Esther van Dijk Makelaardij

As an expat with limited knowledge of Dutch, I'm glad I chose Esther. She provides excellent service, has a lot of knowledge about Hoorn and the surrounding area, and is generally a very nice person! She can also recommend moving services, renovations, utility transfers, etc. If you're looking for a real estate agent in the Hoorn area, this is the right place, don't look any further.

Fast response back after initial contact ✅ Question and need excellently understood ✅ Interim update on the status ✅ Recently we have again made use of the services of Esther van Dijk as an Appraiser. This time for a new build property appraisal with some small challenges, which were absolutely no problem for her and she was happy to take care of for us! What great service again and very satisfied once more.

Esther acted as both our buyer's agent and sales broker. Esther guided us well from beginning to end of the process and completely took care of everything. Also, Esther is very accessible. Esther is a top broker with a good dose of humor!

Another glowing review for Esther. This top realtor not only helped us buy another house but also sold our 'old' house with great skill and integrity. Her advice was always honest and realistic, not the standard sales pitch but a pleasant individual approach. If you are looking for a realtor who prepares your house for sale and helps you honestly and realistically; call Esther quickly. She handled the sale of our house smoothly, 'even though we were a pair of worrywarts', with much calm and personal attention. Thank you for that. Greetings Marlies and Mirjam.

My partner (who is Dutch) and I recently bought a house together, and as an expat, I was extra grateful that Esther supported us throughout the entire process. She offered incredible personal support (rare these days!), and guided us step by step with clarity, patience, and warmth. Her communication was always fast and proactive, and she maintained constant contact to ensure we felt well-informed and comfortable. Esther took the time to explain everything thoroughly, which was especially helpful for me as someone not familiar with the Dutch housing system. I really felt well taken care of and supported from beginning to end. Esther's professionalism, empathy, and dedication made the whole process smoother. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, especially international buyers exploring the Dutch market for the first time.

I had a fantastic experience with Esther as my appraiser. She handled the entire process with impressive speed and efficiency, which made what could have been a stressful step flow smoothly and effortlessly. Her professionalism and clear communication gave me a lot of confidence throughout the whole process. I can wholeheartedly recommend Esther to anyone looking for a reliable and fast appraisal expert!

We certainly had an agreement. I felt treated unfairly several times, during the sales process and after termination of the agreement, during contact with you. The way you proceeded was far from the standards and values that you yourself said you stood for. Therefore, I absolutely have no desire for 'personal' contact with you. I would prefer to give you zero stars, but unfortunately, I must give you at least 1 star on Google.

You couldn't wish for a better personal broker! Esther immediately makes you feel at ease and thinks along with the plans and thoughts you have in your head! She is also very accessible for any questions or help needed. We are still incredibly happy with the choice of having Esther as our selling broker!!

We are extremely satisfied with Esther. She helped us well with the sale of our house and we experienced her commitment as very professional, personal and transparent.

Superrr....thank you for the quick mediation! And yes, another house bought...thanks to Esther, it was quickly sorted out again!

She is very involved and accurate. Very accessible and helpful. Responds quickly and at all times. She arranges everything down to the last detail.

Esther delivers on her promises and says what she means. A very pleasant and communicative real estate agent! How nice is it that a real estate agent thinks along with you and takes a lot off your hands when selling your house. With a very good feeling, we will soon hand over the house to the buyers.

Esther has excellently helped us with the purchase of the house! She is skilled, realistic and honest. Partly due to her vision and preparation, we purchased the house below the asking price in a market that moves quite quickly. She keeps you immediately informed about everything and is always accessible. Incidentally, this is the second home we have purchased with the help of Esther van Dijk Makelaardij. The fact that we choose Esther van Dijk for a second time says enough. We…

A good realtor didn't have to do anything; they took care of all the viewings and all administrative actions for you. They handled everything superbly, a very pleasant realtor.

Esther reacts quickly. Thanks to her expertise and advice, we were able to purchase our house with confidence.

Esther helped us with this house. She sent us a link with the text; maybe this is something for you. When we saw the photos, we immediately made an appointment. This happened to fall on the weekend when she was free. But indicated that if we wanted to view this house, she would go along. In the meantime, she had done so much preparatory work and researched what the possible market value of this house was. We actually quickly fell in love with this house and Esther made sure that w...

Esther is a super agent. She helped me in English with all the Dutch as an expat. She has a lot of knowledge of the area and a wealth of information to share. Using Esther as an agent is highly recommended as you will get more information and help than you expect. She is also very fast and communicated well. She also go the extra mile when submitting the bid and giving feedback. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a buying agent.

Esther has helped and guided us very well. She is expert, fast and listened carefully to our wishes. The sales process took longer than planned in our case, and she kept us well informed about it.

Esther has been a great support and sparring partner in the purchasing process! She has been very clear in coordination and letting us know what steps we need to take. I'm not a native Dutch speaker and she translated the majority of the information to English so I felt more confident in understanding the process and included. She combines her personal and warm attitude with being driven and business-focused. We're very grateful and happy we can also collaborate on selling the c…

We had already heard many good reports about Esther. She has fully lived up to the high expectations that arose as a result. Expert, efficient and involved. In addition, Esther is easily accessible and responds quickly and appropriately to questions. This has led to a quick and successful sale. We are more than satisfied!

Thank you Esther for the good guidance in our sales process.

Esther helped us with the purchase of a house in Zwaag (municipality of Hoorn). The communication was great, the service was generally excellent and what really helped us was the experience and knowledge that Esther has of her profession and of Hoorn. All in all, collaborating with Esther helped us with the exciting step of moving from Amsterdam to Zwaag. Thank you Esther!

Very satisfied with the professional approach to the sale of our house. Due to good communication, we were always kept informed about the progress regarding the sale. Esther's working method is so pleasant that we did not experience any stress during the entire sales process.

Esther was super professional and always reacted quickly; the communication flowed very smoothly and transparently, and she always knew when she was needed. She showed real interest in getting to know us in order to really understand how she can best help us and act in our interest. She explained everything to us, and very patiently too - from the real estate agents' strategies, bidding strategies and the atmosphere in different parts of the city to the structural survey and the notary's tasks. She gave lots of tips that were very useful for us as starters who have only been living in the Netherlands for a year. We are extremely satisfied with how everything went and can wholeheartedly recommend Esther to anyone who needs an expert and reliable partner in the search for a new home.

We can highly recommend Esther as a buying agent. She is very patient, supportive and knowledgeable, especially in the Hoorn market. We met Esther when she was a selling agent for the house we were interested in. Even though we were not working together back then she was very involved, concerned about our choices and gave us valuable advice which helped us avoid making mistake. Because of that we decided we want her to be our buying agent. She knows everything about Hoorn market, so…

Esther is highly recommended. She delves into everything, she's easily accessible, and she has a pleasant personality. No flattery, just agreeable to deal with.

Certainly recommended. Thanks to the good guidance of Esther, we managed to purchase a home in Zwaagdijk. She arranges everything involved until and including the key handover.

Esther managed to sell our parents' house to a lovely young couple in a very short time, who are going to make something beautiful of it and hopefully have as nice a home as our parents did for 45 years.

Esther has helped us with buying a house in Zwaag (municipality of Hoorn). The communication was great, the service overall was great and what helped us a lot was the experience and knowledge that Esther has of her profession and of Hoorn. Overall, working with Esther helped us with being able to take the exciting step to move from Amsterdam to Zwaag. Thanks Esther!

Esther really supported us fantastically during the always intense process of selling your house. She was there from A to Z. Always reachable via Whatsapp, helpful, expert, honest and genuinely involved. It was a pleasure to work with her. If you are considering Esther, you are truly in good hands.

I did nothing, Esther did everything. Really had a nice sales experience with her! Positive, expert, proactive. Great communication.

The sales process went smoothly from start to finish to our full satisfaction: good timing, clear communication to all parties involved, and complete support. Thank you Esther, it was very nice that we could do this together and much success with the Real Estate Agency!

Great realtor that I can recommend to everyone. A lot of knowledge and full service. We could really leave everything to the realtor. We give her a 10 out of 10.

The contact was very friendly and the expertise was also excellent! She helped us outstandingly from day ONE until the transfer at the notary's office.

Esther is a real estate agent who intuitively understands how to initiate the sales process. On one hand, she has an understanding of the wishes of the selling party and on the other hand, presents the necessary sales conditions in a correct manner to enable a smooth, market-conform sale. A very pleasant and efficient working method that led to the desired result: a quick sale with as little hassle as possible.

Esther was super professional and responsive at all times; the communication was really easy and transparent and she always knew when she was needed. She really showed an interest in getting to know us to really understand how she can best help and act in our interest. She explained everything to us, and very patiently so - from realtors’ strategies, bidding strategies, and the atmosphere of different parts of the city to technical inspection and the notary’s tasks. She had a l…

For the third time, I have used Esther's services. First for purchase and sale, and now again for the sale. The sales guidance was well arranged. Despite the fact that the market has been constantly changing lately, Esther gave good advice. Esther spent plenty of time to make as many viewings as possible, which also gave potential buyers sufficient opportunity. Subsequent property sold quickly and a good sales result achieved.

We were familiar with and by the broker, the working relationship exceeded our expectations, and the good quality of the submitted bids was convincing to accept the best bidder. The speed of the sales process went perfectly, no disappointment with the sale of our house.

We are very happy and satisfied with Esther. She understands you and helps you with everything you don't understand. Thanks to her expertise, our apartment was sold very quickly.

In our search for a house, after years of living as expats abroad, we came into contact with Esther as the real estate agent for the selling party of a house that we were interested in. Her professional approach and clear communication felt like a breath of fresh air. Her expertise, understanding of the housing market in West-Friesland and surrounding areas, and experience guiding expats proved very useful. This saved us a lot of stress during the busy period from viewings to the transfer of the house. We recommend Esther van Dijk Makelaardij to everyone! Esther, thank you again for everything!

Dealing openly and honestly is not the order of business with this real estate agent. Buying a house should be a celebration, but it isn't in this case.

Esther is involved and driven. Esther has a lot of marketing knowledge and applies it effectively when recruiting potential buyers. She has a good photographer, care was taken with the photoshoot. The photos are of professional quality and there is ample attention to decor and details during the shoot. Esther listens to the client and provides valuable advice where needed. She distinguishes herself as a small independent from the 'established order'. Her network is large enough to make that distinction. Highly recommended!

Esther, we want to thank you very much for your help and expertise. We were really amazed when we heard that our house had been sold (within the period of 2 weeks). Your smile and can-do attitude have left a really good impression on us. We will recommend you at all times to others.

Esther has been great from the first moment we got in touch. She has a lot of knowledge and was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. A real recommendation!

Esther is very skilled and always approachable. She removed all worries and uncertainties for us during the entire purchasing process. Absolutely recommended!

Esther has helped me enormously with the purchase of my home. The first property she sent was a perfect match. Quick contact, quick switching when needed, easily accessible, expert and always willing to give extra tips on details. I am super happy that I chose her as a purchasing agent, because she supported me well during this hectic period. Many thanks Esther !!!

Our buying and selling broker! Everything taken out of your hands and arranged to the last detail. Thanks Esther!

Very pleasant cooperation, my house was sold very quickly, and everything was handled neatly.

As expats and given the current situation in the housing market, we were quite stressed about the entire process... until we met Esther. She helped us enormously! Her knowledge of the area and what to look out for was invaluable. Always professional, friendly and kind. Every step was clearly explained to us, and ultimately we only had to view houses and choose the property that we liked best. If you are looking for a real estate agent, we absolutely recommend Esther van Dijk. 10/10

Esther was the realtor for the sale of my mother's house. My mother saw it as a mountain to climb. But what a good job Esther did representing her! So personal in approach, understanding and yet professional. Always easily accessible and every step prepared! Thanks to Esther, everything went smoothly. Once again our thanks Esther!

Top realtor! Helped me very well with the purchase of a house. No stress and I am very satisfied!

I have been unsuccessfully searching for a very specific and unique home for almost two years. I often found what I was looking for, but my offers were never successful. I met Esther at one of these properties in her capacity as a sales broker. Her approach, communication, and personal touch appealed to me, and I approached her as my purchasing agent. On our first attempt, we were successful in buying a property that fit even better than all the previous ones! Her communication, knowledge, negotiation skills, and network are excellent and made it a stress-free experience. I will definitely recommend her services!

Esther van Dijk is a top real estate agent. She maintains constant contact so you are always up-to-date on everything. She gives good advice and truly supports you. You can contact her at any time and she responds quickly. She does almost everything herself, except for the photos, which means you don't have to deal with multiple different people. I was very happy with Esther.

After I successfully purchased a home with Esther two years ago, her choice was quickly made now. Her personal approach and broad availability work really well. The sale of our homes in Purmerend and Hoorn was very well guided and every step was communicated neatly and clearly with us. A big 10 🥇 for Esther. And immediately another sales assignment for a house from family.

Our family is satisfied with the work that Esther van Dijk Makelaardij has done for us. We have received various consultations and advice from her. And now we are finally happy that we can move to our own house. Thank you, Esther

After searching for more than a year, we found a house. Thanks to Esther and a lot of patience, it was possible. Esther helped well and kept me grounded in this market. Because she does everything herself, she can also distribute her attention well among her various tasks. Accessibility is sometimes an issue, but she always ensures contact when necessary. All in all, I am very satisfied with her services. Youri Stroo

Highly skilled real estate agent where lines are short and engagement is high. Total support in both the purchase of the new house and the sale of our apartment. Provides clear advice and is also available outside office hours to make this unusual process as smooth and familiar as possible.

It's not every day that I sell a house and I was a little apprehensive because of my limited knowledge of the sales process and my limited Dutch. Esther's passion and enthusiasm, combined with her relaxed and friendly personality, and at the same time informative and extremely professional, made the sale smooth, stress-free, and successful.

I particularly appreciated the fast, direct communication, instead of through an office with a central telephone service! Complete package of knowledge of the region and experience, and Esther really helps you step by step through the entire process with expert advice, and that for a fixed price. Thank you, Esther!

We are enormously happy with Esther. Received very good guidance and she was always available for us. We quickly found our dream house. That was thanks to her good negotiating skills and that in this time. Everything that is on her website, she fully delivers on. You are not a number with her and the approach is extremely personal. Truly recommended!!!

I can recommend agent Esther van Dijk Makelaardij from Hoorn to everyone. Excellent communication! I was kept well informed and on time about everything. Always very quick responses to my questions. She encouraged me to make the house ready for sale in such a way that it could be marketed well. House sold quickly and at a good price. Careful handling. Regarding costs, I didn't encounter any “surprises” afterwards. In short: Perfect agent!!

Esther is a top realtor! Esther was our sales and purchase realtor. She helped us well and took everything out of our hands. Thanks to Esther, we managed to buy our dream house, and that in the bizarre housing market!! The contact with Esther went flawlessly from beginning to end. She is easily accessible and keeps you informed about everything. Esther is personally involved and thinks along well with you. She also has a good sense of humor. In short: for us she was the best realtor!

Esther quickly sorted out the appraisal of our new home.

The sale of a house is in most cases a stressful process. The best real estate agent is one who doesn't add to that and in some cases even alleviates the burden. Esther van Dijk is the perfect real estate agent in that regard, with a personal character. She helped us with the sale of a house and in doing so she has done everything but disappointed. The contact was also flawless and transparent from beginning to end, preventing any ambiguity or similar issues. Esther is moreover a very friendly and empathetic person. So if the personal element is an important consideration, then Esther is the perfect choice as a real estate agent.

Extremely professional service from Esther. Always reachable, all questions are answered very quickly via app or telephone. Very friendly and helpful and goal-oriented. Esther is definitely recommended to be your realtor.

What a TOP realtor Esther van Dijk is. A few months ago, we were looking for a realtor to sell my mother's house. It had to be a realtor who would take all the work out of our hands, 1 we don't understand it and 2 we didn't have time for it. In short, it couldn't just be any realtor. After comparing several websites of realtors, we ended up with Esther van Dijk Makelaardij and what a golden move that turned out to be. Everything that Esther van Dijk writes on her website, she has lived up to. From the very first introductory meeting, there was an immediate connection, what a spontaneous and disarming realtor with such unparalleled know-how. Throughout the entire sales process, she kept us informed about every step Esther van Dijk took; nothing was too much for her. If you ever need a reliable realtor who truly cares about you and the property, I definitely recommend Esther van Dijk Makelaardij. Fred Ronday

I am very satisfied with Esther van Dijk. Interested, involved and she really arranges everything for you. Direct contact without intermediaries and that's very nice. Responds quickly to messages. Top! Thanks again Esther!!!

Esther is a driven real estate agent and a pleasant, engaged woman; she knows the market and has many good contacts in the global housing market. You can always reach her and she also keeps you well informed about the status of things. We found it to be a great collaboration and we benefited greatly from her during our purchase.

Professional and friendly
