Be extremely cautious when considering renting from Van der Meulen Makelaars. My two-year lease ended with an unjustified deduction of more than € 550 from my deposit, combined with misleading claims and unnecessary stress. Just a few days before moving out, their employee, Aron, conducted a pre-inspection. He clearly stated: 'It looks like no one has ever lived here - it's perfect. Exactly as it should be.' This statement gave me confidence, as we had thoroughly cleaned and maintained the apartment. Apart from a minor omission – some crumbs in the oven from cooking the night before – the apartment was clean, undamaged, and exactly as I received it. I even recorded a complete video inspection to document its condition. After my move, I expected to receive my deposit quickly. Instead, they remained silent for a week. Only after I inquired did they respond and suddenly accused me of leaving the apartment 'extremely dirty,' claimed that there were several, unspecified items missing, and that chairs were 'broken.' Initially, they specifically accused me of missing items, including the TV cabinet and the kettle. When I promptly provided video evidence clearly showing these items standing above and on the table respectively, their only response was: 'Oh, we must have overlooked them,' after which they did not respond at all. It remains baffling and suspicious how meticulously they inspected and documented minor issues, such as dust behind heavy furniture, yet managed to overlook obviously visible large items. Despite this clear video evidence, they still retained € 250 from my deposit under the vague category 'missing items.' In reality, the chairs were not broken at all. They showed only normal wear and tear: after two years of daily use, the leatherette began to peel. I had already paid monthly costs (€ 100-150 per month) that explicitly covered normal wear and tear. However, in their final settlement, they did not even specifically mention the chairs but charged me € 250 under the vague and inexplicable category 'missing items.' Initially, they refused to specify what exactly was missing. Furthermore, they charged me € 306.32 for cleaning costs, hired 25 days after my move, including the parking costs of the cleaning company – costs that clearly should not be the tenant's responsibility – further emphasizing the unreasonable and unfair nature of their charges. When I promptly offered to return and arrange the necessary cleaning, specifically the small problem with the oven, they refused because it was 'too late.' Even worse, I was explicitly informed that my lease could not be extended because the landlord had indicated that the apartment was for sale. Relying on their word, I promptly moved with my two young children, encountered significant problems finding a new home and eventually ended up in temporary accommodation. Although I am currently not certain whether the apartment was actually sold, this situation has caused considerable problems and raised concerns about their true intentions. This experience has made me feel exploited and misled. It appears to follow a pattern: They reassure tenants verbally upon check-out. Then they remain silent regarding the return of the deposit. Weeks later, they suddenly report cleaning issues, missing items or damage. They refuse offers from tenants to fix minor problems themselves. Ultimately, they retain large amounts from the deposit with exaggerated claims. I will take legal action to recover my deposit and prevent others from experiencing similar problems. I have given Van der Meulen Makelaars and the landlord time to respond and explain why the deductions were unjustified, but they ignored me. Because they refused to resolve it, I am going to court next working day. I am sharing this review to help future tenants avoid the same stress and injustice.

Very nice and pleasant landlord. They say what they do, and do what they say. Issues are taken seriously and moreover resolved quickly and properly. Also easily accessible when needed.

Everything was handled quickly and we were able to find a home and sign the contract while we were still in Canada, which made moving to Groningen considerably less stressful. Anne was great at explaining confusing information and was always very patient with us. The entire team is wonderful and they are truly good people you can trust, who are professional and helpful.

22 years of good experiences with van der Meulen real estate agents regarding representation of interests, brainstorming about renovation, rental advice etc. Partly because I live in The Hague, it feels familiar.

I have been renting through Van der Meulen Makelaars for more than 10 years. Pleasant and accurate cooperation and excellent service!

Nicely and expertly assisted with the sale of our house. We are more than satisfied with the services provided!

We had a very pleasant experience with realtor Ronald. Steffan guided us through the sale of two homes and arranging our mortgage. Everything went smoothly, professionally, and with much personal attention. Steffan is clear, honest, and genuinely thinks along with you. He takes the time to explain everything properly and kept us well informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to his commitment and knowledge, we sold both houses quickly and our mortgage was arranged quickly and without a lot of hassle. We really felt taken care of. Ronald realtor is reliable, involved, and knows what he's talking about. We would definitely recommend him! Thank you, Steffan,Ronald,Helga and Anita

Great communication and extremely customer-friendly. They do everything they can to get the financing finalized.

Well helped by real estate agent Ronald. Top service, highly recommended.

Ronald and his team helped me very well with arranging my mortgage. They are easy to reach, friendly, and take the time for you.

Very satisfied with the service provided by Ronald and Steffan. They advised us on the purchase of our new home and subsequently handled the mortgage application. The advice was good and the contact was extremely pleasant. The office is easily accessible and everyone is well informed about the status of the file. We can wholeheartedly recommend this office to you! Koos and Anja Klok

Bought a house for the 2nd time without a real estate agent and used their services both times. Always well assisted and always responded quickly to questions. Definitely recommended!

Very pleasant collaboration is a good thing when your home is viewed. Service very good.

Everything went great, we were kept well informed and the contact was pleasant and fast. I would recommend this broker.

Sold house within 2 weeks, couldn't be faster, excellent work by our realtor Ronald Toppie. no problems. everything possible, that's how we like it.

We found our new dream house. However, we could only get an appointment with our current mortgage provider 10 days later, in this time you have to act quickly, and Ronald came to our rescue. He made room in his schedule the next day so that we could go to the viewing of our dream house well informed the day after and also be able to acquire it. Extremely satisfied with this service, we asked Steffan for the sale of our own home. This went perfectly and our own home was sold in a short time. It's nice to have short lines with them so that we regularly received updates. Anita and Helga thank you for this as well. Everything was handled top-notch. We are more than satisfied! We would like to thank you enormously: Steffan and Ronald, Anita and Helga!

Ronald realtor did a good job providing our mortgage and selling our house. The communication is very fast and pleasant. They work with an online portal which makes it very easy and clear. Thanks!

If the start feels good. Then the trust is right. With the help of steffan, ronald and the team we were wonderfully helped with the sale of our house. And with the purchase of our new home. Always reachable. To answer questions and reassure you. We are super satisfied with how everything was arranged to a point. Top advisor and real estate agent!!!

Initial contact was very pleasant. After that, almost no 'personal' contact and guidance which is very helpful in the sale of a home. The entire sales process wasn't as good as I expected after the initial informative conversation. Very unfortunate...

Fantastic help from both Ronald and Steffan in arranging the mortgage and selling my own home. Everything perfectly arranged. Quick communication and you can always turn to them for questions. Highly recommended.

Maaike van Slim is an enthusiastic and involved real estate agent. The contact was very pleasant, and thanks to her expertise and enthusiasm, the house was sold very well. We could also always turn to her with all our questions.

Knowledgeable real estate agents, with extensive knowledge of many things, who guided me with great enthusiasm during the purchase (and incidentally also sale) of my house.

The agent has extensive knowledge, acts quickly and appropriately, is enthusiastic and works very thoroughly. Always accessible for questions and very accommodating.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Maaike and Alina. Their support, patience, and attention to detail really made the difference throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure that everything ran smoothly.

Good contact, even while I was on vacation. Very satisfied with the negotiations. Slightly overpriced but all brokers are like that.

Contact with Maaike from Slim Makelaardij went very smoothly. She is knowledgeable and approachable. She thinks along well and knows the Groningen housing market excellently. I am very satisfied with her guidance in the sales process.

We are very satisfied with the service provided by Slim Makelardij. Alina helped us for the second time to sell a house. If I ever need a real estate agent for the Groningen area again, I will definitely contact her again.

Very good contact, accessible, available and knowledgeable. Good strategy and a very smooth settlement.

Very good, short lists, clever!! Maaike thank you for your help and advice and your flexible commitment !! Kind regards, ds.

My house sold very quickly and well with the help of Maaike from Slim makelaardij. Excellent knowledge of the market. Despite being busy, communication was very pleasant, the approach decisive, and they always think along with you. Recommended and happy with the good sale!

Alina and Maaike were very professional and helped me with all the questions I had. They were very thorough during the viewings and provided me with the clear idea of both advantages and flaws of the properties.

Very good and skilled. Pleasant and fast contact. She exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend them.

Contact with the broker was very pleasant. Friendly, accessible and helpful/supportive. Quick response to questions and helpful and expert regarding bids.

At the beginning, we doubted whether the costs of a buyer's agent were worth it. Afterwards, we must admit that Slim’s service could have been thousands of euros more expensive. At every step of the purchasing process, a great deal is done for you. With a keen eye and critical questions during a viewing, you know exactly what to expect before bidding. All documents are also thoroughly reviewed for you and Slim ensures that you place a strategic bid. N...

Nothing less than 5 stars! We have sold 2 houses with Alina and are nothing more than satisfied with how this went. She has a lot of experience and you can tell. If you listen carefully to her and follow the advice (for e.g., styling), then she has everything to get a good price for your house. Thank you!

Great and helpful service from Maaike of Slim regarding the sale of my apartment. Fast communication, good guidance and much is taken out of your hands. In short: highly recommended!

We have been working with Alina and her team at Slim for almost 15 years now! First as buyers and meanwhile already twice we sold our own homes through Slim! Always all matters well arranged, both homes sold for an excellent price, good guidance/advice on our side and all worries taken out of our hands.

Through friends, we came to Rob van Haag. Contact was very good, our concerns were listened to well. Rob explained everything clearly. Definitely recommended as a real estate agent.

Both the real estate agent and the staff at the office are professional, knowledgeable, fast, and customer-friendly. I would definitely recommend them!

Short lines, clear, direct, and expert. Both the purchase of our new house with this realtor as well as the sale of my old house.

Expert and pleasant in communication. I am very happy with Rob van Haag as a buyer's agent. He gave honest advice, thought strategically along with me, and was always easily accessible. Thanks to his calm and expert approach, I felt well guided and was able to buy my home with confidence. A nice professional whom I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic help and the guidance was excellent!! Both the realtor and the other staff members were very friendly and helpful.

Pleasant collaboration. Real estate agents with extensive knowledge of the housing market and good financial advice. Very reliable. Communication always runs smoothly. Nebo real estate agency is highly recommended!!!

Looking for a real estate agent in Groningen? Look no further and choose NEBO Real Estate! It's truly a super friendly and genuine agency. Rob helped us with the purchase of a new home and the sale of our current home. Normally a stressful period, but Rob ensures, with his knowledge, flexibility, and calmness, that you get through the entire period without stress. The result is that we were able to buy a beautiful house and our current property was sold for a great price. I can recommend NEBO Real Estate to everyone!

We couldn't have been better helped than by NEBO. From A to Z, the entire team was ready for us to guide us through the jungle of the current housing market, which was really great as first-time buyers. Ultimately, we found our dream house after 3 months of searching & viewing. My friend and I are super grateful to the whole team at NEBO. We would recommend them to everyone!

As an expat in Groningen, finding a home can be quite a challenge, but NEBO made it surprisingly smooth and successful. I had the pleasure of working with Rob and Marcel, who were both exceptionally friendly, professional, and responsive. They handled the process with great attention to detail and impressive speed. They checked every aspect of each property and always carefully considered my preferences. Their supportive and accessible attitude during viewings and the purchasing process gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. Thanks to their help, I was able to find and buy a beautiful house that truly meets my wishes. I can honestly say that this would not have been possible without NEBO, and especially without Rob and Marcel. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable real estate agent in Groningen, especially to other expats like myself.

Excellent real estate agency, with which you can come to agreements openly, clearly and honestly.

Frequent contact with both the real estate agent and his assistant Marjet, very understanding and extensive explanation 10+

Nice real estate agency. Easily accessible, critical when viewing properties and negotiated quickly and well for us.

Definitely recommended, clarity and customer-focused. Good knowledge and research with every action and always reachable.

Rob has been my purchasing agent years ago and, of course, also my selling agent now. Nice service from this brokerage office.

Very satisfied with how the sale of the house went. Rob knows a lot about it and it went smoothly.

After several previous, very pleasant experiences with (Met) Bauke, I confidently sold my house and bought a new one. The fact that I always return to Bauke and his partner Anna speaks volumes, as far as I'm concerned :-)

In the meantime, we have already purchased a house twice where Bauke was the selling real estate agent. This time, Bauke and Anna sold our house. Always extremely pleasant and personal contact. Both Bauke and Anna are ready for you and think along with you. You notice in everything that they really know what they're talking about. We would recommend Makelaardij Met Bauke to everyone!

The guidance from Bauke and Anna is very professional, they help with all parts of the sale, and were a great support for me!! They also ensure that you get the best price for your house, fantastic people. Highly recommend them!

Very pleasant personal contact. Good and honest advice, not only regarding the asking price but also preparing for sale. All-in price photos, Funda, interior design advice. In short, a very good experience

Bauke and Anna are very accessible, completely take care of everything for you, are expert and have taken the sale of our house entirely out of our hands, relieving us of stress. Highly recommended!

Simple and effective process, pleasant communication with Bauke and Anna, good result. We are very satisfied with our choice for Bauke!

The contacts were very pleasant, this was experienced by both the seller and the buyer. Good knowledge of the market. Very good guidance regarding preparation of viewings, decisive during negotiation, the seller is closely involved throughout the entire sales process.

Property purchased two years ago through Bauke and now sold again through Bauke. Both times, we had incredibly pleasant contact with Bauke and Anna! Much involvement and knowledge.

Bauke and Anna, with their team, took care of the sale of Oude Hoflaan to perfection. I am very pleased with their expert help. Always excellent communication. Bauke has a lot of knowledge about the housing market in Haren and surrounding areas. Highly recommended.

Bauke and Anna provide a personal service. They have extensive knowledge of this segment and ensure that the sellers are guided with care and attention.

We are very pleased with the collaboration with Bauke and Anna. The contact was very pleasant, they were very helpful and flexible.

Had a very pleasant contact with Real Estate Agency Met Bauke, both with Bauke and Anna. I had no experience with selling a house but through regular and good consultation, I was able to confidently leave this in their hands. Always available for questions and giving advice (even during vacation time!). Truly super customer friendly!1 The entire sales process went smoothly and pleasantly and with an excellent result. Without any doubt and with great pleasure, I recommend Real Estate Agency…

Very nice and engaged realtor, easily accessible for all questions. During the sale of my house, there was an unexpected setback regarding the condition of the house. Bauke took on a lot of extra work to ensure that it was resolved neatly for both myself and the buyer. I would recommend him to everyone!

Friendly and personal contact. Good 'package' service during sales. Focus heavily on visibility on funda. Aware of all developments in the market and asking price adjusted to current affairs.

Nice contact, good explanation and you are fully taken care of. The path to the sale is a lot more comfortable.

During the sale of our house, we were helped in a pleasant and personal way by Anna and Bauke from Met Bauke. In the sales process, they were very involved and easily accessible, and provided sound advice when we had questions. We experienced this as very enjoyable. We highly recommend Met Bauke.

After a very pleasant introductory meeting with Bauke, it was clear that he has an immense amount of experience and knowledge of the market. In addition, his pragmatic view ensures that you know exactly what to expect. He ensures that your house looks beautiful on Funda by using an interior stylist who comes for advice, a good photographer, and he uses features on Funda such as 'eye-catcher'. What I personally also find very pleasant is that Bauke takes the time for everyone interested. If people prefer a personal tour instead of coming to an 'open house', he schedules individual appointments. He thinks it's important that everyone gets the chance to view your house. It’s easy to discuss and align with Bauke, which has resulted in a smooth sale and a good price for our house. Bauke is a true professional.
