We had a very negative and extremely frustrating experience with Stefan de Vries Makelaars. What we experienced with Stefan last week was truly everything. This was not a misunderstanding or bad luck, but a pile-up of empty promises, backed-out appointments and zero responsibility. We had an oral agreement on the purchase of a property. That agreement was then confirmed via voicemail, e-mail and WhatsApp. For us the deal was done. In good faith we immediately handed over our personal documents and passports that were needed for the purchase contract, so it could be drawn up. We thought we finally had certainty. Shortly afterwards it turned out that the property was not at all removed from the market, which was supposed to be the agreement. Other interested parties could therefore continue to make offers, and that had happened. There was a higher offer half a day later. According to the real estate agent and sellers it was about “man to man, word to word”, but that turned out to be complete nonsense. That so-called word disappeared immediately as soon as there was a higher offer somewhere. We had to match the higher offer in order to get the property after all. We did that, with the clear statement that we wanted to sign immediately so as not to go through this again. That was not possible, because according to the agent there was no capacity at that moment to draw up the purchase agreement. We were given again the promise that there would not be such a situation again and that we could now really trust him on his word. In hindsight, that was again an empty promise. The next morning we were called again: the deal would not go through anyway, because the other bidders had raised their offer again. Again the oral agreement was ignored, again the word was taken back. Apparently an agreement with this real estate agent means absolutely nothing. He then hid behind the “legal rules” and wishes of his clients, while he at the same time presents himself as an ethical and correct per
