I have no doubt that there are decent people working at Holland West. However, their ongoing cooperation with Nationale Vastgoed Groep (NVG) is a major concern for me. NVG is known for not repaying security deposits even after 3 months! I expect that Holland West will respond by 'clarifying' that they only acted as an intermediary and had no access to, or influence over, the refunding of security deposits. So why do they continue to cooperate with such a rather dubious organization? If you are an expat living in the Netherlands and you are presented with a contract that includes both NVG and Holland West, especially if you are desperate, run away. I should have done that as well. Response to Holland West: As predicted, Holland West wants you to believe that they have no influence on the contracts that THEY have drawn up. They want you to ignore the very predictable, dubious behavior of their preferred partner, NVG. They want you to ignore their role in luring expats with an anonymous organization. If you live abroad and fall into this trap, remember that you had a choice. For me, it has already been almost four months... And yes, I had contacted both Holland West and NVG multiple times before the first evaluation.

Advises well, maintains good contact, thinks along well, and arranges everything down to the last detail for the customer

We have experienced the cooperation with real estate agent Holland-West as very positive. The real estate agent has done good work and found the right buyer for our home. During the entire sales process, he gave expert and clear advice, which kept us well informed at all times. The communication also proceeded pleasantly and smoothly, making the entire process much more pleasant. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, the sale has been successfully completed without any worries. We can highly recommend this real estate agent...

Good and reliable real estate agent. In the fast changing market, they managed to successfully complete the sale quickly and well. They are professional and play short on the ball. This party is highly recommended. Professional and reliable.

I am still waiting for the return of my rent that expired in November 2025. Much success to all expats who have to live in the Netherlands for a short period and want to get their rent back.

I contacted the team of Holland West to discuss the possibilities for renting an apartment; the response was relatively quick and very detailed. From that moment on, everything proceeded professionally until the end. Based on this experience, I would recommend everyone interested in renting a property in Leiden to contact them.

The contacts with Chris v.d. Berg from Holland West Makelaardij were pleasant and professional. Good guidance and correct handling of the sale of the house.

Run away!! ⚠️ ⚠️ It is better not to sign a contract with Hollandwest: you cannot look ahead, but then you end up dealing with hygiene problems (smell), a broken lift, they make you sign a contract that they themselves do not manage and most tenants have trouble getting their deposit back on time (Hollandwest has known this for years, but does not tell you). All the neighbors I know have not gotten their deposit back on time and incurred unexpected costs. It seems like a conspiracy between Hollandwest and NGV to rip us off. NB: There are illegal clauses in the contract, drafted by Hollandwest.

Good contact, every step is discussed. Very professional, open and friendly. Knowledge about the housing market. Listening well and thinking along.

This is the second house that I have been allowed to sell via Holland West and this has again been very well received

Very helpful service on short notice.

Chris has helped us incredibly well in finding our new home. He was always easy to reach, thought actively with us and was open to our views and ideas. What we especially appreciated is that he acted quickly when needed, from a pleasant contact and mutual trust. That gave peace of mind and the feeling that we were doing this together. A nice real estate agent who we certainly recommend.

Good advice, properly helped! Nice real estate.

I had a very good experience with Holland West. The team was professional, responded quickly and communicated easily during my rental period with them in Leiden. When I wanted to rent something, everything was handled quickly and efficiently. The apartment was very comfortable and centrally located. They also offer a parking space. Johan was particularly helpful and was always quickly available for me. I can wholeheartedly recommend their service.

1/5 – Experience-Oriented. AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS. I rented an apartment from this company (Holland West) for 6 months and it was honestly one of the worst rental experiences I've ever had. 1. Security Deposit Nightmare They refused to return my deposit until I took legal action. I finally got the deposit back after four months, and even then the legal process cost me money. My neighbor had exactly the same experience and also had to take steps to get her money back (same company, same building). That says it all. 2. Freezing Cold, Unlivable Temperatures The apartment was inhumane to live in. There was only one small radiator in one room and absolutely no heating in the bedroom. The indoor temperature was less than 15°C and I literally had to wear a jacket inside the house. Moreover, they turned off the heating in April, while it was still 1-2°C at night. I paid more than €1600 per month for this. 3. Extra Charges For Everything They charged me for completely ridiculous things – for example, a regular cutting board that was slightly scratched and somewhat discolored from use. When I complained about the freezing cold, they gave me an electric heater... and later charged me €405 for “extra electricity usage”. If the apartment had been properly heated, I wouldn't have needed that heater in the first place. They did the same with my neighbor. 4. Dirty Environment Outside the building, there was always trash on the ground. It looked dirty and seemed to never be cleaned up. There was also a sort of animal pasture nearby, and the smell of sheep manure often hung in the air. My advice: DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER RENTING HERE. Holland West did nothing to help, ignored problems and charged extra fees wherever possible. I regret having ever gotten involved with this company.

Fine, honest and good real estate agent, takes time for you. With questions you can always go to them. Will definitely recommend Holland West.

Holland West is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and gets the job done when it's a bit tough. A must recommend!

Very satisfied, our house was sold quickly and professionally. The price was above our expectations. Furthermore, a very pleasant cooperation.

Holland West realtors has guided us very well in the sale of our home. Everything went according to agreement and the communication was very clear.

Arie-Jan van Klaveren from Holland West Real Estate has excellently guided us both in the purchase of our new home and in the sale of our old home. The contact was always helpful, pleasant, and professional.

A company where personal contact is still highly valued and where agreements are reliably kept. That certainly deserves to be mentioned, keep up the good work men!

Terrible fast service when calling, good and clear contact and advice, top company and definitely recommended!!

Roderick and his team provided a fast and pleasant service with the sale of our home. R&R real estate has a superb business model for the seller where I saved many costs. In addition, communication was quick and my property was put on the market very quickly and professionally. Highly recommended!

Very negative experience. Performed work related to the rental of a commercial building and caused exorbitantly high rates that resulted in the owner and I being directly opposed to each other. Very rude and primitive conversation. Not recommended!

Highly skilled, collaborative, customer-focused and reliable. A definite recommendation

Great customer-focused, expert people! Very good conversation with Angela

Not collaborative As the selling party, I would look for another broker since it’s asking too much to collaborate with potential buyers

The contact went well and the guidance and approach were quick and professional. The house was sold quickly, so very happy with that.

We are sharing our very negative experience with Joep Vergunst from Koppes Makelaardij regarding the sale of our home. During the sales process, we were systematically inadequately informed about the progress. Updates on offers, negotiations and the status of the purchase agreement were only received after we repeatedly asked for them ourselves. Transparency was completely lacking. In addition, the communication was often abrupt and unprofessional. Questions were met with dismissive responses, and at one point we were told to “stop messaging” and “just wait it out.” We found this very disrespectful and unprofessional. As we were living abroad during the process, we granted the real estate agent a power of attorney to act on our behalf. Exactly in that situation, extra care and communication should be expected. Nevertheless, we were not actively informed when the purchase agreement was signed. Not even a simple feedback or congratulations was provided. We consider this unprofessional and indicative of a lack of involvement. What we find even more serious are remarks about potential buyers with a foreign background. It was suggested that certain target groups “would fit better in the street” and that “Dutch people here are not so keen to live,” also mentioning the proximity of a mosque. We find these statements inappropriate and discriminatory. Based on our experience, we do not recommend this real estate agent.

Excellently executed! I have been working with Koppes for a considerable time in the purchase and sale of real estate, and with Koppes I have a very good and reliable partner.

Due to circumstances, I unexpectedly had to look for a rental property, which was quite a stressful period. At Koppes Makelaardij/Verhuur in Alphen aan den Rijn, I came into contact with Hetty Duijnisveld, and what she meant to me is almost indescribable. I have rarely experienced someone being so reliable: all appointments were kept, I was continuously well-informed, and she actively thought along with me. Hetty not only helped me in making choices but also critically and honestly looked at my situation, which I greatly appreciated. The past three months, she has really gotten me through it. Thanks to her, I can move into a new rental property as of 1 March, which I am extremely happy about. That feels almost surreal. In the meantime, my file is being taken over by the real estate company and honestly, I find it secretly disappointing that I no longer have contact with her, as the collaboration was so pleasant. This review is therefore more than deserved: Hetty has helped me incredibly well, and I am very grateful to her. Koppes Makelaardij may be extremely proud of such an involved and professional employee.

Verbal agreement on my bid, congratulate me and then an hour later still cancel. Very inconsiderate and not done!

Good friendly service. Answers come immediately or quickly. There is a lot to discuss! Your own real estate agent and if she is sick, yes, an agent can also be sick or have a day off, it is stated in advance that there is a replacement and who it is. A very nice experience doing business with Koppes in Alphen aan den Rijn. Thank you all, Greetings, Hans

The real estate agent of Koppes was very knowledgeable and everything has been professionally and adequately handled. Then I have in particular the visit planning of interested parties as well as contact with the final buyers.

With this I would like to say the following: This is the real estate agency in Alphen aan den Rijn where agents and staff work with heart and soul! After a long search for a rental property, this real estate agency helped me find a home. For that I am eternally grateful to them. Classy work by everyone! In particular, I would like to mention two names: Hetty and Joep — what superheroes! Thank you!

Koppes Real Estate is an absolutely lovely agency to work with. Joep and the rest of the team were involved throughout the entire process, professional and genuinely interested in my wishes. They actively thought along with me, gave clear advice and were always ready to answer questions. The availability was excellent — I felt well-informed and heard at every moment. What I especially appreciate is their personal approach, friendly service and the verm…

The contact with the real estate agent was excellent, kept well informed every time, can recommend this real estate agent

Koppes real estate is absolutely a recommendation! Joep and his team have helped us well. Neatly taken care of without any hassle.

We recently worked with Koppes to sell our home, and the experience was excellent. They were professional, responsive, and guided us through every step of the process with clarity and confidence. Their expertise made the entire transaction smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Selling our home through Koppes Makelaardij was a pleasant experience: clear communication, friendly and professional people. Their dedication has ensured that the sale proceeded smoothly. We wholeheartedly recommend real estate agent Koppes!

The real estate agent has helped us very well. The contact was friendly and professional. It is our third house that he has guided us with.

From the beginning of the sale to the end, excellent contact was maintained with the real estate agent. Also, the information exchange from both sides has been more than satisfactory.

A house bought and sold, the guidance of Koppes real estate agency went very smoothly, questions were answered quickly and clearly.

Unfortunately, not such a positive review about Koppes. As a buyer, I have contacted Koppes, and during the transfer, always received quick and correct responses, which was very pleasant. Unfortunately, after the transfer, a completely different experience. There are some things that were presented differently during the viewing than reality. Unfortunately, it is not possible to have a normal conversation about this. Koppes has not responded to emails in 8 weeks, and the promised callbacks have also not been followed up on. Further than: 'we will call back tomorrow' we did not get to a conversation. Very sorry that there is no possible communication. Based on the communication before the transfer, I had expected a normal conversation. Unfortunately, there is no possible communication. Still two stars, because the communication before the transfer was good.

Selling our home through real estate agent Koppes was an especially pleasant experience. Koppes guided us step by step through the entire process and provided advice that was both professional and personal. Their involvement and commitment ensured that the sale proceeded smoothly and exceeded our expectations by a large margin. We can wholeheartedly recommend real estate agent Koppes to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and personal real estate agent!

Made agreements were perfectly and on time fulfilled. Photo reportage and corresponding description looked perfect.

Within a period of one year, twice making use of the services of Koppes Makelaars. Both times experienced that a competent and involved team is ready for you.

Unreliable but above all misleading and communication is even worse. Say one thing and do another. One star is actually still too many.

does not respond to questions, does not keep his promise!!!

Too bad Oudijk Makelaardij never contacts you when you have a question!!!!
