Van der Duim Makelaardij

Chris van der Duim was found as the real estate agent during the purchase of the property. A real estate agent who certainly has a passion for his profession. After completing the purchase, he managed to get our house on the market due to the good impression he had left. That's when the trouble really started. Extremely slow in starting the sales process. Weeks had to wait before the property appeared on Funda and when it finally did appear, the entire presentation was not complete. No floor plan, no 3D, no video and the text was open for improvement. A house in the higher price range (and certainly the other houses) should not be economized on to present it. Chris seems only interested in making a lot of money and cutting costs. After some comments about it, he came himself to measure the property because yes, that saves him costs, otherwise he has to pay for it to the company Zibber. Ultimately, the first week is very busy with viewings but many people drop out. These could not be properly informed beforehand about the situation and therefore had to come and see for themselves. Hardly any feedback from Chris about the visits. Then there are even more viewings that we were not informed about and which came as a complete surprise. The communication between Chris, Linda (Chris's employee) and us is anything but good and trust began to diminish. Requests that take little time to respond to are not adequately addressed. Soon the excuse “busy” is brought up while they only have a few houses for sale, this cannot be true. Chris is also not fully present due to issues in his private life. Things are mixed up and he also gave visitors a false picture of things. After a few warm-up attempts in the style of if they have sold their own house then they will buy yours and if it is still for sale in 3 months then I will buy it through you, doubt increased even more. Ultimately, he calls me with the message that the property has been sold and that there is only a small issue with the municipality but which is no problem at all. Financing not a problem at all, no, they are paying it almost entirely from their own funds. Well, I wasn’t surprised when a call came 4 days later that they couldn’t resolve both the financing and the issue with the municipality. That was the drop with this real estate agent who has told too many untruths to us and to visitors. Even one visitor who just came directly because the realtor himself didn't hear from him to schedule a viewing…. For us in any case NEVER Chris van der Duim Realty and I also advise everyone not to enter into an agreement with him without the agreement that you can cancel free of charge. The man is good at acquiring new customers, which he did with the person who saw our house and it even seems that his goal is to acquire new customers through the properties that are priced higher in the market. Also many hidden defects found in the purchased property of which Chris must have been aware, after all, the whole neighborhood knew what happened in 2024. Dear Chris, we are not lead generators but clients who want to sell a house without you having other interests besides. Good luck with your business and learn from your mistakes and above all, admit them instead of just blaming other circumstances.

Chris is thoughtful and empathetic. He's a top performer!

We were very well assisted by Chris and Linda. Chris clearly explained to us how everything works and what we had to arrange in advance. He immediately gave us the confidence that the sale of our house was in good hands. Linda took care of the viewings and kept us informed about how things were going. She was friendly, involved and helpful, and even thought along with practical tips for the move. In short: a pleasant team that knows what they are doing and really cares about you…

Great realtor! Goes the extra mile for you and keeps his appointments! Reliable-transparent professional and friendly! We can definitely recommend him. Our house sold in 3 days! Thanks Chris and team van der Duijm! Greetings Hans and Mirjam

great knowledge of affairs, quick to switch gears, reliable, always in contact about progress, flexible and thoughtful.

Pleasant people to work with, very accessible and always clear communication. A real recommendation

We found the entire process super nice and as effortless as possible, Linda is truly a top performer, thanks again!

Good feeling about this realtor, they are expert, know what's going on, open and honest, and think along with people in purchase and sale

The agent is realistic, comes with a market-conform price and provides fantastic guidance. Hats off!

Clear agreements and extensive feedback after each viewing. Quickly switches if needed and thinks along.

Best realtor in the Netherlands, other realtors should take an example from him!!! In short, the Dutch Josh Altman 👍 Thanks for everything Chris van der Duim

We had Linda van Dijk, she is a driven person, open, honest but above all driven in what she does. Van der Duim has gained a great asset to his company with her. I have worked very pleasantly with Linda for a short time because she sold it under good satisfactory conditions. Professional and pleasant real estate agency. Rob Dirks

Good contact with the real estate agent, Any questions and had were answered quickly. If you want to sell your house, I definitely recommend Chris van de Duim!! Kind regards Angelique

Good contact. Nice realtor! Really takes a few extra steps. You secretly hope for this, but we didn't dare to expect it to this extent beforehand. This ultimately leads to a good sale and buyers who are very satisfied with the course of the process. A strong recommendation!

Chris came by for an appraisal without obligation. After a pleasant and informal conversation, we decided to work together. The service of van der Duim distinguishes itself in availability and flexibility. Where the normal real estate agent keeps their hand open between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM until the money falls in, Chris tries to get the maximum possible out for his clients. Not only by promoting the house well but also through accessibility, flexibility and reasonableness. The build-up…

Very nice realtor, Mr. van der Duim has a lot of experience and takes all the worries out of your hands. Always good contact with him and the office.

Chris is one in a thousand, a very professional realtor. Involved and thoughtful, this is my second property that I sell through him and in both cases it was excellently arranged. Highly recommended

Contact proceeded smoothly. Very accurate and attentive to detail (for example, when taking the photos). Appointments are well kept and I haven’t really had to worry about the entire sales process.

That you are taken care of. Chris takes it all on himself and ensures that things are arranged, and coordinating with his team also goes smoothly.

My apartment was quickly sold for a good price through van der Duim real estate agency, and I received excellent guidance throughout the sales process. I found the approach to the sales process and brainstorming regarding preferences and solutions to be very positive.

The contact was great! All appointments were kept. We recommend Van der Duim as a real estate agent. Attention to detail and handled with the utmost care!

Sometimes a slightly faster response is needed, otherwise superhero guided by Linda and Chris v d duim real estate.

Very satisfied with the entire sales process! A big 10 for Cris van der Duim. From taking the photos to guiding the viewings and discussing the bids. Van der Duim knows the market well.

Good contact everything went well very satisfied clear and sold very quickly nothing to complain about good communication superb

Contact with the real estate agent went smoothly, he let me know in time if anything was happening. I had normal expectations and they were more than fulfilled.

Very pleasant contact and clear explanation. I experienced the entire process as very pleasant. Chris and Linda promptly informed me if anything needed to be done. Good communication when viewings were scheduled and what the reactions of the viewers were. Clear advice and no nonsense. A nice, trustworthy party to entrust with the sale of your home.

Nice, honest and reliable realtor

A bad experience with realtor Linda. We later learned that the communication was not transparent and we think this is the reason our offer on a house was not accepted. We will not buy or sell a house through this realtor.

Everything was good and we would like to work with you. Provide more information about our products for charity.

Contact with the real estate agent was very good. They kept us very well informed and the speed at which the house was sold was perfect for us since we had already purchased another house.

Selling a difficult property turned out to be challenging, but ultimately achieved the desired result. The kitchen was missing, a conscious choice to leave this to the new resident. Unfortunately, many people cannot look past this.

Van Der Duim Real Estate, which with its team provides you with good guidance throughout the entire process of buying or selling a house. I am very satisfied with the services of this real estate agent and would definitely recommend him to others.

Not clear and does not answer emails after we had made an offer on a house.

The collaboration with Chris from drr Uim went well. Chris and his team are expert and their communication is pleasant.

Not the cheapest on the market, but with a clear plan and vision of how to best sell the property. The entire house is reviewed and it's indicated what needs to be removed to clearly show the potential of the home. Apart from the knowledge, very nice people to work with.

Good contact with the real estate agent, everything was taken care of for us, very quick sale with a very good selling price.

Correct contact when needed. Expert. Able to act quickly upon request. Comes across as very familiar.

Contact with the real estate agent was very good, short lines of communication, and they were well advised and guided throughout the entire sales process. I can definitely recommend this real estate agent.

Very good and personal contact. He and his colleague skillfully, with tact and realism, guided the sale from A to Z.

We are very satisfied! Friendly, clear realtor and good (office) support. They do what they say and promise. We definitely recommend this realtor.

Everything went well. People were thinking along and I was kept well informed. Appointments were honoured.

Good advice and good guidance from start to finish of the sales process. Perfectly helped!!!

It all went very quickly, but we could go to them with all our questions. They helped us where we needed it.

We engaged Van der Duim real estate for the sale of our house. What a great team! Very knowledgeable, they know what's happening in the market and have a good understanding of all aspects of the profession. Professional, expert and also attentive to us during a rather exciting time in your life, selling your home and buying a new one. They really took care of everything for us. 24 hours a day we could reach them with any questions. A top team! Chris and Linda, we appreciate you z…

We are very satisfied, especially considering the complexity of the sale. We live in Spain after all, and everything had to be arranged remotely and with trust. The contact was very good, and our input was appreciated. In short, hats off!

Chris and Linda are true professionals. Very good experience with this real estate agency. They helped me neatly and guided everything to the last detail. Definitely recommended!

I am very happy with the real estate agent! He is very knowledgeable and fast, good communication and advice. The purchase went around so smoothly!

My house was under offer within two working days and of course sold with good conditions subject to approval. During my sales process, I have always been well guided. Jan

Nice realtor who always thinks along with you!

Chris has helped us tremendously with the purchase and sale of our house. He has a lot of knowledge of the market and is very professional. Thanks again, Team Van der Duim Real Estate.

Fantastic realtor, takes all the time for you and is very involved. Knows the market well and is extremely professional.

Fantastic experience with Chris van der Duim. He is involved, has market knowledge, takes all the time for the viewings. Even if these run out. Involved from A to Z in the sale of your house. This resulted in our house being sold within a few weeks. A top performer...💪…

Knowledge of the market, good communication from both the real estate agent and the support staff at the office, attention and care for both clients and potential buyers. Very nice to have 'collaborated' in the sale of our home!

Know the market, understand your client and sell the property! What more do you want from a real estate agent?

Professional and keeps his appointments very well. Lots of advice and easily accessible. In short, super good experiences with him.
