Bles & Van der Does has been rated with a 8.2 out of a total of 37 reviews
Very poorly assisted with obtaining our mortgage. This was pointed out to the owner, but we received no response. Very poor communication, no answer to our phone calls and emails. It took almost 9 months in total before the mortgage was finalized, bizarre!!! This caused a lot of stress. Bad experience with this company, I certainly do not recommend this company for help obtaining a mortgage. The worst thing is that no apology came our way.
I have been a customer of Bles van der Does for almost 25 years, no complaints so far ☺ Recently had medical expenses in Greece and submitted them digitally last week, already received confirmation that they will be reimbursed, I am very satisfied
Account and all insurances are handled here. What a service! They are customer-focused, take everything out of your hands with an insurance matter and you are actually well insured without any hidden issues. Furthermore, no long queues on the phone, but real personal service and quick response. Super satisfied
Always friendly and professional help
Bad 1 word then that's already too much. Our death risk applied far too low, resulting in the possibility of having to sell our house upon death. You don't want this. Due to previous complaints, we were able to have a meeting about it. This conversation lasted only 3 minutes and quickly turned to whether we needed other means from them, such as a statement from RegioBank.
We have been a customer of Bles & Van der Does for about 4 years now. We are very satisfied with both the ladies at reception and the advisors themselves. Very accessible and approachable. No question is too much for them and they investigate everything thoroughly for you. They take all worries out of your hands. In short, excellent service.
Marco Smit helped my wife and me with the purchase of a new family home in Enschede. He did his best to understand our specific wishes and gave us his expert opinion on several houses we had viewed. He even advised us against buying a couple of houses because they had problems that we hadn't noticed or were too expensive. When we found a property that met our requirements, he helped us with making a fair offer and the transfer process. We were very satisfied with his help and the final purchase. A real recommendation.
Very well assisted by Bles and van der Does. They have helped us very well before with the purchase of our first house and recently with the sale of our house and the financing of a new-build home. We were assisted very professionally in a case that was not always easy. Without Bles, I don't think we would have managed. I can really recommend them wholeheartedly.
Very nice experience with Bles and Van Der Does. Reliable, transparent, friendly and reasonable. Recommended!
Rarely in my life have I encountered such an unprofessional broker/organization. The communication throughout the process was poor and not transparent. At the front, a family member was talked into a monthly subscription that would cover all costs. After signing, various costs emerged afterwards and were interwoven in strange constructions. Following several conversations where we requested clarification, it was decided to stop all services and products with this club. If you want to be treated properly and pay a fair price, my advice is to go elsewhere.
Excellent and extremely friendly assistance with the sale of our family home. Well guided from start to finish with efficient communication, and a handy portal/website. Marco Smit comes across as an experienced and realistic real estate agent who also provides relief together with his colleagues. In short, highly recommended this real estate agent!
Excellent real estate agent, expert advice and communication very good. House sold within 2 weeks and everything arranged to the last detail. All in all, super satisfied.
Extremely pleasant treatment where the customer is central
They arranged everything for us from A to Z. Very satisfied, and I recommend the services of Bles & Van der Does to everyone. Marko, Henk, and the rest of the team will help you with a smile and professionalism.
Clear information where you immediately knew what to expect with everything, very beautiful brochure about selling a house.
Very unfriendly reception by an employee on the phone. We are very interested in a particular house. After 3 weeks, still no mention of 'under offer' or 'sold subject to contract'. As long as that is not stated, there is a chance it hasn't been sold yet, right? Or she didn’t want me to call anymore because it was apparently so obvious... I had indicated that our house could be sold by them. That also wasn't interesting. That's how you do business🙄 Customer service at its best
Been a customer for several years and purchased multiple products. Unfortunately, the service has deteriorated over the years. Below are some examples of my experiences in the past year. 1. Personal data was shared with another company without consultation with me. This company would take over activities from BvdD. The extra costs for this of €200,- were initially also charged to me. The costs were not invoiced, as compensation I was told. 2. Costs of the appraiser still appeared on the final bill, while I had already paid these after consultation with BvdD. 3. With two different advisors from this company it was agreed that an insurance policy (taken out via BvdD) would be split. This turned out to be ultimately not possible and caused extra costs. 4. I had to sign documents. I indicated that the content did not match the agreements made. This was vehemently denied. After lodging a complaint and providing evidence (previously sent emails), I was transferred to another advisor. The errors in communication and incomplete advice continued to occur. No apologies were ever made, and written complaints remained unanswered.
Find the communication a bit peculiar.
Good real estate agency and prices are realistic, certainly given the overheated market.
A personal approach, which was very pleasant from the first conversation. Fantastic help with the sale of our mother's house. That’s how the good memories remain. Thank you Marco, and team.
We have been a client of Bles and van der Does since 2011 and are very satisfied with them. In 2011 they helped us with our first mortgage and in 2020 they arranged the mortgage for us again. We appreciate their knowledge, quick response times, but especially the personal contact with Evert Jan, Karen and Marco as very pleasant. In 2020 we bought a new home and Bles en Van der Does helped us as a buyer's agent and also as a seller's agent for our own home. Marco is a true expert and with his enthusiasm, we would have sold our own home very quickly! We are very satisfied with Bles and van der Does and can recommend their services to everyone!
Thank you for the great service when refinancing our mortgage! This company is professional, clear and as far as we're concerned very customer-friendly. Highly recommended!
Friendly people who take the time for you and think along with you
Financial advisor? Yes for their own wallets! Cheap is expensive at this office! Due to a faulty calculation by Mr. the advisor, we first received an unexpected bill from the notary; we still had to pay an additional 700 euros just before the transfer of our new home, costs that we hadn't accounted for (a mistake in Mr. the advisor’s calculation). Then, six months later, we received another bill, due to extra valuation costs, forwarded (due to a mistake on their part, it had been overlooked). Whether we would like to pay this now. No excuse, absolutely nothing! Yes, I should have checked the settlement with the notary myself. I didn't do that because I assumed they would do so for me for the amount they charged for their advisory fees. In addition, we felt compelled to take out a subscription. We obviously stopped this immediately after the hassle around the unexpected extra invoice. But they continue to deduct the subscription costs. How can you call yourself a financial advisor when you have such poor administrative organization? We should have just gone to De Hypotheker, or something like that; it would have saved us a lot of money. Because this office delivers far below standard!
Clear mortgage advice, with attention to the personal situation. They take the time for you and keep you well informed throughout the entire process. Good knowledge of the market.
Our situation was a bit more complicated than usual. We decided to look for a good mortgage advisor. On the recommendation of an acquaintance, we ended up with Bles and van der Does. Bles and van der Does helped us perfectly. They carefully consider your personal situation and see all opportunities. In addition, they know the market very well and have good contacts with mortgage lenders. This resulted in everything running smoothly. We were also kept well informed about all steps.
Results are based on the last 12 months.
