DVA Makelaars Alkmaar | Dapper & van Aalst

Short lines of communication, quick communication, personal service, an experienced duo of brokers. Very pleasant!

Contact went well. The first house was a hit, but the €3500,- that you have to pay is fixed. That's a very high hourly rate.

Everything went smoothly. The property was sold quickly at the right price, the real estate agent is very easy to reach and is always available for me!

Sold quickly and smoothly for a good price. The house was listed on Funda within a week after the decision was made. Beautiful presentation. Good photos and video presentation. Communication went very well. They also took good care of my house and belongings during the process.

Contact with the real estate agent went well. I received clear and quick answers to all my questions.

DVA politely and helpfully assisted us. The couple was very well informed and able to answer all our questions, which led to the sale of our house.

Pleasant contact, friendly. Clear agreements. Honest advice. Keep appointments. Good and clear communication. Easily accessible and respond quickly to questions. Meets expectations.

Pleasant contact, friendly. Clear agreements. Honest advice. Keep appointments. Good and clear communication. Easily accessible and respond quickly to questions. Meets expectations.

Professional real estate agent duo who can quickly adapt. The sale of my apartment went smoothly. Professional marketing photos and video are created by the realtor themselves and do not cause delays in the process.

Meanwhile, my mother's house has been sold. Very good realtor, very friendly and good service and advice.

I had a pleasant experience with the sale of my apartment through DVA Real Estate Agency. The sale proceeded very quickly due to the professional approach taken by Tineke, my thanks for this.

We were well assisted by DVA. They were able to capture the atmosphere of the house well in images. The communication was open and they came enthusiastically to us.

Very pleasant realtor! We were helped with the sale of the property by Tineke. From the very first moment, she was able to reassure my client. We were also kept well informed during the entire process of selling the property and everything went in consultation. Nice experience, thank you for the cooperation!

Recently, my wife and I had a viewing with DVA Real Estate Agent Pascal. He knew a lot about the house and took all the time for us. Very pleasant real estate agent who immediately gives you a good feeling. The brochure we received looked great as well and good follow-up. He impressed upon us that we can always call him or his wife Tineke if we have questions or want to view again. Nice acquaintance, highly recommended.

Last Thursday, my friend and I had the final inspection of our first home. We were super nervous and curious at the same time. We were a little earlier than the real estate agent from DVA and went inside because it was raining. We were greeted kindly by the current resident. When the real estate agent arrived, we felt that this wasn't intended. There was immediately a tense atmosphere. The resident had told us that day that there were two wasp nests in the shed outside and they could be removed at her expense. We thought it was strange that this hadn’t been reported beforehand and pointed this out to the real estate agent. She said she still wanted to pass this on during this final inspection. It's a bizarre situation that we weren't informed about this earlier. But ultimately, it's nice that it could be removed at the resident's expense. When we came into the garden and shed, there were all sorts of things lying around like 2 large bags of soil/planks/tools and bulky waste. The lamps were still hanging everywhere inside as well. We indicated that we couldn’t deal with this and whether it could be removed. The resident stated that she no longer had the time/strength/desire to do so. Not really a problem, but that's not the buyer's responsibility to clean up. Moreover, it is normal for a property to be handed over empty. We were willing to clear this up but for compensation. The real estate agent intervened and said she thought it was incredibly flimsy and that my friend was quite a 'big boy' to be able to do it himself. This felt very belittling because this simply wasn’t how a house should be handed over. It was a very unprofessional attitude from the real estate agent. She was completely on the resident's side. Ultimately, the real estate agent wanted to clean everything up herself and take it in her own car and started collecting the planks. This wouldn’t all fit so we eventually came to a solution with much sighing that we would get compensation for it. Very nice but we both felt uneasy about it. Upon arriving at the notary's office, we discussed the story again and a 'well sorry you want to hear that..' came from the real estate agent. We were very sorry that things went this way when buying our first home. It leaves a bitter aftertaste. Having told this story a few times in our circles, most people concluded that this (fortunately) is not the normal way of doing things. Hence we decided to leave a review and share how our experience with DVA real estate agents has been.

Very professional and friendly, and sold the house quickly and well. Gives good advice regarding the sale itself and if there are any shortcomings. A major plus point is that they are always reachable for their clients and don't work a 9 to 5.

Tineke and Pascal are pleasant, friendly, adequate, decisive, and professional real estate agents. They handled the sale of my house swiftly and it was sold very quickly. I was happy with the support and negotiations from DVA Makelaars. I will recommend them to others. Hans Niezen

Via Google I came across Tineke and Pascal, Appointment can be made on the same day and both by phone and email always reachable, decisive and friendly and very customer-oriented, definitely recommended to engage them!

By chance, I ended up at DVA Makelaars. And I haven't regretted it for a second. The initial telephone contact with Pascal already went very smoothly. It immediately gave me a familiar and good feeling. DVA Makelaars took care of both the purchase of my new home and the sale of my old home for me. I particularly liked the short lines of communication, their constant availability, and the great expertise of Tineke and Pascal. They are very knowledgeable about the local and regional market and the guidance was top! In short: I am very satisfied with DVA and definitely recommend DVA.

Engaged and helpful with the sale of my house. Tineke and Pascal, you are good at your profession. Will definitely recommend you as a real estate agent. Thanks again.

Last spring, we had our parents' apartment sold through Real Estate Agency DVA. I am very satisfied with the way of handling, expertise, accessibility and feedback from Tineke and Pascal. I found it a very pleasant collaboration.

I had a pleasant experience with the sale of my apartment through DVA Real Estate Agency. The sale proceeded very quickly due to the professional approach taken by Tineke, my thanks for this.

We have had good contact with DVA and they were professional. Our house was sold quickly and put on the market for a realistic asking price. We certainly recommend this estate agent.

Great personal guidance! Always accessible for uncertainties, which gives a safe and peaceful feeling when buying or selling your house.

Expert real estate agent who was incredibly accessible and committed to helping us as much as possible with the purchase.

very professional and friendly. Gives good advice for the sale and if there are defects, they are always accessible to their customers. truly a top shoemaker.

Sold a house through DVA for the third time with good results, Expert, realistic, pleasant to deal with and customer-oriented.

Very nice realtor! Now the second time we've engaged this brokerage duo.. Clear agreements, very good communication flow, lovely and involved people! Tineke loves the decisive approach, is on top of everything, knows all the rules! Pascal is also a very involved realtor, very neat and correct, has an eye for fine-tuning, the finishing touch, how your house can best be prepared for sale! He takes photos worthy of VT Wonen! In short, very satisfied and...

Pleasant and accessible communication, a good network, and knowledge of the market make DVA recommended!

Well done! I am satisfied with this realtor. Success! With kind regards, Sandy from Alkmaar

After a long search for a rental property, I ended up with DVA Makelaars. Tineke listened to me, she saw me and took my wishes seriously. My experience with DVA Makelaars is that they focus on people, are honest, empathetic and accessible. Thanks to Tineke, I now have a beautiful home. Thank you Tineke. You are amazing.

From the first moment we met Tineke during an initial viewing, we were enthusiastic and very pleased with the way she expertly looked at and assessed the house being viewed. We are happy that Tineke assisted us in finding and purchasing our new home. DVA Makelaars is always there for us and we have great confidence in their expertise, for which our thanks.

Contact with the broker Tineke Dapper-v Aalst went very pleasantly and well. Is expert, knows the market and acts decisively. After each viewing there was feedback. Actively thought along. Very satisfied with how the entire sale proceeded. Service-oriented, thinks of everything and always friendly!

Within 5 days from viewing to key handover, that's how quickly it could go. We are incredibly happy with the service of DVA during our search for our first rental apartment in the Alkmaar region. Communication was incredibly good, fast, friendly and professional. An absolute recommendation if it were up to us!

Tineke and Pascal literally take all the worries away! A professional duo who are on top of everything and have it covered. The communication is great, and they keep their appointments. My partner and I decided to go with DVA brokers because they give the right advice and don't engage in (quick) sales pitches. They tell you what things are worth, which makes it feel reliable, and they are concrete. This is how my partner and I have not experienced it before. Even with our financing, Tineke and Pascal were able to help us, even though it’s outside their area of expertise. All in all, highly recommended!

Hi Pascal and Tineke, Thanks for finalizing the sale of Luciferstraat. It was an exciting time with tension but also enjoyment. It was pleasant to go through this big change with you both for us. Thanks for the delicious cava. Regards Peggy and Bert

Yes! Pascal and Tineke … what should we write about them… delightfully down-to-earth, they take the time during viewings and say what they think and see. They are clear in their communication and always reachable! They have also been realistic that going along with the frenzy isn't always desirable and share this honestly too! After viewing many houses, our Dream House came onto the market. In one word; “honesty” that is - we find - the most valuable thing about these two hard-working people. (purchase assignment) Do you know the real estate agent who has an eye for detail and hygiene… after we jointly purchased a house, it was time to sell the house. While viewing other houses, we terribly enjoyed (and laughed at) Pascal’s art when it came to “how do you get to know the selling party”. Everything revolves around hygiene… with a delightful description. That set the bar extra high to leave our house as a pearl while we went on vacation! Contact with Tineke during the holiday about the sale of the house! That went perfectly despite the kilometers distance. Signing the temporary purchase contract on the beach was the feeling of ultimate collaboration! Pascal and Tineke, thank you enormously for your commitment, reliability and again honesty! (sale assignment)

My husband and I recently bought our first house with Tineke van Aalst as our buyer's agent. Literally ‘next’ to us, because she went along to viewings, looked critically and positively, and if we had any questions afterwards, Tineke knew how to answer them quickly. During the introductory meeting, we already felt heard and understood by her. Within a few weeks, we found ‘our’ house. Thank you Tineke! You were there for every step of the purchasing process. We have very good experiences with DVA Makelaars and highly recommend them!

We entrusted DVA Makelaars with the sale of our house in the current unfavorable market conditions (a period of rising and rising rents). They competed, met 9 other local real estate agents. We did not make a mistake in our choice. DVA Makelaars demonstrates complete professionalism, commitment and reliability. They were always in contact with us as clients and proved to be particularly skilled negotiators. The house was sold within a short period of 3 weeks for a complete price. Therefore, we wholeheartedly recommend Pascal and Tineke to all potential sellers and buyers.

Recently new purchase and sale assignment via Dapper and van Aalst. Nice realtor. Clear, fast, short lines and truly always reachable. No frills and a good realtor for every price class. I wholeheartedly recommend them! Clara Brons

After initial introductory conversations with other real estate agents, we felt immediately welcome and understood during a conversation with Pascal, instead of customer number . With a sober and concrete approach, Tineke and Pascal helped us to clarify our housing wishes, and clearly indicated the (im)possibilities in different search areas. During viewings, they come along and ask the questions you don't think of yourself and point out details that you overlook. The advice after each viewing was spot-on. After a small adjustment in the search area, we were still able to find our dream house quite quickly. Thanks to the good help with bidding and the purchase, we have now been living for 10 months with great pleasure in a wonderful home.

Great help arranging our dream house for us.

Clear, accurate and very knowledgeable.

DVA is communicative good, professional and pro active throughout the entire sales process. Even when the property has already been sold. You always receive short telephone feedback on the viewings, the cooperation towards the notary is good, easily accessible and quick response. A real estate agent who really does their best for you!

What unpleasant people work there. Friendliness is nowhere to be found.

For the third time at DVA, lovely people with a passion for their business and their clients. The sale of our mother's apartment was completely taken over by them, which allowed us to focus on other matters that were happening at the time and needed our attention.

I have used the services of DVA Makelaars three times: twice to buy and once to sell. Pascal and the entire team are extremely knowledgeable and clearly explain every step of the process. They always respond quickly to an SMS, phone call or email. They communicated excellently with all parties involved in the sale and ensured that everything stayed on schedule and deadlines were met. I can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wants to buy or sell a house. And last but not least, I am very happy with my final choice, which I made with their support.

As expats trying to navigate the Dutch system, we needed complete confidence in our brokers to give a fair and professional assessment of current market values and the condition of the available stock. Pascal and his team exceeded our expectations in every respect. We searched for more than a year for our perfect house and because our advisor Pascal kept a cool head at all times and advised us accordingly, even if this led to the next offer, he never tired of securing the right house for us in a difficult market, which he eventually found and secured after many hours of work. It is also worth mentioning that Pascal always took the time to explain all aspects in English, and as English people, we greatly appreciated that. I would highly recommend Pascal and his team to anyone looking for a home.

Worry-free sale! Very pleasant contact, fun, cozy team! Completely taken care of and with a good feeling the house was sold.

Best service and advice in Alkmaar and surrounding areas.

For the second time, a house of ours has been successfully sold by DVA Makelaars. Due to the positive experience of the first sale, we didn't hesitate for a moment to use the services of DVA Makelaars again. The personal contact with Tineke, Pascal and Patty is very pleasant and the lines are short. You don't feel like a number or one of many. During the viewings, plenty of time is taken for the potential buyer and extensive feedback always follows to the seller. The photos for the brochure were created in-house by Pascal and have become fantastic. We hope to remain living in our new build home for the time being, but if that happens, we know who we will contact for a third time.

After searching for a (affordable) rental property myself for a long time, I engaged the services of DVA Makelaars to help me. Had a few viewings within a short period with good and honest advice, and not long after signed for a property. In short; Personal, professional and honest, for both tenant and landlord.

Honest realtor, points out both the positive and negative aspects of a house during viewings. This creates trust!

We are extremely satisfied with the entire process of purchasing our home. Tineke & Patty fully took care of us throughout the whole process. Recommended as a buyer's agent!

Very fine team, already sold 2 homes through DVA and always good communication, respond quickly and listen well to our wishes. I can't think of a reason not to recommend DVA to friends and acquaintances!

We had a great experience with Pascal. As expats, it is difficult to navigate the Dutch real estate market. He explained the process clearly to us and visited potential homes with us. Fortunately, thanks to his help, we were able to find a home quickly. We highly recommend DVA Makelaars.

We are enormously satisfied with how the team from DVA real estate agents helped us. We were urgently looking for a new rental property and thanks to the quick response of DVA real estate agents, we succeeded! We are very happy with the property and the help from DVA real estate agents.

Good personal purchasing guidance, easily accessible, clear communication and advice.
