Huizenstede Makelaars

Highly recommend! Professional, supportive throughout, great advice & a smooth, well-organized process.

Huizenstede knows the Haarlem market inside and out, reacts very quickly at important moments and has excellently helped us prepare the house and garden for sale in every detail.

More than satisfied with the work and approach of Huizenstede. Real estate agent Claire Janssen realized the off-market sale of a property I wanted to sell in an extremely pleasant and expert manner. I am very pleased with the result, not only the selling price but also the completion, thoroughly and with attention to detail.

Huizenstede makes a reliable, experienced and knowledgeable impression on me. What I find very pleasant is the integrity in dealing with clients: there is good listening to wishes. In short, very pleasant!

Huizenstede's extensive knowledge of the local market has led us to make the right choices. Decisive action and quick communication resulted in a significantly sharper price. Previous experiences were similar. I would therefore certainly recommend Huizenstede.

Our realtor was amazing. They helped us with everything and pointed out important aspects. Throughout the entire search process, things happened where they helped us incredibly well and quickly. They acted swiftly and were truly in our best interest. Certain things I wouldn't have been able to handle as well myself. Very skilled!!

The contact went very smoothly and she listened well to our wishes and needs. Very clear in the communication and also honestly gave her opinion. Very sincere and involved

It's a shame you can't give an 11, because absolutely everything was right. Expertise, advice, the excellent accessibility, a perfect and friendly support team that seemed to know everything, keeping appointments……everything perfect. No idea who you learned the trade from Brenda, but I found it a pleasure to work with! And that also applied to Monique and Elles!

I am very satisfied with the service of Huizenstede Makelaars. A friend of mine had a great experience with them, so she recommended them to me. I can only confirm that I share the same opinion and will definitely recommend them to others. As a foreigner and buyer of my very first home in the Netherlands, I was not very familiar with the process and the rules specific to the Dutch housing market, but the real estate agents from Huizenstede Makelaars explained everything very clearly to me and kept me well informed at every step. They did their best to understand my needs and criteria and helped me find the most suitable bids. They went with me to the viewings, asked questions and pointed out details that I would have overlooked if I had been there alone. They helped me see both the specific advantages and disadvantages of the homes clearly and make an informed decision to proceed or abandon the purchase. Ultimately, they helped me place the winning bid and close the deal with my perfect match. Afterwards, they guided me through the remaining steps, including appointments with the notary, and helped me determine the correct planning for the mortgage. The service is worth the money: what I paid for the brokerage fee, I saved on the apartment. Without the guidance of Huizenstede Makelaars, I think I would have overpaid. Moreover, they saved me a lot of time, effort and stress by arranging all meetings and communication with the selling real estate agents and the owners. All in all, a 10/10 for the whole team, no complaints, only praise from my side as a very satisfied customer.

Great realtor, was very decisive about a number of things we still had to do beforehand to make the sale a success, thereby convincingly leading the sales process. Which resulted in a good result.

A very smooth and even pleasant sales process! Good communication, easily accessible, good advice and a good result. It made my moving process much more relaxed and took a lot of work off my hands.

I am very satisfied with the service provided by the Huizenstede Makelaars. A friend of mine had a great experience with them, so she recommended them to me and I can only confirm that I have the same opinion and would recommend further.

We were already familiar with this real estate agent through the purchase of our previous house in Haarlem. This had gone well, so we turned to Huizenstede Makelaars again. Once again a great choice. Both agents, Brenda Sandbergen and Timon Hogervorst, as well as their colleagues, work extremely professionally, are easily accessible, have expertise, and take the time for you when you have questions. Partly thanks to their commitment and knowledge, we have found a beautiful house in a fantastic location in Haarlem…

Houses estate for both the purchase and sale of a house. Claire is an involved and honest realtor who puts her heart and soul into it. It's quite a 'bumpy ride' for a few months. Nice that she was there during that time.

The employees of Makelaardij Huizenstede and Claire Jansen, our real estate agent, advised and guided us excellently in the search for a house in Heemstede. The employees were very flexible and accurate in making and canceling appointments. We always received an up-to-date offer of properties on the housing market. We found our real estate agent Claire to be very knowledgeable in viewing and assessing the value of the homes. And further, a very pleasant person to assist us with a pre...

Highly skilled real estate agent. Decisive, helpful and communicative during the search, negotiations and the period between purchase and delivery.

Good support and quick placement! Pleasant communication and good at thinking along. Next time I'll use this broker again.

Everything went very smoothly, and the entire office helped us well. Both searching and selling were very easy with Huizenstede on our side.

Thank you, Huizenstede Real Estate Agents, especially Claire! From the first conversation to the completion, we were helped professionally and personally. Huizenstede is knowledgeable, professional, fast, and always thinks with you. Thanks to their expertise, we sold our house quickly and for a good price. We wholeheartedly recommend Huizenstede Real Estate Agents to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled real estate agent. Thank you again for everything!

Claire (and the rest of Huizenstede) is a top performer and has excellently helped with the sale of our house. Excellent in maintaining contact, we were always kept informed of developments and continuously received good advice.

Very pleasant and professional contact. The real estate agent was always reachable and responded directly, friendly, and personally. We had a good connection; she understood what we wanted and actively thinks along with us. She shows initiative and is ready for us. During our vacation, she conducted a viewing on our behalf and made videos in the house. Ultimately, we bought the house through her. The standard purchase agreement was jointly adjusted and signed. The key transfer still needs to take place. Thank you for all your help Claire.

Really good experience, we found a fantastic house within our budget in only 2.5 weeks. The agents were very responsive, professional and diligent. Any doubts we had over negotiations, technical inspection, contracts, etc were answered very quickly. Highly recommend them!

Quickly sold for a good price. I was constantly kept well informed. The entire process went smoothly. Very satisfied, therefore!

Fast and expert service with good knowledge of the local market. Pleasant communication and really think along.

A solid 10 on all fronts! I've been recommending Brenda to acquaintances for a long time and will definitely continue to do so! Expert, collaborative, decisive, friendly and fast. Everything a good real estate agent needs!!

Highly personal service. Not the cheapest broker, but you don't want that either. The sale of your house is a major event in your life. Then you want a good and reliable partner.

Huizenstede helped us enormously during our search for a new home! Without Brenda & Charlotte, we wouldn't have been able to purchase this beautiful house!

Why we are so satisfied: The real estate agent, in retrospect, advised a realistic asking price - in accordance with the wishes of several (SIX!) parties involved. The real estate agent advised us to have an independent building inspector, whom we could refer to during the sales process. By following the styling advice (through the real estate agent), the house looked optimal and cozy, which we were of course very happy with. Communication via email, phone and app ran, onda…

Very good contact and quick response times. We were able to buy a house much faster than we thought, thanks to the help of Brenda and Timon. We are very satisfied.

Huizenstede Real Estate and in particular Claire helped us with both the previous purchase and your current sale of our house. Both times to our full satisfaction. Proactive, very accessible and helpful. And also pleasant personally, highly recommended.

Selling a house is a big thing and I was excellently helped by Huizenstede Real Estate Agents, in the person of Charlotte Rommerts. We immediately clicked and I directly trusted that she was the best person to sell my house. Very skilled, well supported by the office, enthusiastic, reliable and especially: cheerful !! It was very nice to do this process together with her.

Timon helped us very nicely with the search for our first home. The communication was fast and clear. In addition, we received honest and expert advice. We felt heard and are happy with the guidance we received in this process. As novices in the housing market, we have benefited greatly from Timon and the rest of the team!

Contact with Claire and her colleagues was smooth, pleasant, and personal. Always available for questions and/or guidance. It felt like a joint project. I would definitely recommend this realtor.

We loved working with Claire! She knows Haarlem inside and out and wouldn't have been able to get the house without her help!

Again 100% satisfied with the service provided by Huizenstede real estate agents. Brenda and Timon simply understand how it works, with a skilled team for support.

A very nice realtor, says things as they are. Gives valuable tips and advice. She was also really enthusiastic about selling our home. Definitely recommended!

Fast and professional action. Respond quickly and expertly, but also definitely a personal approach. Definitely recommended!

Super nice and good realtor. Brenda sold our house in Overveen and purchased our new home. Very pleasant collaboration; we handed over the keys during the viewings and stayed in a hotel with the whole family. Definitely recommended! Area Bloemendaal, Overveen, Aerdenhout, Heemstede, Haarlem, Amsterdam.

Recently, I bought my first home. Huizenstede Real Estate helped me a lot with that. I really found a house within no time. Timon was excellent: decisive and persistent, but also reliable and he thought along well with me. The people in the back office were also pleasant, fast and helpful. In short, I am very satisfied and I would definitely recommend Huizenstede Real Estate!

We are incredibly satisfied with the service of Timon and the rest of the team at Huizenstede Makelaars. We were extremely well guided during the purchase of our new home. Their knowledge, professional approach, and quick action helped us to buy our first house in a very short time. A real recommendation for everyone looking for a reliable and expert estate agent!

In recent months, Huizenstede has fantastically helped us with the purchase of a new home and the sale of our old home. Timon gave us good advice, was very involved and always responded quickly to developments and/or our questions. The rest of the team at Huizenstede also helped us professionally and pleasantly through all processes. I can certainly recommend Huizenstede for the Haarlem/Amsterdam region. Thanks again for the pleasant collaboration!

My apartment sold surprisingly quickly, well above all expectations. All received offers were carefully and expertly considered. Before the sales process began, Huizenstede paid a visit to provide me with excellent tips for preparing my home for sale. Beautiful photos and an attractive film were made, which undoubtedly contributed to the success. The final sale exceeded my wildest expectations. My heartfelt thanks to Charlotte for her exceptional commitment and professionalism!

In a difficult housing market, it still managed to take only a few months to find our dream house in the Ramplaankwartier neighborhood. Without the help of Huizenstede, this would not have been possible! We had a very good experience with the team at Huizenstede and are very grateful to Timon for his help!

Really helped with the purchase of a house and the sale of our apartment!

Engaged, skilled and decisive!

Top broker and excellent service

These people are willing to go the extra mile to help you find your dream home!

Very nice office. Strong in good communication and guidance, relieving burdens and transparent about expectations. Thank you.

Motivated realtor with genuine enthusiasm for the property. Pleasant and clear communication regarding placement on Funda, viewings, bids etc.

Very good! Communication and helpfulness very good. Would definitely recommend this realtor. Do everything well and quickly that you expect from a realtor. Regards

The best realtor in the area! Super happy with the quick result. Thank you so much!! I will always choose Huizenstede real estate agents in the future.

This is the second house that we are buying with Timon and in both cases it was successful thanks to the expertise and experience of this realtor. We have also experienced Brenda as very skilled. Both respond quickly and are pleasant in communication. In short, we are very satisfied!

The contact is running very smoothly and we were helped kindly. Also, frequently a phone call with an update in between!

Since I had already purchased a house that I needed to move into in the short term, there was urgency regarding the sale of my house. Huizenstede took everything out of my hands and prepared the house for sale in an exceptionally short time. Sales brochure, measurement reports, photos, energy label, Funda. Everything was arranged for me on time and with the necessary flexibility. Timon Hoogervorst personally conducted the viewings, watched over my peace of mind and took care of the business settlement. The Bac…

Very smooth process - communications, negotiations, closing - everything was smooth and always felt we are in good hands! The house viewings were organized quickly and in alignment with our schedule, good upfront advise which properties are not really matching our expectations, thus saving time. We got proactive ideas and tips throughout the whole process, which was very valuable as we are just now moving in to Netherlands. After we chose a house, the process from then on was sm…

Great employees who helped us with the purchase and sale of our home. This real estate agent is highly recommended.

It went exactly as desired and expected. And that's good. I have nothing further to add. Absolutely nothing.

Super professional and fun at the same time! Knowledge of the subject matter, easy to consult with, proactive and sharp.

What wonderful real estate agents Brenda and Charlotte! From the very first introduction, they involved me in all the ins and outs of selling my house. For example, I was allowed to submit my own photos and also add a piece of text to the Funda description. They thoroughly studied the structural drawings of my house in collaboration with the municipality and told an honest story. Brenda paid particular attention to the specific details of my characteristic home under the atten...

Very short lines, expert and honest. In short, this realtor offers value for money. Both purchase and sale handled, nothing but praise.

I am very satisfied with Huizenstede Makelaars. They are fast, knowledgeable, efficient, reliable and think along well with the client. I really found a house within no time, without a buyer's agent that would never have succeeded.

Congratulations to Brenda and her colleagues, what a good real estate agent. Everything was well and clearly communicated, the promises were kept and our expectations exceeded. I would definitely recommend them.

Claire invested a lot of time and attention in the sale of the apartment. With fine, clear and good advice, a very nice result! Absolutely recommended.

We are incredibly satisfied with the service of Timon and the rest of the team at Huizenstede Makelaars. We were extremely well guided during the purchase of our new home. Their knowledge, professional approach, and quick action helped us to buy our first house in a very short time. A real recommendation for everyone looking for a reliable and expert estate agent!

The entire sales process went very smoothly. The contact with the Huizenstede team was pleasant and excellent. You can tell from everything that it's a super well-oiled team. The inside staff and outside staff are well coordinated and work perfectly together!

Extremely happy with Claire's professional approach and pleasant communication. Received honest, professional and transparent advice. And also very enjoyable to deal with. It’s great to find a reliable real estate agent for such exciting matters! Thank you!

Timon van Huizenstede helped us find and purchase our first home. His willingness to make the purchase a success is commendable!

Quick to respond, thoughtful and created a clear picture of our wishes. Expert advice during the purchase.

We felt enormously supported in every respect for this undertaking, which was quite exciting for us. With a 10plus for the communication.

The real estate agent guided us nicely through the sales process of the family home. The communication was excellent!

Used the services of Huizenstede several times. It's good, not too formal and certainly skilled.

Best Real Estate Agent in Haarlem Good network, excellent knowledge of the market. All employees are involved and helpful.

Excellent assessment of the process flow. Timely information exchange and also well-informed, both very friendly and with an eye for the business side of the transaction.

Claire Janssen was very pleasant to work with, knowledgeable and fast. Perhaps the only enjoyable real estate agent in Amsterdam and surrounding areas.

This realtor really thinks ahead! From painter to stylist, from photographer to surveyor, all support troops were quickly deployed. In this way, we had over 30 viewings in no time, and the yield was 15% above what we expected. Purchase in the East, sale in the West, work with Huizenstede real estate agents, you won't regret it! Immediately recommended to my friends and family of course. Thank you lovely and enthusiastic all-rounders, and hopefully until next time. …

We were in quite a hurry with the sale of two properties due to the purchase that preceded it. We received very good assistance there.

Fast and clear communication. The agent was always easily accessible and happy to support where needed.

Pleasant and very fast sale. A nice buyer found for our beloved apartment. Good advice regarding the sale.

Having the feeling from the moment of meeting, this is what we need. Knowledge, expertise, enthusiasm and above all a familiar feeling.

Pleasant contact during our rather long search. Huizenstede thanks for your patience with our critical requirements package. We are very happy that we took the time with you, because the property we now purchased with you is the property we (apparently) were waiting for. You guys are top!

The house had to be quickly put on the market. Thanks to the swift action of Huizenstede real estate agents, it was sold in no time!

Claire and the entire team at Huizenstede were absolutely amazing. Attentive, available and very dedicated to helping us find the perfect home for us. Highly recommended!

Contact with both the real estate agent and office went well. We were informed about the viewings and the findings of the visits. Excellent service from Huizenstede real estate agents throughout the entire process.

Claire and her colleagues from the office helped us very well in the purchase and sale process of our house. Advice was expert, fast. Appointments were always kept on time and always accessible for any questions. For us it was an exciting process and Claire could always reassure us again! Myrthe & Rutger

Satisfied, all appointments kept, received good advice and there was a pleasant trusting relationship. Critically reviewed the building condition of the house during the viewing.

Huizenstede thinks along, cooperates and participates! A real estate agent to build with and who you can trust. Cooperates for the best result for buyer and seller and thinks in possibilities and solutions.

What a fantastic group of people work here! Timon is a master in his field and helped us quickly and confidently; the level of care and attention he provides is unparalleled. Thank you for your help securing our first home and for making each step easy and clear for us.

Huizenstede Makelaardij / Timon Hogervorst, I want to thank you/you all immensely for a fantastic living and rental experience over the past year. There were never any problems, everything was well maintained, and things ran like a well-oiled machine, which many people can be jealous of. Exceptionally pleasant, business relationship.

About a year ago we bought a building with the help of Brenda, very satisfied with her guidance, insights and guiding us through the entire process. Great communication and service :)

I recently bought a house in Haarlem with my partner. Timon, Charlotte and the team at Huizenstede were amazing! Because we didn't know the Dutch market (or Dutch...), it was invaluable to have them on our side throughout the entire process. They were fantastic during the viewings and checked every detail of the house. The after-sales process also went very smoothly. The team is very friendly, I can highly recommend them! It seems that the low Google rating is due to many one-star fake reviews.

Timon helped us very well with the purchase of our house in Haarlem. It was the second viewing and therefore hit the mark almost immediately. Timon really knows what he's doing and thinks along well. Furthermore, he is a very nice guy. We are completely happy!

The purchase in Haarlem: 2-under-1-roof in the Ramplaankwartier arranged for us, really pulled the house out of the fire! The sale in De Pijp, Amsterdam: sold for more than double our purchase a few years earlier, unbelievable. Anne, Charlotte, Monique, Claire, Brenda and of course Timon; don't know where we'd be without you!

Truly excellent real estate agency. Expert and well-versed in the market, professional, reliable and customer-focused.

Highly skilled real estate agent, both for sales and purchases, Timon and Brenda are involved and very critical when purchasing a new home. Always quick with their responses. Supportive staff in the office are also always friendly and fast to respond.

Highly skilled team that we have engaged several times over the past 15 years. From appraisal to sale and most recently the purchase of our new premises. The entire team understands its trade and is very skilled. Quick communication and action and highly service-oriented. Recommended!

Great service. Do you need a house in Haarlem, they will repair it for you.

I would recommend this real estate agent. I can only say that the entire process was perfect, arranged to the last detail. From the preparation, styling, photography and the viewings. My house was sold expertly within a week. A great real estate agent, where the whole office is ready for you at any time of day. Timon, Brenda, Claire, Anne, Monique and Charlotte, thank you very much for the excellent service! Very nice.

Bought a house twice and sold once with Timon. We are very impressed with the knowledge of the market in the region. Pleasant contacts and good solutions are thought out.

Also nice people.

2 sold and 1 purchased with Claire van Huizenstede. Good and expert service and realistic expectations are created, which means the entire process has gone smoothly 3 times.

My partner and I were very satisfied with these professionals. They are very friendly, a great approach to viewing houses, and honest. Getting honest advice and seeing things you would never notice. Ensure your expectations become reality and guide you in finding the best house within your price category. They have a lot of advice and connections through arranging foundations, taxes, and other important things you need to know before buying a home. Also, being aware of not overpaying for a property is a plus. We love our new house! Thank you very much to Timon and partners for all their efforts and for the luxury box of champagne! Strongly recommended:

As an expat who was not fully aware of all Dutch laws and regulations, it was very important to have Timon guide us through the entire process. He is easy to communicate with and very well informed about the market, which was important to get the most out of our property. Thanks to his guidance, we sold the house in just 4 days and for a higher price than we ever expected!! Would definitely recommend Huizenstede real estate agents to all expats who want to buy or sell a house in the Netherlands.

We are very satisfied with the guidance of the Huizenstede team, fast, accurate and very friendly

Huizenstede is the go-to address in the Haarlem area for buying and selling a home. They guide you and provide good advice. They know the housing market, and even in a tense housing market, we, as well as several friends and colleagues, have been successful. Huizenstede has a fun team, and Brenda & Timon are the real estate specialists who will ensure that you find the home of your dreams in 2020 as well. A reliable agency with people who are transparent & skilled and can always be there for you.

Excellent guidance throughout the entire purchase and sales process. Well-coordinated as a team with extensive knowledge of the market.

Great agency with a lot of knowledge of the Haarlem region. Brenda and Timon helped us find our house and we couldn't be more grateful! Would recommend it in a heartbeat.

Brenda is a nice realtor who knows what she's talking about!

Huizendstede is a very skilled real estate agent and knows the market very well. This agent has a very realistic view, gives good advice, and allows sufficient room for the wishes of the buyers. Is very capable of providing proper guidance during the purchase process and coming to well-considered bids together. Keeps appointments, is approachable, and keeps you as a client well informed via email contact and whatsapp about developments during the purchase and planned viewings. Gives you confidence that the conclusion of the sale is in good hands. In addition, our real estate agent also provided very good aftercare for unforeseen defects in the property, after which we were able to resolve this promptly and properly with the selling party through the agent. I would definitely recommend Huizenstede.

Moved from Amsterdam to Haarlem with the help of Timon and Brenda. They really helped us a lot with the purchase of our new house in the ramshackle quarter, both regarding structural advice and the final purchase price, the latter was very nice because in these times of scarcity you need an advisor who keeps a cool head and doesn't let you pay the top price! In my opinion, they are honest, reputable real estate agents. Sounds perhaps all very positive, but we are simply very satisfied with the services of Huizenstede.

Kind and very knowledgeable people work at Huizenstede, they sold our old apartment very quickly, divorce.... and helped me well and quickly with the purchase of a new little apartment, for a reasonable rate (of course I had to negotiate a bit ;-) )

They have helped me very well with the purchase of my new gym + property in Haarlem Centre, I recommend them.

Expert, reliable and friendly!

Highly professional. Very accessible and no question is too much. Market knowledge completely up-to-date. Thinking in solutions. The team of Huizenstede works very well together, communicates clearly and is of great added value. This was my 5th sale with Huizenstede and for the 5th time Huizenstede proves to be fully worth the commission.

In 2015 and 2106 I made 3 purchases and 1 sale with Huizenstede, within Haarlem and Overveen. Both Timon and Brenda have a pleasant and personal approach, an excellent network and good knowledge of the region. Huizenstede works result-oriented and successfully, because the result is ultimately the only thing that counts. They act quickly and adequately with a tightly organized back office which is very important, in a market that is always moving. In short, highly recommended.
