All brokers in Katwoude

Clear communication from the start, well guided by them. It's also nice that they are present at all appointments with the notary. Our real estate agent was also always easy and quick to reach.

During the process of searching to buying a house, I was helped by Mick van Bakel from van de Steege. I am incredibly happy with him and his service. He was easily accessible and actively working for me. He helped with asking the right questions and also with all matters that were not familiar to me. Ultimately, all that remains for me is signing, but I had a very positive experience with van de Steege with Mick as my real estate agent.

The contact went well. The support from the office was very friendly. Point for improvement: to call back after the viewings that went smoothly to confirm whether there is any interest in the property. It may have happened, but it wasn't always visible or noticeable to us. The fact that the sales process took longer than we estimated may be due to the market. I would recommend van der Steege to friends and acquaintances for their reliability.

We had a very good experience with the entire process at van de Steege, from the initial introductory meeting to the notary. Communication is smooth and everything is clearly explained and arranged.

Really a tough job! well done.

good service and support, very much support; Martijn handled everything neatly, especially considering the distance

It went very well, I was regularly updated. I am certainly very satisfied. Greetings!!

The initial conversations were open and transparent. That is also one of the reasons to choose this broker. In addition, they are always accessible, have good knowledge of the market, and aim for results.

Contact with our real estate agent was excellent. A fixed point of contact who was easily accessible and responded to messages or phone calls even outside office hours. Questions were answered clearly and comprehensively.

Very pleasant and professional support from Arnout Ale, my realtor. I selected them based on their good reputation and they completely lived up to it.

Very pleasant and expert advice. Arnout responds quickly and has achieved a beautiful result. The internal team also provided professional support.

Arnout Ale helped us well with the sale of our family home. We encountered some unexpected situations, but Arnout always found a solution, adjusted the sales strategy and kept the focus on the result. And with that, we are very satisfied.

Good explanation of what we could expect, proactive attitude, thinking along. When the buyer suddenly dropped out, a good reaction and a nice sale achieved in the rebound.

Ginger excellently and very professionally guided us through this sale (including two adjacent sales processes, which are also practically in the finalization phase), even with strategic and legal choices - along the winding path that selling a home can be. Highly recommended! Also because she immediately knew how to answer almost every one of the countless apps…

Very nice realtor, helps you very well with advice and in my opinion communicates clearly because you can always call. Top!

Lens Real Estate really made it possible for me to find a new house in just one month. They truly ensured that all my wishes were taken into account when suggesting houses and they found a match within no time. Thanks to their expert advice, I was also able to win the bid and am now a very happy homeowner, without ever having to deal with all the hassle that comes with buying a property.

My husband and I happened to meet Lens Real Estate because they were the seller of a property we visited, and then they became our buyer's agent because their approach really appealed to us. Mick, Liselotte, and Elena were all so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. They quickly arranged all viewings and always shared their honest opinion with us about the offer and also about all other questions we had because we weren’t that familiar with the Dutch housing market. They were so good at understanding our expectations and helped us make our wish a reality. I highly recommend working with them.

Lens Real Estate is the best, no discussion needed! Liselotte has been much more than a realtor, but more of a friend, sister and more. No one else could make my dream a reality because I was in a difficult situation. She worked patiently and kindly so hard together with Mick and everyone at the office. Lens Real Estate is by far my choice for every type of real estate investment! Thank you Lens family!

The Lens RE team offered an extremely clear plan of approach for the purchase of my first home as an expat. Everything, from what I was looking for as a homeowner to helping organize everything I needed as an expat. I felt very lost when I first started the process and found much comfort in dealing with Mick and the team. I will always recommend Mick and his team because they are 100% thorough and leave no stone unturned - which gave me enormous confidence.

Highly professional, expert and fast service at all times. Invaluable for us because we spend a lot of time outside of Amsterdam and in difficult time zones. Many thanks to Ellie, Liselotte and Izabela...

I have collaborated with Liselotte and her team several times in recent years and I can confirm that they are fantastic! Easily accessible, professional, fast and expert.

From the day we first made contact, Lens' support has been impeccable. Although I haven't been in Amsterdam for a while, I could count on Mick and the team. With their help, I found a house with everything I was looking for and made a dream come true. I can wholeheartedly recommend their service and look forward to calling them for my next purchase.

Our journey with Lens Real State began in 2021 when we were looking for a property to buy as an investment; the biggest challenge was that we only had 45 days to find the right place, within our budget that was ready to rent. We still had to buy in 2021 because the regulations changed in 2022 and would make it financially impossible for us to buy anything, and with the help of the entire team, we signed our purchase agreement on December 31, 2021. They also helped us find the right tenants and all the paperwork. After that, we knew that if we ever needed a real state again, we would definitely go with Lens. Then when we now in 2022/2023 with our newborn baby decided to sell our own house and buy a bigger one, again Liselotte and the team helped us simultaneously with selling and buying, this was crazy for us because we also had a big vacation planned between. But once again, the team was just amazing, they organized all the viewings, they referred us to a contractor for the renovation, they really held our hand during the entire process. We wholeheartedly recommend Lens Real State.

Very responsive team! Quickly fulfilled all our needs and found a dream apartment for us in our favorite neighborhood in Amsterdam. They were informative during our rental agreement, as questions arose. We worked with Liselotte and Ellie.

Great team that handles all rentals, contract viewings and communication with customers in a great, professional and fast way. We have been working with Lens for 5 years now and it is very helpful and their professional advice is TOP

As an expat, navigating the property ladder in Amsterdam was overwhelming. A Dutch friend had previously worked with Liselotte and recommended her to me. It was truly reassuring to get a recommendation from a local resident. From the beginning, Liselotte was patient, empathetic, and reassuring. She and Mick have extensive knowledge of the market and were always available and responsive when I had questions. They were both very patient with me and I never felt pressured to make a decision that I wasn't comfortable with. At Lens Vastgoed, you are in good hands!

My partner and I worked together with Liselotte and her team to find our own beautiful place in Amsterdam. As expats, it was a great help to have someone with us who knows the housing market here inside and out, who could guide us through all the administrative processes and who could accompany us during the entire purchase process of the property. Liselotte really understood what kind of place we wanted and ultimately we bought an apartment that we would never have considered even viewing, simply because we couldn't see the potential as well as she did. We are very happy with Liselotte and her team and are enormously glad that we found a place where we can build a future in Amsterdam. We recommend Liselotte and her team to everyone who wants to buy a property in Amsterdam!

Great real estate agency to work with! You notice that it's a family business and Liselotte and Mick are personal and involved. Together, we were able to sell my apartment well and everything was taken care of to the last detail!

I worked with Lens Real Estate for the purchase of my apartment in Amsterdam. As an expat in the country, there are many challenges to understand the local requirements and regulations, and the team guided us phenomenally through the process. They also always responded very quickly and were always available for a message to answer our millions of questions. I wish the team of Lens Real Estate much success in their career, and I am sure that if they maintain this high-quality customer service, they will go far in this sector.

A dedicated team led by the very friendly and helpful Liselotte. They do everything to ensure that both owners and tenants are satisfied, during and after the process. In short, your private real estate concierge.

The best possible experience with Liselotte and her team. Not only when renting a property as an expat but also when buying a property in the Netherlands. I would always recommend working with the LRE team. Thanks again for all the help!

It was a great experience to work with Liselotte and her team. The team is proactive, approachable, and creative in finding the best solution for you. As expats, we felt incredibly comfortable thanks to the expertise of Lens Real Estate. A real recommendation.

Really a great experience with the team of Brick Amsterdam. A very professional approach to help me find a suitable apartment in the overcrowded housing market of Amsterdam. Several options that matched my search and especially the communication with the team made it a very pleasant experience.

I have always had good contact with Brick and they are very enthusiastic about helping to think along. Pleasant party!

Ibi has helped me enormously to settle down in Amsterdam after my move. The process went smoothly and efficiently, and despite the difficult market, Ibi found several apartments that met my wishes.

Transparent and clear communication. A real breath of fresh air within the Amsterdam housing market!

Working with Brick Amsterdam was an absolute pleasure. From the moment I made contact, their team was attentive, professional and ensured everything ran smoothly. They quickly helped me find the perfect apartment and the aftercare was excellent. I can wholeheartedly recommend Brick Amsterdam to anyone looking for a hassle-free rental in the city!

Great match!

Initially, I had a very good feeling about Brick. Given the personal contact, it seemed logical to make an advance payment to start the search. However, the contract they want you to sign is absurd and disproportionate. Through the exclusivity clause, you are essentially paying to limit your own search. Because Brick could not present an extensive portfolio of success stories and only has a few reviews, this clause aroused suspicion - an agency that is convinced of its abilities does not need this, because it will find a home sooner than the client themselves. What I found most disturbing was that this was dismissed as 'a sign of respect' that we shouldn't also look for a property in another way (as if we were dating... I think this is really a business transaction where we would pay for your service and where something can also be expected from your side). In addition, the contract only serves Brick’s interests. As a client, you are quite restricted and there are strict requirements; the obligations for Brick are very non-binding: - You may not search yourself for 3 months - If you do that anyway, you risk a fine of €1150 including VAT - After changing your housing wishes 3 times, Brick can terminate the contract. The definition of 'change' is not clearly described and can therefore be interpreted very lightly. - Same after rejecting a property 5 times that meets the search criteria. However, 'search criteria' is not concretely defined. - Brick submits max. 10 proposals for homes in 3 months. My feedback on these points was dismissed with the statement that I should trust that Brick will find something and certainly look further once their obligations are met. However, the obligations of me as a client could not be based on 'trust' and must legally be formulated extensively. All in all, contact with Brick was pleasant, I see their potential and believe they can offer a good service. The exclusivity clause and the contract they offer are however misplaced given their portfolio, the number of reviews and the number of visible success stories.

I am an expat who moved from the United States to Amsterdam. After spending months unsuccessfully trying to find an apartment, I decided to go with Brick. It's one of the best decisions I’ve ever made during my move. Ingrid is so helpful and always willing to answer my questions, no matter how simple they are. She really took a lot of stress off my hands and made this stressful and exciting time so much more enjoyable! I found my apartment within two weeks! 11/10, I would definitely work with them again!

I had a great experience with Brick Amsterdam. Nicole not only sent us countless options, but also ultimately helped us find our dream apartment! She responded quickly, was accessible and always made sure we had no questions. Definitely recommended!

Extremely satisfied with the services of Brick Amsterdam. They helped us find our apartment in the city in no time. They were always up-to-date on everything and saved my partner and me an enormous amount of time searching, contacting brokers, doing paperwork, etcetera. Our broker was called Sophie and we could only praise her. Thanks again everyone! :)

I spent two long and arduous months looking for an apartment. Thanks to Sophie, I am now the tenant of a luxury apartment in Grachtengordel-West, and at a good deal too! Unbelievable :) The service is 100% worth the price in this crazy housing market.

It was a great experience to find a rental property through Brick. We found a home in just two weeks in such a busy market as the center of Amsterdam. Sophie from Brick was incredibly kind and caring throughout the entire rental process and advised on all housing matters. Thanks again!

We worked with Carmen and she helped us find a new apartment within a week. The process was incredibly fast and professional! Because we lived here before, we know that the housing shortage in Amsterdam is too large and that the market is competitive. This situation affected our time and our lives when we did it previously. This time, thanks to this company and Carmen, we were able to continue our normal life, even during the house search. If we hadn't asked this company, it would have been impossible to find the apartment so quickly. We are completely satisfied with the service: a real recommendation!

Carlotta has been fully committed and dedicated from the beginning to our house hunt. She was both thorough and gave excellent advice regarding all of our wishes. In addition to finding a perfect home, she also helped us with the contract, check-in, and arranging our utilities. We wholeheartedly recommend her and would certainly trust her again for future needs.

We collaborated with Sophie and Carlotta and they delivered fantastic work! They found a fantastic new home for us within a month. It's almost impossible to work without them, because the market in Amsterdam is so competitive. I can wholeheartedly recommend their service.

Expert, friendly, supportive, cheerful, human and professional!!! Nice realtor who carefully guides the entire sales process from beginning to end and knows it well!! Thanks Elsy!

I recently used the services of Waarts Makelaars and I must say that it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The realtor was very professional, attentive and had a lot of knowledge of the market. She listened to my wishes and preferences and presented me with a range of suitable options. Her guidance throughout the entire process was invaluable and made the otherwise difficult task of finding a rental property in Amsterdam smooth and stress-free. Thanks to her experience and dedication, I found the perfect place to call home. I can wholeheartedly recommend the services of Waarts Makelaars to anyone who needs help searching for a rental property.

Professional at a high level. Personal approach, attention to detail, always accessible, excellent negotiation skills. I received excellent advice in every phase of purchasing a home. Highly recommended. Very much appreciated, thank you!

I couldn't have wished for a better sales broker than Elsy. She is professional, driven, realistic and always available. She clearly has a passion for her work and she gives appropriate advice. Without her, I would never have found a house so quickly. Thank you Elsy!

Elsy helped me excellently in quickly finding a new apartment. And it's my dream place. If you are looking for a real estate agent, this is the best option.

Great fun positive women

Very friendly and helpful lady and clear information. We are very satisfied.

Had a really great experience with Elsy, without her I would still have been searching. Ultimately found exactly what I was looking for, which was quite a complicated list of requirements.

I want to thank Elsy for her professionalism! I was interested in renting an apartment and she responded to my emails at 11:00 PM and arranged a virtual viewing given the fact that we could not attend the physical viewing due to the long distance! Thank you very much Elsy Nsekama!

Excellent mediation service during my search for a rental property, with all aspects included. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. Nuri

Great to work with, clear in her communication and keeps her appointments! Onwards to our next collaboration.

Contact ran very well could always reach them no request or question was too much personalized service and everything was negotiable

Expert, friendly, supportive, cheerful, human and professional!!! Nice realtor who carefully guides the entire sales process from beginning to end and knows it well!! Thanks Elsy!

High level professional. Individual approach, attention to detail, always in touch, excellent negotiation skills. I have received some excellent advice at every stage of the property purchase. Highly recommend. Much appreciated, thank you!

Elsy was amazing during the search purchase and the administration after. I wouldn’t be able to have my dream home without her

Had a really great experience with Elsy, without her I would still have been searching. Ultimately found exactly what I was looking for, which was quite a complicated list of requirements.

Waarts real estate agents are true professionals. Their advice and guidance were great. I sold the house within 12 days after it was put on the market. I highly recommend real estate agents to anyone who wants to sell their home. Although they are very experienced, their commission is very low. Their commission is the cheapest of the 3 real estate agents I contacted.

Very expert advice from Mario Calma. Good knowledge of the market, good advice. The sale was quickly concluded. Meanwhile, 2 deals have been closed with this realtor to everyone's satisfaction. Recommended. Next-Makelaars Mario Calma: Who Else?

Professional no-nonsense real estate agent who is always very accessible and guides such an important event in a pleasant way.

Extremely involved and reliable real estate agent. Mario advised us fantastically and guided us completely from start to finish with the sale. Thanks to Mario's extensive experience, we were able to make a good assessment of the bids and our house was sold well above the asking price. We could always contact Mario throughout the entire process and then we could count on quick and transparent answers. It felt like a smooth collaboration, almost a shame it’s over :) thanks Mario!

Everything went as wished, the real estate agent was very knowledgeable and helpful. The real estate agent greatly helped me with the many questions I had and provided good advice throughout the entire process.

Very nice personality and honest approach. I was kept very well informed throughout the entire process. Would recommend this realtor to everyone.

Very pleasant real estate agency. Perfect service for a competitive commission, really go the extra mile. Handles and communicates quickly and transparently. The house was sold quickly, but I would also confidently engage this office as a buyer's agent or appraiser.

Clear and concise communication. Pleasant to deal with. Sharp business acumen. Clear strategy definition.

Next real estate agents are truly there for you as a client. A realistic selling price ensures a quick sale with a very good final selling price. And everything is taken care of well for you.

Mario is a fine no-nonsense agent, with passion for his profession. Due to his knowledge of the market, his good advice and his enthusiasm, our house was sold quickly, for the right price. Mario remains involved in the process until the transfer. For a next sale, or purchase, we will ask Mario again as an agent!

Our broker is always accessible and answers all questions very quickly. He is direct and expert. Very pleasant to deal with.

Mario understands the local market well. Has a clear sales strategy. We experienced the collaboration as very pleasant but above all very open and clear.

Good realtor and always willing to answer questions directly. Mario is knowledgeable and knows what's happening in the market. The collaboration was excellent. We are very satisfied.

Excellent real estate agent, accessible and engaged. Honest, reliable and easily reachable. Not the cheapest.

A really great realtor to work with and he knows how the market works! Highly recommended. Mario works very personally and gives you a feeling of peace during the sale. He also has a lot of knowledge of the market, which naturally works very well. In short, top notch!

The contacts were very pleasant and friendly, I was always allowed to call. I was already the 4th in the family to use his services.

I experienced it as a pleasant and fair collaboration. It turned out to be quite a job that we nevertheless managed to complete. The real estate agent expertly guided us through all the steps and was honest about what we could do best. The sale and handling proceeded very smoothly. Even with special, and unexpected matters, this real estate agent proved to be an excellent discussion partner so that the sale and delivery of the house could continue on schedule. We are very satisfied.
