De Vries Robbé B.V.

This is truly a TOP realtor! Alexander knows the housing market inside and out and is very knowledgeable, both financially and technically. He is always cheerful, always optimistic, and always readily available. Thanks to him, our old house was sold in 'no-time'. Excellent service from the office. In short: we recommend De Vries Robbé to everyone looking for a realtor of good quality.

Had a very pleasant collaboration with Alexander (de Ranitz). We bought and sold a house through de Vries Robbé b.v. both times, receiving professional assistance. Alexander is approachable and friendly. He has good knowledge of the market. He came up with advice that we could use. And he was always available for our questions. We would definitely recommend Alexander and his colleagues when you want to (buy/sell) a house.

Rogier is a very fine buyer's agent. He thinks with you, is accessible, and remains critical of the property to ensure that you experience as few surprises as possible. Furthermore, he remains accessible and continues to contribute ideas after the purchase. Highly recommended as a buyer's agent in Voorburg!

De Vries Robbé Makelaardij guided us in the purchase of our apartment in The Hague. We chose them because they had successfully sold our previous house years ago. Our needs were very specific: not too far from public transport to easily reach the HS- and Centraal stations, but also, coming from Paris, a place that would be both lively and residential. Alexander perfectly understood our needs and guided us through the viewings with very useful comments and didn't hesitate to honestly tell us when he thought the location wasn't suitable for our situation. He never tried to force us into a situation, although the market is extremely tense and some apartments can disappear within days. However, I do not recommend doing the viewings by video, because reality can be very distorted and the disappointment too. Dutch houses are very specific and you must visit them to get your own idea and which type suits you (ground floor only, double above, etc.). Alexander advised us perfectly from beginning to end (4 months of searching and more than 20 viewings) and was very patient! He gave us a small tip on how to bid for the apartment we wanted, and it worked! We are very happy with it and hope to keep the contact alive after we have moved to The Hague! We wholeheartedly recommend De Vries Robbé and Alexander!

It went excellently thanks to the expert help of De Vries Robbé real estate agency. Our house was sold within a week at a good price. The preparations, guidance during and around and after the sale were pleasant, relieved us enormously, and communication was very smooth. In short: a five-star experience!

Rogier and the team have helped me phenomenally with the purchase of my first house in the Netherlands.

Pleasant and decisive brokers who helped with the purchase of a home. In addition to being pleasant and decisive, the following qualities can also be attributed: honest, precise and (in terms of content) expert.

De Vries Robbé provided us with excellent assistance both in the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new house. Very expert advice, good communication to external parties and to us. They provide a clear overview of everything that needs to happen and clearly explains the choices you can make where necessary.

I experience the collaboration as very pleasant. Alexander de Ranitz distinguishes himself through his own, well-considered strategy, with which he excels in service and advice compared to other real estate agencies.

We are incredibly pleased with the help of Alexander in the purchase of our new house. He has up-to-date knowledge of the market and is clear and honest in his advice. He pointed out points of attention where we might have overlooked them ourselves, and was even reachable for advice during a day out with his family. We wholeheartedly recommend De Vries Robbé!

Alexander is an exceptionally engaged real estate agent and has extensive expertise in the property market. Very driven, where a promise is a promise.

De Vries Robbé assisted us as a buyer's and seller's agent. We can only say that we were well helped throughout the entire process. It is obvious that they know the market well, which means you get genuine advice on what to offer when buying something or what to accept when selling a house. Very very very satisfied!

Rogier helped us incredibly well. Many thanks! Pleasant communication and guidance.

Very pleased, pleasant contact.

I would describe this realtor as honest, friendly and expert. The way I was approached and helped in my successful search for a new home deserves a compliment.

The moment I decided to start actively viewing and bidding on homes, I enlisted the help of De Vries Robbé. I received tips, viewings were usually done together, and I got expert advice about my possibilities and chances of success. When preparing a bid, I was kept informed by phone and was welcome at the office for a consultation ☕️ Within a few months, it worked out. When my offer was accepted on Friday evening, Rogier didn't wait until the next morning or Monday but called me at 6:30 pm with the good news and congratulations. I could also turn to them for advice or a listening ear regarding financing and transfer. I can definitely recommend this real estate agent.

Very satisfied with this realtor! Thanks to their excellent market knowledge, I felt well-informed and guided. The viewing went smoothly and professionally, with plenty of room for questions.

Rogier Hernaus of Vries Robbé Real Estate really helped me excellently when buying my house. From the first moment he was professional, but also personal and accessible. He took the time to answer all my questions and gave me honest and clear advice. What I really liked was that he wasn't just focused on the sale, but also on my wishes and needs. He was always available and remained calm, even when there were some delays. In short, I am very satisfied with the service Rogier provided and can wholeheartedly recommend him!

Alexander understands the market and takes the time to get to know his clients and their housing wishes. He loves his profession, is critical and thorough, and works from the heart. He has protected us from missteps and expertly and pleasantly guided the purchase of our new home. Highly recommended!

Rogier has helped us tremendously! Really a hat off to him! Highly recommended. Good communication and guidance

Great help with the purchase. Fast, flexible, clear agreements and expertise. Recommended. 👍 …

Thanks to Rogier Hernaus of De Vries Robbé, we were able to buy a very nice house relatively quickly in the Haaglanden area, despite this difficult market. He has extensive experience and a good network, provides clear advice, and makes sure you go home (😉) with a good deal. We are super satisfied and definitely recommend De Vries Robbé!

Reliable and knowledgeable real estate agency. Had a good process with guidance for the sale of our apartment. Thank you

Thanks to their advice, the entire process went smoothly and without stress. Rogier was always available for questions and gave honest and clear advice. If you are looking for a reliable and engaged real estate agency in the Haaglanden region, I can wholeheartedly recommend this office!

Greatly assisted by De Vries Robbé. They are on top of the communication and the planning, which ensured that both the purchase process and the sales process went smoothly.

Really a great realtor, very involved and communicative. With much patience, he accommodated all our wishes, questions, and concerns.

This is the second time I have dealt with De Vries Robbé and once tangentially, and I have always found it very pleasant. Recommended for both purchase and sale.

Great service quality!! We worked with Rogier during our buying and selling process and I must say that the quality of the service exceeded our expectations! I would recommend him because he is very well informed about the housing market in The Hague.

Excellent service delivered with a combination of market and technical knowledge. Each visit gave us a clear overview of what we were buying and how much we should invest on it. On top of that following advice made all the related chores, that come with buying and selling a house, well and easily taken care of.

Provided excellent expertise advice during bid process, always available to provide advice to first time buyer in Netherlands.

I strongly recommend this real estate agency! We worked with Rogier for both purchase and selling process and so satisfied with the quality of the service. He is super knowledgeable on Den Haag housing market as well as the technical situation of the houses. From very start of the search to the final signature at the notary, we were guided as supported by him so well. During the viewings he informed us on the pros/cons of each property and we got a successful result on our very …

Alexander is a great professional providing valuable experience and guidance into the process. He was always available when needed and reassuring. Highly recommended

Jan Kokje is very experienced and skilled. In addition, he is accessible and honest. He guided us excellently during the purchase of our home. Jan ensured that we purchased a property that perfectly matched our wishes and at a favorable price. We wholeheartedly recommend Jan!

Rogier Hernaus was our agent and he has been attentive from the beginning. He knew what was important to us, was also practical in setting our expectations and advised us accordingly. We appreciated his knowledge, honest feedback and his support in buying our next home + selling our current property. Huge thanks to him!

Service and advice was tailored to our needs. We're very happy with our choice of real estate agent!

Excellent service, very reliable & always easy to contact. Kept us up to date with viewings & progress. Very smooth process.

Excellent real estate agent that we definitely recommend! Rogier is always service-oriented, attentive and has good knowledge of the local market.

Due to our relocation to this side of the country, we were looking for a buyer's agent who knows the area around The Hague, Delft and Zoetermeer. Because we had a lot of travel time, we were looking for an agent who could view properties for us and allow us to come for a 2nd viewing if things were in order. Many offices indicated that we would have to attend the viewings ourselves (for at least 1.5 hours) and they could join us for a 2nd viewing. In this agent's case, much was possible. Alexander might be able to do initial tours with FaceTime / video calls after knowing our taste. To better understand our taste, we went to see properties in the area, but got stuck in traffic so we couldn't make it to the first viewing. Unfortunately for us, Alexander’s phone battery was dead, so FaceTime / video tours were no longer possible. Furthermore, it turned out that for many houses in the area where we were interested, it was not possible to have appointments outside of the planned time slots. This nullified the whole idea that the agent would look for us. This means Alexander is not aware of the current market where they only work with time slots, or he was aware and lied to us to get his more expensive quote accepted (he was over € 1000,- above his competitors, but they couldn’t visit properties for us). In some cases we saw attractive homes, but the asking price was on the higher side. He stated that he didn't see that bids would be placed below the asking price, so it wouldn't make sense to submit a bid. (We were curious what would ultimately be bid, but without a bid we have no access to a bidding log). In the case of the house where we had our eye on and wanted to do more with, we initially wanted to offer lower. The house had been for sale for some time and despite the message that they didn’t accept lower bids, the purchase had already been terminated twice. We eventually negotiated a bit and came to an agreement. Anyway. A second point where he would support us was with the contracts, because purchase agreements and other official documents are mainly in favor of the selling party and he would review them carefully to get the best possible outcome for us. Once we received a preliminary purchase agreement, it turned out that amounts were incorrectly entered due to termination of the purchase. Unfortunately, I had to point this out, as the contract was otherwise a standard contract without many complications. (What happened to the thorough review and getting every last drop out for us?) Further attempts to get a later transfer were also not possible, so we had to arrange mortgage financing within 3 weeks and would have the keys within a month. Average times for arranging mortgage financing take an average of 6 to 8 weeks and the transfer is after a few months, so they dropped the ball on this point as well and didn’t fight for us. Also, due to this time pressure to sell the house, I feel that more could have been negotiated on the price. Furthermore, he wanted to be present during the technical inspection. Which was fine too, but half the time he was on the phone regarding bidding wars for other clients. Then it gives the impression that others are more important than us. Finally, with the notary’s documents, the date of signing the purchase agreement was incorrect. I asked him if these were in order, he stated that he had checked them that morning and whether he had missed anything. Unfortunately yes, the date on the first page of the document. I don't know if another agent would have seen the mistakes in the contracts. But due to the inability to video call for viewings and missing details in the 'standard' contracts and the fact that they asked 1000 to 2000 more than other agents, I can only advise against this company.

✖️We hadden Alexander. Die aan de telefoon zei dat hij 16 jaar ervaring heeft en in zijn professionele profiel op LinkedIn tellen die jaren minder op. Alles goed. Hij heeft zichzelf goed verkocht - hij kan huisbezoeken afleggen zonder dat we hoeven te videobellen, hij heeft ervaring met expats (dat ben ik, maar mijn man is Nederlands), hij kan contracten grondig doornemen en hij doet zijn best om ons te helpen bij het vinden van ons droomhuis. We vonden het geweldig! Omdat we ver van ons huis wonen, begonnen de teleurstellingen echter direct na het tekenen van de contracten. We probeerden hem te bereiken - ook niet op cruciale momenten. We moesten altijd aanwezig zijn bij huisbezoeken - terwijl we probeerden het te laten werken, werden we altijd gehaast/onder druk gezet om er te zijn, ondanks zijn advertentie dat we het via videobellen konden doen. We stelden voor om voor de tweede keer te komen als we het huis leuk vonden, maar nee. Toen we probeerden het verhuisaccount aan te maken, stonden de instellingen uit, dus moesten we ook via andere sites zoeken om direct nieuwe aanbiedingen te krijgen. Ondanks 'pogingen' om het te laten repareren, werd het nooit gerepareerd en kregen we huizen te zien die niet aan onze criteria voldeden. Bovendien was het antwoord op huizen die we mogelijk interessant vonden en waarvoor we minder wilden bieden dan de vraagprijs altijd negatief: 'om de verkopers niet voor het hoofd te stoten'. Houd er rekening mee dat onze biedingen niet ver van de vraagprijs lagen. Er waren dus altijd discussies over waarom we niet moesten doen wat we wilden en hem moesten inschakelen voor de onderhandelingen. Na talloze gesprekken ontstond ook het gevoel dat hij niet voor ons als kopers werkte, maar voor de verkopers. In alle gevallen. Hij gaf wel wat advies uit 'persoonlijke ervaring', maar was absoluut niet behulpzaam. Hij adviseerde ons om te bieden op een huis waarvan we feitelijk dachten dat het ons meer zou kosten om het te laten repareren, zodat we konden blijven. Bovendien nam hij altijd weinig tijd voor zijn bezoeken en consulten, waardoor we altijd werden opgejaagd, ondanks het feit dat we van ver moesten rijden en soms met onze baby. Uiteindelijk, nadat we geen bezichtigingen konden inplannen omdat we de huizen te laat zagen en omdat bieden op eigen houtje niet werd geaccepteerd, gingen we naar de open huizendagen om er een paar te bezichtigen. Dankzij deze reis en het onderzoek van mijn man hebben we ons droomhuis gevonden. We moesten ons weer afvragen: waarom was hij voorstander van sommige makelaars en niet van andere? (Natuurlijke reacties) Waarom zei hij 'stel gerust vragen', maar werden we afgekapt voor de makelaars van de verkopers omdat we domme vragen stelden? En ten slotte, waarom klopte zijn verkoopargument, namelijk dat hij de contracten grondig moest nakijken (het belangrijkste onderdeel), nooit? We moesten de contracten corrigeren voor kleine maar belangrijke wijzigingen... zoals geld en data. Kortom, zelfs het duurste makelaarskantoor dat talloze huisbezoeken aanbiedt, doet er alles aan om die te beperken en je naar huizen te leiden die je nooit bevielen, enzovoort. Hij verliet de notaris ook zonder een handdruk toen hij niet meer nodig was, ondanks de slechte dag die we hadden gehad vóór ons bezoek aan het kantoor en hij zich daarvan bewust was. Koud. Zoals hij vindt dat hij in dit vak hoort te zijn. Ondanks zijn karakter ontbrak het hem aan professionaliteit. Hij werd met veel van de bovenstaande punten geconfronteerd, maar was altijd defensief en probeerde 'vooruit te komen in het vinden van ons droomhuis'. Dat wil zeggen, wij gaan verder met onze online zoektocht... We raden deze makelaar niet aan - het makelaarskantoor zou zijn team en de kwaliteit van de dienstverlening moeten controleren.

I was helped well by De Vries-Robbé from start to finish. Pleasant communication, proactive attitude, and constructive advice!

A very unreliable real estate agency, whether you deal with Kokje (the owner) or another employee. I have had dealings with them multiple times and they have consistently failed to be transparent. I would not put my house for sale here.

We moved abroad with my family and Rogier took care of every detail, very carefully, during our flat's sale. An asset for our peace of mind. Thanks.

From the purchase to the sale, everything went excellently. Especially Alexander helped me enormously with his insight into the market and advice. I recommend this real estate agent.

great realtor, involved, expert. responds directly to questions, always available. informed daily about impressions of viewings.

Rogier, our purchase broker exceeded our expectations. He is extremely knowledgeable about the homes in The Hague.

From the beginning, Mr. Kokje has guided us extremely well!! We are very satisfied but not quite finished with the sale of our old house.

Excellent service, thank you very much!

If you try to rent an apartment with them, you are wasting your time.

Excellent, fast and accurate.

Clear agreements and communication. The purchase process went very smoothly!
