STERCKWONEN makelaardij

My experience with real estate agent Rick Perk during the viewing of the studio apartment at Wannerplein 44 in Heerlen was very disappointing. During the viewing and the purchasing process, Mr. Perk knowingly and deliberately concealed serious defects in the property. For example, I wasn't told that the current old central heating boiler cannot be connected to an HR boiler at all and that the entire installation must be replaced, which entails a cost of approximately €20,000. When I asked to have a structural survey carried out, this real estate agent refused to allow it with the story that it was not necessary. He tried to keep this serious limitation hidden for the sale. Also, the necessary VVE (Homeowners Association) and sales documents were deliberately not provided, despite repeated requests from my side, so that this limitation is not made known through the minutes of the residents. In addition, he himself spontaneously determined an amount of €15,000 for the parking garage and refused to show proof showing that the parking garage is being sold for this amount. It is obvious that the amount of the parking garage is much lower than his amount; when I requested the documents from the VVE and from the parking garage, he got into trouble and decided to reject my offer so that his fraud remains hidden from me. The studio apartment is sold with a project notary, and the amount of the notary by the seller must be paid, Mr. Rick wanted me to pay these costs myself €2500 euro. The property needs to be heavily renovated immediately (with more than €35,000 in costs for kitchen, floor, bathroom, plasterwork and many more repairs, excluding the cost of the central heating boiler). Mr. Perk seemed to think he could manipulate and swindle me as a foreign buyer into agreeing to an excessively high price of €132,500 plus €15,000 for a parking space. After I accidentally discovered the limitations and lowered my offer to €115,000 euro (excluding parking costs €15,000 euro), my offer was rejected without good reason after a week with the argument that the owner no longer wanted to sell the property because I had withdrawn my previous offer of €132,500. This feels to me like a choice between fraud or not selling the property. This real estate agent is unreliable. I advise everyone to be very careful when dealing with him and always have an independent structural survey carried out before proceeding.

Everything was great and quickly arranged. Friendly staff and I was helped very quickly.

I have experienced the service of SterckWonen as excellent when renting out my apartment. The very experienced employees assisted me in all steps of the process and provided me with valuable information. From taking the photos for the rental to the first rent payment took less than 2 weeks. I can highly recommend SterckWonen to everyone who wants to rent out a property.

Had a good experience, rented a house through Sterckwonen for 7 years, everything went well, deposit was returned neatly too. Excellent.

Friendly and accommodating realtor. Always quickly accessible and with personal contact. Works quickly and appreciates the customer's speed as well.

I spoke with Rick and he's sending a company to have the problem with an interior door from the living room to the toilet that doesn't close repaired. Glad it's being taken care of quickly. Bas Bijlsma

Rick Perk is a broker who thinks he's something, can't handle it when you say something to him and can manipulate people well in the real world. 1 strong is still too much for this man.....

I can absolutely recommend Sterckwonen, they guarantee professionalism, efficiency and availability! In my case, I was followed by Sem and Rick, who helped me find several solutions for my needs and removed all my doubts. The visit was perfectly organized with a very detailed explanation, so that I could get a good overview of everything. If I ever need to rely on someone again in the future, I would definitely do it with them again. Thank you very much Sem and Rick!

pays deposit back not after prompting of your reaction I would like to see the invoices a second key I never received from Mr. Beer and my dog washed in the shower how do you come to that regarding me a man a man a word a word and were you there when I moved into that room and what condition improvement

The real estate agent presented our house perfectly on Funda. The sale went smoothly thanks to Rick Perk.

Contact went great, all efforts made, sold quickly, nothing to complain about! Would do it again with this realtor

The contact was good. Everything went as expected beforehand. Appointments kept. Everything was clear Great job

Great contact with Rick, clear explanations of everything and easily reachable if you need him. Helped all the way through with the sale of my house, and kept in touch afterwards too. Definitely recommended for buying/selling your house.

We would like to sincerely thank Rick for his excellent work in selling our house in Brunssum. Since we were moving back to Germany and needed to find a buyer quickly, we initially had some concerns. However, Rick managed to take all those worries off our shoulders. From the very beginning, Rick made a very professional yet personal impression. He guided us through the entire sales process with great care and expertise. We were particularly impressed by his knowledge of the loc…

easily accessible, quick response, active communication throughout the sales process so you stay continuously informed. and also after sales or rental interest to ensure everything goes well.

Rick is very involved and excellently accessible to his client. He tackles the process proactively and professionally.

Rick Perk from Sterckwonen knows what he's going for. Friendly and expert, that's how he works. Nothing is too much for him! With 100% commitment, the sale was completed in 5 days. He knows exactly when to act. A top realtor.👌 Beek Limburg

Contact was very correct, people are expert and there's nothing negative to report. Good guidance during the sale.

We've known the real estate agent for many years and are very satisfied with their approach and efficiency. This is a true 'no-nonsense' realtor, which we appreciate.

Perfect contact, <span class='text-oranje-500'>lekker snel</span> and very knowledgeable. Good market knowledge, definitely worth recommending! Both in terms of rental and sales.

Rick made an effort to sell my apartment, and successfully. Knows how to negotiate. Keeps appointments. Keeps you informed of all developments. This is also evident from previous experiences with this real estate agent.

Well and professionally assisted in finding a rental house for my parents. They respond immediately to emails and provide good information. Very satisfied with Sem and Rick. Keep up the good work. I can imagine that it might be difficult for other older people to arrange everything online.

4 stars out of 5 because I cannot enter 4'999. If you are looking for your home in Maastricht, remember this: Broker Rick and Sem. Quick response and flexibility seem to be the rule at STERCWONEN, and achieving it is the policy of the agency. Always professional, and listening to the searcher, Rick and Sem must have attended a Harvard Master Class in customer service. They receive your request and they deliver! Thanks Rotimi

I would definitely recommend contacting this agency. Rick was very professional during the viewing and Sam could quickly schedule an appointment and always responded promptly to every question via email or whatsapp.

Lots of personal attention due to the short lines. Thanks Rick

Quickly helped with a beautiful home. Pleasant communication!

Very satisfied with Sterckwonen and the person behind Sterckwonen, Rick. He helped us well throughout the entire process and always went the extra mile. He is proactive, thinks along and is especially honest in his communication. He says what he thinks and does what he says. A very driven real estate agent who wants the best for his client..!

Regarding our sale of our house, we are super satisfied with especially our real estate agent Rick Perk from SterkWonen in Beek (lb). All appointments were handled quickly and correctly. With this, I advise to engage this real estate agent If You want to sell a house.

Absolutely no communication, I responded to the rental offer as soon as it was posted, but I received no response. I've tried multiple times and nothing...

Very satisfied with Sterckwonen. Good communication with realtor Rick. Within a week he helped me find an apartment. Responds quickly. Knowledgeable realtor.

Rick arranged a house for me. When the first house I was interested in had already been rented out, he still managed to arrange another house within a short timeframe. Despite communication sometimes being a bit difficult due to his busy schedule, everything was ultimately well arranged.

The best realtor in the region! Very professional and reliable. I have already recommended him to my colleagues and friends! 5 stars.

Communication very poor & unprofessional The viewing was reasonably arranged as an exception. Ultimately responded to the property. After a week, no response, then I called Rick. He stated that it would take slightly longer due to the vacation and that he hoped to know by the weekend. Two weeks later, still no response from Rick. Eventually, I WhatsApped him through the website and called him 4 times that week. Each time I received an automatic SMS reply stating that he was currently 'in a viewing or appointment' (possibly on vacation? If so, communicate this). So I emailed. A little over a week later, I received an email back saying 'Apologies for the delay, but I will know definitively tomorrow'. Not called the next day, ultimately called again two days later myself. Ultimately, we had to wait approximately one month for a proper response from Rick.

Great to work with, responds quickly and has everything well arranged!

Good, fast and personal service!

I, as a private landlord, am very pleased with Rick Perk of Sterckwonen. He is expert, easily accessible, knows his way around in delicate matters. Keeps his appointments, is reliable. In short; exactly what you expect from a property management broker as a landlord. Top!
