Leef Makelaars

Expert, friendly, easily accessible! Collaborative and flexible. In short: we wholeheartedly recommend Jochum Steur!

Jochum and his team helped me very well. The communication was good, clear, and fast. Always equally friendly and professional. I definitely recommend this realtor!

This is the second time we've been incredibly well helped by Leef real estate agents. Collaboration goes very smoothly, they give good advice and take a lot of work off our hands. If I ever buy or sell a house again, I want to do that with them.

Leef Makelaars excellently helped me in my search and purchase. They understood well what I did and didn't want, came up with good suggestions and advice, and were incredibly pleasant to work with. Many thanks to Jeroen, Willemijn and Suzanne for your brainstorming, empathy, and all the help, and to all the super efficient and helpful support staff!

Wouter and Jochem and the back office, thank you very much for your expertise. Even when things got a bit tense, you kept a cool head. We also found the contact to be approachable and relaxed. No slick brokers but transparent and nice people!

Contact with the real estate agent was very pleasant, went smoothly, and I always received quick responses. After the first conversation, they knew exactly what I was looking for and we could start searching specifically.

Leef is expert, kind, involved and compassionate. Everything is discussed thoroughly and with full confidence we could enter the process. Happy with our choice for Leef!

Due to the good reviews, our choice fell on Leef, unfortunately we had a different experience with Leef. It started already at the beginning of the sales process, which was initiated a month later because the real estate agent went on vacation and otherwise the colleagues would be too heavily burdened. Subsequently, the asking price was set too high and poor advice was given about the layout of the property where adjustments should have been made due to rental history. The description of the property was later by onsz…

Friendly, regular contact and well informed about local market knowledge. Clear communication so that we always knew what to expect.

We are very satisfied with Leef Makelaars! They sold our house in a pleasant and professional manner. The communication was smooth, we were well informed, and the result was excellent: the house was sold quickly and for a good price. Highly recommended!

Excellent, friendly, skilled. Everything well communicated and skilled people who know what they're talking about.

It has been a very positive experience, our real estate agents from Leef have been very friendly, helpful, guided us through every step, created a very beautiful online presentation for our house, and gave plenty of great advice.

We already had confidence in Leef Makelaars beforehand, and that turned out to be completely justified. Good and regular communication. Excellent!

I can recommend Leef Makelaardij to everyone. Searching for, buying a new home and selling your own home is an exhausting process. We were expertly informed, well-informed and pleasantly guided through all steps of this process. Jochum Steur has a friendly and expert team around him. They are easily accessible, emails and phone calls are answered quickly. Highly recommended! Marijanne van der Schalk

Good and frequent contact. Easily accessible, much knowledge of the subject matter and very pleasant people. And above all honest.

A tip for the broker, don't present customers with a choice regarding the selling price. The customer often goes for the highest amount, which isn't always realistic.

Always good and quick contact with the real estate agent. If she wasn't available, her colleague took over. He too was fully informed and acted swiftly.

Friendly, accessible and expert! Second time working with Leef and again very satisfied with the collaboration

Enthusiastic and driven real estate agent, Jochum and Suzanne are pleasant to deal with. We took the lead ourselves regarding the interior design of the house, doing more than advised. We also renovated the attic into living space prior to the sale because this benefits the yield per m2 ((advice from another real estate agent). The backoffice support from LEEF is fantastic, again pleasant to deal with, helpful, alert and accurate. A good addition o...

extremely professional staff. They are very knowledgeable and work with attention to every detail. They will go the extra mile whenever it is necessary.

No fluff, but genuine connection, expert guidance and a pleasant collaboration when selling my house.

Jochum van Leef! guided us in a very pleasant and expert manner through a complex purchase. Reliable, no nonsense, good communication and collaboration. I can recommend Jochum and his colleagues without any doubt!

Very attentive and helpful real estate agent. You receive regular updates during the sales process and after viewings. There is always time for consultation. Very helpful with questions and finding solutions, even when things get a little more difficult. I got to know this realtor (Willemijn Balm) during the purchase of property. The excellent experience led me to decide to use this realtor again for the sale. Expectations were 100% met. …

The team at Leef real estate agents is fantastic. From the first time (for a quote), the sales preparation, the sale itself and the settlement….. what a good experience this was. As a customer, you are excellently kept informed of all steps and we found the contact exceptionally good. You notice that this is a well-oiled organization where passionate, enthusiastic people work. We considered 3 real estate agents (received quotes) and ultimately chose Leef and I would…

We had another very pleasant contact with Leef real estate agents; we engaged them for the 3rd time in the sale of our house. Always enthusiastic and helpful, Willemijn helped us perfectly, as Jochum did on other occasions. We certainly recommend this realtor!

Great brokers, the guidance was fantastic, fast, correct knowledge of this market, sales price above expectations, we would recommend this office to everyone, definitely worth 10 points

Extensive insight into reference objects, good guidance on the steps to take and the timing thereof. Delivered a desired and quick end result. Moreover, we were helped by expert and pleasant brokers!

I found them very quickly, which was very pleasant. Buyers didn't have a real estate agent and from what I can assess, they were well guided to reach the purchase agreement. During the structural survey, damage was caused by the inspector. That should have been settled on the spot in my opinion, it would have avoided hassle afterwards.

Extremely careful and well prepared. A plus are very friendly employees who are always ready for you

Leef Makelaars delivered fantastic work! They got our house (in accordance with our wishes) onto the market very quickly and guided us through a very successful sale. We felt heard and understood from the beginning. The contact with the various employees was both professional and pleasant. In addition, we would like to especially thank Wouter for his care of our cats during the viewings—I was afraid they would escape (due to people coming and going) but thanks to his attentiveness everything went smoothly. Leef Makelaars is highly recommended by us!

Jochem and his team are all very pleasant to deal with and skilled professionals. Good sparring about what I want / what is possible, expectation management, structural and commercial advice. With an internal department that offers you excellent fast service. In short: very satisfied customer & warmly recommended!

In a pleasant and personal way, very expert. Clear plan of approach and good presentation. But also when things don't run smoothly in the market, good support for the salesperson. Often work in complementary 'sets', which works very pleasantly!

We have had a relationship with Leef for some time, and contact with Jochum has always been very pleasant. Despite encountering some obstacles, the communication has been open and constructive, allowing room for each other's opinions. The expertise of Leef and the passion with which they sell your house or the time they take during the purchase is very enjoyable.

Leef has arranged several things for us. I must say their experience ensures that the quality of service is constantly improving. We can quickly switch with Jochem and his back office. Thank you for that!

Contact with the real estate agent was always pleasant. Both with the agent themselves and the office. Expert real estate agent.

Very nice and personal contact. The real estate agents of Leef! know what they do. Give good advice and are very accessible. They understand that selling a house is also a mental step and take you along well in this. They work with a good and friendly photographer. If moving wasn't a hobby, I would call them again immediately!

Leef Makelaars is very friendly and always accessible for consultation. They helped us well with the sale of the property.

Nice, charismatic brokers who provide peace of mind and communicate clearly. Despite the fact that the housing market is overheated, they have certainly shown their added value.

I really bought a house at record speed in Haarlem-Noord with the help of Leef! I wasn't necessarily very optimistic when I started (in the middle of a divorce, a very difficult housing market), but the team at Leef gave me confidence and they thought along well. They went to the first viewing with me, thought about my offer, and then my first offer was immediately accepted. I found it to be a pleasant collaboration overall and a smooth process in a stressful perio...

From the beginning, we were immediately enthusiastic about Leef Makelaars. The calm, the enthusiasm and really taking the time to see if it clicked, we liked that. From Leef, we were well informed of every step. Wouter and Jeroen presented the house with attention and enthusiasm to the potential buyers and the result is certainly something to be proud of. Thank you!

Contact with Leef is excellent; if you have questions, they are there for you, and they also proactively offer advice without being overly present. Top realtor!

Excellent service and guidance. Extremely pleasant contact, personal and professional. They are extremely careful with the documents relating to matters that are important.

Fantastic guidance from Jochum and his team. First, we visited a house and a plot of land with him, and he guided us well by clearly communicating all the pros and cons. Leef also has the technical building expertise to provide good advice and give clear insight into the actual value of the property. At the 3rd house, we had Jochum make an offer, due to multiple bids, we were allowed to make a final bid and ultimately we have …

It was a very pleasant collaboration with the real estate agent. They listened well to what we wanted and our wish list. Therefore, a very beautiful house was purchased.

Leef Makelaars is a very nice real estate agent, they are always ready to help and gave us good advice. They helped us even before we decided to work with them. They are friendly, realistic and helpful!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Leef! Brokers, both for buying and selling a home.

Purchase went smoothly and quickly. The real estate agent knew what he was talking about. The involvement of the real estate agent helped us with the purchase.

Live! Real Estate Agency is an incredibly accessible, helpful and expert office! My real estate agent really put me at ease and truly worked hard for my wishes. The communication with the office itself is also fantastic. Always reachable, quick responses, everything is investigated. I have nothing but praise for Live! And recommend this agency to everyone!

I had good contact with the team from Leef, Anna, Willemijn and Jeroen. They are clear in their communication, give appropriate advice, and have a genuine interest in what you find important.

Real estate agents Jochum and Willemijn guided and helped us well in the sale of our apartment. The internal staff members Inge and Anne were also readily available when we had questions. We recommend Leef! Makelaars for purchasing or selling real estate!

Leef has been our 'house' realtor for years and we are still (or actually again) satisfied with the approach and handling regarding the incredibly fast sale of our house. It’s only because we are leaving the region, otherwise we would definitely use the services of this expert realtor(s) (Suzanne and Willemijn) again in a next sale. As far as we're concerned, a solid 10!

Leef exceeded all expectations: they are masters in their field! The entire team acted in a friendly yet very professional manner with empathy and humor. They didn't miss a beat, and did everything to make the sales process as easy as possible. They were also very experienced and competent when it came to bidding.

Good contact and pleasant involvement of the brokers and secretaries. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Very satisfied with the entire process.

Living Brokers! They are nice brokers to go house hunting with. Although there is quite a difference in pro-activity per broker. Pay attention to what you find pleasant and let the relevant broker know. They are certainly open to this!

The commitments and agreements made to relieve us through your commitment and expertise have been fully honored.

Excellent no problems !!! Great feedback top!! Good advice and clear communication !!! Well informed about the things that are important

Engaged and expert people, easily accessible, clear communication, good guidance and a professional handling of the sale of our house.

Leef Makelaars takes the time to carefully prepare the sale. A clear plan was made for viewings and any bids on a specific date. This made the sales process clear for both seller and buyer, and ensured that no one would be faced with unpleasant surprises. Guidance before, during and after the sales process was experienced as very pleasant. I would certainly recommend this real estate agent for both buying and selling!

Sound advice regarding bidding. Agents relieve the stress of your purchase and actively work for you, and collaboration is personal and warm. The guidance and follow-up after purchase are also excellent.

Jochum is an expert, friendly and very responsive real estate agent. No cowboy and no fuss. Absolutely recommended.

Great. Nice real estate agency, friendly people. Good advice. Good price. Skilled. What more do you want?

Live! helped us for the second time, and it went just as smoothly as the first time. Their expertise, support throughout the entire process, and price-quality ratio are highly valued.

A very fine team to work with. Expert, involved, enthusiastic and very friendly. Leef guided us well through the entire sales process.

Pleasant contact, no-nonsense approach, quick follow-up during viewings and response to questions. Careful analysis when determining the amount of bids.

The contact was consistently transparent, friendly and professional. Just nice doing business with Leef Makelaars.

Our house was presented beautifully on Funda in our opinion, thanks to the very professional photographer. The communication with Leef! Makelaars was always pleasant and transparent. Thanks Jeroen, Wouter, Inge, Willemijn, Jochum, Suus and Anne!

Pleasant collaboration with the entire team. Communication clear. Very helpful and quick response to your questions.

Contact with Leef! Makelaars has been and is excellent. We are very happy with Leef! Makelaars and can recommend them to everyone.

Highly skilled people, are always ready to assist you and you can contact them with any question. You receive quick answers, they think along with you and are all very friendly. Truly a top real estate agent!

Contact with Wouter and Jeroen was pleasant and open. They followed up on all appointments, were very service-oriented, and communication was excellent in between. A downside was that the property (via a company recommended by them) was inspected structurally. Subsequently, the buyer had the property inspected structurally again with a completely different result. That turned out to be an expensive lesson. Nevertheless, we are very satisfied with these real estate agents!

Very happy with the help and expertise of Jeroen. He was able to ensure that the house could still be purchased, even in a difficult situation (other bidders at the last moment). Very happy with Jeroen and definitely recommend him!

I found my realtor very competent and very friendly. I was consistently well-informed about the sales process and all the documents that had to be submitted to the notary. Truly a top realtor!

Good consultation and good follow-up when needed. Pleasant to deal with. Good photographer who cooperates with Leef!

Congratulations to all employees of Leef! with whom we have been in contact: Jeroen, Willemijn, Wouter, Inge, Anne… for the expert advice, adequate response, quick and pleasant communication! Thank you!

Suitable workers and don't hold a sausage from you. Clearly what life has to offer. Together reviewed the order of sales and what you can expect and what not.

Very pleasant and knowledgeable realtor. I was well guided and advised during the sales process and its preparation. Clear communication and clear agreements. Highly recommended!

Contact with the real estate agent went smoothly, punctually and clearly. The guidance was careful, personal and pleasant. The feedback after the viewings was clear and concrete. In addition to advice, there was also room for personal input. All in all, I am extremely satisfied!

From overview of buying a new home, to superspeed selling of our current home. We experienced Leef! as a very expert party, with a high service level. The clear communication gives peace and confidence. So are you looking for an expert party for the sale & purchase? We can certainly recommend Leef!

In five weeks' time (from getting acquainted to signing a preliminary purchase agreement), my house was sold. I have nothing but words of praise. The contact is pleasant, fast, and adequate. Due to the choice of a package for the media (such as photos, 3D photos, film of the house), only well-prepared viewers come. Clearly agreeing on a few viewing days and scheduling them on my workdays, I experienced as very pleasant. From the real estate agents there is a short line of communication, and from d...

During the vacation period, we had contact with multiple brokers from Leef and also met them beforehand. Nice people with a lot of knowledge of the market and Haarlem who guided us through the entire process. I would recommend them to acquaintances.

The real estate agents are very friendly and provide good advice regarding the asking price to be mentioned. We heard from the buyers that they were also very friendly during the viewing.

Brokers Jochum and Suzanne know the market, were very enthusiastic and enormously helpful. This also applies to the people at the office. LEEF! is, as far as I'm concerned, THE broker in Haarlem!

Very personal and friendly contacts. Always quickly answering the phone. Small group of well-working people!!

When I had found my house, Willemijn started taking action and office hours didn't apply! Clear explanation of the options in the bidding process and good advice ensured a successful purchase. Her input was also valuable during the viewings. The back office was always very accessible for questions and planning viewings, even without a real estate agent. Top!

Live! Real estate brokers-appraisers is truly recommended. The contact is very pleasant and clear. They give good advice. Around the viewings, sale and finalization phase, the lines were short and I was always kept informed of developments. There was really good personal guidance!

It's incredibly nice to work with Leef!. From the very first conversation, it felt right. I had the pleasure of being assisted by Suzanne, Willemijn, Jochum and Jeroen, and in every case I felt that I was in good hands. They know a lot about the neighborhoods/properties and carefully consider all the pros and cons that a house can have so they can give you good advice. When I wanted to bid on this house, Willemijn guided me fantastically. Without Leef! so…

This is the second time we've sold a house through Leef! and we were again very happy with the guidance, accessibility, and knowledge of all employees. Highly recommended!

Live! Realtors exceeded our expectations. They are expert, clear in their communication, extremely accessible and pleasant to deal with. Our house was sold quickly thanks to their good advice.

It went great, everything nice and smooth and quickly sold, had good viewings and those were also well guided and that appealed to the potential buyers.

With Willemijn van Leef Makelaars we were able to start immediately! We had seen an apartment and she helped us with her expertise to get it! I would recommend everyone to contact Leef makelaars for expertise and results!

Absolutely a fantastic realtor!! Jeroen & Suzanne provided the most contact and Luca for admin. All equally friendly, patient, professional, relaxed, positive, etc. Communication was also clear and always available. Can't think of anything negative.

As expats it's important to have someone you trust as a makelaar. The team were not only reliable but professional and super helpful guiding us through every step of this process with patience and expertise. The whole team went above and beyond, highly recommended!

Excellent and engaged team on all fronts! Good personal guidance, help and explanation. My questions were always answered quickly and expertly. I recommend this realtor to everyone.

Very fine real estate agent. The team helped us tremendously with a matter concerning our house from the past. Compliments to Willemijn, who was always ready for us and communicates clearly and concisely.

Much more than just a realtor, people with passion who also look at and think along with the person and not only the property. A warm bath in this harsh society!

Experienced very great helpfulness in solving a problem with the owners of our neighboring house. Very satisfied with the collaboration and involvement of Jochum.

Very fine real estate agency in Haarlem. Friendly employees who give clear explanations about their services. After a short period of searching, they managed to purchase my dream apartment! Thanks Marc

Top experience! We bought a house this year and the entire process was super easy and pleasant. In June, we first had an exploratory appointment with Jochum at the office after which we started viewing properties. When Jochum wasn't available, there was always another real estate agent available, and further communication took place through Inge or Luca. They respond quickly, are critical, think along, and give good advice during both the viewings and the process surrounding bidding. We ultimately found a house within 3 months that we are superblij with and recommend Leef! Makelaars to everyone!

Excellent service and nice people, I am very satisfied.

We have had very good, multiple experiences with the team at Leef. Through Leef, we bought an apartment, sold our house and welcomed several tenants. Every time extremely honest, professional and pleasant to work with. Nick Haasnoot

The real estate agent lied blatantly about the terms and conditions surrounding the rental of an apartment. There was no one within the company who even blinked, let alone offered an apology when I pointed out that their agents were knowingly providing incorrect information. Subsequently treated quite rudely regarding the termination of the lease agreement and further processing. Disgraceful company. Oh, and an addition to the response below: nicely fabricated, but it's about the hard lies and false promises that the real estate agent presented to us during the viewing to convince us to take the property. And the rudeness started with you. Then you can also expect an unfriendly reply. Greetings.

We had been searching for a house in Haarlem with various real estate agents for 2 years, but it only succeeded when we started working together with Leef. It was a great experience to work with such a responsive, helpful and service-oriented team. Getting honest advice about the properties, the local market and arranging bids, even on short notice, could be done without any fuss, the communication was fast and efficient. Our advisor supported us at every step of the process, from planning the visit to arranging the technical inspection, appraisal and notary. We wholeheartedly recommend Leef, especially for non-Dutch speakers who may not be so familiar with the specific characteristics of the Dutch real estate market!

Thanks to Jochum and his team, an excellent sales price was achieved, and that at a competitive all-in rate, including a very extensive photo report and complete support throughout the entire sales process. Beyond business, the team is incredibly friendly and involved. As far as we are concerned, Leef makelaars scores a solid 10!

U Win Zaw

Very satisfied with Leef as a buyer's agent. The viewings were arranged quickly and they put in full effort to find a home for us. Thanks to Leef, we found a beautiful home quickly.

Pleasant contact with expertise. They guided me well in selling my house.

Nice realtor, reliable, committed, pleasant to deal with
