All brokers in Amsterdam

Buying my first apartment in Amsterdam was a big step, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience thanks to this team (big shout out to Jesper and Julius). From start to finish, they were proactive, professional, and incredibly helpful—always one step ahead and quick to respond to any questions I had and giving me their sound advice while bidding. Everything went as smoothly as I hoped (and even better), and I’m so happy with my new home. Highly recommended if you’re looki...

In the search for my first house, I quickly realized that it's difficult to find a home in Amsterdam. On the recommendation of my brother, who also bought a house in Amsterdam through Wester Makelaars, I decided to start searching with Wester Makelaars. Because this was the first time I was buying a house, I often had many questions. Julius is clear in his communication and gave clear explanations about all the different procedures. This made it much …

Very satisfied with my real estate agent! I received incredibly good assistance throughout the entire purchasing process. Communication was clear and fast, and I truly felt supported at every step. Expert, involved, and reliable - definitely recommended!

Jesper and the team at Wester were an incredible help in selling our apartment. As a fairly obsessive Funda browser (with the occasional Kadaster deep-dive), we felt we had a good grasp of the market — but nothing compares to having a seasoned professional who’s been involved in hundreds of recent transactions. What stood out most was the collaborative approach. We never felt pressured to rush decisions or make unnecessary changes. Jesper genuinely listened to our needs, shared...

Our contact person Jesper was exactly what we were looking for. He helped us every step of the way until we found our dream house. Very professional, friendly and accessible.

Jesper helped us search for the ideal house for a year, doing so well and with patience. He ensured that we remained committed to realistic and reasonable bids in this overheated market, and ultimately it was successful!

Great help and everything handled neatly, very satisfied, real estate agent Jesper understands what you want and acts accordingly.

In this day and age when you need a real estate agent to buy a house in The Netherlands, it's good to have someone that knows their way around the market and is quick to reply on time sensitive projects. It was great working with the team at Western Makelaars for those reasons.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jesper from Wester Makelaars, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From our first meeting in January to receiving the keys to our dream house in Amsterdam mid-March, Jesper ensured that the entire process felt seamless. As first-time buyers, we had a million questions, and he was always available, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us every step of the way. His professionalism, dedication, and warm approach made what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth and exciting. We wholeheartedly recommend Jesper and Wester Makelaars to anyone looking to buy a house, and we would not hesitate to work with them again in the future! Thank you Jesper, for making our dream home a reality!

We had a good experience with Jesper and his team! From the first contact, they exuded professionalism and commitment. What stood out especially was the personal attention to both us as sellers, and to the potential buyers. No question was too much, and everything was explained with care and patience. A real estate agent with heart for his work and his clients – absolutely recommended!

I had a great experience. Bart and Jesper did a great job coordinating everything while I was abroad, all went smoothly and stress free for me. Definitely recommend!

Great help from Jesper and Julius, can't say anything else. Thanks so much!

Fantastic brokers with excellent service and knowledge! Jesper guided us very nicely through our purchasing process, always honest, helpful and responsive. Definitely recommended.

Jesper helped me exceptionally well with the sales process. Due to circumstances, I was in a hurry to sell, without Jesper’s direct and forward-thinking actions, I probably wouldn't have been able to complete this process within the short timeframe. His communication was pleasant and very clear. I can recommend him to everyone for buying or selling a house in Amsterdam.

Great contact. Very direct and open, always able to switch quickly, and very friendly as well. Would definitely recommend working with Jesper!

Very good experiences with realtor Bart-Jan, who helped us sell our house. Bart-Jan is friendly and reliable and works very expertly. He guided us well throughout the entire sales process, understands the market, and communicates at every step. This way you know what to expect and everything goes smoothly through consultation. Highly recommended!

Very pleasant collaboration. Bart-Jan responds quickly, understands the market and acts in good consultation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Barry understood our wishes from the very first meeting. He made the home buying process smooth and stress-free, partly thanks to his extensive network. He is incredibly responsive, available, and attentive during communication. We love our new apartment, and that's thanks to him.

We are incredibly pleased with Barry as our buyer's agent. In just 6 years, he has helped us purchase 2 homes in the Amsterdam region. His over 20 years of experience as a certified real estate agent shines through in everything he does. What truly sets Barry apart is his incredible network. He seems to know everyone in Amsterdam, Amstelveen and surrounding areas. This gives his clients a real advantage in this competitive market. Barry is always patient, attentive, and goes above and beyond to ensure that his clients find their dream home. His personal approach and attention to detail are truly exceptional. We are incredibly grateful for his excellent guidance throughout our entire purchasing process. Whether you are a local or an expat looking to move or invest, we cannot recommend Barry enough. If you need a buyer's agent in Amsterdam, don't look any further: Barry is certainly the right choice!

I cannot recommend Barry highly enough to anyone looking to buy an apartment in and around Amsterdam in the current market. He is simply superb. Within 2 weeks, we found a perfect place that exceeded our expectations. This would have been impossible without Barry's expert guidance and extremely professional and helpful attitude. Communication with Barry was seamless. He is exceptionally personable and tailors his guidance precisely to what you are looking for, whether it concerns location, type of property or price range. His knowledge and network are enormous and he offers candid advice to prevent 'overly emotional' decisions that you may later regret. The entire process was a pleasure, especially thanks to Barry’s careful attention and extremely kind character. I would like to speak with anyone considering using Barry to share more about our experiences. In short, if you can convince Barry to help you, don't hesitate and grab him before someone else does. From my experience, you won't regret it. Brendan O'Dwyer

In our search for a good real estate agent in Amsterdam, we were recommended Barry. After an initial conversation, we immediately had confidence in both Barry and Monique. Barry quickly understood what we were looking for after this conversation and also advised us accordingly. Throughout the entire process, Barry was very involved and always open to all of our questions. Even after the offer was accepted, Barry continued to help us with the notary process etc. We are very happy with Barry and Monique and would definitely recommend them to everyone!

We went looking for a new apartment in Amsterdam without extensive preparation and expected a quick victory here. It was anticipated that we would enter a challenging market, where we balanced between making a winning bid and offering something still reasonable enough to justify the mortgage value. It felt like a complete relief to have Barry on board our team, to forget the struggle and leave this to a very experienced professional, and simply enjoy the ride. Premium service pays well, but is every cent more than worth it. Highly recommended and once again greatly appreciated for his help in our life-changing process.

Barry exceptionally helped us find our dream house in Amsterdam. From the beginning, he carefully selected accommodations that met our needs and quickly adjusted his recommendations based on our feedback. Just as we were about to lower our expectations, Barry found a house for us that we truly loved. With his expert guidance on timing and bidding strategy, our first offer was accepted - something we didn't think possible in Amsterdam’s competitive market! Thanks to his proactive approach, everything went quickly and smoothly. We are now happily settled into our house in Amsterdam, which we weren't even sure was feasible. Thank you, Barry, for making the impossible possible! Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home in Amsterdam.

Barry has been very helpful with his recommendations from day 1. Always willing to help and answer all my questions and requests. He is very dedicated and will be honest in his opinion about the houses you visit. If it doesn't suit you, he will let you know. Even when helping with the decision to bid too much, which is quite common in this tight Amsterdam market, he is very aware and will tell you whether or not it is worth making a higher offer. He is extremely reliable, respectful, patient and trustworthy.

Working with Barry when purchasing our house was a piece of cake. I can wholeheartedly recommend him! Barry is super knowledgeable about the Amsterdam housing market, responds quickly and got us our house with the right bid and the right conditions.

Barry's help with the purchase of my first apartment was invaluable. He actively listened to my wishes and made sure he screened all apartments before viewing them, which saved us time and energy. He regularly came up with possibilities before I had seen them online. During viewings, he ensured that he focused on all the small but important technical details so that I could focus on my overall opinion of the apartments. He didn't rush and even postponed the process several times due to details I had overlooked. Ultimately, we found the perfect apartment for me in less than two months. And thanks to his market knowledge and negotiation skills, I got a great apartment at a great price without having to pay transfer tax. Finally, Barry checked all the documents to make sure everything was in order, which was enormously important to me since I don't yet speak Dutch. All in all, I am very happy with Barry and I can wholeheartedly recommend him.

Barry was great to work with! He helped me find my first apartment in Amsterdam, and the whole process went super smoothly. He was quick, efficient, and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. I felt like he genuinely cared about helping me find the right place, not just any place. If you're looking for someone who knows the Amsterdam housing market and offers a personal, no-nonsense service, then Barry is your man!

I would recommend Barry and Monique to anyone who wants to buy a house in Amsterdam! They have extensive knowledge of the housing market and provide excellent advice on your future purchase. We found our house within a month in Amsterdam Oud-West! Thanks again for being such good professionals and even making the purchasing process enjoyable :)

We had a fantastic experience with Barry, the real estate agent who helped us find our new apartment in Amsterdam Oud Zuid.

We are grateful to Barry for his help and highly recommend him due to his exceptional service and professionalism.

Barry has helped us wonderfully in finding our new house! As expats, we were unfamiliar with the local market, but his expertise made the whole process much easier. He guided us through every step, answered all our questions and helped us find the perfect property. Thanks to his professionalism and friendly approach, we felt confident and well supported throughout the entire journey. We wholeheartedly recommend Barry to anyone looking for a good real estate agent. Thank you very much for everything!

We had an exceptional experience working with Barry and Monique on the purchase of our new family home. Professional, attentive and extremely well-informed about the market. We received invaluable advice on what we could offer to secure our dream home. Today, we feel like the happiest family that has found a house in the most unexpected and beautiful location. The process was quick and smooth and every step was clearly explained. It happened in just a few weeks. Some might say it was luck, but it was thanks to Barry, Monique and Maikel. Thanks again team!!!

I really enjoyed working with Barry; he is always friendly and patient enough with me while I explored many neighborhoods before making the final decision to buy a house. I also appreciated his insights into each property we viewed together. Once the decision was made, he ensured that the process went quickly and smoothly. Would definitely work with Barry again!

Had good experiences with Barry. It was a pleasure to work with you and he understood my need for the purchase of the new house. Great knowledge and more than experience in real markets and in real estate, as an expat in Amsterdam it was very new to me. Barry handled it patiently from the first step to the handover of the keys. Efficient way of working and I highly recommend it. :)

Excellent market knowledge, which has led to a quick sale for a great selling price. Can wholeheartedly recommend Schoiten Realty.

Thank you for the sale of our private house. Everything went smoothly.

Maaike followed up well and was clear and transparent. I would definitely recommend Damstad.

Excellent service and quick sale! We are extremely satisfied with the services of Maaike van Damstad. From the very first contact, she exuded professionalism and commitment. She gave clear advice, communicated quickly, and kept us well informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to her decisive approach and knowledge of the market, our house was sold incredibly fast. Maaike combines a friendly and personal approach with a clear strategy, which, as far as we are concerned, makes her a top real estate agent. A true recommendation for everyone who wants to sell their home with peace of mind!

Maurizio from DAMSTAD guided us both during the sale and purchase and he couldn't have done it better. Knowledge of the market, professionalism and very pleasant to deal with. Truly a support and confidant during these, somewhat exciting, processes. His partner Maaike is cut from the same cloth as well, so highly recommended.

Maurizio and the team at Damstad were exceptionally helpful and professional in the sale of my home. His proposed approach was clear and realistic. He was very patient and understanding, as I had no experience selling a property in the Netherlands. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Maurizio and his team did fantastic work in the sale of my home. They were professional and communicated clearly. I can wholeheartedly recommend Damstad.

Maaike and the team from Damstad guided us incredibly well during the sale of our house. Their service is client-focused, with a lot of market knowledge, and they have very pleasant communication. The viewings themselves were well prepared, and during the viewing days, ample attention was given to every interested party. After each viewing, we were fully informed about who had visited and an assessment of the degree of serious interest. The final negotiation...
