All brokers in Bentelo

Account and all insurances are handled here. What a service! They are customer-focused, take everything out of your hands with an insurance matter and you are actually well insured without any hidden issues. Furthermore, no long queues on the phone, but real personal service and quick response. Super satisfied

Always friendly and professional help

Bad 1 word then that's already too much. Our death risk applied far too low, resulting in the possibility of having to sell our house upon death. You don't want this. Due to previous complaints, we were able to have a meeting about it. This conversation lasted only 3 minutes and quickly turned to whether we needed other means from them, such as a statement from RegioBank.

We have been a customer of Bles & Van der Does for about 4 years now. We are very satisfied with both the ladies at reception and the advisors themselves. Very accessible and approachable. No question is too much for them and they investigate everything thoroughly for you. They take all worries out of your hands. In short, excellent service.

Marco Smit helped my wife and me with the purchase of a new family home in Enschede. He did his best to understand our specific wishes and gave us his expert opinion on several houses we had viewed. He even advised us against buying a couple of houses because they had problems that we hadn't noticed or were too expensive. When we found a property that met our requirements, he helped us with making a fair offer and the transfer process. We were very satisfied with his help and the final purchase. A real recommendation.

Very well assisted by Bles and van der Does. They have helped us very well before with the purchase of our first house and recently with the sale of our house and the financing of a new-build home. We were assisted very professionally in a case that was not always easy. Without Bles, I don't think we would have managed. I can really recommend them wholeheartedly.

Very nice experience with Bles and Van Der Does. Reliable, transparent, friendly and reasonable. Recommended!

Rarely in my life have I encountered such an unprofessional broker/organization. The communication throughout the process was poor and not transparent. At the front, a family member was talked into a monthly subscription that would cover all costs. After signing, various costs emerged afterwards and were interwoven in strange constructions. Following several conversations where we requested clarification, it was decided to stop all services and products with this club. If you want to be treated properly and pay a fair price, my advice is to go elsewhere.

Excellent and extremely friendly assistance with the sale of our family home. Well guided from start to finish with efficient communication, and a handy portal/website. Marco Smit comes across as an experienced and realistic real estate agent who also provides relief together with his colleagues. In short, highly recommended this real estate agent!

Excellent real estate agent, expert advice and communication very good. House sold within 2 weeks and everything arranged to the last detail. All in all, super satisfied.

Extremely pleasant treatment where the customer is central

They arranged everything for us from A to Z. Very satisfied, and I recommend the services of Bles & Van der Does to everyone. Marko, Henk, and the rest of the team will help you with a smile and professionalism.

Clear information where you immediately knew what to expect with everything, very beautiful brochure about selling a house.

Very unfriendly reception by an employee on the phone. We are very interested in a particular house. After 3 weeks, still no mention of 'under offer' or 'sold subject to contract'. As long as that is not stated, there is a chance it hasn't been sold yet, right? Or she didn’t want me to call anymore because it was apparently so obvious... I had indicated that our house could be sold by them. That also wasn't interesting. That's how you do business🙄 Customer service at its best

Worst brokerage experience ever! As Justin mentioned below; scammers! 1 star is still too high. I felt completely left out in the cold as a first-time buyer by this agency. The selling broker constantly pushed for an accelerated transfer, but concealed that this would cost me an extra € 4.700 due to a hidden clause (art. 2.2) in the purchase agreement. I was only informed about these financial consequences two days before the notary. The broker: - did not warn against the loss of my first-time buyer relief; - communicated incompletely and put considerable time pressure via WhatsApp (“short on time”, “hear from you as soon as possible”); - nowhere mentioned that the property had not been in the possession of the sellers for even six months, while this is crucial for transfer tax. When I confronted them about this, I received a blunt reaction from Hilde and her little lawyer who blamed it on me and my notary. Customer friendliness = 0, transparency = 0. In short: no trust, no transparency, no service. Solely money-hungry. Subsequently, it appears that they are trying to keep their rating high with fake reviews. Save yourself stress and money and look for a broker who does take his duty of care seriously!!! So you don't have to take legal action and file a complaint with the disciplinary committee like I did. ---- Unfortunately, it is not possible to respond to their message. However, Mrs. Weerman appears to be spreading falsehoods again. The comment 'once again indicate' is misleading, there has never been a moment when it was indicated that someone found it unpleasant. Instead of taking responsibility, she shifts the blame onto others, while her statements are in no way true. This attitude demonstrates a lack of norms and values. Let this be a warning to others!

Everything went very smoothly. The communication was always clear and friendly. They were excellently accessible, not bound by office hours, and genuinely thought along with us. We are very satisfied with the guidance and would definitely recommend this realtor!

It was a pleasant and fun experience with due attention to every detail; highly recommended.

A good and quick appraisal of the property

Hilde is an expert real estate agent and helped me very well with the sale of the house. I had little to worry about regarding the process and the house was sold quickly and for a good price!

Beware, Mr. Weerman has a past as an insurance agent where he sold dozens, perhaps even 100s of usurious policies and defrauded them all. A month before it became known that the usurious policies had collapsed, Mr. Weerman sold his company and in this way deceived many people. No notification, customers not informed about the dangers, no indication that it was time to get rid of the policies but he did sell the mess himself and earned a considerable amount of money. Reason for this review now so many years later, the intention then. Mr. Weerman wanted to do good and had every chance to warn his clients and acquaintances. Instead, he disappeared and sold his company just before everything fell apart. A warned person counts for 2. A fox doesn't lose its tricks. Fraudster.

I would describe the real estate agent with the following adjectives: friendly, expert, involved and punctual.

Weerman Makelaars excellently helped us with the sale of our house! Hilde Weerman completely took care of everything for us. Communication via WhatsApp was optimal and Hilde responded very quickly! We would definitely recommend her.

Well, what a brilliant name choice: 'Happy Living.' You almost think you’re stepping into a dream house as soon as you sign the purchase agreement. Unfortunately, that dream turns out to be more of a nightmare. I had already heard some rumors about this company, but now one of my best friends is literally standing with water up to his ankles and the realtor leaves him out in the cold without mercy, I can’t help but share this ‘warning.’ You would think that a company with such a cheerful name would give you a worry-free life, but apparently the only 'Happy' here is the moment you realize you’ve bought a dilapidated building. So, for those considering it: be warned! You might as well participate in 'Renovation Rescue' and hire Martijn Krabbé and John Williams. Because believe me, you’re going to need them.

A few weeks ago, we sold our apartment through Happy Living and bought a corner house through Happy Living. We are super happy and satisfied with their service. Really happy! 😇 …

Helpfully assisted

Hilarious asking prices, no NVM member, and increasingly less supply.

Very bad experience. I contacted them with interest for a house. They said they would get back to me, which never happened, and when I called to follow up, I was treated like a scammer. I was treated very badly. Definitely not recommended.

Very positive experiences with Happy Living real estate agents. Sold 4 houses within a top timeframe and for a top price. Purchased 1 property. Where Ruud, as the purchasing agent, was very critical so that I didn't make a bad purchase. Ruud particularly sensed the feeling at the different houses well. Not once regretted going with Happy Living. Ruud and his team are excellent and make people HAPPY☀️☀️

Happy Living real estate agents is truly a recommendation! Ruud was both our sales and purchase broker. We experienced this as very positive. Our 'old' house was sold very quickly and for a top price, and during our search for our new home, he was very critical. For example, he saved us from a major mistake, a house with many defects that had not immediately been noticed by ourselves (and the seller concerned had not told us anything about it). We now have the keys to our new home and I can still contact Happy Living Real Estate Agents with all my questions.

We had a very pleasant experience with Ruud AND Evelien! Truly a top real estate agency with very down-to-earth, friendly people.

Ruud + team and Evelien of course 😀. Have already sold 3 houses for us in recent years, always super fast and always for a good price. Top team, a solid 10 for these people…

Unsocial realtor. Staff causes damage, which was given verbally. Subsequently, there is no further response. A good neighborhood course would do these people well.

Very friendly, experienced, calm and honest realtor.

I have experienced Ruud Verdonk as an arrogant man. During the viewing, he remained downstairs and was too busy with his phone. If you have complaints/hidden defects, Ruud will quickly say “too busy”. Great regret that I bought a house through this real estate agent. Ruud portrays himself as a nice man but that changes quickly when he is no longer facing you. No doubt there are people who experience this as pleasant but this is certainly not my experience. As far as I know, Happy Living is not an accredited real estate agency, which seems important in this world. Always look for a real estate agent affiliated with the NVM, there are plenty in Enschede. The response below from the “real estate agent” confirms everything and shows how unprofessional he operates.

Great shop.

We bought a holiday home in Germany in 2022. Wil Brand from Buitenleven real estate advised us very well, while knowing that we were buying a holiday home from someone else. Then we immediately decided that if we ever sell it, we will have it done by Wil Brand. She did so to our full satisfaction. She is pleasantly calm, knows how to communicate and does her absolute best. Even during the handover, she manages to surprise you as a client. How? That remains our secret, Wil!

We are very pleased with Wil Brand. She guided us excellently through the sale of our house. I wholeheartedly recommend her. Knowledgeable, friendly.

This woman is not a realtor but a scammer. So be careful.
