Genuine, honest, reliable, on time, realistically assessing the value of real estate, both as a buyer's agent and as a seller's agent

Martijn Baart is a very skilled real estate agent. He guided us very well through a difficult process. In moments when we were indecisive, he convinced us to make the right choices. Moreover, he also gave us some valuable advice when purchasing our new home.

Martijn is almost always quickly reachable, delivers information quickly and unsolicited, demonstrating a good understanding of the matter.

Very nice realtor. He guided us wonderfully with our newly purchased house. And then he put our current house on the market in a very pleasant and professional manner, which resulted in it being sold within a few days. I can recommend him to everyone looking for a reliable, friendly, and experienced realtor. Compliments Martijn and keep up the good work!

I would recommend Martijn’s professionalism, care, and honesty over and over again to anyone looking to buy, sell, rent and rent out apartments. Anyone international and Dutch. I can’t be thankful enough for his invaluable advice and service over the past eight years.

Martijn is a pleasant real estate agent and is well informed about the market. The strategy he devised worked perfectly for the sale of our house, with a result that exceeded expectations. Martijn is easy to reach, even outside office hours. In his communication, he is straightforward. Besides selling our house, he also made a very commendable effort in purchasing our new home. I certainly recommend Martijn as a real estate agent.

Martijn and his office work very carefully, proactively, and well-organized. Martijn provides timely direction when things need to be done, he has various contacts that he can quickly activate if needed. He is very accessible, works in an approachable manner, he is skilled, careful, does what he says, and is very reliable. I already knew Martijn as chairman of the VvE but also as a real estate agent I am very satisfied with him. I highly recommend him!

How nice it is to leave everything related to the sale of a house to Martijn. The A for Attention to the needs of a client, in addition to an eye for detail, professional attitude and reliability make Martijn a pleasant real estate agent to work with.

Always accessible, clear position and quick processing so we are very satisfied with the guidance and the result

The first conversation with Martijn felt immediately pleasant. It was an (sales) introductory meeting (who are we, what are we going to do, what are the wishes), and he told us who they are. He had prepared well and knew everything about the neighborhood in terms of real estate. After we walked around the house, he immediately came up with a proposal. He also indicated that we would be doing it together and that we should feel good about it. We had other conversations with brokers but Martijn's stood out head and shoulders above the rest. A week later, photos were taken, and three days after that, we were online. Martijn had made some predictions beforehand, and they all came true, that’s how familiar he is with this market. The house is now sold, and we look back on a very pleasant collaboration! Not bad to mention; Martijn was always available for us. Every question was answered immediately, even on weekends or in the evenings. He even helped us when we had questions about the 'purchase' house -> Thank you Martijn

Professional, pleasant and efficient collaboration!

Michel van IQ Makelaars is a very expert real estate agent. Personal and involved. We recommend IQ Makelaars!

We started working with Michel in April 2023, and after thoroughly understanding our expectations and requirements, he clearly outlined the services he could offer us with transparency. He accompanied us to all house viewings and shared his recommendations with us candidly and rationally. Even during his annual leave, he scheduled house viewing appointments for us and actively worked during the offer phase. His positive attitude and expertise provided us with encouragement and support throughout the process. We owe a big thank you to Michel, who joined us throughout the entire home search journey and also accompanied us during all the notary and inspection processes. He kept us constantly informed, ensuring that no detail escaped our attention. We would recommend working with Michel to anyone looking for a home, and we wish you the best of luck.

We hebben met Michel samengewerkt tijdens onze zoektocht naar een huis en we zijn erg blij met het resultaat. We hebben ons huis gevonden, de koop afgerond en Michel heeft ons gedurende dit hele proces met alles geholpen. Bedankt Michel! Een echte aanrader.

Unclear website.

I only asked/engaged Jarl Brouwer very late. He was very willing and helpful. (Almost stripped the shirt from my back, but that's only a good thing, and necessary...) As a purchasing agent, he was accommodating and helpful. He managed to 'get' the property in this very inflated Amsterdam market, and we have since purchased him. More than satisfied. He knows the ins and outs of the situation, especially on the Amsterdam market, and is always ready to be helpful. With pleasant and personal contact. - WARM recommendation!

I worked with Michel de Bruijn on the purchase of my first house and it was a really nice experience. Michel guided me through every phase, from searching to buying. He went with me on every viewing and arranged everything. He also informed me about the good and bad sides of the houses. I can definitely recommend him and I will certainly work with him again in the future if I need help.

We collaborated with Michel de Bruijn as our real estate agent in the first half of 2020 and we achieved our goal: the purchase of our first home. He gave relevant advice and facilitated communication with selling agents. He brought his expertise into the process and saved us money by reporting the right offer. He was always available for viewings and questions. We recommend his work and hope to collaborate again in the future on a new home. With kind regards, Luana Goulart

We are very happy with Michel de Bruijn as our purchasing agent. The house was actually exactly what we were looking for. Everything went flawlessly. Michel is clear, punctual and very pleasant to deal with. Thank you, Michel!

Great realtor. Michel is truly there for you. Communication also takes place via Whatsapp, which is very fast and pleasant. Of course, you can always call him too. You can definitely go to him with questions. He answers as quickly as possible. Honest and genuine! We sold our house so quickly. We were really well helped.

Michel fantastically helped us. My friend and I were new to the Amsterdam housing market and didn't know where to start. Michel took the time to explain things to us and was very involved in our search process. After office hours, Michel was also available and nothing seemed too much for him. He is very assertive and really wants you to buy a top house. He doesn't push you and takes the time for your wishes. Luckily we found a house quickly and are living with great pleasure in Amsterdam. We would ask Michel again if we were looking for a new house!

Michel de Bruijn from IQ brokers assisted me in the purchase of my house and the sale of my apartment. He did this very professionally and expertly. He is well informed about all developments in the Amsterdam and Haarlem housing market. This allowed me to acquire my dream home at a time when the housing market in Haarlem was seriously strained. I was also able to sell my apartment for a very good price thanks to Michel's efforts.

Jarl superbly guided us in the sale of our house in Amsterdam. He ensured that we received a very good price for it, always kept his appointments and gave the right advice. Making you feel as a customer that you matter is very important, and Jarl did that for us. We are grateful to him to this day.

Jarl from IQ helped me excellently and ensured that I was able to remain patient. Because that was ultimately very well rewarded! Even after the sale, Jarl remained involved. Very nice!

Good guidance from IQ broker Michel de Bruijn during the sale of our apartment on the Zuidas in Amsterdam. Available 24/7 for our questions, an eye for quality is reflected in the choice of photographer (incl. styling), beautiful brochure and very importantly, managed to achieve a good sales price with normal commission. In short, very happy.

Een hoogwaardige service met een klantgerichte aanpak. Ze bieden professionaliteit gecombineerd met een warme en persoonlijke benadering. Hun aandacht voor detail en toewijding aan klanttevredenheid zetten de toon voor een eersteklas vastgoedervaring. Ik beveel dit makelaarskantoor van harte aan!

Uitstekend! Bedankt!

Wij zijn in contact gekomen met MMRE als geïnteresseerde huurders in een woning die zij aanboden. De begeleiding die zij geven in het proces en de prettige communicatie is ruim 5 sterren waard!

Samenwerken met dit team verloopt vlekkeloos. Ze zijn altijd bereikbaar en proactief, waardoor alle stress rondom vastgoedzaken verdwijnt. Het is duidelijk dat ze de belangen van hun klanten boven alles stellen. Als u op zoek bent naar professionals die snel reageren en handelen, dan bent u hier aan het juiste adres.

Een ontzettend fijne ervaring met MMRE. Zij hebben voor mij in recordtijd een woning weten te vinden!

Ontzettend fijne ervaring met Meijer & Münninghoff Real Estate! Deskundig, vriendelijk en altijd bereikbaar via telefoon en WhatsApp. Alles verliep snel en soepel. Echt een aanrader!

Ik heb een fantastische ervaring gehad met makelaarskantoor Meijer & Munninghoff. Ze bieden een persoonlijke benadering, zijn efficiënt en hét kantoor voor verhuizingen en verhuur. Ze waren een grote hulp en ik kan ze van harte aanbevelen.

Ze zeggen wat ze doen en doen wat ze zeggen. Precies wat je nodig hebt in de hectische verhuistijd! Ontzorgen en betrouwbaar.

Betrouwbaar en deskundig, en fijne mensen om mee samen te werken. Ze stonden elk moment van het proces voor ons klaar. Echt een aanrader!

Een fantastische ervaring met Meijer & Münninghoff Real Estate. Ze hebben me geholpen mijn droomhuis in Amsterdam te vinden en het hele proces verliep soepel en stressvrij. Zeer professioneel, attent en oprecht begaan met hun klanten. Een echte aanrader!

Twee keer een fantastische ervaring. Zeven jaar geleden en dit jaar weer. Haar kennis van de Amsterdamse vastgoedmarkt is uitzonderlijk, en ze is professioneel, betrouwbaar, integer en erg prettig in de omgang. In de drukke wereld van makelaars springt ze er echt uit. Bij haar bent u absoluut in goede handen. Vijf sterren, een echte aanrader.

Carola accompanied the sale of an apartment that we recently bought. We experienced the process as very positive and transparent, and would therefore wholeheartedly recommend Aardenhout Makelaardij!

Carola was fantastic! Professional and quick in communication, good at explaining things, clear advice and multiple people who have viewed [something] through us have complimented her.

We felt very well supported throughout the entire purchasing process due to smooth and professional communication, a very good eye for details about the house and neighborhood as well as a great collaboration during the bidding process. We would work again together any time.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Aardenhout Makelaardij. Carola was fantastic! As expats who bought our first house in the Netherlands, we would have been lost without Carola. I have recommended Aardenhout Makelaardij to all my friends in Amsterdam and Haarlem.

For the appraisal of our apartment, Carola expertly and quickly helped us. The communication was also very pleasant, and we are very satisfied with the result.

My partner and I used this service when we moved from the United States. The low rating is due to the administrative and follow-up care. EHN registers you for your utilities (here they call that registering). Unfortunately, they registered me at the wrong address for my utilities. This caused huge problems and it took 3 years to fix this (for real!). When I called and e-mailed the company multiple times to get help or point out their mistake, I got no response. No callback, no e-mail, no further support. When you move to a new country, you want to be able to rely on the office you're working with to register your utilities at the correct address. Or – at a minimum – that they know how to register your utilities. All in all, I would not recommend this service.

Isabella and the team did fantastic work in finding a home and I am extremely happy with the result. Their online platform made it very easy to arrange viewings, and they were always reachable via WhatsApp to answer my many questions and gave me a lot of good advice. Again, thank you very much, Isabella! :)

Amazing experience with EHN! Isabella was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. The communication went smoothly, everything went quickly and within a week I already found a beautiful apartment. I am very happy with how everything went. I wholeheartedly recommend EHN to everyone who is looking for help finding a place as an expat!

Isabella answered all my questions excellently and handled the process as quickly and efficiently as possible! I really appreciate that!

Expat Housing Network provided us with an excellent experience during the purchase of our home. From the first viewing to the final steps of the transaction, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. A special thanks goes out to Kimo, whose presence during the viewings was of immeasurable value. He shared a lot of useful information about the properties, local market and buying process in the Netherlands, making the decision-making process much easier and more confident. Also a big thank you to Diovana for smoothly and well-organized managing the entire purchase process. The communication was always clear, timely and supportive, making what is often a stressful process feel smooth and well-managed. All in all, a very professional and reliable team. I would definitely recommend Expat Housing Network to anyone who wants to buy a property in the Netherlands.

Had a very fine experience with Lilet from Expat Housing Network. She acts quickly, thinks along well, has the right knowledge and is also pleasant to deal with. We had some challenges, but she handled them very competently. Very satisfied, I definitely recommend her!

A real recommendation! For non-native speakers (and also for some native speakers) this is extremely handy, since they help you find your way through the entire process. Thank you Diovana and team :)

EHN was extremely helpful in finding an apartment. Bella was fantastic, she answered all my questions and communicated clearly via WhatsApp and phone. She even went to viewings on my behalf when I didn't have time to take off from work. She explained all the options to me. Thanks to her and EHN, I found a beautiful furnished apartment within one and a half weeks after my move to Amsterdam!

EHN helped me sell my apartment and I honestly couldn't have wished for a better service. Great communication, a friendly and personal approach, and the entire process went almost entirely without the need for others to intervene. Everything was arranged for me. Super professional and honest cooperation, no games or nonsense, just honest and efficient work. A real recommendation. Thanks Kimo and the whole team!

EHN has helped me a lot in finding an apartment in Amsterdam. They were attentive and thought along about what the best option would be from the available options. They also went along to the viewings, but I sometimes found that a pity, because they had taken the trouble to come to the viewing, which only lasted 15 minutes. Still, I appreciate the support. I highly recommend EHN when looking for a rental apartment in Amsterdam!

Fantastic help from Lilet in finding the perfect people to rent out our apartment. Also afterwards very professional real estate management and communication.

Hello, I have now activated EHN twice. Both times by Lilet. She is a wonderful person. She thinks quickly and has enough of half a word to find the best solution. She is pragmatic, diligent, friendly and very representative. I can recommend everyone to work with her and EHN.

The Expat Housing Network is unfortunately not suitable for independent expats or freelancers. The entire process feels lacking and far too restrictive. On their registration form, multiple service areas are listed, such as Utrecht and Rotterdam, but in reality they only serve Amsterdam – and selecting those other options causes the form to completely fail. The housing shown on their website is usually already rented out, making it impossible to see what's actually available. There is no map view of the housing and the communication assumes that you already have a Dutch phone number. Furthermore, they secretly screen applicants based on income – if you don't meet their internal threshold, you're immediately rejected without offering alternatives, such as demonstrating savings or offering prepaid rent. For everyone looking for housing that qualifies under the BRP regulation (Basic Residential Housing Program), especially freelancers or creatives, this service feels unintuitive and deliberately exclusive.

After months of searching on my own without success, I decided to collaborate with Diovana and Isabelle. On my first attempt, I won the bid for exactly the apartment I wanted. They gave me valuable insights into how the housing market in the Netherlands works, including what I could expect with overbids per city. That helped me adjust my expectations and my Funda search, so that I could focus on homes that actually met my requirements. They guided me through every step, so that I knew what to expect, and they were always warm and helpful.

An fantastic team. My contact person was Lilet Lasala, she was so knowledgeable and well-informed, guided me through what I found a difficult process and found my dream apartment. After I had rented the apartment, they also connected me with Utility Direct, who helped me with setting up my electricity, water and cable/internet. I can wholeheartedly recommend them.

Very good service, thank you for everything.

Overall, I have had a great experience with Expat Housing Network, despite my situation being unique. I contacted them halfway through the process, after my offer on a house had been accepted, asking for help with checking documents, filling out the questionnaire, and doing price research. They handled everything thoroughly. Unfortunately, the deal did not go through after we saw the results of the structural survey, but EHN continued to support me throughout the entire process. I then asked for a full service package, but since they didn't have capacity at that time, they offered a reasonable partial refund of the deposit. There was some miscommunication at the beginning because everything went quite quickly, but nevertheless I appreciate their professionalism and would definitely recommend them for help with real estate transactions!

We had a fantastic experience with EHN! They were professional, reliable and extremely helpful throughout the entire house search process, which was a huge relief given our busy schedules. Particularly the way they coordinated all communication, not only with potential landlords, but also with scheduling the key handover and arranging the utilities, was very pleasant. Finally, we greatly appreciated their friendly and positive attitude. We would definitely recommend EHN to anyone looking for a new house!

Lilet Lasala was of immeasurable value in finding a tenant for my apartment in Amsterdam. She was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient in guiding me through the Dutch rental legislation and also gave useful tips to make the process easier. I can wholeheartedly recommend her.
