Prinsenstad Makelaardij

Het was heel plezierig samenwerken met Frans en ik ben erg snel en kundig begeleid in de aankoop van mijn woning. Frans is erg betrokken en kwam steeds met goede tips waar ik op moest letten. Ook legde hij alle stappen die we gingen doen goed uit en ik ben erg tevreden over zijn inzet en professionaliteit. Zonder hem was het niet gelukt om mijn droomhuis te kopen.

Frans heeft ons erg goed geholpen met het vinden en kopen van het huis. Hij beantwoordde altijd snel onze vragen en heeft goed geholpen bij de onderhandeling, waardoor we ons huis onder de vraagprijs hebben kunnen kopen. En voor een redelijke prijs, de grotere makelaars waren duurder en hadden minder tijd voor ons, dus we zijn blij met onze keuze.

Frans is zeer professioneel en punctueel. Hij gaf me de stabiliteit die ik nodig had bij zo'n belangrijke beslissing en was altijd erg behulpzaam bij het overbruggen van de taalbarrière. Dit alles voor een zeer eerlijke prijs, zonder onaangename verrassingen achteraf. Ik zou hem absoluut aanbevelen aan een internationale starter zoals ik, of aan iedereen die voor het eerst een huis koopt.

Wij hadden een heel goede ervaring bij Prinsenstad Makelaardij als aankoopmakelaar. We kregen eerst een vrijblijvend gesprek over onze wensen en mogelijkheden, daarna werd ons gevraagd om eerst een paar bezichtigingen alleen te doen om een goed beeld te vormen wat wij nou echt willen (zodat je niet alleen op plaatjes op Funda oordeelt). Tijdens die bezichtigingen vonden we (onverwacht) een perfect huis. Zoals vaak bij dat soort bezichtigingen zaten er allerlei deadlines aan …

Real estate agent very friendly and professional. Having a good knowledge of Delft market that we were looking for. All steps of the purchase has been very smooth and well guided. Fast communication and feedback is very appreciated as we are non dutch speakers. We recommend this agency!

We have had a great experience with Prinsenstad Makelaardij. Frans outlines a sober and practical picture of the possibilities and problems of a viewed property and leaves the choice to the client. He follows up well after an offer is made and supports the buyer during the provisional contract phase. Thank you Frans for the good tips and pleasant cooperation.

A very nice and calm realtor. Gave me excellent advice and helped me well with the sale of the house.

Frans is a very nice realtor, honest and reliable, friendly, customer-friendly and reassuring. He has knowledge of the subject and you notice it. He was also my buyer's agent.

Frans helped us tremendously with advice and preparing our apartment for sale.

Zeer professioneel, vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Een echte aanrader als je ook nog iets wilt leren.

Frans van Rijn guided me through the purchase of a home. During the first viewing and bidding, it was an immediate success. He was a guide for me and gave me peace and confidence to make decisions. When discussing the purchase agreement, Frans pointed out a remarkable detail and negotiated that matter on my behalf. Even later, when I had some problems with the mortgage advisor and the notary, he could give me advice and gave me the peace of mind I needed. The …

We zijn zeer tevreden over de begeleiding van Frans. Hij had vanaf het begin een duidelijke strategie voor onze huizenzoektocht. Zijn reacties waren snel en behulpzaam, en zijn kennis van de markt en de Delftse buurten was cruciaal om ons te helpen bij het vinden van ons nieuwe huis. Een echte aanrader.

Frans was beyond Brilliant , he listened to Questions we asked and gave us his advice which was very helpful. He was always there to answer any questions we asked . He possesses a lovey aura which we didn’t expect but came to trust him 200% . Beyond a Very Professional Gentleman.

It was a pleasant contact. This realtor provided reliable guidance during the purchase of my house.

I had a pleasant experience with Frans as a sales broker. He keeps to the appointments, is experienced, skilled and friendly. I successfully sold my childhood home thanks to Frans.

Our search for a home didn't quite go as planned ourselves. As a first-time buyer, a lot comes at you and sometimes you don’t know where to begin, that's why we enlisted Frans' help as a purchasing agent. Frans is realistic, down-to-earth, and sharp. This was very nice in our search. We had quite a bit of time pressure because we had to move out of our rental property on short notice, this combined with the unpredictable market sometimes made us very uncertain. Nevertheless, Frans kept us grounded, allowing us to ultimately find a super nice home that meets all our wishes. We are very grateful to Frans for this, don’t settle for less :) Frans has a lot of knowledge, notices things about homes that we would never have seen ourselves, and helps you along well after you've heard that the bid has been accepted. Also, contact is easy via WhatsApp and it was possible to schedule meetings outside regular working hours. This was very pleasant. We expected slightly more pro-activity from Frans in terms of suggesting properties, but this may be because we were so on top of the available listings. We are very satisfied and definitely recommend Frans as a purchasing agent. Greetings, Isabelle and Thijs

Het was een geweldige ervaring, uiteraard met de hulp van Frans. Hij was erg geduldig met mijn excuses voor elke afspraak die we samen hadden. Ik raad iedereen ten zeerste aan om Frans in te schakelen bij de aankoop van een woning.

We came to Prinsenstad Makelaardij on the recommendation of a friend. Frans helped us tremendously with the purchase of our rental property! Besides being a skilled realtor, he is also a very pleasant person. We could always turn to Frans with our questions. He responds quickly and thinks along with you. We can recommend Prinsenstad Makelaardij to everyone! After the introductory meeting at Frans' office, he immediately started working for us. The first step was the conversation he had with the owner. This went so well that the owner indicated shortly after this conversation that he would like to sell and Frans even managed to negotiate a discount on the asking price! Due to circumstances, the period until signing the purchase contract lasted quite long. There was still an issue that the landlord had to resolve with the neighbor and neither knew how to deal with it. When this took unnecessarily long, Frans ensured that the notary visited our home in the short term to assess the situation. Afterwards, he sat down with us, the neighbor, and the owner to clarify the matter and also proposed solutions. A requirement of the bank was that our rental property had to be cadastral split from the downstairs apartment. Thanks to Frans' good contact with the notary, we received advice during the previously mentioned home visit on the steps to follow. This provided a lot of clarity for us! The next step was signing the purchase contract. Frans drafted this for us and after incorporating our feedback, we signed it together with the owner at Frans' office. Afterwards, the phase began in which the demolition permit was applied for by the owner, the house was appraised, and deeds were prepared by the notary. We could always rely on Frans if we had questions and he was happy to review documents that we needed to check. After signing at the notary, we concluded the purchase process in a pleasant way at Frans' office. Many thanks Frans for your patience and guidance in buying our house!

Clear explanation of the process at the beginning. Good advice during and after the viewings. Thanks to Frans, I quickly found my first house in Delft.

Frans was an excellent help during the search and purchase process. He was always available, very calm and professional, which is a great help when the process itself can be quite stressful. Thanks to his help, we achieved a good result within about three months with the purchase of our house; without him it would not have gone half as smoothly. Frans was wholeheartedly recommended to us by a colleague, and we would in turn wholeheartedly recommend him. Also as an expat, he is a great help in guiding through the process.

Frans was een grote hulp tijdens de uitdagende taak van het kopen van een huis in Nederland. Hij is zeer ervaren en legde ons uit waar we op moesten letten tijdens de bezichtigingen, hoe we moesten bieden, wat we konden verwachten en nog veel meer. Bovenal was hij vriendelijk en erg geduldig met al onze vragen en zorgen als starters op de woningmarkt. Kortom, een echte aanrader.

Frans is friendly and yet professional, flexible, acts quickly and has a lot of knowledge. You get good explanations about the steps, contracts and lots of advice on how to repair or improve things in your future home. I couldn't have found a better real estate agent!

Frans helped us very well with the sale of our house. He works carefully and consults closely. He responds quickly, is expert and has a good and realistic view of the market. Thank you for the good guidance!

Contact with the broker who was careful in communication, reliable and expert went smoothly.

Prinsenstad Real Estate has been an extremely supportive and reliable agent. Frans's competencies and professionalism were of great help in every step of the house searching and bidding. We highly appreciated his courtesy and availability at every moment.

Able to quickly make a non-binding appointment. Ensured the door was opened when access to the house was needed and arranged additional matters such as requesting an energy label. Also accessible outside of office hours. The agent was a pleasant person.

Reliable, to the point, no promises that cannot be kept. Always and quickly responds. Is friendly.

I am super happy with my agent (Frans van Rijn) and the purchasing experience overall. I found the ideal apartment for me at the best possible price! The agent was responsive, active, and helped guide us through the purchasing process in an effective, clear manner. I would highly recommend.

Always reachable, able to think along and provide correct advice. The best there is! Once again, heartfelt thanks Mr. Frans!

Calm personality, concrete advice, good feedback, patient and business-like approach focused on realistic chance of success when purchasing.

Very accessible realtor with clear planning and good advice. Also gives tips on how to better sell your house, such as furnishing.

Working with Prinsenstad Makelaardij was very pleasant. He gave us honest information and what I really appreciated was his good communication, patience and accessibility. I had to sell my apartment from a distance during a difficult period but Frans helped me enormously and with utmost kindness. Thank you thank you Frans for the successful sale of our apartment, without you it would not have been so easy!! I highly recommend Prinsenstad Makelaardij!!!

Contact went smoothly. Extra work was done because the initial buyers were unable to finalize the deal. Initially, everything went well. Frans has extensive knowledge and assisted us excellently with the sale. In short, a real estate agent I would definitely recommend.

Broker enters into an agreement with another party after a bid has been accepted and plays a very dirty game. Improper and unreliable. In writing, the broker agreed to the signing of the draft purchase contract (with many errors) simultaneously with the inspection report results. The broker's response is therefore incorrect. unreliable

Frans is a professional and reliable realtor who put in a great deal of effort in the sale of my house. The communication was pleasant and correct, and the result is very good. Thank you, Frans!

Ik heb onlangs met veel plezier samengewerkt met Frans, een aankoopmakelaar in de regio Delft, en ik kan hem van harte aanbevelen. Na maandenlang zelf op zoek te zijn geweest naar een koopwoning, begon ik de moed op te geven. Ondanks mijn beste inspanningen werd ik steeds weer teleurgesteld doordat verkopers lagere biedingen accepteerden of hun woning aan familieleden verkochten. Ontmoedigd besloot ik de hulp van een aankoopmakelaar in te schakelen, en daar ben ik blij om. Ik heb verschillende makelaars in Delft gesproken, maar Frans stak er met kop en schouders bovenuit. In tegenstelling tot anderen die informatie mooier voorstelden dan hij was of hun expertise overdreven, was Frans verfrissend eerlijk en betrouwbaar. Hij gaf me feitelijke informatie en hield oprecht rekening met mijn wensen, die hij altijd met respect behandelde. Zijn toewijding om mijn dromen te verwezenlijken was vanaf het begin duidelijk. Een van Frans' uitstekende kwaliteiten is zijn snelle reactie en behulpzaamheid. Hij was altijd beschikbaar om mijn zorgen te bespreken en vragen snel te beantwoorden. Zijn professionaliteit en inzet om het best mogelijke resultaat voor zijn klanten te behalen zijn prijzenswaardig. Frans overtreft alle verwachtingen en levert een service die de prijs meer dan waard is. Bovendien toonde Frans enorm veel geduld gedurende het hele proces, wat van onschatbare waarde is bij de complexiteit van het kopen van een woning. Zijn diepgaande interculturele begrip versterkte onze interactie en hielp eventuele communicatieproblemen te overbruggen. Dankzij Frans' expertise en toewijding heb ik nu een appartement dat mijn aanvankelijke verwachtingen overtreft. Zonder zijn begeleiding en hulp zou ik waarschijnlijk nog steeds op zoek zijn naar een geschikte woning. Ik beveel Frans van harte aan aan iedereen die een betrouwbare en integere aankoopmakelaar zoekt in de regio Delft. Hij is de persoon op wie je kunt rekenen om je vastgoeddromen waar te maken.

Very satisfied with this broker. Communication is very smooth and you receive an immediate response to submitted questions. Also had telephone contact and always received good assistance.

Frans van Rijn (Prinsenstad Makelaardij) helped us more than excellently with the sale of our house. He carried out the valuation of our property, arranged the photography, took care of placement on various websites and handled the viewings. The entire process went very well. We are very happy that we engaged Frans as a real estate agent: professional, reliable and excellent communication about everything involved in the sale. Many thanks Frans!

Very professional 👍

With the sale of our house, Frans helped us very well and provided a lot of information on how everything would work; it was a very pleasant collaboration.

Onze ervaring met Frans van Rijn van Prisenstad Makelaardij was erg goed! Hij heeft ons geholpen bij de aankoop van ons eerste huis in Schiedam en was zeer behulpzaam gedurende het hele proces. Dankzij hem hebben we ook onze hypotheekadviseur en notaris gevonden. Frans was altijd bereikbaar voor al onze vragen en advies en ging met ons mee om de woningen te bezichtigen. Toen we ons toekomstige huis voor het eerst bezochten, nam hij ruim de tijd om het huis grondig te bekijken en gaf hij zeer goede suggesties en mogelijke oplossingen. Frans spreekt ook uitstekend Engels, wat ons enorm heeft geholpen met al het papierwerk en de regelingen, aangezien wij niet zo goed Nederlands spreken. Dankjewel Frans

Frans guided me through the purchase of my first home; the guidance was excellent. Frans is realistic and has a lot of knowledge. During the viewings, Frans noticed things that I, as a buyer, would never have seen, partly thanks to this it was possible to make a beautiful, realistic offer and ultimately buy a house.

During the purchase of our first home, Frans guided us pleasantly. Frans is knowledgeable and knows how to maintain calm in exciting moments.

As a buyer's agent, we have not had good experiences with him. Throughout the entire process of buying a house, we felt like we were completely alone and didn't have an agent to support us. And so often he acted as if we weren’t his clients when we tried to ask something from the buyer. Even once he said in his email that I will speak with the buyer’s agent if I return; he didn’t do it and when we asked him about it. He just sent an email and the tone was like a reprimand for us. Also, he did not warn us during the final inspection of the house about all electronic devices, especially the central heating boiler, even though he also realized that the device has problems. He has a lot of experience with these kinds of things, but somehow he decided to say nothing, and during the final inspection we missed many things without any notification. When we finally talked about these things, he said that you had already signed the definitive chequepaper. Really, so professional!! As a client, I do not have confidence in him as a buyer's agent! Editing and Adding! It precisely shows what I mean from my above review. You act like you are always right and don’t even try to listen to the customer! And it is not nice to write the address of one of your clients. It shows what kind of person you are! It shows how you behave when you receive negative feedback! Last remarks 1. These are not accusations, they are the truth. 2. Your previous response has been removed by Google because you violated the privacy of your client by writing my home address here!

We engaged Prinsenstad Makelaardij in August 2023 to find our dream home. Frans is very methodical in his approach and takes the time to understand his clients' specific wishes. He accompanied us on numerous viewings and patiently advised us on the strong and weak points of each house. When we finally found a house that we wanted to make an offer on, Frans skillfully helped us determine the right bid, which ultimately came out lower than we had initially planned, and we successfully purchased the house. I wholeheartedly recommend Frans for all your real estate needs.

Frans van Rijn helped us win the bid and played an important role in drafting and negotiating the terms of the contract for the house we bought. Thanks to his advice, we saved a considerable amount both during and after the bidding process. Finally, Frans van Rijn was always accessible by phone and email and was present at all our dealings. Although the real estate world is full of big words and fake news, Frans works very professionally, directly, to-the-point and efficiently. With an excellent knowledge of the housing market and a lot of experience in the region (for example Delft), I think he is the perfect realtor and I can wholeheartedly recommend him. Thank you Frans, Anastasios

Frans is a good agent who has properly represented our interests as the selling party. It was an honest and smooth sales process. Thanks, Frans!

As an expat in the Netherlands, I had many questions about buying an apartment here. Frans from PRINSENSTAD really helped me through the process and was very responsive and available. From the beginning, he gave useful tips on how and where you can look for an apartment. During viewings, he was actually an extra pair of eyes discussing the pros and cons of each property. And in the final phase, I felt very well represented by him towards the seller's real estate agent. He patiently guided me through the details of various paperwork and especially the content of the contract. And all that for a very reasonable price. He made the process much easier and I am very satisfied with the service I received from him.

We were very skeptical about real estate agents, most of those we met during viewings didn't give us a good impression. However after half a year of searching for a house alone, and after many bids were rejected without reason, we decided to give a buying agent a chance, which is how we came to Frans. I can now say that Frans was probably our best decision in the entire purchasing process. We are very grateful to Frans for the house he helped us buy, but also for all the other houses that thanks to his help we decided not to buy or not to bid too much when it wasn't worth it. Frans has a lot of knowledge about houses, he knows many problems and knows how to spot them. This makes him a very realistic person, he would never force you to buy the wrong house or the right house (but at the wrong price). He was always available when we called him and he even worked for us during his vacation. We are very happy with the service received and therefore can only recommend him. Martina and Aron

Frans was exceptionally helpful and efficient in the sale of my apartment in Delft. I had moved abroad prior to the sale and he did everything to make the process as smooth as possible. When water from another apartment leaked into mine, he also helped me resolve the issue while I was abroad. I appreciated his directness and quick responses, which made the sale very easy.

I bought my first house with the help of Frans. He was very pleasant to work with because he fully involved me in a world that was new to me. Besides teaching me a lot, he also has a good eye for detail and clearly indicates when a purchase is or isn't smart. Frans is critical, which I see as a sign of knowledge and experience. In addition, Frans always responded quickly to my calls or WhatsApp messages, which made the contact very easy. Frans, thank you immensely for your support in purchasing my first home :)

Fast, skilled and economical!!!

We are very pleased with the professional appraisal by Prinsenstad Real Estate Agency. Fast service, expert execution and high-quality delivery characterize this specialist. Highly recommended!!! Marco de Bruin, Delft

Frans is a skilled realtor. He helped us well with the sale of a house that came into our possession through an inheritance. We don't come from Delft ourselves, but luckily he helped us with tips and all sorts of practical matters. Which was very nice. The communication was clear and smooth. Frans is always easy to reach. We are very satisfied.

Frans helped us well with the purchase of our first house. Nice guidance throughout the entire process, and clear about expectations. Frans has a good view of the technical condition and further points of attention, which was very useful when buying a fixer-upper. Quick and clear communication; we could always consult quickly via whatsapp, by calling, or at the office. Thanks! Joost & Maartje

Frans heeft ons geholpen met de verkoop van ons huis terwijl we al in het buitenland waren. Hij was professioneel, hield ons op de hoogte van alle bezichtigingen en reageerde zeer snel op onze berichten. De prijsstelling was transparant. Ik beveel dit makelaarskantoor van harte aan.

Frans is one of the better agents. He is involved, almost available 24/7, and answers virtually all your questions immediately. Frans is very clear and doesn't use any sales pitches. When we were about to give up on buying a little house in the current market, Frans himself came up with a house (because he was thinking of us). Now we have bought a top house and that wouldn't have been possible without Frans.

Nice realtor, pleasant and personal service. Listens well to the customer's wishes, responds quickly, gives clear explanations and takes care of everything. The purchase of a house in Delft in this overheated housing market has gone very smoothly, partly thanks to Frans van Rijn.

I want to go back to Delft… who knows if they’ll be able to help me find an apartment that suits me…

Frans van Rijn helped us with the purchase of a house in Delft, even when the housing crisis at the beginning of 2022 caused prices to rise. His smart approach helped us get two offers. He takes into account the wishes and limitations of his clients and gives meaningful suggestions. The service is friendly and courteous, while the rates are the lowest I could find in Delft. He also advised us on a good notary and appraiser to make sure we could keep our costs as low as possible. During the process, he was available even on short notice to view a property or discuss something. All in all, it was a great experience and I wish him the best!

Responds quickly, keeps you informed and meets expectations. Top service!

Pleasant contact directly with the real estate agent. Responded immediately to the email and presented the property well and sold it quickly. Also created professional and beautiful photos of the property. I am very satisfied and would recommend him to everyone.
