Unable to reach them by phone, via email you are completely ignored. They do want to receive something every month, but to actually perform any maintenance work, they stay far away from you. Very bad and worthless company!! I'll still save the photos for a while (don't know how long yet) of the total backlog of maintenance

Transparent, good communication. Definitely recommended!

Extremely satisfied with Robert's communication and working methods!

Very satisfied with the collaboration! Robert is very accessible and pleasant to deal with. He thinks along well and ensures smooth, enjoyable communication.

Much is promised on the front end, however things are handled poorly afterwards. Poorly accessible by phone!

I was an international student who stayed in the house for approximately 9 months during the 2022-2023 academic year. Until now, I haven't really had the time and capacity to write a review. It was quite a terrible experience, which began from the first day we moved in. When I moved in, the kitchen was a mess (I have attached a video of the kitchen at the moment I entered the house). There were empty bottles lying around, and crumbs and stains etc. on the counter. Trash cans in the backyard were quite full. Next to the trash cans, there was waste piled up. It took one of my roommates and me 4 hours to clean up the kitchen. We couldn't follow the waste collection schedule because there was garbage left over from the previous tenants. There were 2 abandoned containers in the backyard that were no longer accepted for waste collection by the authorities. I heard from Omrin that those containers hadn’t been accepted for a year. Those containers were still full of trash when I moved in and had made an appointment with Omrin to pick them up. During my stay, I had to contact the real estate agent, Robert, several times, but mostly I received slow responses from him, sometimes he didn't even respond to my emails. Slowly, like a week or two. I sometimes remembered my roommates and I asked him coincidentally the same, and he responded to my roommates except for me. I received no response from him after sending multiple emails at different times. Once I had moved out, I told him that he should keep a letter for me because it was important, and I wasn't in the Netherlands at that time. I asked if he could refer me to a contact person who lives in that house so that I can talk directly with them about picking up my letter. He told me that he would be happy to keep it for me, but after a while he told me that I could just ring the doorbell and ask for the letter. I stood at the door several times until someone was home. However, everything was cleared up and there was no sign of my letter. Honestly, this isn't the biggest problem. However, it is still an example of how irresponsible an agent can be. The worst thing for me in this situation is that our deposit was written off without a legitimate reason. As mentioned above, the house was full of garbage on the day we moved in. We couldn’t empty the containers on the day we moved out, and it's not our responsibility to do so if they are left behind. Apparently Robert didn't think so. I paid €385 as a deposit, and he returned me €274.12. I asked for the bill to check whether we consumed more g/w/e than we paid, but he did not send me the exact bill. I sent him multiple emails requesting one, but he kept dodging providing the documents. I asked him why the deposit was deducted and he said that he had to pay for cleaning up the garbage. Oh, don’t get me wrong, so why was the house such a mess when we moved in? It's been almost a year since this happened, but it still gets on my nerves. I have attached our screenshots of our conversations on WhatsApp. When I sent him the video that I made when I arrived there, and also the video attached to this comment, he claimed that it wasn’t true, and then sent me a screenshot of a video he made in June/2022, which he showed me during a house visit while showing me the video. He claimed that the photo showed how the house was on the day we moved in. That's practically nonsense. The guy didn't even try to beat the recording date. I moved out on 31/8/2022, he showed me a screenshot of a video he made in June/2022, saying that this is exactly the status of the house when we moved in. This has been THE WORST rental experience of my life. I have consulted some legal advice and they said that the contract was very tricky. Some articles were removed, but remained ominous. The advisor also said that he knew we wouldn't pay for the legal service to sue him, because it would cost more than the amount we lost.

Beware of this fraudulent landlord. (See also the news report on sikkom) Robert Ternede is a known scammer in Groningen and does not hesitate to threaten with violence when payment is late.

After renting a property from Nova Vastgoed in the Rivierenbuurt for some time, I can recommend them to everyone. Had good contact with Mr. Ter Nede. A few times when there was an issue with a defective tap, it was resolved that same day.

Good and open communication. A lot of interest from potential buyers. Good guidance. The spacious view and the facilities around the house played a major role. The forums via Funda were excellent.

I would rather live on the street than rent a house from Lucas Klamer again. Literally the worst rental experience I've ever had.

Words cannot describe how unprofessional and bad this rental company is, especially Lucas Klamer himself. He is extremely unprofessional and doesn't seem to make any effort for his work.

It is not recommended to work with this company, especially not with the owner

I would not recommend anyone to work with this ‘enterprise’, even now that the housing crisis in Groningen continues. Mr. Klamer has a tendency to avoid contact, especially when it comes to finances. In my case, the down payment was not returned more than 3 months after leaving the rental property despite the absence of any obligation regarding damages etc. Furthermore, reporting damage to properties is also problematic; there are simply no responses.

Luuk was the property manager for the owner. During the years, we have had communication via email. As a tenant, I have had a positive experience with him. Generally, I feel that I can trust him.

People, do NOT go into the sea with this man! Communication isn't bad, but simply not present. Mr. doesn't keep appointments and tries to rip you off wherever possible.

Very satisfied with this realtor. The realtor has excellent knowledge of the local market. A professional and reliable company. Quick, short updates on progress. Excellent settlement. Reliable!

If I could give minus 5 stars, I would. I lived in a shared flat for over 4 years and managed my Klamer. I stayed there because it was good enough for the Groningen situation. However, Klamer entered our house without any prior notice (illegally), even went so far as to simply open doors and walk into our rooms, but denied that, even though other roommates saw him doing it. Reimbursements would take an eternity and only happen after much insistence on our part, and usually are 'half-baked' (not done properly). 1.5 years after I moved out, I still haven’t received my full deposit for no reason whatsoever. Don't be fooled: he will be responsive, nice and attentive at first, get you to sign and receive your money (you don’t even have to let him withdraw the money from your account, you can simply transfer it yourself, although he will tell you otherwise, check the law), but once he has your money, he will much prefer to ignore you rather than take care of his tenants. Luckily I usually had a good time, although that was thanks to my roommates and our humor.

Real estate agency Lucas Klamer manages our real estate in Groningen. We are very happy with them: problems are adequately resolved, they collaborate on changes, and they respond to our questions quickly. As far as we're concerned, definitely worth 5 stars!

We had a pleasant experience with the sale of our house! Everything was arranged quickly and we found the contact with the real estate agent very agreeable. We appreciated receiving an update from the real estate agent after each viewing day about the interested parties in our house, which gave us a good picture of how the viewings went and who the potential buyers were.

Contact with our broker Joan for the sale of our house was very pleasant from the beginning. It felt familiar, was always accessible for questions and really thought along with us. We greatly appreciated the updates after each viewing and the beautiful photos of the property. A broker we would recommend to everyone for selling their home!

Excellent collaboration with both gentlemen. This was the second time and very satisfied. The house was sold without problems.

Everything is all arranged perfectly well. It also went very quickly. The first viewer turned out to be the buyer in the end. The men from Smit and Douma are very skilled. They made fantastic photos and videos.

Contact with the real estate agent was excellent. Quick responses. Furthermore, good advice regarding the asking price and selling price. In short, more than satisfied.

Expert, friendly, quickly and clearly answer all questions. Very nice to have on board when buying a house or apartment.

Pleasant contact during my search. Also, being able to communicate via WhatsApp always works easily and quickly.

I am not a client of this real estate agent, but I am receiving unsolicited spam (by mail) because they recently sold a property in our neighborhood. I have not given permission to receive advertising from you.

Very nice people at Smit and Douma real estate agents. When we purchased our current home 5 years ago, we were already positive about them. A lot was done back then in the hectic time to secure a property. Now, 5 years later, they are selling for us. Joan is always available to clarify questions and uncertainties. Joan is professional, direct, clear, and importantly down to earth.

From the first contact to the handover of our old house, Rudi has supported us wonderfully. The contact was very pleasant, informal and yet professional. Thanks in part to Rudi, we now live in our dream home!

We experienced the guidance from Joan in both the purchase and sale of our home as very pleasant. Quick communication, nice updates after the viewings, and always available for questions. We can definitely recommend this real estate agent!

Joan and Rudy guided us through the buying and selling process. After inviting three local real estate agents, it was actually quite clear to us that we would choose Smit and Douma. During the first meeting, they immediately took a good look at our house and measured it directly so Joan could determine a good price based on comparable properties. Joan was also able to provide a lot of certainty about the price we could expect, so we could adjust our budget accordingly. When it came to properties for purchase, thorough research was done and comparable properties and their bidding behavior were analyzed. We also experienced both processes as very positive. Joan and Rudy were also available on weekends if quick decisions had to be made for both the sale and purchase. They create contracts digitally so that we, as buyers and sellers, can sign quickly, which speeds up the cooling-off period. For us as sellers, this provides quick certainty. All in all, very satisfied. We hope to live in our new house for a long time, but if we ever move again, we will definitely involve Joan and Rudy again.

Excellent contact with the broker and expert advice. What particularly impressed us is that the broker doesn't let themselves be 'rushed' by the current housing market and can realize tailor-made solutions when it comes to our wishes as clients. Absolutely recommendable both as a buyer’s and seller’s agent!

The contact went smoothly and quickly. Expert and friendly gentlemen. I always received a quick response and knew well where I stood.

Joan and Rudy excellently guided us in searching for, and ultimately purchasing, our first home. Due to the challenging housing market, we had several viewings in the city of Groningen and the surrounding villages. Joan or Rudy were always happy to accompany us without complaint, and we greatly benefited from their expert comments on the properties. We also really appreciated discussing what we truly seek in a home and the suggestions for realistic bids. An absolute recommendation as a buyer's agent. Thanks for the guidance! Gert-Jan and Anouk

Robbert Jan was, together with Joyce, an enormous help in finding a house to buy. I was under great time pressure and he was more than willing to work with me not only to view as many houses as possible, but also to make an offer on time and ultimately make a purchase that I had confidence in. His insights at each house we visited were helpful to help me estimate how much certain renovations would cost, for example. I trusted him…

From the beginning, I have had a good connection with this real estate agent. They were very involved and always kept me well informed. This real estate agent is truly recommended. I am very satisfied.

Extremely skilled. Good and fast communication. Does what he says and says what he does. Together with his wife a good couple. Can certainly recommend Robbert Jan.

Always reachable, always helpful, good advice, energetic friendly and a good network. Every euro worth it.

We recommend RJ Makelaardij because it's a young company that handled the guidance and sale of the apartment from start to finish perfectly. Beautiful photo presentation and they really think along with you!

To RobbertJan, We appreciate all your help with the sale of our house. Your marketing strategies, negotiation skills and attention to detail made the process simple. We are so grateful for the effort you put in to keep us informed and confident while navigating this important milestone. I have already referred your name to my friends in NL, who may need your help in the future. The way you work on home deals (both buying and selling) is simply amazing. I can certainly say that you are the best Real Estate Agent in all of Netherlands. Thanks again for your hard work and efforts, you are the best.

Pleasant contact, arranged through a connection. Clear communication and agreements made. Also flexible response to changing market conditions.

RJ realtor is a very pleasant and careful realtor. They think along with you very well, know exactly what service means. Everything went very smoothly, and when you even get feedback from the buying party saying what a nice realtor they are, friendly and knowledgeable, that's quite the compliment. We are very satisfied, and would definitely recommend RJ realtor for selling your house. Alfred and Marjolein Biemolt

Selling your home is very exciting but with Robbert Jan and Joyce it was a party. Many friends and family in our area who were also busy buying or selling but in conversation we quickly realized that Robbert Jan and Joyce really distinguish themselves from other real estate agents. Realistic advice suitable for the current market. But what was very pleasant for us was the contact. Very short lines, good communication and no surprises. A very nice collaboration and we r...

RJ Realty helped me excellently on my way with the search and purchase for my first home. Very happy with them and thank you :)

RJ Realty helped us with the sale of our house. We are very satisfied. Friendly, efficient, easily accessible, everything was explained very clearly and they are both very personable with a passion for their profession. We definitely recommend RJ.

Contact went well. Were kept well informed of the progress and the agent was willing to help with everything.

We are quickly and well supported and have always received honest advice, even though the sale did not go as planned. Everything was always taken care of to the smallest detail and it was easy to get in touch with the brokers.

Buying a home in these bizarre times? Fortunately, RJ Real Estate assisted us. RJ Real Estate made the difference for us!

I experienced the collaboration with RJ Makelaardij as very pleasant. With short lines of communication, a personal approach, and expertise, you are assured of a smooth and efficient sales process.

You are starting something new and then entering the unknown - you can no longer see the forest for the trees. It is wise to look for a broker where you can ask questions / via WhatsApp / by phone or email. RJ Makelaars does what they say - we are so happy with RJ Makelaars. Start of a new journey for us. RJ Makelaars engaged for an introduction - ultimately Robert Jan and Joyce guided us in purchasing a new home! Everything up to…

Charlotte and Lieve helped us excellently! We couldn't have imagined a better real estate agent. 10/10

PvW has greatly helped with the sale of my house! Firstly, the speed at which everything was handled, then very beautiful photos for their and the Funda website. Pleasant communication, with humor and very professional. Good preparation and handling of the viewings. In short, a very pleasant real estate agent to do business with!

Fast, positive, and super helpful!

Thanks to Charlotte's quick action, we were able to view properties on very short notice and act quickly. Involved, expert and enthusiastic. With the help of Charlotte, the entire process of purchasing our home was a party.

Charlotte has helped me tremendously with the sale of my house. Her charismatic and positive character, knowledge, skill, and appearance shine through everything she does. This meant that even selling my house, which can be quite stressful, went smoothly and with complete confidence. Thank you Charlotte and team!

Very nice realtor (Charlotte), excellent communication, good accessibility, quick responses etc., and also very professional, honest, genuine and delightfully enthusiastic. If we were ever to move again (don't want to think about it, haha), we would definitely hire them again, what a lovely realtor and great company. We are super satisfied with the purchase and sale of our new and current house. Thank you very much for the pleasant experience! You are a top team, keep this up and continue like this!

Charlotte, what a great woman you are! What excellent work you and your team have done. We were really extremely well helped with both the purchase and sale of our house. You were always ready for us and responded quickly. Your enthusiasm, drive but especially your positivity makes you a top real estate agent 🫶😃. Thank you very much for everything.

Charlotte has helped us multiple times with a sale or rental of a property. The collaboration has always suited us very well. She is good at what she does.

Good at consultation. Keeps appointments and sells houses with passion. In short, don't look any further, this is the realtor you are looking for

During the process we found discrepancies with the original information shared at the viewing. We still decided to go ahead and buy, even though we had to cover additional expenses due to these discrepancies missed by the agent. On the other side I'm glad I followed her advice and move the search to a different area of the city that would fit better my family needs, and indeed we're very happy with our new neighborhood.

(Charlotte) from Prins van Wijngaarden real estate agency helped us professionally and with full positive energy, a pleasant communication, and excellent accessibility; we felt very heard and assisted. It's a stellar team, what toppers! And in our case, what a topper Charlotte was! We are incredibly satisfied with our realtor > Charlotte of Prins van Wijngaarden Makelaardij, definitely recommended! Thank you for the lovely guidance through the process…

Charlotte and her team are fantastic. Knowledgeable, realistic, fast responses and clear communication.

I couldn't have wished for a better real estate agent. I am enormously grateful to Charlotte and her team for the guidance and the sale of my home.

Very happy with the professional and pleasant help, I could really rely on Sharon. I truly felt that she took the time for us and sensed that she genuinely wanted to help us find the best house without paying too much for it. Should we ever look for something else, I would ask her again immediately.

Nothing but praise for Charlotte and her team. From the first minute, they have guided us excellently in both the purchase of a new house and the sale of our current home. Always accessible and no question is too much. Also all the technical knowledge that Charlotte has was incredibly valuable with the purchase of our new home. She is bold, knows what she's talking about and when we need a real estate agent again next time, we will without a doubt...

Very professional, fast and modern in communication. This realtor does what she says, and the result has been achieved. A success!
