Four years ago, Willem helped with the purchase of my first home to full satisfaction, and the recent sales process went at least as smoothly!

Willem excellently guided the sale of our house, thanks!

I advise against buying a house through Nieuw Amsterdam Huys, as we are not satisfied with the guidance they provided us as expats throughout the entire process. They misled us when we (simply) heavily relied on them for identifying issues with the apartments, due diligence, bidding advice, and securing the best deal possible. Buying a home is one of the most important financial and emotional decisions that is already stressful in the overheated market. Therefore, it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to have a good and reliable real estate agent. I understand that we also made mistakes due to lack of understanding in a new country and blindly trusted the agent. But I hope no one else makes the same mistake as us.

I would stay far away from them if you are looking for an honest, competent and reliable purchasing agent, especially if you are an expat. They do the absolute minimum and take advantage of your lack of local market knowledge to earn their hefty commission as quickly as possible. Their only strategy is to get their clients to bid as high as possible, regardless of the actual market value of the house. 7 months ago we bought an apartment in Amsterdam with Joris as our agent. We are only writing this review now because we have since realized many things and now have knowledge about factors that influence property values in the Netherlands, and also because we initially wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. We can say that we absolutely regret our decision to work with Joris due to: 1. He did not provide a single relevant advertisement during the entire search process, nor early access. Worse still, they kept suggesting houses that clearly didn't meet our criteria and were far from our preferred areas. 2. We would advise ourselves to bid on properties despite obvious problems and significant overbidding. All other properties were, according to them, 'very nice'. Note that we weren’t in a hurry and made this clear from the beginning. 3. They did not explain how they arrived at a suggestive offer and how leasehold status, energy labels, renovations, etc. were taken into account in the recommended offer. 4. After we won the bid, there was obvious haste on Joris’s part to close the deal. The building inspection was scheduled for the day we would be going on vacation for two weeks, we could hardly be present, and Joris wasn't either, and many critical issues were missed due to being in poor condition. Things that have cost us a lot of money to repair later. 5. No negotiation was suggested or attempted, not even after a building inspection where several problems had been addressed. We didn’t know if that was even possible; but good agents do it. 6. Poor assessment and review of documents (such as the MJOP). At the last minute, it turned out that the VVE reserve fund was only a quarter of the originally stated amount, and not sufficient to cover the planned maintenance and repairs. I was able to see this and understand it (although somewhat late), despite having just moved to the country. It proves they are not competent enough. 7. Most of our concerns were dismissed with typical sales pitches - concerns such as the disadvantages of a large VVE with one social housing association owning most of the apartments, and its impact on the value/demand of the apartments. 8. All our doubts and worries were confirmed by the bid book (after the sale was closed) - hardly any bids, while ours were significantly higher than the second-highest bid and so far the highest m2 price for a comparable apartment in our neighborhood. Our excessive reliance on an agent was our fault, we accept that, but worse were Joris’s repeated sales pitches, with the worst being: 'your offer will only lead to further price increases in this area, so you don't need to worry'; 'you would have thrown that extra money away on rent anyway' and 'many bids come in via email and phone and do not end up in the bid book'. So we unwittingly and unintentionally contributed further to this housing crisis, which we absolutely do not feel comfortable with. These are exactly the kind of agents you should avoid and people warn against. I have written this long and detailed review so that no one has to endure this bitter and stressful experience when buying their first home, like we did. Please invest your money in a more competent agent (if it’s really necessary) who puts his client's interests first. Most of the good reviews on Google seem dubious, and that also applies to a sales agent, which given the housing crisis is probably the easiest job in Amsterdam.

My partner and I are extremely satisfied with the purchasing service of NAH, and especially with real estate agent Willem van Galen-Last. Because the office is a bit smaller, we received a lot of personal attention and they were always ready to answer our questions directly. Moreover, they weren't afraid to give an honest, critical opinion, even if it wasn't in their own interest. All in all, a reliable and expert real estate agency that we have already recommended to several acquaintances!

Good realtor. Pleasant to work with.

We were SO lucky to be able to work with Willem, he helped us find and buy our DREAM HOUSE :) Willem was friendly, professional, honest, and so resourceful. We can wholeheartedly recommend him and his services!

Positive experience with Joris from Nieuw Amsterdam Huys as a buyer's agent! Found an apartment within three months that met my search criteria.

Dishonest, disrespectful and unprofessional agency. Their business plan revolves around scamming expats. 1/5 is far too generous for them.

With Joris as my purchasing agent, I found a beautiful apartment in the Jordaan. He accompanied me to almost every viewing and was always easily accessible, even outside of working hours. His honesty, expertise, and friendly approach made the entire process very pleasant. I am incredibly happy with his help and can recommend him to everyone!

My experience with Joris from Nieuw Amsterdam Huys was extremely positive. He guided me excellently through the purchase process of my new home in Amsterdam. What I particularly appreciated was his straight-to-the-point approach: clear communication and practical solutions at every step. In addition, he was always available for questions and proactively thought along. I would recommend Joris without a doubt to anyone looking for a reliable and expert real estate agent in Amsterdam!

Great. Communication, knowledge, practical, decisive problem solving. Highly recommended! I am happy to respond to questions, because as Nieuw Amsterdams Huys all real estate agents should be. Also perfect for expats, my wife was also very satisfied, reassured, and informed at a good level, not too much information but the right information. And our house was sold for the highest price ever in our apartment complex. And all that for not even such a high price. Even the cheapest of the 3 agents we consulted with. Thanks for everything Bas!

We are extremely satisfied with our experience with Nieuw Amsterdams Huys. From the first contact, the interaction was very pleasant: friendly, professional and always quick in communication. What struck us most was the transparent way of working. We were well informed about all steps in the process, a pleasant collaboration.

We are pleased with the service that Nieuw Amsterdam House provided during the sale of our beautiful apartment. We were immediately impressed by the professionalism and personal approach. Bas advised us well on the sales strategy and the right price proposal, which resulted in a quick sale of our house at a good price. The entire process went very smoothly and clearly. We were kept well informed of the progress, and we could always count on a quick response to questions. Thanks to Nieuw Amsterdam House, the sale was not only fast but also absolutely worry-free!

New Amsterdam House is a very expert, pleasant real estate agency where I have had excellent experiences. A mediator that I can recommend to everyone. Proactive, accessible, discrete and diplomatic when desired. Moreover......affordable. Johan Dijkstra.

Professionals!! We had a great experience with Willem and the team. Don't think twice! Highly recommended!

Na een zoektocht van 1,5 jaar, met talloze bezichtigingen die het nét niet waren en mooie woningen waar we telkens werden overboden, vonden we via Funda ons droomhuis. We wisten meteen dat we iemand nodig hadden om ons hierbij te helpen. En wat een geweldige beslissing was dat! Bas is buitengewoon betrokken en beschikt over een schat aan kennis en ervaring. Hij lette op details waar wij overheen keken, gaf uitstekend advies tijdens de onderhandelingen en begeleidde ons vanaf de eerste kennismaking tot de sleuteloverdracht op een manier die zowel professioneel als persoonlijk was. Bovendien was Bas altijd goed bereikbaar, wat ons veel rust gaf in een toch vaak stressvol proces. Dankzij zijn inzet wonen wij nu in het mooiste huis van Amsterdam – iets wat zonder Bas absoluut niet gelukt was. Wij kunnen hem van harte aanbevelen aan iedereen die op zoek is naar een makelaar die écht het verschil maakt. Dank je wel, Bas en het hele team van Nieuw Amsterdams Huys

Danny has supported me from start to finish, in all steps of both the purchasing and sales process. Absolute recommendation!

Everything went well. The accompaniment was pleasant, the contact as well. The house has been sold for a very good price.

Danny has excellently helped and guided us throughout the entire process. We are very satisfied with our new house!

Friendly and approachable, pleasant to work with, alert and quick in providing information etc. Extensive relevant experience and expertise

Remko is a very pleasant person and together with his colleague Danny ensured that the sales process ran smoothly and clearly. In short, you want everyone to have such a real estate agent. I recommend this office to everyone!

I had the pleasure of getting to know Remko, who assisted me throughout the entire purchasing process of my first house in De Pijp and supported me even after the purchase. Remko is professional yet approachable. Thanks to his clear explanations and practical approach, he is the person you would like by your side during your search through the labyrinth of the Amsterdam housing market. Thanks again Remko!

Remko keeps all his appointments, communicates pleasantly and is very skilled. Moreover, he negotiated very well for me regarding the terms of delivery. Highly recommended!

Danny was super helpful throughout the whole process of finding my new home. He really knows his stuff and gave expert advice every step of the way. It was clear he cared about helping me find the right place, not just any place. He explained everything clearly, was always quick to respond, and made the whole experience way less stressful than I expected. I felt supported and well-informed the entire time.

Great real estate agent. Helped me 15 years ago with the purchase and now with the sale of my apartment. Very pleasant guidance from both Remko and Danny. Both are super professional and friendly. They helped me through the entire process from A to Z, there were unfortunately setbacks along the way, but with the help of Remko and Danny everything was resolved! Will definitely use Remko real estate again in the future.

Remko Bijvoet Real Estate Agency is a reliable office with plenty of attention and time for the client. Had a completely perfect collaboration with Remko, can recommend him to everyone.

We highly recommend Remko Bijvoet Makelaardij! They have a lot of market knowledge, listen well to the wishes of the selling party and communicate excellently! Truly a very good experience

I've worked with many brokers before, but I can only say that Remko and also Danny deserve a 10 in every way! Thank you both!

Great advice from the real estate agent, good assessment of the value and process; it went excellently and I was always well informed; took the time to explain things, top notch: everything was correct and no surprises.

I was guided by Remko throughout the entire process from A to Z, many steps were new to me, and then it's very nice to have a realtor like Remko! Highly recommended to take Remko as a realtor!

I bought this house in 2014 with the same real estate agent, and also bought my new house with him. So a total of 2 purchases and 1 sale. Smart, friendly, proactive and well-prepared, and top experience. I give his contact to everyone I know looking for a real estate agent.

Remko is a friendly and communicative person, which ensures clarity regarding wishes and opportunities. He is experienced, honest, and patient.

Contact with Remko and Danny is very pleasant, clear, straightforward, and manageable in this hectic housing market. They have patience and attention for the client and deliver on their promises. They provide pleasant personal attention with clear, concise agreements and services. A small but highly skilled office! Highly recommended!

Bob has enormously helped us with the sale of our house. We appreciated his personal approach, interested attitude, market knowledge and optimal availability. He saw the value of the property and location. That has resulted in a smooth sale.

Top Real Estate Agent. Clear. Accessible, for buyer and seller. Down to earth, very competent. Recommended.

Bob was truly valuable, he guided the negotiation well with an excellent result as a consequence.

Bob has been enormously helpful, as newcomers when it comes to buying; Bob explained to us in great detail what to look for and what not to pay attention to and how to proceed. I would definitely recommend Bob!

From the first call, Bob felt like the right choice! He is extremely professional, notices every little detail, he helped us a lot to be more accurate about what house we need, went with us to every viewing, and eventually got the deal for us! I highly recommend Bob!

Bob was a pleasant, careful and expert guide through the entire sales process. It was a good collaboration.

Bob is an expert real estate agent and very pleasant to deal with. He advised me well through the exciting process of buying my first home, resulting in the beautiful outcome that I was able to buy my dream house in a prime location.

This is the second time we've worked with Bob. He is fantastic. Very knowledgeable, but also extremely pragmatic. We fully trust his advice regarding the condition and quality of the homes we view, as well as the bidding and negotiation periods. He works hard to ensure you get a high-quality home or apartment for the right price. Highly recommended.

Bob handled the sale process with a 10 out of 10. Everything went very smoothly and the plans worked out to a T. Great service for a fair price. Einar

Bob says it as it is. No fuss, just clear and honest communication. Sharp too. Both when buying and selling my house, he provided excellent guidance. The sales process also went smoothly. We quickly found a property thanks to Bob. His personal approach, combined with a touch of humor, makes working together enjoyable. In addition, he is easily accessible and gives you exactly the information you need to make well-considered decisions t...

Bob is very honest and transparent, he tries to get you a good deal and not just overpay to get the house

Bob is an excellent realtor with the right knowledge and connections. He helped us enormously during the process and ensured a successful purchase!

Friendly in contact, pragmatic and realistic, he provided us with good advice. Due to his adequate and professional handling, the entire sales process was completed within a few weeks. In short, we were very happy with Bob as a real estate agent.

Bob is a very pleasant realtor. Straightforward, thinks along well, good communication. We are very satisfied with Bob! Real estate agency!

Bob was an outstanding real estate agent who truly prioritized our best interests. He has a great moral compass, is always helpful, and patiently answered all our questions. Thanks to his guidance, we found the perfect home. Highly recommended!

Bob is a pleasant and skilled colleague. A professional in his field

Paul guided me well from beginning to end. Then you really notice how important it is to have a real estate agent when buying a house. He looks at things differently, is an important link with the selling realtor, and is quick in his communication! 👌🏻

Herman de Jonge as a broker at Ludenhoff, extremely good knowledge of the subject matter. Checks, relieves burdens and very pleasant to deal with. 10 plus! Recommended.

Paul and his colleagues from Ludenhoff real estate agents are very knowledgeable and involved, great! I was neatly informed about everything during the process and all communication went smoothly.

For me, the most important and pleasant thing is the excellent way of communicating. The agent is always reachable, works at times I don't expect, and provides direct updates on things that happen. It’s very nice working with Ludenhof.

The collaboration with Herman and Paul towards us was great. Fantastic brokers, recommended.

The real estate agent was easily accessible. Knows how to properly assess the value of the property, provides good advice and most importantly: the property was sold within a week. Definitely recommended when you want to sell your home in Amstelveen and surrounding areas.

All our questions were actually already answered before we could even ask them!! The further guidance towards the sale was very professional.

Professional and attentive with a friendly touch. Interested parties are guided and selected skillfully.

Excellent real estate agent, especially good in combination with a financial advisor / arranging a mortgage. Clear communication, always possible to just pop in if you have questions. Good guidance on the timing of the process of purchasing a home and selling the old one. And they are cheerful, friendly guys.

Easily accessible and proactively engaged, very pleasant in communication as well. They ask the right questions and carefully consider the wishes/requirements package. They are knowledgeable about the market. Remain objective throughout. In short, a pleasant collaboration.

Very pleasant collaboration with Herman van Ludenhoff Makelaars in the sale of our house. Expert advice and good guidance and communication throughout the sales process. Warm, friendly and professional. Our interests were very well looked after, but the buying party was also very satisfied with the contact with our real estate agent.

Excellent guidance from Paul and Herman in the sale of my house. They are always accessible and do what they promise.

Perfect! We were excellently supported by Herman and Paul during the purchase of our house. They are always easily accessible, and their expertise was evident throughout the viewings we did with them. When it comes to bidding, they could make good estimates about the necessary bid to play along well, and also gave honest advice at times when we shouldn't want a property at all. That has saved us a lot of headaches! Regarding mortgage matters as well, we could turn to them for clear explanations and advice. All in all, the support from Ludenhoff makes the brokerage costs worth double.

A little too much pride and ego. Perhaps for the right reasons, but you need to understand that as a house seller (even in a seller's market like here) you need to have some empathy for the challenges of buyers. They did have a few good reviews and my Dutch friends advised me to get in touch, but it didn't work out for us. All the best!

Recently, we purchased an apartment in Amstelveen. To help us with the search and purchase process, we contacted Herman de Jonge of Ludenhoff Makelaars. Herman guided us fantastically through this process. He listens well, asks critical questions consistently, and advises in a very professional manner. We particularly appreciate his proactive approach. Highly recommended.

Felix de Nobelhof 35 Today the transfer of my 'old' property. This was sold with the help of Paul’s expertise, which was good and cozy. He is very clear in his communication and thinks along with options. Reason for me to ask Paul as a purchasing agent also, this went smoothly. Given the short search time, it was possible to find and buy a nice home.

We sold our house with the help of Herman de Jonge. Everything went smoothly, Herman is very experienced and professional. We are extremely satisfied with the entire process and the end result. Thank you very much, Herman & team!

Philippe and Bruce van de Graaf & Groot Makelaars guided us in the purchase of our house. They immediately got off to a flying start after an introduction, offering excellent support and being very flexible. Thanks to this excellent service, we were able to buy our house within a few months. Definitely recommended if you want an involved and honest real estate agent!

The contact was pleasant. We received answers to the questions we asked. The agent was goal-oriented and communicated efficiently. However, a relatively expensive agent.

Excellent guidance from Bruce in both the purchase of my new home and the sale of my old home. Highly recommended!

De Graaf & Groot Makelaars is an excellent, very professional and genuinely involved real estate agent. I fully agree with all the other positive opinions: An absolute recommendation.

My experience with this real estate agent was disappointing. They attempted to sell the property without contacting me beforehand. During a court hearing, it was ultimately decided to remove this real estate agent from the sale. I found their attitude clearly biased, which resulted in me being disadvantageously treated and excluded in an unpleasant way. This seemed partly due to influence from a co-owner, whereby the real estate agent appeared to align with their interests in an opportunistic and easygoing manner. In my opinion, this behavior is in conflict with the rules of the NVM. I therefore cannot recommend this real estate agent.

Skilled and friendly.

Working with Philippe and Sarah from De Graaf & Groot Makelaars was a fantastic experience. They understood our neighbourhood well and knew how to effectively showcase the best aspects of our home during a sale. They were professional, prompt, and thorough. We couldn't have asked for better partners to sell our home and would gladly recommend and work with them again.

De Graaf en Groot helped me perfectly. They sent me a selection of apartments daily that met my wish list. Ultimately, they found the perfect apartment. We went to view it together. They guided me very well in making an offer and then provided perfect handling afterwards. They were always available. If it didn't work out by phone, I would receive a WhatsApp message or be called back later. An absolute recommendation.

Excellent guidance from Bruce van de Graaf and Groot Makelaars. Expert advice on pricing and preparing the house for sale.

They helped us through the entire complex process of buying a house. They took care of everything and relieved us of every form of stress. Always friendly and professional. Highly recommended

And then comes the day you're going to sell your house, something you don't do that often. Invited several real estate agents. Emilie and Eppo had done their homework, were prepared and ultimately more than delivered!!! Professional and businesslike as it should be in my opinion. Thanks again!

Although the sale of my house experienced some bumps in the road due to circumstances, it was brought to a good end thanks to the knowledge and decisiveness of De Graaf & Goot Makelaars. Everyone is happy and open to repeating this with a potential next move. Jan Ebbinge

We are very satisfied with De Graaf and Groot Makelaars. As an agency, they handle the process from beginning to end very carefully, professionally and adequately. Philippe advised and assisted us excellently in this regard. Sharp and decisive, he acts based on a dose of experience.

Philippe and his team have supported us through three transactions over the past twelve years. Each time, they’ve been consistently professional, dependable, and insightful. Philippe is honest and hardworking, always prepared with well-researched advice and thoughtful counsel. His diligence and integrity have been instrumental in helping us make informed decisions with confidence.

We were guided through our purchase by Philippe. Absolutely top-notch. They really know the market inside and out, having a large network due to their long experience in AMS to strike successfully at the right moment. What I also greatly appreciated is that Philippe is extremely critical of every property we viewed, without any push to buy and do business quickly; on the contrary, they had all the patience with us during the many viewings we requested. Last but not le...

Very professional office, knows what's happening in the market and is therefore right in the middle of it. Above all, always easily accessible!
