All brokers in Heerhugowaard

The team The Dutch Houses is extremely professional. Strengths (1) very good insight into the local housing market and living environment (2) very good guidance: the entire (rental) process is carefully followed; from advice, taking interior photos, viewings, screening tenants, drafting contracts and handover to the tenants (3) a tailor-made service with short communication lines. In short: very satisfied with the team of Gonda and I wholeheartedly recommend The Dutch Houses!

We are very pleased with the approach and service of Dutch Houses during the sale of our house. The real estate agency is very expert and works professionally. This was visible in fulfilling all agreements made, in giving extra advice to have the property ready for sale, in tightly (timely) informing us of the status and feedback on our questions. We felt understood and respected. We certainly recommend Dutch Houses as a real estate agent.

Since 2020 I have been renting out my property. At that time, I had several conversations with real estate agents. I chose The Dutch Houses because they had the most knowledge of the local market. This proved to be correct. I have rented out my property four times through Dutch Houses. That always went quickly, which meant I had no/little vacancy. The guidance from Gonda and her team is professional, expert, and adequate. In addition, the personal contact is pleasant and connecting. If I were to rent out again, my choice would again be The Dutch Houses.

Gonda and her team are extremely efficient and professional, they think along and ahead. Partly due to the exceptional network they have, our house was sold in a flash. We would recommend Dutch houses to everyone.

The team at Dutch Houses was very creative in tailoring their approach to potential buyers during the sale of our house. They always treated those interested with a lot of patience. We are very satisfied with their support.

Professional team, but also warm and friendly in communication. Great collaboration. And sold our house very quickly!

Gonda and her team at Dutch Houses excellently helped us with both renting and later selling our house in Bergen. With empathy, expertise, and dedication, they fantastically assisted us.

I have always been very well assisted, both for the rental and sale of my house in Bergen. The approach is personal with quick feedback. Good communication was very important to me because I live abroad and The Dutch Houses arranged things well for me. They are a small but very passionate team with a positive and result-oriented appearance.

The Dutch Houses looks not at stones but at people. Very special. An excellent realtor!

Gonda went above and beyond. She acted professionally with a human touch, responded quickly, and provided exceptional service. Highly recommended from the bottom of my heart!

A very professional organization that focuses on achieving the best results for its customers! Moreover, it is a very pleasant team to work with!

Very nice realtor with patience for their clients, they helped me enormously with selling my first home :)

From the very beginning to the end, excellent guidance and good advice. Ultimately sold after only six viewings, and both buyer and seller look back with pleasure on the attention and guidance of The Dutch Houses. Just a little different, just a little better but above all very personal.

Nice, team. Good cooperation and pleasant to deal with. Worked hard to find our "dream house". 👍 …

Very well assisted. Listens attentively, nice people, the search is certainly going to be successful...👌👌👌…

Als expat die zijn weg zoekt op de Amsterdamse huurmarkt, kan ik Irene van harte aanbevelen. Ze was ontzettend behulpzaam gedurende het hele proces – van de eerste bezichtiging tot het tekenen van het huurcontract – altijd bereikbaar, duidelijk en oprecht betrokken bij het vinden van de juiste woning voor ons. Ze begreep de specifieke uitdagingen waar expats mee te maken krijgen en maakte van wat een stressvol proces kan zijn, een behapbaar proces. Als je op zoek bent naar een makelaar die echt een stapje extra zet, dan is Irene de juiste persoon om te bellen.

Irene van People On The Move was absoluut fantastisch om mee samen te werken tijdens mijn verhuizing van de Verenigde Staten naar Amsterdam. Van begin tot eind bood ze uitstekende ondersteuning gedurende het hele verhuisproces. Wat me het meest imponeerde, was haar vermogen om me te helpen bij het vinden van een woning nog voordat ik in Amsterdam aankwam – wat geen gemakkelijke opgave is in de huidige competitieve huurmarkt. Haar lokale expertise, snelle reacties en oog voor detail zorgden ervoor dat wat een stressvolle internationale verhuizing had kunnen zijn, volledig beheersbaar aanvoelde. Irene deed er alles aan om ervoor te zorgen dat alles goed geregeld was, beantwoordde al mijn vragen en begeleidde me stap voor stap door het Nederlandse woningproces. Haar professionaliteit en toewijding maakten echt het verschil. Ik zou People On The Move van harte aanbevelen aan iedereen die naar Amsterdam verhuist, vooral bij internationale verhuizingen. Irene's expertise is van onschatbare waarde en hun service is van topniveau. Bedankt, Irene, dat je mijn overgang naar Amsterdam zo soepel hebt laten verlopen!

I moved to the Netherlands at the beginning of September and by the end of September Irene Timmerman had helped me find a rental apartment. Irene was very helpful throughout the entire process. She informed me of all the steps I needed to take to find a home. When we found an apartment that I liked, Irene largely coordinated between me and the landlord and helped me understand specific documents. This was very helpful for me, as I do not speak Dutch. And Irene continued to help me, even after my rental contract was signed. She kept answering my questions about utilities, registering the apartment and insurance. She also advised me when I had a disagreement with the landlord. I am very glad that I engaged People On The Move Expat Brokers, and specifically Irene Timmerman, to help me find a rental apartment.

Ik wil People On The Move, en in het bijzonder Irene, ontzettend bedanken voor haar enorme hulp bij het vinden en huren van een appartement in Amsterdam. Na een bizarre reeks gebeurtenissen en toevalligheden ontmoetten we Irene in een lastige situatie, toen we niet in ons eerste appartement konden trekken. Irene schoot ons te hulp :) en bracht ons vrijwel direct in contact met een andere eigenaar en een prachtig appartement waar we nu wonen. Deze keer verliep alles super soepel en binnen een week konden we verhuizen naar ons nieuwe huis, waar we nu al heel blij mee zijn! Dankjewel, Irene, voor je hulp en het leggen van de puzzelstukjes – je hebt ons echt gered!!! We stellen het enorm op prijs!! :)

I can wholeheartedly recommend People On The Move Expat Brokers. They truly live up to their name by putting people first. The personal service from Irene was exceptional. Although we ultimately decided not to rent the apartment they offered due to limitations, Irene did everything she could to advise us with her knowledge of housing legislation and the Amsterdam housing market. Thanks to her better insight into the market, we were able to find an apartment for our daughter.

A real recommendation! Helped me find a place to live in Amsterdam very quickly.

Moving as an expat to the Netherlands can be overwhelming, especially when looking for a home in such a competitive housing market. Fortunately, we had the incredible support of Irene. She helped us find a rental property in Uithoorn when it seemed almost impossible to succeed. Her dedication, experience and personal approach made all the difference. Two years later she jumped in again - this time she helped us negotiate directly with the landlord about the purchase of the house, without the stressful bidding wars that are so common on the Dutch market. She didn't stop there. She introduced us to a very professional mortgage advisor, an excellent appraiser and a skilled contractor for our renovation needs. Thanks to her network and expertise, the entire process - from renting and buying to renovating - went smoothly and stress-free. We are extremely grateful for her excellent support and wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone, especially expats looking for a reliable and involved real estate agent in the Netherlands!

I was looking for a new home and despite the current tight housing market in Amsterdam, we found a fantastic home thanks to Irene and Andries. I had a few questions about the rental agreement and those were quickly answered. Everything went professionally and I am very satisfied with the services of People on the Move.

Uitstekende service! Irene was professioneel, volledig op de hoogte van alles, snel en betrouwbaar gedurende het hele proces. Het huis en alle andere regelingen waren zeer snel geregeld. Zeer aan te bevelen.

Very satisfied with People On The Move Expat Brokers. Irene is professional, knowledgeable and very flexible. She was available during evenings and weekends, which allowed us to reach a transaction quickly. Thank you for your good service Irene!

Very pleased with People On The Move Expat Brokers. Irene helped me well with finding a house. Searching for a house in Amsterdam is not easy but here the right help was offered. Ultimately, we were able to find a nice house in a pleasant neighborhood.

Very positive experience with people on the move. Irene helped us with the purchase of an apartment. Knowledgeable advice, easily accessible, positive, thinks along well, flexible and dedicated. In addition, a lot of patience and humour as well. In short, very happy with them!

Irene en haar team waren fantastisch gedurende het hele verhuurproces. Haar persoonlijke toewijding en inzet om de ideale huurders voor ons geliefde familiehuis te vinden waren werkelijk indrukwekkend. Ze had oog voor elk detail van het project en zorgde ervoor dat alles soepel verliep. We bevelen Irene van harte aan aan iedereen die waarde hecht aan een persoonlijke aanpak, grondige screening van huurders en oplossingen op maat. Bedankt, Irene – de samenwerking met People on the Move was een waar genoegen!

Excellent service!

Van begin tot eind hebben we een fantastische ervaring gehad met Irene van People On The Move. Irene werd ons aanbevolen door een andere zeer tevreden klant en ik ben blij te kunnen zeggen dat we haar nu ook van harte kunnen aanbevelen. Ze is zowel vriendelijk als professioneel en we zijn zeer tevreden over de kwaliteit en efficiëntie van de dienstverlening.

We hebben onlangs People on the Move ingeschakeld voor zowel de verkoop van ons huis als het vinden van een nieuwe woning. Irene en Andries Timmermans vormen een fantastisch team; ze werken onvermoeibaar om de beste deal en het huis van je dromen voor je te vinden. Ik beveel ze van harte aan voor kopen, verkopen of huren - ze zijn de BESTE! Een dikke 10!

We live in Germany and sold our holiday home in North Holland through Irene and her team. The contact with Irene was throughout the entire process very personal and professional. We were impressed by Irene's expertise and eye for detail in drafting the advertisement. There was only a week between the publication of the advertisement and contacting the final buyer. Irene and her team organized the entire sales process up to the handover of keys, which meant that we – except for the first conversation – did not even have to come from Germany to North Holland. All documents and contracts were processed digitally; telephone contact to adjust details was possible at any time. In the end, it turned out that the valuation of the property and market knowledge were completely correct. All in all, we had a very good experience with Irene and her team and can recommend the cooperation without reservations. Irene, Andries: heartfelt thanks! You did a fantastic job!

Ik heb een zeer goede ervaring gehad met Irene en haar team. Ze waren professioneel, efficiënt en vonden in een mum van tijd een geweldige huurder. Het proces verliep soepel, stressvrij en werd vakkundig afgehandeld. Een echte aanrader!

Een appartement vinden in Amsterdam is geen gemakkelijke opgave. Irene en haar team hebben hier uitstekend werk verricht en na 2 weken was het appartement goedgekeurd. Ik beveel ze van harte aan!

Stefan is een professionele makelaar met veel kennis van de (lokale) markt. Leidde geĩnteresseerde mensen goed rond en bracht duidelijk de mogelijkheden met ons huis naar voren. Onderhandelen doet hij ook goed en snel dus we zijn zeer tevreden over zijn service.

Het contact met Stefan de Vries verliep uitstekend. Mijn vragen werden snel en goed beantwoord. Ik heb echt het idee dat Stefan het maximaal haalbare verkoopbedrag eruit heeft gesleept en ben hem daar zeer dankbaar voor. Ik zou deze makelaar van harte aanbevelen en ga ook bij mijn volgende verkoop weer met hem in gesprek.

De communicatie was duidelijk en we hebben snel kunnen schakelen. Stefan is professioneel en geeft ook zeker eerlijk advies. Dat was voor ons heel waardevol!

Wij hebben een zeer negatieve en zeer frustrerende ervaring gehad met Stefan de Vries Makelaars. Wat wij vorige week met Stefan hebben mee gemaakt sloeg werkelijk alles. Dit was geen misverstand of pech, maar een opeenstapeling van loze beloftes, teruggedraaide afspraken en nul verantwoordelijkheid. We kregen een mondeling akkoord over de koop van een woning. Dat akkoord werd vervolgens bevestigd via voicemail, e-mail en WhatsApp. Voor ons was de deal rond. In goed vertrouwen hebben wij direct onze personalia en paspoorten aangeleverd wat nodig was voor het koopcontract, zodat die kon worden opgesteld. We dachten dat we eindelijk zekerheid hadden. Kort daarna bleek dat de woning helemaal niet van de markt was gehaald, terwijl dat wel de afspraak was. Andere geïnteresseerden konden dus gewoon blijven bieden, en dat was ook gebeurd. Er lag ander halve dag later een hoger bod. Volgens de makelaar en verkopers ging het om “man tot man, woord tot woord”, maar dat bleek complete onzin. Dat zogenaamde woord verdween direct zodra er ergens een hoger bod opdook. We moesten het hogere bod maar matchen om de woning alsnog te krijgen. Dat hebben wij gedaan, met de duidelijke mededeling dat wij direct wilden tekenen om dit niet nog een keer mee te maken. Dat kon niet, omdat er volgens de makelaar geen capaciteit was om de koopakte op dat moment op te stellen. We kregen opnieuw de belofte dat er niet nog eens zo’n situatie zou ontstaan en dat we hem nu echt op zijn woord konden vertrouwen. Achteraf gezien was dat wederom een loze belofte. De ochtend erna werden we weer gebeld: de deal ging toch wéér niet door, omdat de andere bieders hun bod opnieuw hadden verhoogd. Opnieuw werd het mondelinge akkoord genegeerd, opnieuw werd het woord teruggenomen. Blijkbaar betekent een akkoord bij deze makelaar helemaal niets. Hij verschool zich vervolgens achter de “juridische regels” en de wensen van zijn opdrachtgevers, terwijl hij zich ondertussen voordoet als een ethisch en correct persoon. Onze ervaring laat het tegenovergestelde zien. In de tussentijd hadden wij, in goed vertrouwen, al kosten gemaakt voor een taxateur. De reactie van Stefan: “daar ga ik niks mee doen.” Geen begrip, geen excuses, geen enkele vorm van verantwoordelijkheid. Dat zegt eigenlijk alles over de manier van werken. Twee keer een mondeling akkoord dat zonder blikken of blozen werd teruggedraaid, telkens nieuwe eisen, en nul verantwoordelijkheid voor de gevolgen. Dit voelt als een onbetrouwbare, respectloze en uiterst onprofessionele manier van werken. Mijn advies aan andere kopers: vertrouw deze makelaar niet en doe geen zaken met hem!!

We had a very negative experience with Stefan de Vries Real Estate. This is the least ethically responsible real estate agent I have ever encountered! On Monday evening, we had an oral agreement on the purchase of a property. This was confirmed via voicemail, e-mail and WhatsApp. We immediately provided all the necessary data so that the purchase agreement could be drawn up. On Wednesday morning, however, we were told that the property had not been taken off the market, which was supposed to be the agreement. As a result, other interested parties could still make offers, and that had happened. There was now a higher bid. According to the real estate agent and sellers, they found “man to man, word to word” and found this a nuisance situation, but we had to match the higher bid in order to get the property after all. 'Man to man, word to word' was therefore quickly thrown overboard. We did that, with the message that we wanted to sign immediately. That could not be done, because according to the real estate agent there was no capacity to draw up the purchase agreement at that moment. We were assured that there would not be another such situation and that we could now really trust him on his word. A day later, we were called again: the deal would not go through anyway, because the other bidders had raised their bid again. Again, the oral agreement was therefore ignored. The real estate agent hid behind the “legal rules” and the wishes of his clients, while he at the same time presented himself as a very ethical and properly acting person. This is therefore totally not the case. In conclusion: because we had agreed immediately and acted quickly, we had already incurred costs for an appraiser. Stefan's quote: 'I won't do anything with that'. My experience: two times an oral agreement that was reversed, each time with new requirements. That feels like a very unreliable way of working. My advice to other buyers: do not trust this real estate agent and do no business with him.

Stefan is not only a real estate agent, but also an expert in construction. I found it appealing that he did not immediately state how it should be done upon first contact, but first inspected the entire house, compared it with other houses on the street, and then more or less thinking aloud came up with a plan of action.

Stefan is a real estate agent who knows what's going on in the market, thinks along and is also very friendly.

The communication can be better. If there has been a viewing, it's nice if you are kept informed. And not much later the same day, or the next day.

No nonsense, just good and clear. Furthermore, very friendly, helpful and reliable. The office and secretary are also good.

Stefan ensures perfect communication, good guidance and for us a great negotiation result.

Stefan is a particularly professional and nice real estate agent. He personally guided us through the sale of our house and we are very satisfied with his services, always available and responds quickly and competently.

Completely top, I can say nothing else. The house was estimated at exactly the right value, well described in the advertisement and shown with a lot of enthusiasm during viewings. Also everything around the sale, such as appointments, communication about viewings and willingness to help went perfectly.

Super happy with our sales agent, Stefan de Vries! From the first conversation we immediately had a good feeling. Everything went smoothly, clearly and personally. Stefan took his time, thought well with us and kept us nicely informed. The team at the office is also friendly, expert and always available for questions. We felt really well supported and the result was there! A nice office with people who know what they're doing, definitely a recommendation!

An open and transparent way of doing business and accompanying the entire process. Taking good account of my wishes. Social. Friendly. In short, someone who inspires trust.

With a lot of enthusiasm and expertise, Stefan de Vries sold our house for us. The communication with him and his team was very easy.

The collaboration with Mr. de Vries was very pleasant, with plenty of clarity and good communication. Also proactively searched to find a suitable home for me. He helped think about many things to fulfill my wishes. I find Mr. de Vries very skilled, very friendly and flexible in his dealings. A pleasant person to do business with. I would therefore recommend him for the purchase or sale of a new home. Incidentally, Ilse, his assistant, is also a fi...

He's serious. No bla bla. He has had many viewings where he was almost always present and gave good advice.

Stefan combines his knowledge of the housing market in a customer-friendly way with pleasant guidance, keeping you informed about the progress of the sale through various channels. By using different media, he was able to achieve a good price for our house. Without much fuss and a businesslike approach, Stefan is a real estate agent who is definitely recommended.

Very satisfied and helped with complete honesty, as far as we can see. We would definitely recommend Stefan to future (sales) agents/brokers!

Very nice real estate agent. Easy and quick to reach and expert in his work. He can give good advice when buying a house!

Very well assisted, thank you. Assisted with sales and the right seller found and handled as it should be.

Marc helped us with the purchase of our new house and the sale of our 'old' house. He is a very skilled real estate agent with a lot of expertise. No fluff or vague stories but clear language that as a client you REALLY benefit from!

Nice realtor, straightforward, quick result.

After our offer on a house was accepted, the house was sold informally to someone else who didn't even participate in the bidding process. We feel cheated and are absolutely not happy with this unprofessional way of working. We advise everyone not to do business with this party.

Dear reader, Very expert and professional advice, therefore recommended for both the sale, purchase and valuation of your home. Kind regards, Yvo

The real estate agent guided me very well from beginning to end and was available at any time of the day (and on weekends). Everything proceeded in a pleasant atmosphere. Michael is a solid and reliable man to work with. I am very happy with the entire process and the final completion.
