Disappointing experience with Teer Makelaars Beverwijk – lack of clear communication After months of preparation and consultation, we as a family had a disappointing experience with Teer Makelaars Beverwijk regarding the potential purchase of the retail property in which my husband has been active for more than 21 years as a tenant and entrepreneur. At the beginning of this year, he was approached by Teer Makelaars with the message that there was an opportunity to purchase the property as an existing tenant. This was presented as a serious opportunity, and we did everything possible to realize this step. Several mortgage quotes were requested, a professional appraisal was carried out, and we agreed to the proposed selling price. We were ready to finalize the purchase. After months of communication, however, we unexpectedly received notification that the sale would not proceed after all because the plans had changed and the property would be sold to a third party. This message came without further explanation or consultation, which overwhelmed and disappointed us, both personally and professionally. What makes this situation particularly bitter is that – as far as we know – the ultimate buyer has no interest in the retail space itself, but only in the overlying apartment. This raised questions about the motives behind the choices made. We have experienced the communication during this process as deficient. There was little transparency and no room for an open discussion about the situation that arose, while it has had a major impact on us as entrepreneurs. We believe it is important to share our experience so that others are aware of the importance of clear agreements and good communication in such processes. We hope that Teer Makelaars will handle similar processes more carefully in the future and with the people involved.

After 21 years of being a tenant with full dedication in a retail space in Beverwijk, I was approached at the beginning of this year by Teer Makelaars with what appeared to be a unique opportunity: the possibility of purchasing the building where I have run my business for two decades. I was clearly told that as an existing tenant, I had first right to buy the property — a signal that I took seriously. Finally, a chance at security, stability and independence after years of investing at the same location. I seized this opportunity with both hands. In a short time, I requested several mortgage quotes, had an independent valuation carried out, held intensive consultations with my own real estate agent and declared myself fully in agreement with the asking price. Everything in my actions testified to complete transparency, good preparation and genuine intention. I was ready to finalize the purchase quickly and professionally. What happened next completely destroyed my trust in Teer Makelaars. Suddenly and without any warning, I was completely sidelined. To my astonishment, I heard that the property would “after all” be sold as a whole to a third party. I was not informed about this beforehand, received no explanation, no formal rejection, no conversation — nothing. No respect for my long-term commitment or the promises made earlier. As if my serious purchase intention and all my preparations were completely irrelevant. What makes this situation even more distressing: as far as I know, the buyer was only interested in the upstairs apartment and not in the retail space. There was therefore no functional necessity to not sell the retail space to me. It appears that simply the easiest or fastest way has been chosen, without any consideration for me as a loyal tenant and entrepreneur. The shop has now been definitively sold to another party. This means not only a chance has been lost, but my trust in Teer Makelaars has also been seriously damaged. The way they treated me — the lack of transparency, ignoring communication, failing to keep promises and the complete absence of honest consultation — has caused deep frustration and anger in me. This was not just a business disappointment, but also a personal feeling of disrespect and exclusion. I feel misled, and the entire process has made me look at the practices of this real estate agent with great suspicion ever since. The communication was not only deficient, but at crucial moments even completely absent. That is unacceptable in a process with such significant consequences for someone's future and life’s work. Although I have considered legal action, I now mainly choose to share my experience publicly. Other tenants and entrepreneurs need to know how serious candidates are treated. After more than two decades of tenancy, I deserved at least honesty and transparency. Teer Makelaars seriously failed in this case — on a communicative, professional and moral level.

We are incredibly satisfied with our experience with Teer Makelaars when selling our house. From the first contact to the completion of the sale, the communication was clear and pleasant. The lines were short, so we always received quick and clear answers to our questions. The team is professional, involved and really thinks along with you. Thanks to their expertise and personal approach, we experienced the entire process as very positive. We would therefore recommend Teer without a doubt to anyone looking for a reliable and service-oriented real estate agent!

Good experience with it

Great help with the sale of our house by a young and dynamic team. Thank you.

Greatly assisted by a friendly team. Because our search took quite some time, we maintained good contact and kept the brochure updated every time so that when we were going to put the house up for sale, we could act very quickly. Perfectly arranged by Teer.

Teer excellently helped us with the search and eventual purchase of our house. Very patient (they guided us through several viewings over more than 6 months), always easily accessible, kept appointments, provided expert advice on the price of a house, careful in handling after we reached an agreement with the sellers, and always willing to answer questions. Absolutely worth the money!

Very pleasant to do business with!
