Residence Makelaars

Very professional, clear and pleasant collaboration with Michel. Michel ensured the quick rental of the property with clear agreements and a transparently prepared inspection report. Recommended for anyone who wants to rent out their house. Thanks Michel.

Ronald is the best and kindest realtor I have ever met! He knows the market well, is honest, realistic, creative and full of surprisingly good ideas. In addition, he is friendly and easy to get along with. After the first conversation with him, I no longer felt the need to talk to other realtors. I gave him my trust with great success as a result! Within 3 days, the house was sold unseen above the asking price! He was also very helpful in applying for the…

We rented out our house through Expat Residence during our world trip. The information beforehand was clear and personal. Check-in and check-out were professional and quick. Contact, when needed, was short and concise. It perfectly matched our expectations and wishes.

A very active real estate agent who even made appointments on Sundays for a viewing. On Monday the property was sold, and on Wednesday the preliminary deed was signed. It's hardly possible to be faster.

Residence has arranged everything perfectly operationally. But more importantly, how to interpret the current market and make correct decisions regarding pricing during the negotiation process, was very good.

Very pleased with the help of Ronald. Characteristic of his guidance is that he really takes all worries out of your hands. Ronald is skilled, professional but also friendly and involved, proactive and easily accessible. I would heartily recommend Ronald as a sales broker.

Great service, good communication and quick results! Recommended for everyone!

I called their number and the person on the phone was extremely rude and hung up while I was still asking him a question. This is my worst experience with Dutch real estate agents EVER.

I am very pleased with the guidance of Residence Makelaars in the sale of my home. Expert, professional and proactive.

We were very happy with the services of Julian! Julian was friendly and communication flowed very easily. We quickly found a nice apartment in The Hague and would definitely recommend Julian!

Exceptional service – highly recommended! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Michel from Expats Residence to find a rental property in The Hague, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. In the current competitive and rapidly changing market, we expected a long and stressful search, but Michel exceeded all expectations by helping us secure a beautiful house in a highly desirable area in just about one month! From the beginning, Michel was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local market. He took the time to truly understand our needs and preferences and consistently presented us with high-quality options that aligned with what we were looking for. Throughout the entire process, we felt supported and well-informed, and it was clear that Michel genuinely cared about finding the right match for us. We are so grateful for his guidance and dedication, and we wholeheartedly recommend Michel and Expats Residence to anyone searching for a rental property in The Hague. He turned what could have been a stressful journey into a smooth and enjoyable experience. Truly first-class service!

The team is very professional, reliable and friendly. Especially Julian, who fully met the requirements I had. I found that it was all a smooth and quick process with their help and guidance. I highly recommend them!

Collaborating with Michel has been an excellent experience. He is a dedicated professional who supports you at every step of the process, always ready to answer questions and offer different options based on your needs and budget. Communication with him is clear, direct, and very smooth, which makes everything easier and more reassuring. I highly recommend him!

If you are looking for a reliable and professional real estate agent in The Hague, I can wholeheartedly recommend Expat Residence. Finding an apartment with a pet was quite a challenge, especially in the current housing crisis, but Michel van der Steen quickly found me a beautiful home in a very nice neighborhood. Michel is a kind, professional, and helpful person who made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It was a pleasure to work with him! My cat and I love our new home and we are enormously grateful to Michel for his help. A real recommendation! :)

Had a pleasant collaboration with the real estate agent. Friendly staff at the office. Worth repeating.

A very pleasant selling experience. The property was sold quickly at a great price. They also assisted me with the purchase of my new home.

Very pleasant contact from the beginning with the broker Ronald. Also achieved a price above my expectation. I can definitely recommend this office.

My experience with Residence Makelaars has been very good. I strongly recommend this agency for its professionalism, efficiency and very personable way of working.

The past few months, from September through December 2024, Michel van der Steen of Expat Residence helped us with our search for a new home in the Hague/Rotterdam region. As is generally known, the rental market is quite competitive, with limited availability and many families actively looking for housing. We first met Michel when he was trying to find a property via Funda during a viewing of a house that attracted many potential tenants. We were immediately impressed by his professionalism. Trusting in his expertise, we asked if he could help us find our new home. From the beginning, it was clear that Michel understood our needs and was committed to finding the best possible real estate for us. Nine days ago, we moved into our new house. During the months of September through December, Michel was consistently proactive in searching for properties and organizing viewings. When it was time to sign the rental agreement on December 31, 2024, Michel continued to support us, even as New Year's Eve quickly approached. His help didn’t stop there; he remains available to answer any questions and assist with resolving issues with water and energy suppliers. We are very grateful to Michel for the support we have received and wholeheartedly recommend him and his team to anyone looking for a new home in the Hague/Rotterdam region. Thank you, Michel, for everything!

Markelaar (Ms M. Kemp) has a good understanding of my search area for houses market The Hague/Scheveningen, gives good advice and is very customer-oriented. Thank you!!

Excellent service from start to finish! Ronald fantastically helped us with renting out our apartment. From the first contact to the handover, he was involved, professional and always available for questions. He really took all the worries off our hands, actively thought along and ensured that everything went smoothly. Thanks to his expertise and attention to detail, we quickly found reliable tenants. We can wholeheartedly recommend Ronald to everyone who...

from introduction to sales and how; expertly, involved and very personal. Easy and quick communication WITH each other.

Michel van der Steen has been particularly attentive and professional in the rental of my furnished apartment. Photos and placement on Funda within 5 days. Always reachable by phone and Whatsapp. Also after office hours. Super satisfied.

Excellent professional who offers flexible services to expats. We had the contract finalized within a day after the home visit!

Friendly, personal, clear, and fast! Rented out my house within a week to a nice party (rented to company). Everything was super well arranged from start to finish. Understands what he's talking about and is fair. A pleasant person to work with. Highly recommend him!

Very satisfied with the service of Expat Residence. Clear and timely communication.

Everything went smoothly. The apartment was sold at according expectations. Good accompaniment during the process

This rental company and agents of this company are incredible!!! The offered apartment is perfect and the communication with the customer is amazing! I had a problem with a very urgent issue when I was away, I asked for help and everything was resolved so quickly and in an unbelievable way by the agent. Amazing! What great preparedness! Thank you!

I can recommend them to everyone. Skilled and friendly realtor.

We were very well assisted by Michel from Expat Residence. For us, this is the first time we are renting out our own house and Michel guided us through the entire process with a lot of patience. We will definitely engage him again for any future occasion.

Very good service, kept us well informed and continuously reachable. Also viewings on the weekend.

The sale of the property went quickly and professionally. Clear communication and a top result. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Expat Residence to help you navigate the very difficult housing/rental market in The Hague. I worked with Julian, who was well-informed about the different neighborhoods, assisted with contracts and utilities, and it was just a pleasure to work with. I am now happily moving into my new apartment!!

After my personal experience, I can wholeheartedly recommend Expat Residence! As a newcomer, they guided me through the entire rental process with great kindness and professionalism. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I rented an apartment in less than two weeks. I would particularly like to mention Julian as a fantastic communicator who proved not only very professional and competent but also helpful and friendly.

Great service. The collaboration with Michel was very helpful and he was always available to answer questions. I can wholeheartedly recommend Expat Residence to anyone who wants to rent a home.

Pleasant and professional assistance from Michel van der Steen

I can absolutely recommend Expat Residence. We returned from abroad and needed a house quickly. It seemed hopeless until I called this company and Michel told me I could come and view it that same day. We were able to move in soon after, and the house was beautiful! All questions we had during our stay were always answered promptly. A very friendly and professional company and service.

Collaborating with Michel was an absolute pleasure! From start to finish, he demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and efficiency. He responded quickly to my requests and provided excellent support throughout the entire process. I can wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone who wants to rent out their home.

Nice broker who communicates well and keeps his appointments. Good external contacts that lead to sufficiently good candidates!

With only a month left due to a new job, Michel and Julian took on the responsibility of facilitating our house search. Their service was both fast and efficient. Thanks to the excellent communication, they only showed us houses that met our requirements (without wasting time), and ultimately helped us within a few weeks to find and sign for a beautiful house within our budget. I admit that they also gave a lot of personal attention, based on their own experience, such as advice about the different neighborhoods in the city. They were direct and frank, but also optimistic and encouraging, and eventually we found a house that perfectly met our needs. We had one month left before our new job, and Michel and Julian took on the task of quickly and effectively finding a home for us. The communication with them was excellent; they only showed us houses that met our requirements (they didn't waste our time), and ultimately helped us within a few weeks to close the deal for a beautiful house that fit within our budget. They also brought a lot of personal attention, based on their own experience, such as advice about the different neighborhoods. They were straight through the sea and honest, but also optimistic and encouraging, and so we found our ideal home.

Michel was able to quickly find a house for us, in a very beautiful environment and it met all the criteria we had! We knew it would be a bigger challenge because we have two dogs, but Expat Residence did an excellent job searching for houses and managed to secure a house for us. Very satisfied with their service and definitely recommend them!

Julian was great to work with. We just moved from the United States to The Hague and he worked hard to find a home for us that our family really enjoys, which also meets our budget and location requirements. If you are like me and wait until the last minute to get help finding a new home in The Hague, contact Expat Residence – they really took good care of us and put our minds at ease during our quick move.

Very satisfied with the deployment and friendliness of Michel. He, together with his team, did their utmost to help me and my family get a home on very short notice. Our gratitude is very high, thank you so much! Greetings Angela and Saredj

We were looking for a new real estate agent with extensive experience in expat rentals. The team at Expat Residence rented out our property last month. Their ability to provide input on all aspects for both tenant and landlord appeals to us greatly. Everything went very professionally. Thank you!

From the first contact with Michel, I knew I had chosen the right team. Fast, accurate and they do more than expected. You can be confident that the service of Expat Residence meets your expectations, which significantly reduces stress when moving to a new country. A real recommendation!

Michel delivered fantastic work from start to finish and even after we signed the lease agreements, he is still helping. His communication is very responsive and clear. Please note that we were still looking for a rental property in the US and he didn't hesitate to help us, even with the time difference. He ensured that the transaction went smoothly and without worries. We will collaborate with him in the future for our real estate planning.

As tenants, we have had a great experience with 123Wonen and Wim. He helped us with everything. The communication was quick and smooth, as well as the key handover. I definitely recommend this rental agency!

I had a pleasant experience as a tenant. As a newcomer, I was not familiar with how things work (the Dutch rental market works quite specifically in my opinion and can be quite complex). All of this was handled quickly and smoothly by Michel. The whole process felt safe and I am happy with the new house I have moved into.

Great service: fast, careful, accessible and above all a reliable company. Very satisfied with the result. Special thanks to Michel!

Managing rentals for years, friendly, honest, reliable and fast.

Michel is a kind and professional realtor; he helped me find a suitable apartment in The Hague in a short time and saved me from the chaos of the housing market. A big thumbs up for him!

It was absolutely wonderful to work with Expat Residence. It's as if you have a friend working for you on the inside. Expat Residence truly cares about their clients. Thank you!

Good and professional guidance for the rental of my apartment. Friendly and easily accessible. My apartment is now rented to my full satisfaction and if I have questions, I can always turn to them. I wholeheartedly recommend Expat Residence.

In my life I had, until now, to do with 10-15 different real estate agents. Dimitri was by far, far the best one - actually the only one who was perfect in every dimension. Whenever I sent him a WhatsApp, whether at 7am or at 22pm or during the weekend, he responded within 10 minutes by WhatsApp or voice call. He is 100% professional, always taking client's interest first, behaving in every aspect (being on time, language, understanding what the selling points are, appearance - no sneak…

We are very pleased with Ronald's service during the sale of our house. From the first moment he was professional and expert. Residence Makelaars sold our house in a short time, with a great result.

Again nice business to have done. Rental of a purchased object for a good rental price.

Extremely satisfied 😊 with the guidance and the service. With this realtor, you can do business with peace of mind.

Dimitri and Ruben put in a great effort to sell our house quickly and well. The photos were particularly fantastic. The communication has been very pleasant, and we certainly recommend you to everyone.

Residence brokers fantastically helped us with many viewings and ultimately our dream house! Great service all round

Very friendly contact, all attention for us as the selling party but also good for the buying party with timely delivery of all information. Super well guided

Contact with Residence real estate agents was very pleasant from the very beginning. They were often one step ahead and always helped us well and thought along with us. This was my first experience selling 'our' house, and I can’t imagine a better realtor!

We are more than satisfied with how the rental process went. Michel is honest, quick to act, super reliable and really thinks along with you.

Excellent experience. Results-oriented, very professional approach to the subject matter throughout the entire process, including searching, checking and verification, interaction with the third party, consultation about contracts, utilities etc.

We had a great experience with Expat Residence Company when we offered our house for rent. Michel is very experienced, responds quickly to questions, knows his job well and is to the point. They are highly recommended.

Very happy with Michel. Much knowledge of the subject, realistic rental price. No high rental price to present in order to 'hook' the customer and then lower the price later. Thank you very much Michel!

Real Estate Agent The Hague | Expat Residence gave me an excellent experience during my move to The Hague.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Real Estate Agent The Hague | Expat Residence to anyone looking for a smooth and stress-free move to The Hague.

Michel van der Steen is the best realtor I have ever met! He helped me find a very beautiful apartment in The Hague, even though it was very difficult due to my complicated situation. He also helped me solve the payment problem. Michel literally saved my work project in the Netherlands because he arranged everything very quickly! I finally moved and I am enormously grateful to him! A real recommendation!

Again swift action and decisiveness. Well organized!

perfect when everything has been clarified!

Super good service! Michel thinks with you and is always willing to answer questions. My apartment was rented out in no time. The entire process from initial contact to the rental proceeds smoothly and professionally.

Pleasant collaboration, good service and remarkably quick response to questions or other issues. Questions/problems afterwards are handled just as quickly and adequately. Transparent, respectful, solution-oriented

Both for the tenant and the landlord, it's great to work with Expat Residence. Their dealings with both parties are respectful and correct. The short communication lines are a true relief!

Michel has rented my apartment 2 times. He is very fast and communicates excellently. Even in the evenings and weekends he is reachable for emergencies. He is involved and very helpful and friendly.

I have already rented out my apartment twice through Expat Residence. Both times it was just great! Michel is a fantastic agent. He thinks with you, he anticipates for you, he arranges everything. Everything went very professionally and smoothly. Highly recommended!

Excellent support, fast response and friendly

Michiel is an exception as a real estate agent. He's not only good at what he does; he's just a good person you can trust. He quickly rented out my apartment and handled all the admin. I will definitely work with him again in the future.

Very satisfied, pleasant realtor who helped us nicely with the rental of our home

Expat Residence is a highly professional and serious agency led by Michel van der Steen, who is fully concerned about the needs of the client. They also have extensive knowledge of the The Hague housing market, which is busy, so they can advise you and provide full support. They can also help you with matters at energy, water, internet, and TV providers. In my case, Expat Residence helped me resolve an issue with energy, which I probably would have taken more time to solve without them. Thanks again Michel!

Michel van der Steen is an excellent real estate agent, friendly, knowledgeable and able to propose the right tenants.

I have had Expatresidence manage the rental of my property 4 times. I am very pleased with the service and approach. Always thinking along and listening well to your wishes.

I have successfully rented out my apartment in The Hague through Michel and his team since 2018. Michel is enthusiastic and always delivers quickly. Furthermore, it's pleasant to do business with Michel and his team.

Good realtor! Our property was quickly rented to a very tidy tenant :-)

The service is truly special because we receive reliable advice when choosing the right home in The Hague. Michel is a very kind and reliable professional real estate agent who gave us a good feeling about our choice.

Expat Residence rented us our house. This was a smooth process. The communication was very pleasant. Michel van der Steen always responded quickly and to the point. Moreover, the house was rented out quickly, partly thanks to their good network. Expat Residence is not only a professional organization to work with, but also a friendly company.
