TWM Makelaardij Amsterdam

Excellent experience! Good price indication, accurate, beautiful presentation and shows a lot of involvement. Very nice. Highly recommended!

Expert and smooth guidance and handling. Took a lot of work off our hands as heirs during the sale. Absolutely reliable!

I am not the type of person who leaves bad reviews, and I even feel bad doing this now, but I hope to spare someone else from my situation. I will go into more detail below, but in short: poor advice from TWM has cost me at least €50,000, and the situation is still ongoing. I hired TWM to help me buy a house in 2021. If I had written a review then, it would have been 5 stars. The agent I worked with was extremely helpful and communicative. As an expat, I felt very reassured. Ultimately, I started looking in the Zaanstad area. TWM let me know that this wasn't their primary working area, but that it wouldn’t be a problem to help me find something there. Houses in Zaanstad of a certain age are known to require foundation repairs, and it was made very clear from the start that I could NOT afford foundation repairs, and therefore had to avoid buying a house where this was needed. Ultimately, I found a property nearby that I really liked... but the house was slightly tilted, which again indicated foundation problems. I raised this with the agent, who said there was no special reason for concern, but that a technical survey would certainly reveal this. The technical inspection was carried out by an inspector recommended by the agency. In the report, he stated that there didn't seem to be any particular reason for concern within the foundation; that the house was obviously tilted, but he noted nothing abnormal. He also indicated that a specific foundation report could tell us more, but that he did not deem it necessary. I contacted the agent again and asked to be sure about the foundation problem. Again, I was told there was no reason for concern. I asked the agent about a suitable offer on the house, and he approved the offer I wanted to make and said it was a good offer on the house. Everything went well, I bought the house and moved in. Afterwards, my situation unexpectedly changed and by the end of 2023 it became clear that I would be moving out of the Netherlands. I knew the timeframe was quite short, so I just hoped to break even when selling the house. I contacted TWM again to handle the sale, because I had such a positive experience with them previously. Then it became clear that the advice they gave me when buying the house was poor. As soon as we started selling the house, every potential buyer mentioned fundamental concerns. What was 'no problem' became the reason why nobody wanted to buy the house... and since I have only lived in the house for 2 years (November 2021 - November 2023), I can hardly believe that the foundation has deteriorated from 'no reason for concern, perfectly normal' to 'IMMEDIATE RENOVATION REQUIRED' in such a short time. As of the moment I am writing this, the house is for sale for €50,000 less than what I paid, and I still cannot get an offer for that amount. This is the minimum amount I can accept and pay off the mortgage; lower, and I will still be making mortgage payments. Because TWM seemed so serious and sincere otherwise (this is why I still give them 2 stars instead of 1), I would like to believe this was an honest mistake. I spoke with several other real estate agencies, and those who did NOT live in Zaanstad seemed to agree with TWM. On paper, they felt the house should be able to sell without problems for that price. Only a local Zaanstad agent told me otherwise. So I suspect this is a case where they don't know the local area, and nothing malicious. That said, I made the purchase and offer based on their recommendation, and hired them to ensure I paid a fair price, as I have no real estate knowledge. And I can only say that it was a failure on their part, even if the mistake was honest. This has derailed my life, and the only loss TWM suffers is the time it takes to sell the property. That is probably still covered by their discount on the generous offer I initially made on the house, based on their recommendation.

Fast appraisal, thorough investigation

We are extremely satisfied with the speed and good communication with which all assignments were executed.

Our agent, Wesley, always gave us great and honest advice and helped us in every step of the process. We highly recommend this agency.

Valuation for purchase went great!

We are very satisfied with TWM real estate agency. Everything went as wished. The high reviews really do check out! We didn't have any prior experiences with realtors and found this company via the internet. We can wholeheartedly recommend Edith and her team! The process was very smooth, and we received professional advice. Especially, the process also proceeded without too much stress. This is not a given in the current housing market.

This is the third time when we worked with TVM, specifically with Wesley. Choosing them another time is the best proof of our opinion about this company. We received continous support, comprehensive guidance and expertise. These are the people who go beyond to achieve the best results for you. I am really happy to recommend TVM !

A realtor who listens well to you regarding the appeal factor of the property and isn't price-driven to market the property correctly, which has accelerated the sale.

Very nice realtor to work with! We have already had 2 appraisals done by Tim and that was done very well and expertly. The report was ready quickly and very complete.

Wesley from TWM was very patient and kind with us throughout our year long search for our first home. I can’t thank him enough! He helped us in any way in our journey by asking the right questions from us, sharing honest opinions, sharing many tips, and more.

Very knowledgeable and provides great service. Helpful in organizing everything that we needed help with.

Valuation report was super fast in the email. Fast service.

We are happy that we chose this broker. Tessa is a good skilled broker, listens well and communicates clearly and quickly. Hats off!

Broker with expertise and involved in all aspects of the sale. Advice and guidance go beyond just selling the property.

TWM real estate agents are very knowledgeable from the first contact. No unrealistic expectations are created and the guidance of the entire process has gone very well, both professionally and personally. We had both the sale of our old house and the purchase of the new home guided by TWM real estate agents to our great satisfaction. Realistic and therefore favorable amounts were achieved in the purchase and sale.

Wesley is very knowledgeable and great! Would use his services again if needed in the future. He was always prompt and professional throughout the process.

Tim from TWM Real Estate helped me with the valuation of my property. He provided excellent custom service and supplied me with all necessary information. I received the detailed report that same day.

Excellent work and very fast!

As an expat navigating the complex real estate world, I couldn't have wished for better agents than Edith and Tessa. They were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. From providing valuable guidance on house prices to being present at every viewing, their dedication was clearly visible. The expertise of Edith and Tessa proved invaluable in identifying potential issues with houses before placing a bid, allowing me to make accurate offers. They also gave me extensive information about different neighborhoods, enabling me to make informed decisions. Even after I had moved out of town, when I was looking for a house, their support continued, which demonstrated their commitment to their clients. Most importantly: they helped me secure a good house in a great location at a fair price. I highly recommend Edith and Tessa to anyone needing exceptional real estate services!

We would like to express our thanks to the team at TWM Makelaardij for all their help with the purchase of our first house in the Netherlands. We have been living in the Netherlands for less than a year and are heavily reliant on the support of others to achieve our goals. We appreciate their kindness, transparent communication, great sense of humor, and answering our questions. They gave us an in-depth analysis of the property we were interested in, explained how the Dutch real estate system works, guide us through the purchase agreement, and assist us with visits to the property.

We had a great experience with the company. The agents are very helpful and understand what the buyer is looking for. The support team is quick with their communication and any questions we have. We found our apartment in a significantly short time. Thanks to the team!

Tessa was wonderful to work with. She took care of everything when I moved out so I didn't have to go back until the final inspection. Their English was great and many of the documents they provided me were pre-translated to English to make life easier for me.

We want to express our gratitude for all their help in purchasing our first home in The Netherlands. We’ve lived in The Netherlands for less than a year, and we rely heavily on the support of others to achieve our goals. We appreciate their kindness, transparent communication, nice sense of humor, and answering our questions.

I had been struggling finding a house for months myself and previous agent. This time with TMV is the best I can ask for!

We are very positive about TWM, needed an appraisal. The appointment with Tim was quickly made and 1 day after the appraisal was done we already received the signed report digitally.

Great support, informative and very responsive.

As newcomers to Amsterdam, we sought assistance in navigating the real estate market and identifying the ideal neighborhood for purchasing our apartment. The support we received from them was invaluable, guiding us through the entire process and ultimately leading us to our perfect home.

TWM Realty is a very pleasant and fine company for your appraisal, and a very pleasant contact......

Last year, we used the services of Wesley when purchasing our apartment in Amsterdam Oost. Wesley was extremely knowledgeable and had valuable advice, which we greatly appreciated as we came from Australia and were not familiar with the real estate market. He excelled at communicating, ensured that we visited open houses, and quickly arranged for property reports. He made sure to clearly communicate and manage our expectations. Ultimately, Wesley helped us buy exactly the type of property we were looking for, without overpaying. We are very grateful to Wesley and the team at TWM Makelaardij, I would highly recommend their services.

Exceptionally fast! The request was sent on Monday, the evaluation was ready Wednesday afternoon. Very friendly and pleasant communication! Highly recommended!

The process was very simple; they were very helpful, kept me informed of all the steps and met the deadline. They were also very friendly.

Professional, collaborative and friendly.

Highly professional execution of the appraisal. Quick and skilled. I can definitely recommend TWM Real Estate!

Very good, fast and expertly assisted!

Real estate agency with patience and an ear for the wishes of its clients. My property was sold quickly with a result above expectations. Wesley, Tim and Richard. Thank you!

Fast and professional

Fast, good and friendly!

Great help received. Received a lot of advice on how to renovate the house properly so that it became a very current property, and which was ultimately sold for top dollar!

Neat and friendly and everything explained clearly

Excellent service and a careful approach;

Wesley Hoeve is a fantastic professional. He guided me and my husband in finding and buying an apartment in Amsterdam, making this potentially stressful process run as smoothly as possible. He visited the properties with us, gave clear and realistic market advice about each property, and helped negotiate the best conditions for us. He is not only very skilled in his work, but also a friendly person, easy to get along with. We can only wholeheartedly recommend him and TWM.

I am very satisfied. Contact was made quickly after the request and an appointment was scheduled. A valuation report in hand within 3 days.

The entire process was excellently arranged and guidance as well. I recommend Tim and colleagues to everyone.

These boys recently helped me with the purchase of an apartment in Amsterdam. That was a difficult project. We had 39 viewings, 9 offers and countless viewing opportunities. They filter the properties and only suggest what is relevant to me. Moreover, they send us homes that are not yet listed on Funda. Only the next day they become available on funda. The real estate agent (I worked with Wesley) went with us to almost all viewings and gave us a lot of valuable insights and feedback about properties. I think that saved us a lot of money (for renovations). They always respond and are always in contact. I really enjoy our collaborations. 100% recommend!

Our experience with Maatwerk and TWM real estate agency is very positive. We needed a valuation report within a short timeframe, and the report was delivered within 6 days. The assessment was carried out thoroughly; we even learned new things about our neighborhood through the environmental research included in the process. Communication also went smoothly. Enormous thanks for the work done!

Very good experience. We bought our first house with the help of Edith. Thanks Edith and TWM team

Great office, helped us well with buying a house. The internal staff is very friendly and the real estate agents have more than enough expertise. Highly recommended!

Professional, high-quality and responsive service.

Recently, TWM Real Estate helped me evaluate a new construction project. I am very impressed with their expertise, their efficiency and their responsiveness. They always provide highly timely, very professional, objective, accurate and complete information. For future projects, I would gladly collaborate with TWM Real Estate!

Wesley was a friendly and great help, providing me with good insight on the real estate market and things I should look out for in the apartment.

We have sold our house through TWM Makelaardij for the 2nd time. Our experience is excellent guidance and especially thinking along during the sale. We are very satisfied with the accurate and good advice from Tim and Tessa. Definitely recommended!!!

Tim is excellent. Perfect guidance and nothing is too much trouble. The selling price was, for me, above expectations and everything was arranged quickly. A great real estate agent.

Edith and colleagues are friendly and expert. It is also nice that the energy label can be arranged with them.

Tim is a very pleasant contact person. He really listens and can therefore respond well to your wishes. His advice is professional and can therefore be taken over without question, but if you want input or something else, he is open to that too. I am truly relieved with the sale of the house.

I was regularly kept informed. I didn't need to ask for anything, everything went very smoothly, friendly and expertly. A definite recommendation.

I was excellently guided through the sale, everything was explained in detail, we had a lot of contact and she helped me wonderfully through the photoshoot. When the house was sold, I only heard later that the goods “for resale” were already included in the price, so I had to check that in my file for the sales contract. I didn't hear this during the sale. A bit unfortunate because I already had an appointment regarding the items with another resident. So…

Tim helped us perfectly. He knows the market well, is proactive in communication, and takes you through the entire process.

Contact with the real estate agent went very smoothly. Tim was flexible and available for all our questions. A nice bonus was that he is very familiar with the neighborhood, which certainly helped in determining the price. Highly recommended!

I couldn't be happier with Wesley's service! Without his advice and support, I don't believe I would have managed at all to buy the property I wanted. If you are interested in buying a property, getting his support is money well spent.

Once I found the property to buy, TWM Makelaardij was very quick in supporting me in preparation of the offer and purchase price and once the offer accepted, TWM Makelaardij supported me with all following tasks very efficiently.

I was very happy with the choice of TWM Makelaardij. Wesley has been very friendly and proactive in his communication during the whole buying process. He has a lot of knowledge and expertise in the housing market and provided clear insights and suggestions.

Tim helped us very well, is very friendly and clear. He knows the market well, gives good tips for the Funda photos and is fully involved in the entire process from beginning to end and always accessible for questions. Definitely recommended!

Very expert and customer-friendly. A real recommendation.

Good and solid valuation report. Skilled and friendly

TWM Realty is a breath of fresh air within the world of Amsterdam real estate agencies. They are very skilled, know what they're talking about, prioritize their clients’ interests above all else, and always honor their commitments. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your service! Everything went great. Best, Kseniya

Good communication and valuation. In addition, Tim is pleasant to deal with. Recommended!

Excellent service! Accurate, fast and good for a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

We have used the services of TWM real estate twice. Once for the purchase of a home and recently for an appraisal. We are very satisfied with the advice given and the service provided. Communication runs smoothly. Definitely recommended!

Tim fantastically helped us with the purchase of our dream home. In this overheated market, he managed to buy our house for a good price and sell my apartment for a nice price. He helped us with the right advice, always taking into account our wishes and requirements. As a result, the purchasing process went very smoothly. Highly recommended!

Friendly and professional, I can wholeheartedly recommend this company!

Get an appraisal carried out by TWM. Very friendly appraiser Tim. Very professional and clear. Definitely recommended.

They helped me twice with the valuation of my house, during purchase and sale. Both times they were there within a week. Despite the fact that I couldn't be present once, that wasn't a problem. Good communication and fast service!

We bought our house in 2019 with the help of TWM Makelaardij and we are very happy that we have engaged them again for the sale and the purchase of our new home. Top presentation, nice real estate agents, the colleagues at the office are easy to reach and nothing is too much. Recommended!

Very good service. As an expat, they are very patient to explain everything in English. 100% recommended.

No weeks-long waiting times. Nice and proactive and quickly the appraisal report on the doormat. Pleasant contact, friendly man.

I appreciated the fast and detailed service.

Wesley and his team helped us and we are now homeowners. Everything went smoothly and easily by working with professionals.

An appointment could be scheduled in the short term. The appraisal itself was carried out efficiently and professionally. The report was comprehensive, of good quality and ready quickly.

Very happy with TWM Makelaardij! Made an appointment with this realtor on the recommendation of friends. Tim came across as a pleasant, strong ethical, friendly person. Himself and at the same time a good businessman. In addition to real estate brokerage, the technical knowledge and general tips are also strongly present. Excellent memory! The sale was more than a year ago. It went smoothly, well above expectations and everyone was happy! Excellent experience. You can fully trust them here. Could there be an extra star? :)

If I could, I would like to give 6 stars. Strong recommendation for people who want to buy their own home.

Richard and Tim, good expert appraisal, pleasant collaboration, also knowledgeable about greening and towards zero on the meter all around! Marc

Tim was fantastic! Super responsive, helpful, clear... everything went incredibly smoothly and every question was answered quickly and clearly. I had a very positive experience. Would highly recommend it!

Well and quickly assisted by Tim, Richard and colleagues. The appraisal I had done was quickly started, and proactively they have already collected a large part of the documents. Also, Tim has a lot of knowledge about my neighborhood Zeeburg / Oost.

Tim and his colleagues are open, honest, expert, and willing to share their experience and insight, and always do what they say they will do. Unique.

Compared to other brokers, we noticed with Tim that he really is a top performer who doesn't just put the house online and leave it at that, but truly does his best to get the most out of it for you. In my opinion, therefore, highly recommended and also our broker in the future when needed again . 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 …
