric Warmerdam and his team kept me well informed at every step and development. A very pleasant collaboration! Quick response. Extensive explanations. Very accessible in communication. Great guy, Eric 😉

They have a fair price and are easy to reach. Ready for you when needed. We are satisfied. Thanks for your help.

Very good experience with this company. I can wholeheartedly recommend real estate agent Suzanne!

We had a fantastic experience with the sale of our house in Amsterdam. Eric and the entire team at River were super professional from day one. We felt that Eric had a lot of experience and a good strategy for our home. The brochure with photos was very well made. The scheduling of viewings always followed our schedule and the communication went very well throughout the entire process. We sold our house within a few days! We highly recommend River Real Estate!

If you want to buy or sell a house, I can wholeheartedly recommend River’s team. Our experience involved searching for a house in this current, crazy market and I can say that the money we spent on them was the best we spent throughout the entire process. It took us 8 months to find the right one. We saw countless houses and always had the support of River's team, especially from Eric, who held our hand and guided us through this complicated maze that the Amsterdam real estate market is. They always told us what the actual value of a house was, what the good and especially the bad sides of each house were, and that took away a lot of stress because it’s such a large amount of money you don't want to forget important things that are not easy to find. They helped us very quickly from start to finish, from organizing viewings, viewing apartments, providing information about other houses for sale in the same neighborhood, the bidding process, all the way to the moment when you finally sit with the notary and shake hands :) In summary: - extremely honest and well-explained costs - fast and good service - experience and knowledge - a human and warm feeling with each team member in such a delicate phase of your life.

The team at River Real Estate did their utmost to sell my house. In addition, I received useful tips from real estate agent Eric Warmerdam regarding the purchase of my new home. Very satisfied.

Excellent help from River with the purchase of my home. Professional, collaborative, but above all honest advice from Toni. I really appreciate that Toni was always accessible to me. Top service also from the staff in the office. Appointments were scheduled taking into account my agenda. Purchasing a 2nd property is definitely also through River!

It was a good experience to work together with River Makelaardij last month. Everything went very quickly and smoothly with their team. Suzanne was very helpful and professional, she gave useful advice and guided us through the entire rental process of the apartment. A real recommendation.

Very professional, friendly and good knowledge!

They were absolutely fantastic with the sale of my apartment while I was abroad, throughout the entire process. No problem or issue whatsoever, very responsive and helpful, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Ik was onder de indruk van deze jongens... ik moet nog wel even rekenen, maar ze waren erg vriendelijk en namen ruim de tijd om met me te praten. 👍👍 …

Eric Warmerdam van River Makelaardij heeft me geholpen bij de verkoop van mijn appartement in Amsterdam, dat hij me een paar jaar geleden ook al hielp kopen. Eric is een betrouwbare, snel handelende makelaar met een goed netwerk en staat altijd klaar om te helpen. Hij is zeer professioneel en heeft bovendien een goed gevoel voor humor.

We experienced Eric from River Real Estate as professional, accessible and pleasant when selling our house. We received expert and realistic answers to our questions. He negotiated excellently.

We are extremely satisfied with River Makelaardij. Eric Warmerdam is a pleasant and knowledgeable person. For some time, he guided us through the purchase of an apartment in Amsterdam/Diemen. Ultimately, with a result that exactly met our wishes and that in the current overheated housing market. We can wholeheartedly recommend this real estate agency.

Mr. Eric Warmerdam is the best realtor of River real estate agency. His team quickly sold my home. The involved employees of River Real Estate are professional and have a warm personality. We would like to recommend everyone to take the services of River real estate agency. Sincerely, Gita & Harry

When we started selling our apartment, we no longer lived in Amsterdam - and then it makes a big difference who you go into business with to guide the sale properly. The people at River Makelaardij really put substance into the word 'to relieve worries'. Of course, you still have to do a few things yourself when selling real estate, but our sales broker, Eric Warmerdam, advised and guided us excellently and we actually didn't have to worry about anything after handing in the keys. The contact was pleasant, smooth and above all very prompt - after all, nothing is more annoying than having to wait long for a response. We also had a few specific wishes and good attention was paid to them. When selling a house in Amsterdam, it really is necessary that you work with a broker who is familiar with all the specific ins and outs of the local market and that knowledge was luckily more than adequately available. We feel that both we and the buyers of our apartment were treated fairly and respectfully and we would like to warmly recommend River and Eric for your next purchase or sale of a property in (the area of) Amsterdam.

Eric from River Makelaardij was our buyer and seller realtor. We couldn't have wished for better service! Eric was always available, expert, and advised and guided us very well throughout the entire process, truly top! I can wholeheartedly recommend River Makelaardij and Eric Warmerdam to everyone!

My apartment was recently sold. Eric is an excellent realtor. Definitely not a nine to five mentality. We also had contact in the evening and on weekends. He works until there is a preliminary sales agreement with a bid. The photos of the house were excellently made. Sold within a week.

Apartment posted on Funda on Saturday with great text and photos. On Monday morning at 10:00 AM, a perfectly acceptable bid above the asking price was received and accepted after consultation with Eric Warmerdam (subject to conditions). The process until transfer was excellently guided by Eric, also fully handled digitally thanks to the notary's cooperation. I shone through absence. Excellent, therefore.

A friend tipped me off to this broker for the sale of my house. I am very satisfied with the communication, their quick action and their market knowledge!

Via River sold my apartment. Very good support during the entire process. Clear communication. Nice web portal where all data, documents and appointments can be found. Easily accessible and quick to respond.

Last month we found our apartment through River Makelaardij B.V. And are very satisfied with the service that was offered to us, especially Toni! Professional, clear, easily accessible and very friendly! Everything went flawlessly and we are very happy with our apartment!

Good service!

My husband and I received good advice when selling our apartment in the Rivierenbuurt, and also when buying our new apartment on IJburg. With Eric Warmerdam and the team of River, we had good experiences. Besides his expertise, Eric has the ability to maintain calm amidst the hectic pace that (sellers) cannot escape during such a period, without losing sight of commercial interests. The costs were more than offset by the end result. Strengths - Expert; - Empathetic and diplomatic; - Supportive and caring; - Easily accessible; - Good sense of timing.

I am very satisfied with River real estate agency. They helped me excellently with the sale and purchase. Real estate agent Eric Warmerdan gives good advice, thinks along with you and provides honest and clear answers to all questions. He clearly has knowledge of the subject, is always available and responds very quickly. In the office, the employees (especially Toni) are also very friendly and helpful, they respond promptly when you have wishes or questions. I definitely recommend this real estate agent especially because they are not those “quick” guys but take the time for you, listen to you and understand what’s going on!

Great experience with River Makelaardij. Received very good assistance from Eric Warmerdam when purchasing an apartment. He is very skilled, provides good advice and has a lot of knowledge. River real estate agency is always easily accessible for questions and/or consultation, even outside office hours if needed. In short, I definitely recommend River Makelaardij.

Excellent assistance from River Makelaardij. Both in the purchase of an apartment in the Staatsliedenbuurt 4 years ago and also the sale of it last year. I have mainly been in contact with Eric Warmerdam. He helped me professionally and is friendly and pleasant to deal with. Friends of mine have also been well assisted by him with the purchase of a house in Amsterdam Noord. All in all, highly recommended!

Almost a year ago again, but very well helped by Eric Warmerdam! In these times of bidding over advice from Eric, we placed a bid below the asking price and immediately bought our house! Still very happy with it. Business-like realtor and professional. Thought along well with us, everything was arranged quickly.

I would like to join Femke van der Hulst, ''Unfortunately very poorly assisted by River Makelaardij B.V., unclear communication and the customer friendliness was far to be desired. I strongly advise against this real estate agency.''

Professional and good real estate agent who distinguishes themselves from others through friendliness, attention, and thoughtfulness. Always easily accessible, even outside of office hours. In short, recommended!

Very satisfied with River Makelaardij. I needed to sell my house quickly and they ensured that this went smoothly in a very adequate and professional manner. Very pleasant to deal with and knowledgeable. Keywords: professional, fast, involved, reliable, easy to reach, pleasant to deal with, knowledge of the subject. I would recommend River without a doubt to everyone.

Great experience with River Makelaardij when selling my house in the Rivierenbuurt area. Mainly had contact with Eric and Steven. Given the enormous demand and limited housing supply currently, it is difficult to determine what exactly the added value of a real estate agent is. But since I wanted to be relieved of all additional sales matters, I was helped pleasantly by Eric. Even reachable after office hours for questions or consultation. As far as I'm concerned, recommended!

I am very satisfied with the services of River Real Estate Agency. Very friendly people and knowledgeable. They helped me greatly with the sale of my old house and the purchase of the new one.

Eric and his entire team were incredibly efficient, effective, and pleasant to deal with regarding our house in the Amsterdamse Rivierenbuurt. As a former real estate agent, I am particularly critical, and during every part of the process, I was pleasantly surprised by Eric's intelligence and initiative. He communicated clearly and concisely and gave us realistic advice about the price and negotiations, as well as during the escrow period. Our buyers worked without a realtor, and he seemed to inspire confidence and also communicate well with them. Because we had already moved out of the city, he did quite a bit of extra work, without any complaints. He was present at all viewings and at various inspections and meetings with the buyers. For sellers in the area, I would wholeheartedly recommend River... they are large enough to handle peak moments in workload but small enough to be thoroughly familiar with their own offerings and the local market.

Unfortunately, very poorly assisted by River Makelaardij B.V., unclear communication and the customer friendliness was far to seek (telephone conversations that were hung up in the middle of a conversation and questions via email that were poorly answered for example). I strongly advise against this real estate agency.

Very bad experience with River Makelaardij BV. Leaving questions unanswered, being rude on the phone for no reason with an abrupt ending, twice(!). Furthermore, also sending emails with strange conclusions without explanation. I advise everyone to look for another real estate agent!

complete, good service with understanding of the matter and good knowledge of the market!!

Dear brokers of Amsterdam

Very satisfied, River helped me with the sale of my house. Good, clear communication and good advice received throughout the entire process.

Het kantoor van River Makelaardij, en met name Eric, heeft ons enorm geholpen bij de verkoop van ons huis. Eric is professioneel en betrouwbaar en stond altijd klaar om te helpen bij eventuele problemen tijdens het proces.

We waren erg blij dat River en met name Eric de stress van onze verhuizing hebben weggenomen. Hij was altijd bereikbaar en hielp ons met de administratie en het papierwerk. Een echte aanrader.

Great experience with River Makelaardij. Very experienced and knowledgeable, they take the time for you, and are experts in the market and everything that comes with it. I wholeheartedly recommend River Makelaardij!

Good and reliable real estate agent in Amsterdam. Specialist of the Amsterdam River District, definitely recommended.
