Very disappointing experience with DVA Makelaardij – not recommended for (sellers) and buyers I unfortunately do not recommend DVA Makelaardij based on my personal experience. From the beginning of the collaboration, there was clear communication about my sales conditions, including a minimum selling price. Nevertheless, after months of viewings, only one offer was presented that significantly fell below that limit – contrary to our prior agreements. What I find even more distressing is that I was pressured to accept this low offer or otherwise abandon the sale, while I had explicitly rejected this offer and confirmed it via WhatsApp. Instead of protecting my interests as a customer, it seemed that the broker’s own interest took precedence. After terminating the assignment, I received an invoice for an amount that is much higher than what we had previously agreed upon if the sale did not proceed. Attempts at substantive communication about this have been ignored or answered without clear justification. For other homeowners or buyers: be careful and document all agreements in writing. My experience with DVA Makelaardij was far from professional and has mainly resulted in frustration and legal hassle. Dear Mr. Van Aalst, Thank you for your response to my review and your explanation of the course of our collaboration. I would like to correct several factual inaccuracies and misunderstandings: Threat of negative review It is incorrect that I threatened a negative review. I indicated in our contact that if no reasonable solution were found for my objections, I might consider sharing my experience publicly – something which is my right as a consumer. This is not a threat, but a logical step when there is no response to reasonable objections. My choice to stop After 12 viewings in 3 months, no second viewings took place. The only offer presented was far below my asking price and was brought without further context or written explanation, after which the withdrawal of the sale was immediately discussed. Withdrawal costs and invoice When signing the agreement, the withdrawal costs were not explicitly discussed. The bill you subsequently sent was considerable and came as a surprise to me. I then made you a reasonable counter-proposal of 25% of the amount, as compensation for the work performed. Your categorical rejection of this, without any willingness to negotiate, does not reflect the customer-oriented attitude that you describe in your letter. Arbitration Committee My consideration of possibly submitting the case to the NVM Arbitration Committee is not intended as pressure, but as a logical consequence when a disagreement cannot be resolved through mutual consultation. You qualify this as “extortion,” but I consider it invoking a neutral assessment. I regret that you choose to dismiss my experiences and feedback as part of a broader trend of “pressure via the internet.” My review reflects my personal experience with your office and is intended to inform other consumers, just as positive reviews do. Finally, I wish you all the best in your further work as a broker. I would have preferred a different outcome, but I hope that this response helps to correctly present my side of the story. Sincerely, Richard Russell

I had an incredibly pleasant experience with DVA Makelaars. In 2018, I purchased a property where DVA real estate agents were the selling agent. They were great to communicate with, took plenty of time for the viewing, and further contact was very smooth and professional. I recently sold this property and chose DVA for the same reasons to sell it for me. The contact was extremely good again; Tineke contacted us on the same day, we had everything signed a few days later, and the sale was arranged. The house was somewhat outdated, and they even helped with having it renovated by connecting us with a contractor they know. In short: complete hassle-free service for me. I am sure that next time in the Alkmaar region I will use DVA real estate agents again. Keep up the good work Tineke and Pascal!

Incredible great collaboration with them!! Very clear agreements that they also adhere to well, and that gives confidence. Confidence was rewarded with a quick sale (within 2 weeks) and good handling. I am therefore very satisfied with my choice for this real estate agency and wholeheartedly recommend them!!!!
