All brokers in Delden

Well, what a brilliant name choice: 'Happy Living.' You almost think you’re stepping into a dream house as soon as you sign the purchase agreement. Unfortunately, that dream turns out to be more of a nightmare. I had already heard some rumors about this company, but now one of my best friends is literally standing with water up to his ankles and the realtor leaves him out in the cold without mercy, I can’t help but share this ‘warning.’ You would think that a company with such a cheerful name would give you a worry-free life, but apparently the only 'Happy' here is the moment you realize you’ve bought a dilapidated building. So, for those considering it: be warned! You might as well participate in 'Renovation Rescue' and hire Martijn Krabbé and John Williams. Because believe me, you’re going to need them.

A few weeks ago, we sold our apartment through Happy Living and bought a corner house through Happy Living. We are super happy and satisfied with their service. Really happy! 😇 …

Helpfully assisted

Hilarious asking prices, no NVM member, and increasingly less supply.

Very bad experience. I contacted them with interest for a house. They said they would get back to me, which never happened, and when I called to follow up, I was treated like a scammer. I was treated very badly. Definitely not recommended.

Very positive experiences with Happy Living real estate agents. Sold 4 houses within a top timeframe and for a top price. Purchased 1 property. Where Ruud, as the purchasing agent, was very critical so that I didn't make a bad purchase. Ruud particularly sensed the feeling at the different houses well. Not once regretted going with Happy Living. Ruud and his team are excellent and make people HAPPY☀️☀️

Happy Living real estate agents is truly a recommendation! Ruud was both our sales and purchase broker. We experienced this as very positive. Our 'old' house was sold very quickly and for a top price, and during our search for our new home, he was very critical. For example, he saved us from a major mistake, a house with many defects that had not immediately been noticed by ourselves (and the seller concerned had not told us anything about it). We now have the keys to our new home and I can still contact Happy Living Real Estate Agents with all my questions.

We had a very pleasant experience with Ruud AND Evelien! Truly a top real estate agency with very down-to-earth, friendly people.

Ruud + team and Evelien of course 😀. Have already sold 3 houses for us in recent years, always super fast and always for a good price. Top team, a solid 10 for these people…

Unsocial realtor. Staff causes damage, which was given verbally. Subsequently, there is no further response. A good neighborhood course would do these people well.

Very friendly, experienced, calm and honest realtor.

I have experienced Ruud Verdonk as an arrogant man. During the viewing, he remained downstairs and was too busy with his phone. If you have complaints/hidden defects, Ruud will quickly say “too busy”. Great regret that I bought a house through this real estate agent. Ruud portrays himself as a nice man but that changes quickly when he is no longer facing you. No doubt there are people who experience this as pleasant but this is certainly not my experience. As far as I know, Happy Living is not an accredited real estate agency, which seems important in this world. Always look for a real estate agent affiliated with the NVM, there are plenty in Enschede. The response below from the “real estate agent” confirms everything and shows how unprofessional he operates.

Great shop.

We bought a holiday home in Germany in 2022. Wil Brand from Buitenleven real estate advised us very well, while knowing that we were buying a holiday home from someone else. Then we immediately decided that if we ever sell it, we will have it done by Wil Brand. She did so to our full satisfaction. She is pleasantly calm, knows how to communicate and does her absolute best. Even during the handover, she manages to surprise you as a client. How? That remains our secret, Wil!

We are very pleased with Wil Brand. She guided us excellently through the sale of our house. I wholeheartedly recommend her. Knowledgeable, friendly.

This woman is not a realtor but a scammer. So be careful.

Called more than 10 times to extend the contract but every time they say next week and I hear nothing on email. I have also sent multiple times, I just think they are bad brokers. I hope the landlord doesn't work with another broker, they don't want to pay even one day late.

I recently moved into one of their properties in Enschede and I am extremely satisfied with the experience. From the beginning, their team showed exceptional professionalism and responsiveness. The entire process - from viewing to signing the rental agreement and moving in - went smoothly, transparently, and well-organized. I can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional housing solution in Enschede.

Very bad experience with this company. They do not respond to emails and fail to honor agreed promises. I had to wait 3 months for the refund of the deposit for my shop building. When it was finally paid, it turned out to be deposited into another tenant's bank account. Unbelievable! I would not recommend this company.

My experience at this place was absolutely amazing and impressive.

Smooth experience with smart living. Elisa was polite, helpful and very helpful. All in all excellent service.

Hello, very dishonest real estate agent, be careful, these are scammers. Extremely bad and arrogant attitude! They do everything to not return the deposit, they try to charge all sorts of costs to the tenant. After two years of renting we handed over the house as we received it, and since then they are only looking for an unreasonable reason to not return the deposit. In short, scammers! My advice is to have nothing to do with this office! Hello, it's been two weeks since I left the house! According to the law you must return my deposit within two weeks!!! During that time you have not sent me a damage report and a report from the washing machine technician! If you do not return my deposit within two days, we will start legal proceedings and see you in court!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to thank Eliza and Anne Marije. From the first contact, they were interested in my situation and recommended a house that met my needs. The communication was smooth and efficient, despite the language barrier. Thank you for your patience and kindness in removing all my doubts. We signed all the contracts with the homeowner in record time. We documented the details and they offered to help us with hiring services, and to inform and guide us about recycling, taxes, and even shops to buy furniture. Although they say that renting a house here in the Netherlands is a problem due to the difficulty level, I would say that SMART WONEN is the solution.

We are satisfied with this agency. Friendly and efficient team. Simple administration and rental procedure. Regarding the rental prices, these are aligned with the rental market.

Very good agency

Really a good agency, very helpful and proactive. I have been working with them for over 8 years and never had any problems. I can wholeheartedly recommend Smart Wonen.

I am satisfied with the fast and professional accommodation service I received. The team efficiently found a suitable place without unnecessary costs, which proves their commitment to a smooth and transparent process.

The communication was fast and reliable, and the people were very helpful. The most important thing was that the apartment looked just as good as in the photos.

Good communication, quick responses. Everything was perfectly arranged. They were very open and helpful.

Thanks to Elisa, I found a house relatively quickly. Easy to communicate with and the deal was rounded quickly. They helped me with all my questions, so I am satisfied with everything the company delivers.

Heartfelt thanks for their hard work and help. They are very professional.

After about 4 months I strongly advise against Smart Wonen. Contact with them is very difficult. First of all, they simply do not respond to e-mails. Unless you are looking for a rental property, in which case that stops as soon as you sign your contract. In our case Smart Wonen is not the owner of our apartment. They act as a buffer between me and the owner, so they remain anonymous. The result is that everything 'must be discussed with the owner', which makes everything take even longer. Everything they do to the house is as cheap as possible and of poor quality. I did not give them the lowest rating, because ultimately they do solve problems. If something is broken, they fix it. It just takes a lot of time and effort to get it done. They meet the absolute minimum of a somewhat responsible landlord.

Go along it
