Very pleasant and professional collaboration for both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing property. Smooth communication and everything went smoothly. In short. Very satisfied with the cooperation with Hellema real estate!
Hellema helped me well with the purchase of my new house and handled the communication with the selling party.
I've benefited greatly from Hellema, also when purchasing my new home. What was very convenient for me was that I was allowed to borrow one of their vans a few times for moving things.
Fine and smooth communication! In addition very professional and with a good purchase as a result. Very satisfied.
It went very smoothly, good assessment of the value, having the house decorated by a stylist. This was really great.
There was quickly a get-to-know-you conversation scheduled and action was immediately taken. It was clearly explained what we had to do to make it presentable, and once that was all done, things went very fast! We were kept well informed and regarding the viewings, great consideration was given to our wishes...top service!
Contact with the broker (Meindert de Graaf) went well. He was easily accessible (also via WhatsApp) and always responded quickly.
Great contact. Local realtor who knows the market well. Everything arranged properly. Many worries taken off your hands. So Hellema is definitely recommended
What a pleasant realtor! Rutger, with his knowledge and expertise combined with the right presentation, has achieved the maximum result from the sale of my house. In addition, they also provide their company van for the move. I can recommend Hellema real estate to everyone.
good contacts good accessibility possibly also weekends always answers to my questions, by email watts app or phone call
Contact was extremely pleasant. Everything went flawlessly. We can certainly recommend Hellema Real Estate.
Contact with the real estate agent was excellent. We were well informed about the status of affairs at the right times.
Contact with our real estate agent went from the beginning as we had hoped. We were guided throughout the entire process which felt very warm to us as the selling party, after all you don't sell your familiar home every day. Also bringing us in contact with the buying party went professionally and yet very pleasantly which felt very nice for both parties. Ultimately, this real estate agent and his team made a very beautiful deal for us where both parties hee…
Great… acts normally too, and behaves accordingly. Remains calm and passes that on as well. Also solved a problem for me regarding an easement.
In a word "top"
Good contact and good knowledge of the subject matter, everything was well arranged. The entire process went smoothly and seamlessly.
An old and familiar address. Another top performance, thank you. All worries were taken out of your hands!!!
Very good, fast and clear communication. Nothing was impossible. Rutger was also reachable outside of office hours. What a great guy.
A great real estate agent. Clear agreements and efficient service. Contact also runs smoothly outside of office hours. As a result, a pleasant and quick sale.
Excellent handling of the sale of our house and a beautiful presentation of the property on Funda posted.
Hellema real estate agents (Rutger) found the house we always dreamed of for us. Very good service and accessibility - also when selling our house - ensures that those 5 stars are well deserved.
Excellent contact, helpful and solution-oriented in the sales process. Honest and realistic advice, for example regarding the asking price!
Had a very pleasant collaboration with Hellema Makelaars. Rutger helped me well with selling my house and achieved a good final destination. Super fast response and always answers all your questions. Thank you so much for everything!
As a first-time homebuyer, I didn't know where to begin. That’s why I was very happy with the guidance of an expert and accessible purchasing agent. He came along to viewings, checked the structural condition, helped me think about bidding, and kept in contact with the selling party. Although my search area was limited, I only had to view three houses before I could proceed with a purchase. I am very satisfied with the guidance from Rutger…
Friendly treatment. Short communication lines. Quick action. In short, everything is perfect; could not be better.
Super Broker. Very attentive. Super nice. Always ready to help you. Proper handling. Truly recommended.
Good realtor who thinks along with you
A recommendation ….. Meindert de Graaf is an experienced broker and knows his stuff! Also a pleasant person, involved and expert with his son Rutger, the teamwork is great. Wonderful service like, that we were allowed to borrow their bus for the move. Also Jeina incredibly friendly and good communication and advice. .I give them a solid 10
A top realtor! Received enormous help from both realtors and the staff at the office during purchase and sale. Due to the good presentation and skilled people, my house was also sold incredibly quickly.
With an experienced and expert real estate agent and financial advisor (Advies Bureau Combee), you feel confident, and that's exactly what you need when things are exciting. Thanks Meindert and Bas!
Nice company, pleasant people with expertise
Good consideration was given to our personal situation, and advice was provided based on this regarding the sale of our home. However, there was also certainly room for our own ideas and wishes. The communication flowed very pleasantly and smoothly. We are very satisfied and will therefore recommend Hellema Makelaars to everyone!
Very knowledgeable guidance and service with the sale of our house. The way they work shows that they have a lot of experience. The selling price was also to our satisfaction. I recommend Hellema to anyone who wants to sell their home!
A realtor like most
Unfortunately, 0 stars is not possible otherwise there wouldn't be 1 star given.. Based on our own experience with Hellema real estate agents, we would strongly advise against hiring this agency to sell your house. The immense lack of communication, scaring away potential buyers, lack of knowledge of the current market and especially the lack of self-reflection is truly incomprehensible that this company still exists. Hellema real estate agents had our move-in ready home for sale for 9 months, which we were far from happy about. The market was strange and came up at a terribly bad time to sell, we fully understood , it would be alright and we believed M de Graaf's advice remained absent from M De Graaf. From January onwards, several homes in our street came on the market and were sold within a very short time for the asking price, while ours remained despite many viewings, lowering the price, new photos etc., but did not sell. Our trust in Hellema real estate agents diminished more and more. After multiple complaint emails in 5 months to their address (where there was no response except from Jeanna), we switched to another real estate agent because we felt that we had given Hellema real estate agents enough chances to improve it. After being re-listed on funda by the new real estate agent, there was a reaction within 24 hours from 2 parties who had been dealing with M de Graaf, including the current buyer of our home, who immediately let them know , after supposedly dropping out of negotiations due to the poor, deficient and slow communication of M de Graaf. Even now, there is an immense lack of communication within Hellema company. We withdrew because Hellema real estate agents remained in breach and did nothing with our complaints. Less than 30 minutes after withdrawing from the agreement, we received an invoice for €1000,-, which we immediately called to say that we thought was a ridiculous amount since we were leaving due to their lack of dealing with complaints. M de Graaf mainly showed his self-important and arrogant attitude during the phone call, but after my angry words, he said he would think about it. Weeks later, I was called again, of course not by M de Graaf himself, but with a phone call from Jeanna in which he wanted to go for €500,- for the so-called extra costs incurred. Now 4 months later and without receiving an invoice of €500,- we receive a reminder but now for €1000,-. In addition, the invoice is addressed to the wrong person and at the wrong address. Hellema real estate agents seriously failed us in our situation and cost us a lot of money, many costs could have been prevented with good negotiation and communication, but he will never admit anything about it due to a lack of self-reflection and his attitude. Supplement to the previous message Mr. de Graaf is blackmailing... Dear Mrs. Van der Mee, The offer of € 500,- was valid, however you did not use this and did not transfer any money to our account. We would like to make you a one-time offer to remove your negative review on Google and transfer € 500,- to our account as withdrawal. If you do not do so, we will definitely hand over the claim and demand the € 1,000,- as agreed in the sales assignment. This is the last email that we ourselves dedicate to this file. Sincerely, rutger de Graaf Hellema Makelaars
We rented a year through Hellema real estate agents, Jeina was our contact person. The communication always proceeded quickly and friendly, and there was very good collaboration with us, which resulted in a pleasant transition when moving. We are very satisfied!
professional, understanding, skilled, reliable and friendly
Very pleasant contact, short lines of communication. Especially thanks to the intensive guidance from this realtor, a successful sale within 3 months.
Rutger guided and advised us wonderfully, he is a top realtor. Also all other employees at Hellema helped us very well. Everyone is patient and highly skilled. We were kept informed of every change. It took a lot of sales stress away from us. I recommend everyone who wants to sell their house to Hellema Makelaars.
A broker who is clear and straightforward. Gives good advice, both for us and the seller, but also for the buyer.
Very pleasant contact with our broker Rutger. Fast and adequate (re)action from the back office. They have a good knowledge of the market and the sales method.
Excellent Real Estate Agent, interested, personal and good advising. The sales process was perfectly guided, in short, very satisfied with Hellema Makelaars.
Everything is great. Good and short communication lines Pleasant and customer-friendly treatment; Quick action
Very satisfied. Very attentive. Skilled, with advice etc. You can always reach them. Phone contact with employees, also very satisfied. A real recommendation. Top. A solid 10
From the beginning, communication with Rutger went well. He came with a realistic sales value. Furthermore, everything was taken out of our hands. The brokerage firm arranged everything.
Very fine service. Assignment successfully completed. Highly recommended. Good support and accessibility
Pleasant demeanor, expert and realistic advice. Gives the client the feeling that everything is in good hands. That provides certainty and that's what you need for such major decisions. The combination of financial advice (Combee) is also nice, because it ensures good communication between them. The lines are short.
A top realtor! Received enormous help from both realtors and the staff at the office during purchase and sale. Due to the good presentation and skilled people, my house was also sold incredibly quickly.
Pleasant contact with the real estate agent. Furthermore, we were well informed by the staff about the process.
Very pleasant and knowledgeable contact. Definitely recommended. I was helped with a lot of energy and perseverance despite the challenging market situation as a buyer.
Good consideration was given to our personal situation, and advice was provided based on this regarding the sale of our home. However, there was also certainly room for our own ideas and wishes. The communication flowed very pleasantly and smoothly. We are very satisfied and will therefore recommend Hellema Makelaars to everyone!
Good service and communication. Everything is explained clearly and the presentation of the property is excellent. Top Team👍🏻
Meindert gave good advice to get the best sales prize. I also had my own ideas involved which is very important to me. Meindert arranged everything on time so it went well, and it was quickly sold to the best family that fits with our home. We were very happy how things run like clock work. We could rest assured, leave for New Zealand when Meindert finished everything with the sale and handover to the new owner.
Had good communication with the real estate agent. Everything went smoothly and if there were any questions, they were answered quickly. Received good advice from the real estate agent for the sale of our house. Long story short; we are satisfied with this real estate agent!
Good service delivery, good communication and guidance. Good systems that make communication optimal. Preparation and completion also as desired!
We are extremely satisfied with this realtor and can recommend him to everyone, which we certainly will do. They receive a solid 10 from us. Jaap and Emmy Drijver
Fantastic, short lines and fast actions! We are extremely satisfied with the guidance from Meindert! Both for the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new homes, everything was monitored from A to Z.
We received a neat sales consultation in advance and discussed a sales strategy based on this. The entire sales process therefore proceeded very smoothly and according to plan.
Good contact and fully guided throughout the entire process. Always kept informed about the status in between, and everything else taken care of as well. Therefore, we are extremely satisfied with the service.
Rutger from Hellema real estate excellently helped me within my search process with a beautiful purchased home as a result! I first stated my wishes. In addition to searching myself, Hellema also regularly came up with suggestions that were aligned with my search criteria. I have little affinity for homes myself, so I didn't know what to look for during viewings. The added value for me was not only in confirming a good purchase, but also in the v...
Unreliable, biased and not independent appraiser. Acts in the interest of the client. Especially in divorces and when there is a connection with the other party. This man had a connection with the other party and was also arranged by the other party, despite the fact that I indicated, also to the appraiser, that I did not agree with this and would not approve of this appraiser. Unprofessional, inaccurate, does not take measurements, does not check all points to prevent misunderstandings, and does wet finger work similar to a free valuation. If you then ask this appraiser why he doesn't measure the dimensions, he states that he can find everything on the internet which is not correct because the renovations, extension, dormer window, realizing 2 extra bedrooms etc., and the dimensions thereof, are not available online. My experience with this appraiser; unreliable, biased, unprofessional. Practices cronyism. Update following reaction Meindert de Graaf; you know what I'm talking about, Mr. de Graaf. You sent the other party something different, and that is in black and white in his defense. This appraisal was a pre-arranged deal, and as an appraiser you know the loopholes of the law. And despite me having indicated beforehand that I did not agree with you as an appraiser, because you could not guarantee your impartiality and independence, you still proceeded with the appointment, because; I was not the client. And so I will not remove this review.
Clear and reliable
Great communication during house sale!
Very good experiences with this broker. Responds quickly, is proactive and they are very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
Mr. De Graaf van Hellema Makelaars does not honor his appointments. Not proactive. Poor communication. Does not react adequately; you always have to chase after him. Makes his own preferences.
Last summer we used the services of Hellema Real Estate for the purchase of our new home. Skilled team, easily accessible, involved and very pleasant contact. An absolute recommendation!
Friendly welcome, appointments are kept meticulously.
Poor communication, do not retract anything.
Friendly, enthusiastic, honest, experienced, skilled real estate agent with heart for the client. Real Estate Agency Hellema helped us excellently in selling our house and buying our new home.
We had to be here briefly to return the keys of a rental property and were received kindly.
All praise for Meindert & Rutger regarding their knowledge & service, concerning real estate matters. For years the address for purchase, sale, rental & management. Professionals. Not unimportant: lovely personalities!
