2Translated by AIStay far away from this company! I recently bought my apartment in a top location in Rotterdam with Lex Hoogeveen as the real estate agent. The written documentation was incorrect. There were certain verbal promises that were not fulfilled. When I spoke to Lex about this, he suddenly forgot what had been promised. Even after I gave a clear statement about the extra costs, the company simply refused to pay the reasonable compensation I had asked for. Lex is just a scammer who takes no responsibility for what he sells. Karsten Eskelund

10Translated by AIIn just a few weeks, Joris and his team managed to sell our house in Rotterdam. The first initial conversation, taking the wonderful photos, the viewings and discussing the offers, everything went smoothly. Throughout the entire process, you as a seller are fully supported. We are also very pleased with the way of communication. You are kept informed about every step and all your questions are answered professionally. We can definitely recommend Oosten Makelaardij.

10Translated by AIThe sales process went smoothly and we had many viewers. But what you don't want (and expect) happened to us: the buyer pulled out and the other offers fell through. Joris has guided us very well in this and weighed the options with us. Because of that, he gave us the confidence to go back into the sales process after a short break. We found that exciting and there was attention for it. The second attempt did go according to plan and we are very happy with the sales result and how we were guided in this. So also (exactly!) when it's a bit exciting, the expert guidance and personal attention from Joris are very nice. The contact with the other colleagues was also very pleasant. We can wholeheartedly recommend Van Oosten Makelaardij!

10Translated by AIVroesenlaan 30a We are very satisfied with Joris and his team. He is really there for our interests. He just came up with extra ideas that make the sales better and faster. We are happy with the extra step they keep taking. The communication has also gone very well. At every viewing or every step in the sales process we are called. Next time we will go into business with him again.

10Translated by AII have experienced my contact with Van Oosten Makelaardij as very pleasant. I was the buying party where Van Oosten represented the interests of the selling party, so not 'directly' involved with them. Nevertheless, the cooperation and professional contact were very nice and useful. I would recommend it to everyone!

10Translated by AIVan Oosten ensured that my property was sold. Their knowledge of the market in Rotterdam and insight into the details of my property made sure it was sold quickly. At Van Oosten, they know exactly how a buyer thinks. Extremely satisfied with the quality.

2Translated by AIWhat a disgrace. A waste of your money! My friend and I would have had both the purchase and sale go through van Oosten. Because we were interested in a property that was for sale with them, they could not logically be our purchase agent. The purchase went anything but smoothly. After the assistant real estate agent had told us that our offer was accepted, we wanted to get everything moving as quickly as possible to secure the financing. To achieve this, we had to arrange all the necessary things before the valuation report. Apparently van Oosten has a regulation that this is not allowed within the 3-day cooling-off period. Instead of making this clear, the assistant real estate agent came up with all sorts of objections (in an extremely unfriendly manner), making us feel as if the house could collapse at any moment. It became lengthy phone discussions that we experienced as very unpleasant. Moreover, we wanted our contractor to come along so he could provide a cost estimate for the valuation report, allowing us to finance the renovation. The assistant real estate agent said that we ourselves were not allowed to come along. After a heated discussion, we were finally allowed to go in ourselves, but we were ushered inside and watched as if we were a group of criminals. Extremely peculiar, considering that you almost outbid a house by a ton. At the final inspection, it turned out there was an enormous hole in the wall behind a painting, which was only noticed after signing the final inspection report. This led to a discussion at the notary with the sellers, and when she called Lex he said that van Oosten could not be blamed for the fact that they had not mentioned it an hour before signing and after the final inspection. He even wondered himself whether he should have reported it at all, so that we only found out after signing at the notary. A bizarre malpractice in my opinion. Especially considering that a real estate agent represents the sellers and concealing such matters can have legal consequences. Then the sales process. This also did not go as you would expect. The real estate agent was hard to reach and the overall communication and working methods were extremely sloppy, read: wrong measurement report, wrong photos and wrong floor plans uploaded. When asked to correct everything, it all went extremely slowly and had to be followed up by phone, after which they indicated that they indeed forgot and it was good that I called. However, in an evaluation meeting, they mainly pointed out that I would have been very impatient. Remarkable that there was no form of self-reflection at all. Also, it had been agreed that before the real estate agent's vacation, the file would be ready so that it could be put online with one click if we had acquired a property ourselves. This promise was not kept, leaving their colleagues with an incomplete file. Because it was very busy, and they only have two real estate agents, and the assistant real estate agent had an extremely busy schedule, it was stated that there was no rush and the property could also be put online a week later. For me, however, this meant having to bridge the time or not and incurring many extra costs and having to go for a more complicated mortgage form. Therefore, they totally failed to consider the client's interests. When I raised this in the evaluation meeting, it was laughed off with 'it all turned out well in the end'. I could still mention 100 details about things that went wrong, but I'll spare everyone the trouble. All in all, it was an extremely arduous process (or actually two processes) and a headache file. I had to organize almost everything myself and chase it up, making me really wonder exactly what I was paying for. I would therefore strongly advise against spending money here and handling it yourself.

2Translated by AIMy experience with Van Oosten Makelaardij during the purchase process was unfortunately far from positive. From the moment our offer was accepted, the communication was awkward, unclear and regularly occurred in a downright unfriendly manner. As soon as we heard our offer had been accepted, we wanted to immediately get started on arranging the financing. For that, among other things, we had to make preparations for the valuation report. What we did not know, however, was that Van Oosten applies an internal rule whereby no valuation may be requested or even visited within the three-day cooling-off period. Instead of simply explaining this clearly, we were faced with all sorts of objections and discussions that were entirely unhelpful. The tone was more suspicious than advisory, which gave us the feeling that we were doing something wrong, while we wanted to act as transparently and proactively as possible. Another important point of frustration was our request to bring in our contractor. We wanted certain things measured, among other things for a future renovation and the realization of a rooftop terrace. That estimate was needed to include in the financing, so that everything could be neatly arranged within the mortgage. That request was initially rejected, with the argument that we were not allowed to be present ourselves. Only after repeated insistence was this allowed, but the visit itself went anything but pleasant: we were literally accompanied and monitored as if there was not a single trust in us. That was a strange and unpleasant experience, especially considering the fact that we had offered seriously and well above the asking price. Also during the final inspection, it did not go as expected. Afterwards, it turned out that behind a painting there was a big hole in the wall, something that was only mentioned after signing the inspection report and just before the notarial transfer. When we raised this issue, no responsibility was taken from the real estate agent. In fact, it was even suggested that perhaps it would have been better not to mention it at all. I found that really incomprehensible and unprofessional. As a result, the entire purchase process felt unnecessarily complicated and stressful. Instead of a real estate agent who empathizes, advises and relieves you, we felt that we had to continuously defend why we wanted to know or arrange something. All in all, I experienced the process as very frustrating. The communication was lacking, the attitude often unfriendly, and there was hardly any consideration for the buyer's interests. I would therefore not recommend Van Oosten Makelaardij. Organize everything nicely yourself and make sure that when purchasing a property through them, you concretely clarify and check everything. Cover yourself well in advance!

10Translated by AIJupiterstraat 264 I am extremely satisfied with Van Oosten Real Estate! I received good and expert advice, and my home was sold within 3.5 weeks — really a record time. After each viewing round I got a neat update, which I found very pleasant. My questions were always answered quickly and the team was genuinely helpful. Such service and involvement you don't come across anymore these days. A real recommendation!
