Bad experience with the owner/broker During the viewing on Friday, we hardly received any information about the property. When we asked how the further process would proceed, we were told that there was no closing date and that we could simply submit a bid by email or phone. On Monday, we made an offer, on Tuesday we called, and in the afternoon on Tuesday, we received an email saying that the house had already been sold. During telephone contact, we received a vague and confusing story. Apparently, another party had already submitted a bid on Friday or Saturday, which was initially insufficient. Subsequently, a counter-offer was made and accepted without informing us about it (we are talking about 0 working days). Nevertheless, he repeatedly stated that if it doesn't go through, I will call you! but also that the reconsideration period has already passed and it is final. And the house still stands “for sale” on Funda. No communication, no transparency. Everything was unprofessional. Not a pleasant experience. We won’t be using DE WEKKER Makelaardij again. Sidenote: giving the 1 star review shows a pattern.

Generally good, but we had expected slightly more regarding a few minor things concerning informing potential buyers, watering the plants as promised, and such matters. In addition, pleasant contact, reliable, easily accessible, enjoyable collaboration, and good information from the office and the sales advisor,

Mike, Caitlin, Our heartfelt thanks for the interest, involvement and help you have given us. It was really great that you responded even at 11:15 PM, we greatly appreciated that! While writing this message, I read a review where someone complained about busyness and portrayed themselves as a victim. I find that a bit unfair, because we also viewed many houses and experienced the same problems. Some houses attract 80 to 90 interested parties, and a real estate agent simply cannot schedule separate appointments for all these people. Suppose a real estate agent spends half an hour with each of 80 people, you are already just busy with viewings for a week, and with the handling it quickly takes three weeks. The seller often wants to sell the house within days. So I think it's unfair to assume bad intentions. It is better to be positive about good intentions, that is my opinion. Thanks again for your excellent service!

We had a viewing at a property and got the strong impression that we were having a personal viewing because we were allowed to come and look between 2:00 PM and 2:15 PM. However, it turned out that all interested parties were walking through the house at the same time, which felt very uncomfortable. The entire communication process also went very poorly. Therefore, no high opinion of De Wekker...

We bought our house through De Wekker (and will soon be able to officially receive the keys! :D). Arie actively thought along with us about the possibilities of the property and we were very well assisted. For example, we were kept well informed about permit applications around the complex and contact was made with the selling party so that we could measure things. In short: we are very satisfied!

Do not use this broker for appraisals in the Alphen aan den Rijn region. Incorrect valuation based on poorly comparable homes and no willingness to reconsider with clear arguments. Customer focus and service leave much to be desired. A pity about the time and money.

2x a call was made to Wekker; in the past to sell our house and recently to have our house appraised. Both times unfortunately disappointed in this real estate agent. For the sale of our house, they sent an apprentice who clearly wasn't very far along in his training. The appraisal was carried out based on assumptions and the communication was poor. I would therefore not recommend this real estate agent. Response to the below reaction from Mr. van Valderen: We contacted you following the above because I wanted to find a solution. The assumptions I am talking about were then discussed extensively, and we agreed that the communication had much to be desired. You offered to put me in contact with another appraiser from your network to have a new appraisal carried out. Unfortunately, after this phone call, I never heard back from you or an appraiser from your network. Therefore, for me, sufficient reason to leave this review.

The efforts of the real estate agent were minimal. I had to compose the contract with the real estate agent myself (a rather unclear form). I also had to pick up and hang the 'for sale' sign myself. The proposed sales text for Funda was completely wrong (the number of rooms was incorrect, and the layout was not correct either). Ultimately, I created a correct text myself. When the apartment was sold, I even received the 'sold' stickers that I had to stick on myself. A…

If you have any questions, your alarm broker is always quick to assist you. Whether by phone or WhatsApp, it's never a problem and always good advice.

Expert advice. Sold within 2 weeks. Good personal guidance. Beautiful presentation on funda

Good guidance and advice. Throughout the entire process, we were excellently served by our broker Arie. We appreciate clarity, and that was certainly achieved.

Arie, thank you for the good guidance! Throughout the process, you kept me constantly informed and I found the short lines very pleasant. Very satisfied! 💐

We are very satisfied with this broker (Elias). Personal contact was pleasant, good accessibility and service, expert advice. And that for a realistic price. We recommend this broker.

The real estate agent is expert and friendly. When negotiating, he gave valuable advice. As indicated by the real estate agent, our house was sold quickly.

The alarm is well arranged, a good broker, I've been doing business with them for years. The alarm has done its best.

Important criteria for us were: personal contact, easy (e.g., telephone) accessibility and service, expertise and a good knowledge of the market (+ developments). And all this for a realistic price. We are very satisfied with this real estate agent.

I was looking for a real estate agent who sees the value of a house in all aspects. Not just financially, but also emotionally and “simply” as a home. I once read an interview with “such” a real estate agent but could no longer remember the name…..so searching in the “haystack”……and: found him! He understands what I mean, what I want and what the house has meant for us. The presentation also did justice to the house and its potential. The buyers indicate that they will adapt the house with respect to d...

Great contact with Ralph! From the first moment he gave me confidence in his knowledge and skills. He guided us through every step of the process well and always with a pleasantly optimistic and humorous attitude (especially during the more exciting moments). But he was also honest throughout the entire process and didn't sugarcoat anything. Finally, I found the photos and presentation of my home to be beautifully done, so Ralph’s suppliers/partners know what they are doing. Short…

I've done business with Ralph Lek more often in the past. That has always gone excellently, and for next time I will definitely involve Ralph! All worries taken out of your hands and everything perfectly arranged. Not only the nicest realtor in Leiden but also the best.

Ralph Lek is the right realtor for special houses in (the city center) of Leiden! With modern tools, he makes the house accessible to all kinds of interested parties. His genuine enthusiasm does the rest!

The real estate agent is almost always reachable, even in the evenings. He has a lot of knowledge of the market, especially monumental buildings. His specialty is custom solutions, selling properties where a lot of renovation and reconstruction needs to be done.

It was nice to work together. He was concerned with us, communicates honestly and openly. Doesn't take sides. He is there for both the buyer and the selling party. Pleasant surprise at the handover!

Ralph is a passionate and engaged real estate agent. He takes into account the personal situation, is easily accessible, and uses his knowledge of the market and monumental real estate to get the most out of sales and create a win-win situation. Golden guy!

Our realtor was great, from the beginning, very professional and supportive, highly recommended, regards

Top broker with good market insight. Ralph presents your house with beautiful photos and video. Clear communication and always accessible and approachable for questions I have experienced as very pleasant.

Good contact, easily accessible, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Handled many important matters, such as building inspection, energy label, and someone to make the interior look better in photos. After posting on Funda, things went at a rapid pace, everything ran smoothly, and it was quickly resolved.

A wonderfully energetic and likeable personality full of service and empathy. Very pleasant to work with.

Ralph Lek has a pleasant, intensive, modern way of conveying interests realistically and understandably. Regardless of whether the client has a lot or little knowledge of real estate. That is a special talent, because it makes the difference between a good or an exceptionally good realtor! Ralph is professional, has incredibly extensive legal and technical knowledge, delivers his work excellently on all fronts, is reasonably priced but above all a very pleasant and empathetic m...

Very nice realtor. Knows how it works, is clear, friendly and above all very good at what he does, both when we bought a house through him and when he sold our house. He puts a lot of work into the sale and that shows in the interest for the house and in the final selling price. Our house was significantly better sold than comparable houses through other realtors in our neighborhood.

His genuine enthusiasm and involvement, and his personal approach: that's what distinguishes Ralph from Lek Makelaars. He remains open at all times, but is also realistic. That combination means we absolutely could not have wished for a better real estate agent for the sale of our house.

Great help from Lek Makelaars with the sale of my house. Received great guidance during the entire sales process and managed to sell the property for a top price as well. Ralph is not only the nicest realtor in Leiden but also the best. Truly RECOMMENDED!

Both with purchase and sale, top experiences! Expertise, professionalism, accessibility (also outside office hours) but above all putting people first. That is what characterizes José and Arjan. We hope to live in our new house for a long time yet, but we will definitely return to them if we need a real estate agent again!

José Faber wonderfully helped us in the search for a new house! She thinks along with you well, was present at almost all viewings (and there were quite a few), really looks at everything and asks good and critical questions. She reads you as a buyer very well, but is also honest. As a result, as a buyer you can make a well-considered choice to bid on a house or not. Korrom, are you looking for a real estate agent who is very involved in you and your search…

Great experience again (third time!): expert, decisive, honest, good negotiator and very human. Always very quick response to questions via WhatsApp/email/calling. I am 100% satisfied for the third time (purchase and sale) with José Faber!

This broker is also easily accessible outside of office hours. The handover was good, I am very satisfied with it.

From A to Z perfect. Both regarding the substantive approach and the communication. Very professional and expert.

José is my purchase/sales broker for the 3rd time, always successfully, I am 100% confident in her: expert in all relevant areas: I find her honest, decisive, always accessible and human. I can wholeheartedly recommend her!

We had a carefree and perfect experience with Arjan and José. Due to circumstances, our house had to be sold within a very short time – an almost impossible task. But they actively collaborated with us. Arjan remained both realistic and flexible, which led to the fact that it went quite quickly but not at the expense of the selling price. Really great! Highly recommended!

Very pleasant, excellent service and quick answers to questions, do what is promised, no fuss

Friendly, fast and good service. We were well guided during the sale and we received quick answers to our questions.

Great advice and good service. So everything was fine, both for the new and old house. Absolutely no downsides.

Arjan is an ambitious real estate agent who thinks in terms of opportunities and possibilities. Likeable, approachable, not a talker, and good at maintaining contact during the procedure. A good sparring partner as well - both before, during, and after the actual sales process. Not the absolute cheapest, but he is worth the investment. We certainly recommend him.

Not a quick, smooth broker but a calm, honest person who genuinely thinks along with you and communicates very well. Valuable if you want a good price for your house, but also if you find the human aspect important.

Nice warm knowledgeable realtor. Someone who knows what they're talking about, makes clear agreements and follows through on them. Pleasant to work with, gladly recommend him.

Arjan sold our house; there's nothing to fault here, a very kind man who takes care of everything perfectly.

Always and every time friendly employees, only a bit too busy therefore little attention for real customers INSTEAD of all those fun shoppers. (But don't blame the fun shopper though)😘😘…

Woondream (Gaby and her team) knows the local market like no other. Gaby is clear and direct in communication, keeps appointments. Determining the right selling price remains difficult. Gaby convincingly advised me on the approach and with an interim ‘trust the process’ a very good price emerged “finally” (within 3 weeks after online sold). The handling after the sale up to and including the final inspection was also adequately managed by Woondream. Thank you all...

Engaged real estate agent with good knowledge of the local market. Good guidance and pleasant to deal with. Strong commercially as a sales and purchase broker.

Gaby is a skilled, accessible, proactive, and pleasant person. He helped us well with the purchase and sale of our old and new home and we can therefore wholeheartedly recommend him during your search!

Very good guidance in this crazy market for both the purchase of our new house and the sale of our old house.

The line to the broker was very short. As a result, the contact went very well and it was pleasant doing business.

Very nice person. Clear advice and perfect handling for the sale. We experienced taking the photos and drone video as very pleasant. This all went very smoothly and seamlessly.

Very pleasant result from beginning to end. Our wishes were listened to and there was good communication from real estate agency Woondroom. Gaby, thank you for the lovely guidance.

Review for Wessel as selling agent I have had an excellent experience with Wessel as my selling agent. The communication flowed very smoothly and clearly, and he always responded quickly to my questions or requests. In addition, I found him incredibly friendly and involved, which made the entire sales process much more pleasant. Normally, I like to keep a close eye on such processes myself, but due to circumstances that was not possible this time. Fortunately, thanks to Wessel, it wasn't necessary at all. He took the process completely out of my hands and gave me confidence that everything would be handled properly. What I also really appreciated was that he thought carefully and always came up with appropriate solutions and advice. His expertise shone through in every step of the process, making me feel like I was in good hands. In short, I would absolutely recommend Wessel to anyone looking for a reliable and professional agent!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Wessel as a real estate agent if you want to sell or buy a house. Wessel is a great person and a professional in his work. After speaking with three agents, we chose him. He sold our apartment in Leiden (Cronestein) for a bid higher than expected. He conducted more than 20 viewings for our apartment and everything afterwards went very smoothly, including signing the purchase agreement. He was even present at the notary.

We had a pleasant experience with Wessel. Apart from the knowledge Wessel possesses about locations, properties etc., we found it particularly nice that he could take the emotion out of it. We were truly in love with the property and prepared (a lot) to bid over asking price. Wessel guided us well and thanks to him and his advice, we actually got our dream house without having to offer too much!

Wessel is pleasant to deal with and also helped us well with reviewing the purchase contract of our new house. He gave a correct valuation of our house to be sold. He is customer-focused, the service is excellent and he kept us informed when there had been viewers.

Excellent real estate agent. I bought my house in Leiden through Wessel and later sold it again. In both cases, Wessel offered exceptional service and very thorough, independent advice. He has an in-depth knowledge of the Leiden housing market and was able to guide me in English during the purchase and sale process, which was very pleasant. Thanks to his expertise, both the purchase and sale went smoothly. Friends of mine have also engaged him and had the same positive experience. I can wholeheartedly recommend Wessel to anyone considering buying or selling in Leiden.

Customer-friendly and professional service.

Wessel gave us clarity right from the first appointment. About our possibilities, costs and the purchasing process. This gave us the confidence to choose him and that turned out to be a good choice. Wessel communicates clearly, is easily accessible and has an eye for detail. Both when viewing homes and when reviewing the official documents. For example, he corrected errors in the notary's and selling party’s documents. We are very satisfied with the service he provided us and wholeheartedly recommend him.

Wessel had to work hard for it, gained new experiences, and did all of this with great enthusiasm and conviction. And brought everything to a good end. All in all, it has been a very good experience. He is therefore highly recommended as an agent. Good clear communication, you are kept informed about everything, very pleasant collaboration!

Reliable, professional, skilled and a pleasure to work with! Buying a house is a tough business, where there's still a lot of emotion involved for both the buyer (and seller). Sometimes not always a handy combination. You need someone you can trust in this period, who knows what he's doing and with whom you feel comfortable. That is Wessel. You couldn't wish for a better partner in one of the most exciting periods of your life. He just knows a lot and the advice is always tailored to your needs. Our realtor for life.

Wessel real estate agency is a pleasant realtor, a problem-solver with an eye for detail and very enjoyable to work with. Quickly reachable via WhatsApp/email/phone. With great confidence, we started the sale of our home!
