Visch & van Zeggelaar

Heartfelt thanks to Lisanne and Maxime of Visch & van Zeggelaar. In the very competitive housing market of Amsterdam, their service was personal and understanding. Ultimately, we did not rent through Visch & van Zeggelaar because the available apartment's location was not suitable for our daughter. Even after we rejected the offer, they remained friendly and professional. From my own experience, I can say that it is almost impossible to speak with a real person during your search for a home. I greatly appreciated that Visch & van Zeggelaar maintains a personal approach.

A fantastic experience with Bob from Visch and van Zeggelaar! Super good advice, always reachable, reliable and attention to detail. This made the process run smoothly and successfully. For a worry-free sales process with a beautiful result, this is recommended!

Very satisfied with our experience with Visch & van Zeggelaar! Both the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new house went smoothly and professionally. Expert advice and easily accessible. A reliable and engaged real estate agent who thinks along with you. Definitely recommended!

Lisanne helped me sell my house in De Pijp. For me, it was the first time I had sold a house, so everything was new and exciting. She really helped me and guided me through the entire process. Lisanne is definitely a very nice person. She thinks carefully about how to best present the property during viewings, came to the property a little earlier each time to straighten things up, and called me after each day to give me a recap of how everything had gone. When my house was sold (for an amazing amount), Lisanne helped the buyer (who didn't have a real estate agent) with the entire purchase process. That was very nice for him, but also for me because it ensured that everything went smoothly and quickly. I would recommend Lisanne and Visch & van Zeggelaar to everyone when you want to hand everything over and be sure of a good amount for the sale of your house!

We are very disappointed with our experience renting through this agency. They insisted that we sign the rental agreement before the apartment was actually ready, resulting in us living in various uninhabitable rooms for five months. Although a small discount on the rent was offered, this did not reflect the extent of the inconvenience, stress and lack of safety we experienced. Even now, we are still arranging all coordination with the contractors they hired. These contractors have consistently been unreliable and unprofessional. The quality of the work is poor, many finishes were cheaply executed and some pose a real safety risk, particularly concerning the electrical installation. It felt less like being tenants and more like managing a renovation project. Unfortunately, we are not the only renters who have had this kind of experience with this agency. If we could do it again, we would not choose to work with them again. We strongly advise others to be cautious. It is truly unfortunate.

Expert advice on the market and the strategy to follow. Olivier and his team have greatly relieved us and helped us. All in all, a successful process!

Highly accessible and empathetic person with the right skills for his profession. Excellent at translating customer wishes and finding objects that suit this client.

Good and clear communication with Olivier Schel. Always available for consultation or questions, also in the evenings or on weekends. Good strategy advised for the sale. We followed this with very good results and a sales yield in accordance with the expectations of the realtor.

From initial contact to handover, a very good experience with Visch & van Zeggelaar. Highly recommended.

This must be a joke, we came here to ask for some help because the online process is a little difficult for us (it should be for some people) and they didn't even try to help, no, everything online, super unprofessional

Stanley was very helpful throughout the entire process. We are very happy with our choice!

I had a terrible experience with this office and I am deeply shocked by their lack of customer service. As a former broker, I cannot imagine that such ignorance can exist in an industry where professionalism should be a priority. The communication with them is poor and I felt, despite numerous emails and phone calls, completely ignored. Yesterday I was promised a call back, but to my astonishment this did not happen. It is clear that they have little respect for their customers and I would not recommend them to anyone. 'Busy' is no excuse. Again, I myself worked in brokerage and there is no explanation for such behavior.

The realtor sold my house while I was abroad. The communication was perfect and the entire process went smoothly.

The process of renting an apartment through Visch & Van Zeggelaar was frustrating and unclear. You expect a reliable and structured approach from a real estate agent, but instead you only get confusion and wasted time.

Rosalie is truly amazing! She commits 10000% for you, thinks with you, and is always available. Furthermore, very important: she is honest! No dreamy scenarios or wishful thinking. 10/10 recommend!

Excellent contact. No effort was too much. Communication also occurred on weekends if necessary. Enthusiastic and with flair. A ten!

The realtor sold my house while I was abroad. The communication was perfect and the entire process went very smoothly.

Rosalie helped us incredibly well. She immediately stood out due to her decisive, enthusiastic and open approach. There was an instant connection and it felt like a process that started with a light touch, but directly and firmly. It was very nice to experience that rhythm and alignment, and thanks to this we were able to make significant progress quickly when the situation called for it. Thanks to Rosalie, both the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new (dream) home went very smooth…

I had a great experience with Visch & Van Zeggelaar during my home purchase process. Stanley showed professionalism, market knowledge and commitment from beginning to end. Thank you!

I'm not one for giving 10’s, and there is always room for improvement. But fair is fair, Rosalie (our real estate agent) is worth her weight in gold. What an effort and Service Level! Always accessible and helpful with a dose of knowledge and network. Without a doubt, highly recommended for everyone who wants to (sell/re)sell their house!

Sjors and his team were strongly recommended by two colleagues of mine who they helped with the purchase of houses. We had a fantastic time with them. My husband and I come from abroad, and Sjors, Dorien and their team were incredibly patient in explaining the process of buying a house in Amsterdam. They were organized and had an incredible knowledge of the market, and their communication was excellent and prompt. They always came quickly with excellent recommendations for the additional services you need when buying a house. The feedback from Sjors and his team about the houses we viewed was very helpful (and also led us away from a few houses that we were interested in but which weren't the right match). We reached the bidding phase with two houses, and especially here, Sjors’ expert knowledge of the market was invaluable. We have now lived in our beautiful new house for six months and we feel lucky every day. Sometimes we still run into the team around the neighborhood, and we are always so happy to see them. If you get the chance to work with Sjors, Dorien and their team, I absolutely recommend it!

My experience with Visch & van Zeggelaar was truly amazing! From the very first moment they were incredibly involved, thought along with me and ensured that everything went smoothly and without stress. It felt like they really stood up for me, and that gave so much confidence. Everything was arranged quickly and exactly as I hoped. If you are looking for a real estate agent who is involved, relaxed and super good, I would definitely recommend them.

Very professional real estate agency

I have never before experienced such an extremely arrogant form of communication when simply asking questions regarding the rental of a home. Cherise van den Akker has made renting a home impossible for me. According to her, I was not eligible for any of the 173(!) homes. Not because my finances were not in order, but because I asked some questions. Cherise prefers tenants who do not ask questions but blindly sign. You just have to have people like that walking around in your company, a detriment to the business name.

Rosalie is a modern and skilled real estate agent with good connections. The property was sold quickly for a price that exceeded our expectations.

Sjors sold my house in Amsterdam wonderfully! What a nice real estate agent! Very personal and flexible!

I would recommend Stanley to everyone! He went along to all the sights, thought well with us, and helped us with good analyses.

These guys are THE agency in Amsterdam. They know the market like none other. Service and assistance top notch. Really helpful to have such an expert team to help you on the difficult housing market.

We would recommend Visch & van Zeggelaar to anyone who is looking to navigate the difficult Amsterdam housing market! They have a ton of experience and all the right expertise to help you in any step of the process. Great communication, service and attention to detail.

From the very first introduction with Stanley, our realtor, it was and felt very familiar. Friendly, service-oriented, and knowledgeable. Always accessible, someone who really knows the market and thinks along with you. Thank you very much for the good and correct service! I would definitely recommend this realtor.

Excellent service and lovely people!

I had an appointment this morning at 09:15 to view a house, confirmed by both an email from the real estate agent and an email from move.nl. I traveled all the way from Rotterdam to be on time, but the agent didn't show up. When I called the agent, they stated that there was no appointment at 9:15 in their system.

Visch & van Zeggelaar Amsterdam has guided me incredibly well from the moment the property went on sale until the actual sale. Very satisfied with the process and the help provided. Thank you!

From the very first introduction with Stanley, our real estate agent, it was and felt very familiar. Friendly, service-oriented, and knowledgeable. Always accessible, someone who knows the market well and thinks along with you. Thank you very much for the good and correct service.

Lisanne is an absolute pleasure to work with. She arranged the viewing of the apartment where we were going to move out at a time that suited us well. Very responsive and friendly!

I would also like to thank Visch & van Zeggelaar, and especially Stanley, for the help I received from them in selling my house. Stanley not only provided expert advice, but also some tips that allowed me to get a better amount for my house.

We had a pleasant collaboration with Visch & van Zeggelaar for the purchase of our house. Thanks again, Stanley!

Clear communication via Whatsapp group. Good price comparison with already sold houses nearby.

Very pleasant to work with Olivier. Expert, commercial and punctual. Got straight to it. I can highly recommend him.

Great work done together. And very satisfied with the result. Dorien was always quick and easy to reach. She was always ready for us. With a smile!

Proactive, excellent communication regarding strategy, delivers broad services and solutions (mechanic, CV maintenance, solution for minor defects). Extremely customer-focused support.

Excellent service, pleasant contact, good and clear communication. The parties they work with, such as photographer/appraiser etc., were also expert people, so I experienced the entire process as very enjoyable.

From advice to sales, everything arranged very professionally and personally. No fuss, just getting it done!

My experience with Visch & van Zeggelaar was excellent and when I move again in the future, I will use them again. My main contact person, Stanley Brugman, helped me find a house that met my needs and stayed within my budget. Buying a house in Amsterdam currently requires a lot of effort, and having an experienced real estate agent guide me through the process and attend viewings has removed a huge amount of uncertainty and stress. The service I received was very personal and I always felt prioritized. Through friends who had just bought a house, I was referred to Visch & van Zeggelaar and have already recommended them to several friends.

I am incredibly happy with the service, especially that of Dorien and Stanley. They helped us throughout the entire process and sometimes even acted as psychologists :)

Enormly helped by Stanley. He went along with us several times and always gave valuable advice. We could always discuss questions with him, he was easily accessible and patient. His building technical knowledge and advice also brought us valuable insights. We placed 1 sharp bid in consultation and were able to purchase the house directly.

Very satisfied with the help with the sale of our apartment in Amsterdam (Oud-West). The sale went quickly, was clear and with good communication. Can definitely recommend Visch & van Zeggelaar! Thanks again guys.

I am very satisfied after engaging Visch & van Zeggelaar for the rental of my apartment. I contacted Stanley Brugman directly on the recommendation of a friend and was very impressed. Stanley is intelligent, communicative, organized, and generally just very professional. Highly recommend.

Visch & van Zeggelaar was recommended to me by a friend who was very satisfied with their service. It turned out that they are indeed good at what they do. Anna and Sjors have been very helpful and arranged everything smoothly while we were abroad. The communication flowed smoothly, quickly and informatively. We are very satisfied with both the process and the result. We would definitely recommend it.

Communication is certainly not the strongest point of this real estate agency. Held on a string for 10 weeks for an apartment that is rented out at the last minute to an expat family. I find it barely professional. When being asked to be kept informed, it's the client who has to make an effort to find out what the status of the apartment is. Five times it was initially denied that the requested documents had not been received while they did arrive in my private email on cc (very strange). After the fifth time, Mrs. admitted that she had indeed received them. Then there were renovations for which no indication of timing was given. Fine, we have patience. 3 weeks later, after the renovation, the apartment was rented to the next family without any communication. Of course, I had to find this out myself. The phone is not answered and the only respect that Mrs. could muster was an SMS. I repeatedly tried to contact them for some explanation, but received no response. I decided to call the real estate agency after which a friendly colleague did take the time to listen to me, but unfortunately he could do nothing now. Besides the fact that this is very annoying for us, the nature of this review is how unprofessional they acted during these 10 weeks. I expected more from such a real estate agency.

Very pleasant experience with this realtor. Fantastic and personal guidance during the rental and sale process of our home! Highly recommended!

Olivier sold our house quickly, professionally and well. Since then, we always recommend him and his team when it comes to transactions in Amsterdam.
