After posting our review, we were approached by Mascha's partner: Mischa K. He “knows where I live” and threatens to leave negative reviews at my workplace. We now have to first remove the review before we get the key and building plans back. Subsequently, Mascha blocks me on Facebook. Think carefully before entering into business with Mascha!

“The purpose of 'Google Customer Reviews' is to provide users with useful information about companies, products and services and to support consumers in making informed decisions based on the experiences of others.” We feel compelled to respond to the message that Mascha Zonder of Bijzonder Makelaars recently posted about us on Google, in which she accuses us of not engaging in dialogue. Before we terminated our collaboration with her, we submitted several complaints to her that were never addressed. Ultimately, we shared our experiences in a number of Google reviews; each time this was followed by a response, but never substantive and never directly from herself. First, there was a reaction from her partner, who put pressure on us to remove the review. (this partner also posted a positive review themselves) Subsequently, we received a letter from van Veen lawyers in Ede (see our review of that office) on behalf of Ms. Zonder with various accusations and a summons not to post reviews. Our extensive, well-supported response to this was dismissed with: 'I disagree with everything, but I have no desire to address it.' When we proposed opening an escrow account with the notary of her choice, where she had placed our belongings, there was no reaction whatsoever – neither from her nor from the notary (see also our review there). Also, VastgoedPro, the industry organization to which she is affiliated, did not respond to our request for explanation about her trademark use. To our surprise, we were recently called by the police in Almelo regarding a possible report related to our reviews. This while we have shared a complete file with her lawyer, which has never been refuted. It appears that the police were approached without sharing this information with them. Finally, Ms. Zonder dismisses our damages as 'only' €13.454,- and attributes this to inflation, price increases and an 'overheated housing market'. She forgets that, against her advice, we had to insist on selling via Funda instead of immediately accepting the first offer. Had we followed her advice, the damage would have been approximately €40.000,-. We write this review not out of personal spite, but to give others an objective picture of how this real estate agent functions. We believe it is important to warn against the unprofessional conduct of Mascha Zonder: she does not communicate professionally or at all, avoids responsibility and tries to shift her own shortcomings onto her clients. Moreover, she would have caused us significant financial damage of approximately €40.000,- had we followed her advice. Absolutely not recommended. From the previous review: 'BijZonder makelaars has failed to demonstrate the ability to guide the sale of our family home on Tijhofslaan in a businesslike manner. Despite the considerable interest in the property, she repeatedly tried to rip us off. Instead of communicating properly, she does not shy away from spreading false information and putting pressure on us. We still do not have our house key and building plans back, so we cannot pay the start-up costs invoice. Her lawyer is now also threatening extrajudicial collection costs and interest. Because we hear nothing more from her or her lawyer, we are now considering filing a complaint with the Disciplinary Committee of Real Estate Professionals to protect others from this kind of abuse.'

14 years ago I purchased my house through Mascha. Her honesty and enthusiasm at the time ensured that I now asked Bijzonder makelaars for the sale of this property. Now too, I am looking back on a very pleasant collaboration. Mascha is professional and involved, she takes the time for both the seller and the viewers. This has given me great confidence and resulted in a fantastic sale. Mascha, thank you very much for your efforts!
