Very nice man! He helped me really well and never complained. Prices that are fair for mediation. When I left the property we unfortunately got another mediator, real fraudsters trying to hold everything back. Then you notice what you had with this mediator. Personal and good. Bennie, I want to thank you for the service you provided. So people, are you looking for a mediator or properties, this is the man!

Mr. had us evicted from our house after we repeatedly complained that our shower doors were falling off. Apparently, you're not supposed to complain about that AND you can then be threatened at your own door by this filthy guy! 5 months and a lawyer later, I finally got the deposit back which was mysteriously not paid out. No good words for this nasty guy!!

Unfortunately, a bad experience with Hoekstra property management. When they can collect money and preferably as much as possible, there are no problems. However, when something is requested, such as maintenance, they are unavailable and everything goes very slowly. Moving from one apartment to another due to health issues, they simply do everything again and cheerfully ask for 50 euros more per month, which was not known or indicated in advance. We called about this, and the response was 'Sir, the only thing we can say is sorry we forgot to mention it, but you still have to pay.' Also, everything has to be filled out again while all the data is already known; what kind of company is that? Just a different house number, and the rest remains unchanged, you would think. We, as children, feel that they are taking advantage of the situation; they have lived there for two years, and it's nothing but no to everything they hear. It worries our parents a lot. A shame, but unfortunately, we hope as children that they can still live in Menaam with pleasure for a few more years, and we’ll do the odd jobs ourselves, Hoekstra, because you don’t do anything or very little to the apartments and don't want to make improvements to the very dated apartments.

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT (!) rent (!) a house or apartment through Hoekstra Makelaardij! The other reviews here speak for themselves, but we would like to add something to prevent others from making the mistake of doing business with these people. It was the worst experience we've ever had renting a home. We have been living in a new build apartment complex in Groningen for two years and it has been nothing but problems from start to finish. Hoekstra made no noticeable effort to reduce the (ongoing) problems, nor did they apologize for anything. A short summary: * Communication with Hoekstra is downright terrible. You have to check and arrange a lot yourself. If you ask for it, they answer irritably. There's always an excuse, but never an apology. Some employees even went so far as to tell us that we were the problem, not them. Completely disrespectful people... * Maintenance and repairs take forever. They usually say this is due to the contractors, but most of the time it’s just them, with poor communication and execution, resulting in annoying and sometimes dangerous situations. For example: When we first moved in, there was a visible damp spot around one of the outlets in the ceiling. This was reported immediately because it indicated that there was a leak somewhere. It took them no less than 9+(!) months to fix the problem. We literally had water streaming from the ceiling during a rain shower, only then was it resolved. * It took Hoekstra more than 1.5 years to provide the tenants of the new complex with a detailed description of service charges. The service charges were due in June 2024 and were finally presented in December 2024. There was always an excuse, but never a conclusive answer as to why it takes so long for them to come up with something relatively simple. * Callback appointments where they offer to call you back with information they don’t have at that moment are usually not kept. You have to call them again and again. When confronted with this, they basically blame you, because they may have called and you simply missed it (?!?) or you just need to be patient. * Basic amenities for public spaces (cleaning, garden maintenance etc.) are very irregular and sometimes simply not carried out, resulting in overgrown vegetation and a build-up of dirty common areas. * Parking is an absolute nightmare. There isn't enough parking space for all tenants in the complex, causing people to park their cars randomly outside the designated areas. Although Hoekstra cannot directly control and intervene, they have also made minimal efforts to prevent this. They could easily come up with solutions (many tenants have suggestions or ideas), but insist that it is up to the tenants themselves to solve it. The above is just a fraction of the problems we (and many other tenants) have encountered in the two years that we have been renting through Hoekstra. The whole situation is, to put it mildly, frustrating and stressful. You are better off elsewhere. So do yourself a favor and DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HOEKSTRA!!

I have been seriously working for 1 year and 3 months to get Hoekstra to fix several maintenance problems in my apartment in Leeuwarden. In the meantime, I have involved the Rental Committee for a solution with compensation. I have sent many emails and made phone calls but I receive hardly any feedback. And the only two times I receive an answer in that 1.3 year period is that I am referred to the VVE administrator, who does not deal with this anyway, and that my address would not be in their system. Thanks to Hoekstra, the unresolved leak has worsened and mold has now developed on the ceiling that crumbles daily, as well as a leak from the pipe in my storage room. A company that is super bad and worthless in communication and complaints are not taken seriously, let alone processed.

Terrible company, NEVER rent from Hoekstra! We were forced to move last month because we had to live for a year in an apartment full of black mold. For a year we tried to get in touch with Hoekstra for a solution but you are completely ignored. It was even so bad that we had to throw away our sofa, curtains, and mattress because it leaked everywhere. You can only speak to them when you don't pay your rent, but of course not about the problem. We were forced to move due to health problems that arose from black mold in the apartment we rented from Hoekstra. Do yourself a favor and never rent from this company because they treat you inhumanely.

What an awful society Hoekstra, imagine a whole month of VVE while the transfer is mid-month. They have building insurance and will not cover the new door lock. Poor service; only after 3 months will the sewage system be repaired, causing me to be quite ill. They don't want to get involved in a confrontation with the VVE board at Akkersplein. Block heating won't be turned on until February and not during the sale transfer. But they also have a very bad reputation for their service……😡😡😡😡😡😡

After I moved from Leeuwarden to Limburg, we were able to rent a nice home through Hoekstra Vastgoedbeheer. Due to private circumstances, we returned to the North. We received good assistance from Hoekstra Vastgoedbeheer and were able to find a place / house to rent. All in all, Hoekstra Vastgoedbeheer showed their best side.

If you want to rent an apartment in Eindhoven from Hoekstra, I would like to ask you to think about this again. I have been renting for over 7 years and the service regarding maintenance is below par. You almost never get into contact with them and if you do manage to make contact, you are not taken seriously. We had significant water damage in the storage room during the winter of 2023/2024 which was not resolved, causing the water level to rise and damaging many belongings that would not have happened if they had fixed it on time, which they didn't want to. I could describe a whole host of other situations like this. Conclusion: don't rent from them.

Very nice realtor (rental), maintenance and service are perfectly fine. They respond quickly and friendly to you, both by email and telephone. Do they think along with you in conflict situations? And are willing to help. When you are looking for a reliable realtor, I would rent through Hoekstra!

Terrible property manager. We live in a building managed by Hoekstra in Sneek, where gas and electricity are paid via an advance payment to Hoekstra. Hoekstra promises and is legally obliged to settle accounts every year, but has not done so for years. Moreover, Hoekstra has received various energy compensations from the government (at 2000 euros per apartment). In addition, we have overpaid the advance payments. In July 2023, Hoekstra promised to settle accounts (which was already late), but failed to do so despite much communication. Meanwhile, it is also legally overdue for the past period and there has been no settlement for 2 and a half years. As icing on the cake, Hoekstra sold our apartment to another manager in November 2023. Since then, there has been hardly any communication. Hoekstra refuses to share information about finances and settlements with the new manager, which means nothing can be settled. Meanwhile, she has pocketed all the overpaid advance payments and compensations. They were legally obliged and promised to do this by no later than July 1, 2024, but have since gone silent. There has been a lot of emailing with Erwin from the financial administration, but he does not keep appointments. He promises in emails to follow up, then doesn't respond, then someone is sick again, and then it’s too busy again. Note that this has been going on since last July (!). Meanwhile, the latest email reads 'Unfortunately, we will not be able to help you further this week. My colleague is sick this week. We will try again next week.', dated May 23, 2024. I have not heard from him since then. We tenants have offered to help. For example, we sent Excel sheets with consumption data, offered to help sort things out at the office, and made sufficient suggestions. Hoekstra refuses all communication and does not share cost overviews etc.. It all leads to nothing but a lot of frustration. Meanwhile, all hope is lost that we will get our money back. It seems like a mess on the financial management department. What a terrible organization, treating tenants and a professional buyer like this. There's probably no deliberate intent, but Hoekstra has let our money disappear into their own pocket and now refuses us any form of help. What is particularly astonishing is that network operator Liander indicates that there has been no energy contract for the building since March 2023 and that a case is pending with a bailiff. Hoekstra seems to have neglected this as well. Possibly she doesn't want to settle accounts because even they don’t have insight into the costs incurred, which are now possibly being charged at the highest rate. Here's a warning not to entrust your property management to Hoekstra!!! And consider as a potential tenant whether you want to rent a house through this party. Unfortunately, we are paying a high price for this warning. We will continue until Hoekstra fulfills its promises. Our details are known to Hoekstra. If there are more tenants or parties who have been defrauded, I would like to hear from them.

Two days in a row having to call multiple times just to get in contact with the right person, and then finally getting through only to be treated completely unsympathetically. No understanding for the situation of the potential buyer, no communication skills, no respect nor understanding for promises that had already been made to us by colleagues. Initially, we had pleasant conversations with several receptionists/colleagues/telephone operators (?) where it was indicated that they were very busy and the broker himself preferred to schedule appointments. Fine, I would be called back. Called multiple times, each time with the promise that I would be called back. During the 2nd call from myself, I already stated that otherwise I wanted the available time slot because it might otherwise have been given away and there would be no further opportunities for viewings. This wouldn't be a problem, and a moment for viewing that suited us better would definitely be possible. Finally, after a series of 6 calls over 2 days, we got through to the broker with whom the appointment could be made... Then there was not a single time slot available anymore (including the one I had already wanted to occupy), and the time slot that was still open 10 seconds before being connected (due to cancellation of an appointment) would also no longer be available... what poor service and (internal) communication! Also mentioned in the conversation that we have our (parents-in-law) view properties when we are unable to do so ourselves, since we don't live nearby and houses sell very quickly now. No broker made a problem of it, but the gentleman I spoke with had absolutely no understanding > ''we won’t be doing that, you need to make the decision''. Well, we can perfectly well decide based on the assessment of our (parents-in-law) who need to indicate whether the house is technically in order, what defects there are, whether the price is fair, etc. (we have already done this before, and they have a lot of experience with it). And besides that, we should be allowed to decide ourselves, I would say. He supposedly would call us back, but given the communication skills and that this has previously failed, we don’t believe that much anymore. A very unpleasant aftertaste remains, unfortunately. The little house seemed lovely, but apart from the market already being challenging at the moment, this broker managed to make it even worse.

If I could have given 0 stars, I would have. What worthless, unprofessional and grumpy employees this company has. Absolutely no effort is made for a customer (who incidentally brings your money in) and customers are treated with an arrogance that I have never seen before. Please, if you're in doubt: don't do business with this company!!!! You’ll be going from bad to worse.

Since August, the barrier has been broken for resident parking, which is managed by Hoekstra, meaning the parking space is now used for a day trip or carpool. As a result, we, those who live here, no longer have a place to park ourselves. We have called Hoekstra multiple times, but they are pushing it off as a long delivery time.

Residing in an apartment complex in Leeuwarden where Hoekstra manages the grounds, as well as the VVE (Homeowners Association). Since mid-August, the barrier has been broken and that is still the case. Waiting for a new barrier for 7 MONTHS already. Everyone parks their car here who doesn't live here. Parking is therefore chaotic. Hoekstra says there is a long delivery time for a new barrier, but 7 months?! The residents here and I are more than fed up. Arrogance at its peak and hiding behind the monopoly position in real estate and brokerage.

Be careful if you buy a house from this Broker. We had a 'perfect house', everything would be arranged and maintained properly. Afterwards, more than 1/3 of the list of items turned out to be lies. Believe nothing they say, but do your own research. Unfortunately, we also had bad luck with the technical building inspection, which meant this didn't come to light earlier.
