We received good advice from Jaap Retz. He is always accessible and involved. In short, everything you look for in a mortgage advisor!

I called Klaassen & Retz this afternoon with a somewhat hurried question about taking out a mortgage. Ron immediately took action for us and within 15 minutes we already had an answer. Thanks again Ron!!! We are happy with you. Regards Sean & Anouk

Jaap completely relieved and assisted me during the sales process, then sold the property at a good price. Top man.

Good service. Friendly and accommodating. Have been using them for years.

Great guidance and support. Communication is clear and fast

I received excellent help with the advice and the final result. It was a difficult delivery, but they really did their best to achieve a result. My thanks are great

First, you are warmly welcomed. They put you at ease immediately with their welcome and it feels as if they've known you for years. They provide neat, tailored advice and look at your needs and wishes. After that, they see how they can accommodate this. They explain all the steps in clear language so you really know where you stand. When you have a question and ask via email or app, you get a very quick response. Nothing but praise for these people!

We are incredibly pleased with the professional and personal service we received from Klaassen & Retz. From the very first conversation, we felt understood and well guided. Our advisor took the time to listen to our wishes and needs and developed a tailor-made financial plan. He explained everything clearly so that we knew exactly where we stood. The communication was always fast and efficient, and our questions were thoroughly answered. Thanks to the expertise of our advisor, we were able to confidently complete the purchase of our home. We highly recommend our financial advisor to anyone looking for expert advice and a personal approach. Thank you for everything!

At Klaassen & Retz it's always like coming home. In addition to Ron, Jaap and Alexander giving you cozy and personal attention, they are also very skilled and true professionals. The help of the past few months was not the first job we had done by them, and in this case Jaap, but it certainly won't be the last either. Fantastic fun, warm, friendly and professional company that consistently deserves five stars from us. Not getting it? No, they’ve earned it again.

We received excellent advice and assistance during a somewhat difficult process. Jaap and Ron think in terms of possibilities and are solution-oriented, which they certainly succeeded in doing! In short, highly recommended.

Ron helped us more than excellently with our mortgage application. It was a very complex situation, but Ron saw a challenge in that. If you are looking for an advisor who sticks with it and puts everything into getting it done, you've come to the right place!

We are very pleased with the friendly and expert service.

We have been a customer of the firm Klaassen and Retz for a long time. Ron was always our contact person who was unavailable this time due to our planning. So Jaap became our point of contact for a new mortgage. And I must add that both gentlemen are equally skilled and explain everything in simple terms. When you enter, you are always greeted cheerfully by the men, Alexander not excluded. The process for the mortgage was clear, smooth, and good. In other words, no different ever.

For the 4th time in a row, everything was perfectly arranged. It went wonderfully again! Together looking at future plans, especially jointly brainstorming about the possibilities. They are top performers

Jaap rets is a man who would put his hands in the fire for you and is always willing to take the phone call. Whenever I have questions (often). He helps quickly. With Klaassen and rets, it feels much more personal than any other.

You are not a number, it's personal and we found that very nice. For everyone who wants to buy or sell a house, we recommend them.

From beginning to end, we had a great experience with Irene at People On The Move. Irene was recommended to us by another very satisfied customer and I am happy to say that we can now wholeheartedly recommend her as well. She is both friendly and professional and we are very pleased with the quality and efficiency of the service.

Excellent service!

Irene and her team were incredible throughout the entire rental process. Her personal dedication and involvement in finding the ideal tenants for our beloved family home were truly impressive. She was attentive to every detail of the project and ensured that everything ran smoothly. We highly recommend Irene to anyone who values a personal approach, thorough tenant screening, and tailored solutions. Thank you, Irene – it was an absolute pleasure to work with People on the Move!

Very positive experience with people on the move. Irene helped us with the purchase of an apartment. Knowledgeable advice, easily accessible, positive, thinks along well, flexible and dedicated. In addition, a lot of patience and humour as well. In short, very happy with them!

Very pleased with People On The Move Expat Brokers. Irene helped me well with finding a house. Searching for a house in Amsterdam is not easy but here the right help was offered. Ultimately, we were able to find a nice house in a pleasant neighborhood.

Very satisfied with People On The Move Expat Brokers. Irene is professional, knowledgeable and very flexible. She was available during evenings and weekends, which allowed us to reach a transaction quickly. Thank you for your good service Irene!

Excellent service! Irene has been professional, fully informed about everything, fast and reliable throughout the entire process. I arranged the house and all arrangements very quickly. Highly recommended

Great service. Irene was very helpful and friendly. It's always nice to deal with well-informed and friendly people when you move to a new country. I will definitely recommend People on the Move for your housing needs.

Collaboration with Irene and Andries was simply fantastic. Communication was excellent from beginning to end! If we need a home again in the future, I will definitely contact them again.

I can confirm that People on the Move Expat Brokers strives for a sustainable and personal relationship. We have been working together for over 5 years now, and they manage our entire rental portfolio. Speed, market knowledge, with a pragmatic and personal approach. I would describe their motto as: say what you do and do what you say. Andries and Irene are good sparring partners regarding the constantly changing rental market. Therefore, I want to express my compliments to the entire team for the pleasant cooperation.

Last year I collaborated with Mensen in Beweging when I was looking to purchase my first home. Unfortunately, my experience was far from good and ended on a very unpleasant note: I hired Irene Timmerman as my real estate agent for a fee that was higher than the standard rate in Amsterdam, because she claimed to offer an end-to-end service. Throughout the entire period, I observed a lack of proactivity on her part when searching and sharing properties. Her approach lacked thoroughness, which ultimately led me to search for homes on Funda myself and share them with her to help schedule appointments, which often occurred just before the closing date. This created additional pressure in the decision-making process in an already competitive market. She also claimed to have an extensive network of real estate agents, but I quickly realized that this was not entirely the case, as her focus was more on rentals. Even her assessment of properties was taken from a rental perspective, rather than a purchase one. Because we made little progress over almost a year, I decided to terminate the contract. I gave her feedback and requested to part ways, as I was not satisfied with her services. Cancellation fees of € 1500 were involved in the contract, which I also learned was not common, since most real estate agents work on a 'no-cure-no-pay' basis. When I asked to meet personally to share my feedback, she also refused to come to Amsterdam because, according to her, “the gas price was too high.” She also called me ‘insecure’ and emotional about my search criteria, the criteria she adhered to at the start of our contract. She threatened collection measures if the fee were not paid within two weeks. This has been an extremely unpleasant experience and in comparison to the Real Estate Agent with whom I collaborated afterwards, I see the lack of expertise and professionalism of People on the Move. They may have a track record in rentals, but I would strongly advise against using them as an expat buying a home in Amsterdam.

We had a great experience with the company. Irene was super helpful throughout the entire process of getting someone to rent our home. She is a very knowledgeable and friendly person. Much better than other real estate agents we have used in the past, would definitely work with her again. Thank you, Irene!

We had a great experience with People On The Move. They were super professional, friendly and always available. They supported us from beginning to end and provided help and advice at every step of the process. Without their help, achieving our goal would not have been possible. We can wholeheartedly recommend their services to all non-Dutch people coming to the Netherlands.

Finding an apartment in Amsterdam is not an easy task. Irene and her team did this excellently and after 2 weeks the apartment was approved. I highly recommend them 100%

As a first homeowner and expat here in NL, I couldn't have asked for better service to find my new house. Irene and the entire People On the Move team were amazing! Efficient, fast, work on weekends - if you also have a busy schedule - to ensure their client has confidence in their decision. Absolutely recommended!

Wow! People On The Move was amazing. They have excellent market knowledge and a helpful team of people who guided us through the entire home buying process. Imagine you are new to a country and making one of the most important decisions in your life: where you will live and raise your family. Meet Irene, our fantastic Broker, who first got to know us; where we work, how we prefer to commute, what we enjoy doing when we're not working, which sports we were interested in, whether we like gardens, would we be interested in expansion and renovation, what was our hunger for history versus modern aspects, etc. etc.… Then Irene refined the specific neighborhoods in and around cities throughout the Netherlands that met our needs. Irene captured important details about the history, culture(s), recreational opportunities, education, transport considerations of different areas and other information that many other brokers don't even think of - such intricacies that would allow us to truly find comfort and satisfaction. Then came the fierce competition in the Dutch housing market. We bought our house at the peak of the busy past few years, when homes were sold within days after they came on the market. With Irene’s contacts we enjoyed great viewings and thanks to her speed we were usually the first to view a property. Irene's advice was invaluable, from negotiating bids and contract conditions to identifying houses that required extensive repairs. In addition to the purchase, Irene and Andries also gave us a lot of insight into Dutch life, hiring contractors, social opportunities and neighborhood etiquette. We were fantastically guided throughout the entire process and well informed at every level. Fast forward to today and we are becoming increasingly happier in our home and our decision to work with People On The Move. Thank you very much.

Engaged and reliable broker who is easily accessible. Highly recommended due to the personal approach, ready knowledge and flexible working method. In short, we are very satisfied

Contact with our real estate agent went very well. He explained everything that was happening very clearly. We are enormously happy with our real estate agent. Handled things adequately and calmly. In such a difficult and intense period of selling your house and buying another, you can easily have her assist you. We are also enormously grateful to her.

Annemarie Geels, realtor from Huisinzicht, assisted us in a pleasant and hassle-free manner in the sale of our deceased great-uncle's apartment. Her involved, personal, (pro)active attitude and guidance ensured that the apartment was taken over by a new young owner, to whom we wish much enjoyment and living pleasure.

Greatly assisted by Annemarie in the sale of our house! Always easily accessible and quick and good sale of our house.

Everything went very smoothly and quickly. The real estate agent took our wishes and availability into account. No comments.

Thank you for the very pleasant viewing, all the time and peace and no pushy sales pitches

Annemarie is a very committed real estate agent. She guided us fantastically in our search for a new home, which surprisingly led us to a new place of residence. She has extensive knowledge and looks with a sharp eye in all corners and crevices. Her guidance took a lot of unrest from us and we are incredibly happy with our wonderful home. In addition, she is clear in her communication and delivers an excellent quality/price ratio. We would definitely recommend Annemarie!

Great realtor with 200% commitment and attention, who doesn't sell tricks, but honestly and fairly says where things stand!

Worst realtor I could ever experience. My fiancé and I had a viewing for a house. My fiancé and I were well on time. The door is opened and we are harshly rejected, not even offering an apology. She didn't give us the chance to view the house either, then she starts telling us that she had emailed and called us, that the house was sold. Totally untrue. Not a friendly realtor!!!

Great woman, great at her work. 😃

The real estate agent guided every step of the process, provided correct advice and determined strategy, and brought the administration in order for the notary. Received a good price for the property.

The realtor did more than necessary. Took a lot of administration out of their hands and gave correct advice, which resulted in the process running smoothly.

Just attended a viewing. Despite the property not being of interest to us, Mr. da Costa was able to inform us well with useful tips to continue our search. Very professional and helpful, without being pushy. We will stay in touch, thank you!

Poor, unreliable, rude real estate agency. Doesn't call back anymore. What a mess

Perfectly fine, excellent guidance and good personal contact. Highly recommended. The commitment of this realtor is 100%. You can't imagine better proposals.

Excellent real estate agent! Expert, honest and flexible.

I've been living in my fantastic house for over 3 months now, partly thanks to Leslie. We have searched through many advertisements together, visited neighborhoods and viewed houses. Leslie thinks out of the box, is very involved, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would definitely recommend engaging Leslie.

The real estate agent takes the time for the sale and is involved with the selling party, considering moving and improvement possibilities.

Everything went very well with the appraisal and sale and handling. We are very satisfied with this realtor.

Unfortunately, I cannot give a lower score than this. The worst real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Knew how to talk a lot about his personal life, friends and how much money they have but didn't know the important things like the location of the garden and property boundary, for example. Several loved ones wondered if Mendes is a real realtor or does this as a hobby. Never seen such a poorly written purchase agreement! I would recommend Mendes if you want to know a lot about his personal affairs but if you really want to know something substantial about a house, I would run past this realtor.

Terrible realtor, says a lot does little. Empty promises. Made mistake after mistake with everything and the purchase agreement, and doesn't even do it himself but has it done. Everything is handled by phone, nothing is answered by email or app so you have little to rely on if you have complaints. He is not affiliated with any organization either, so complaining afterwards is pointless. Be careful with this realtor, sweet talk to get a commission. Once he has it, you are no longer interesting and he only earns brokerage fees.

Leslie is a good and fine realtor. He takes that one extra step to make every transaction a success. Truly a professional, with an added touch.

Lesley is a class apart. Expert, skilled, thorough and goes far beyond average brokers. A real recommendation.

I ended up with Leslie through my mortgage advisor. He was incredibly positive about this sales broker. And... he was completely right! Leslie is an incredibly friendly, social and very competent sales broker. He is extremely good at what he does and he delivered what he promises to do. A real recommendation as a sales broker! If I want to sell my house again in the future, I will contact Leslie immediately. Thanks for everything!

Very satisfied with real estate agent Mendes. Clear, no-nonsense, professional, very helpful and friendly.

I experienced realtor Mendes as: A friendly, smooth-going, warm, cheerful personality. He thinks along with you, offers help, is very professional, gives tips and advice. Is open and honest. Realistic representation of things, does not create too high expectations. Always reachable even outside office hours. Bringing documents or a trip to the notary, nothing is too much asked. Is patient and will calmly explain matters that are unclear. Takes into account separating partners and will communicate with them separately and respect their privacy. I will certainly recommend Mr. Mendes for buying or selling a home.

Nice guy, Gerard takes the time to explain it to the layman. Quite satisfied with the appraisal report.

Asked if I could move something aside for the photos, it wasn't needed now it looks messy on the photos. It’s not for sale but I don’t like this so much. The appraisal report went to stepdaughter, not nice for my name.

After a number of previous good experiences with Gerard Vel, I recently asked him to prepare an appraisal report. Again, I am very satisfied! Also under the name ERA Real Estate, Gérard is fast, accurate and skilled. Definitely recommended!

Fast and clear service. Appraisal report after one week.

Pleasant contact with an expert appraiser. Quick processing, to full satisfaction.

Expert and reliable real estate agent. Definitely recommended!

Contact with the broker went smoothly and quickly. Good solution for the high demand for the house. Neat handling of all matters. A real recommendation for buying and selling.

Very friendly, knowledgeable and keeps appointments.

Good service and quick execution of work. Report also completed quickly.

Acted quickly after accepting the assignment.

Good experience with Gerard for appraising my home. Quick, realistic and skilled.

Great, we are very satisfied with the collaboration and handling of the sale. Thanks Gerard.

Great collaboration with Gerard. He helped us wonderfully, resulting in a quick and smooth sale. Definitely recommended.
