Sjouke Jager Vastgoed BV

We came to Sjouke through a recommendation and without any doubt, Sjouke was the right person to help us find the house we were looking for; He was incredibly patient, listened to us and gave us advice on every offer we made, even when the market was difficult. He guided us throughout the entire process, both after the purchase was completed and after we had moved. We recommend him 100%! Are you looking for someone who can help you understand the market, who is honest and professional, but also remains friendly? Then this is the right person for you. Thank you Sjouke!!!! Mercedes & Leo

Sjouke is an excellent broker - very responsive, dedicated, friendly and efficient. He goes above and beyond to meet all requests and make the home buying process as smooth as possible! Thanks Sjouke!

We worked with Sjouke during our home buying process. Sjouke is a very helpful and expert expert on all subjects. You can always rely on him to keep track of things.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Sjouke's services. I had a very good experience during the house hunting process with Sjouke. His knowledge of the area was very helpful and he goes the extra mile (he attended a viewing on my behalf when I wasn't in the country). He also sets expectations from the beginning. I greatly appreciate his patience throughout the entire process, as buying a house is a big decision for everyone. He is also very meticulous when inspecting a house, which is very useful. In short, an absolute pleasure and thanks again for everything

Excellent Real Estate Agent – A real recommendation! I had a great experience with Sjouke in Utrecht. Buying a house in less than two months in such a competitive market seemed impossible, but he made it happen! From start to finish, he arranged everything: creating a Move.nl account, making appointments, arranging a mortgage advisor, insurance, loan process, technical inspection and notary. His professionalism, availability and clear, uncomplicated communication in English ensured that the entire process went smoothly and stress-free. As an international buyer with strict requirements (proximity to the road, city center, train station, supermarkets and parking spaces), he made sure that all my criteria were perfectly met. His negotiation skills were impressive and he made timely, unbiased decisions, allowing me to build trust throughout the entire process. Even after a year, he still responds to my questions and shows his commitment beyond just closing the deal. If you are looking for an expert, internationally-friendly and result-oriented real estate agent in Utrecht, I wholeheartedly recommend Sjouke!

We hired Sjouke as a buyer's agent and he guided us through the entire process. He knows the Utrecht market well and is attuned to the needs of expats when planning and conducting viewings. He also advises on possible renovations and contractor options (although we chose others for this). I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a buyer's agent in the Utrecht region.

Sjouke really helped my husband and me find our dream house! He was very patient and accurate and made sure we met all of our wishes. He kept searching with us until we found our perfect match! I can wholeheartedly recommend working with him, because the process was truly great and enjoyable. His support was greatly appreciated in this difficult market!

Sjouke helped us find our dream house. He is very accurate in his work, always gave us good advice and I could even say that he was more selective than ourselves regarding the feedback on the houses we visited :D I can wholeheartedly recommend Sjouke for the search of your dream house!

Sjouke was fantastic from the search to the key transfer. He knows Utrecht very well, he thinks along with you, he understands what you are looking for. He is patient, timely, responsible, transparent and very good at communicating. For renting and buying in Utrecht, I have worked closely with him. During the key transfer, he kindly gave me a framed map of my new neighborhood. Absolutely recommended!

If you are looking for a professional service, we definitely recommend this. They helped us with the first house we bid on. We achieved the impossible. They patiently answered all our questions and made us feel like they were always with us.

We got to know Sjouke through another expat who was enthusiastic about him. And Sjouke lived up to his reputation and more! As expats, we were very unfamiliar with the Netherlands, and especially with the housing market. Sjouke helped us enormously with this! Sjouke has a lot of knowledge of the Dutch housing market, particularly in the areas in and around Utrecht. He explained the various aspects of the market in detail, answered every question (some of which weren't even related to buying a house!) and helped us navigate the very competitive Dutch housing market with ease. Sjouke’s back office sent us new houses on the list every morning and we scheduled viewings for the houses we liked. Sjouke would then personally accompany us to each viewing, giving us insights into the location, nuances about the construction of the property, and pointing out things we otherwise never would have noticed. Sjouke also has an incredible network of local professionals in the field of housing and construction that we could use: we relied on him to get us contacts for everything from home inspectors, appraisers, mortgage lenders, notaries, and translators. Sjouke would collaborate with them all to ensure our purchasing process ran super smoothly. Because he took care of all the details and processes, we were able to focus on what was most important to us: finding a house that we loved, and that’s exactly what we did, within 2 months of working with Sjouke! I would wholeheartedly recommend Sjouke to any expat who wants to buy a house in the Netherlands. He is a great ally in your home search.

If you are looking for a realtor who is super professional, efficient, adaptable and good-humored (bonus point), look no further. Sjouke helped me and my partner find a house in Utrecht, during extremely difficult times for homebuyers. He believes it's important that someone makes the best decision based on wishes and expectations. It’s not just about searching to search and using the highest amount for every house you visit. Sjouke has access to a lot of information and experience which is invaluable, which helped us enormously in the process.

Sjouke really helped us enormously; he is a very encouraging, professional and sympathetic expert. We have viewed several properties and know the real estate market in our own country (Germany) quite well, but the 'rules' in the Netherlands are very different in some respects. Sjouke helped us to understand this market because he explained the entire process very clearly and pointed out what we should pay attention to. Also regarding the emotionally draining bidding process, Sjouke reassured us and gave us excellent and reliable advice. Ultimately, of course, you yourself must decide how much you want to offer in this crazy market, but with Sjouke you always have the feeling that you have an experienced captain guiding you through stormy seas. A real recommendation!

My husband and I met Sjouke in April 2024. We wanted to buy a house in Utrecht in June/July 2024 (a very competitive market with a tight deadline). Sjouke was very friendly, honest, helpful, and basically available for our questions 24/7. He went with us to several viewings or viewed properties for us when we couldn't be there. Ultimately, with his help, we bought our dream house perfectly on time. Should we sell/buy in the future, we will definitely contact him again and we can wholeheartedly recommend his service! Thanks Sjouke for the smooth and efficient process, we wouldn't have been able to do it without you!

We first contacted Sjouke months ago when we were planning our move to Utrecht; Moving our entire lives to the Netherlands was intimidating, especially with the difficulties in the housing market, but Sjouke gave us a sense of security and stayed with us throughout the whole process. HE was always honest and clear with us, and very generous with his time; we always got in touch with him when we needed it, we felt a personal connection with him and, as he promised, after some time we found the perfect house for ourselves in Utrecht! Without Sjouke, we literally could have never done this. My partner and I often spoke about how grateful we were that we came into contact with Sjouke. Cannot recommend him enough for every international seeking help with housing in the Netherlands. Thank you so much Sjouke!

My partner Daniela and I recently bought a house with the help of Sjouke. In the current Utrecht market, that is no small feat; it was a long process, with many frustrations and disappointments along the way. Throughout all of this, Sjouke was fantastic: he was endlessly patient, constantly reassuring, and truly knowledgeable in both what to look for in a house and what the market conditions were. Even after our bid was accepted, Sjouke gave excellent advice and explanation about what we could expect, and we appreciated that he came to the transfer to ensure everything went smoothly. In addition, he was just a really nice guy to work with! We would recommend his services without hesitation. Thank you Sjouke!

Siuk helped us with the finer points of Dutch bureaucracy when we bought our first apartment here. If you are buying your first apartment here and do not speak Dutch, we highly recommend working with Siuk. It simply removes all the stress and confusion and ensures that everything just works. He only works with expats, he is very professional, very available, has a positive attitude and excellent English, which makes it easier to communicate and understand such an important process :) I wrote in the feminine language, but of course it is relevant for everyone.
