Tom or Thom called me and made a threatening remark that he would come by because I posted something on social media questioning the reasonableness of the rent for one of his rental properties on Sportstraat in Amsterdam, based on an estimate of the maximum reasonable rent / Rent check. After I rejected him verbally, Thom said: 'I know where you live, let's go' and then hung up. Thom acted as if he knew nothing in the WhatsApp follow-up and made a homophobic comment, but when he realized that I had recorded the conversation, he became defensive and accused me of being rude on the phone. I cannot recommend doing business with this man. If you rent from him, check the rent on the website of the Huurcommissie.

This well-known Amsterdam real estate agent provided excellent guidance for our sale and new house in London. The agent was easily accessible, reachable every day of the week, even outside office hours. The level of service was very high. We didn't expect that we would also have to get notarization in London, but the agent arranged a private jet so we wouldn't be delayed - fantastic class. We will recommend him to our international friends and acquaintances and will definitely return for new business.

For the sale of our apartment in de Rivierenbuurt, we chose River Makelaardij, partly because they are well acquainted with this neighborhood. The proposed sales strategy immediately appealed to us and realtor Alana Balk came across as both pleasant and professional during the initial contact. Throughout the entire sales process, communication with Alana was excellent. She was always easily accessible, to the point, and provided expert advice that we were able to follow without any problems. Her colleagues in the office, especially Eline and Ties, were also easily accessible and responded quickly and adequately. Alana engaged a stylist and a photographer who, together with us, ensured a beautiful presentation of the apartment on Funda. Despite the housing stock in our price range increasing rapidly in March 2025, our apartment was sold within a reasonable timeframe (delivery on July 14, 2025), in accordance with expectations, with Alana as an involved and reliable guide. We can wholeheartedly recommend River Makelaardij. The team is experienced, expert, and knows how to guide their clients in a pleasant, non-pushy way.

Cavan's service was really excellent! I recently moved from Japan to Amsterdam and Cavan has supported me from start to finish - from finding suitable accommodations, arranging viewings, negotiating, preparing documents and even helping with utilities and internet installation. What impressed me most is that he had already prepared everything before I arrived in Amsterdam, so that on the day of arrival I could move directly into the apartment. He arranged the keys, cleaning, repairs and all necessary preparations perfectly, so that after a long flight I could start my new life without stress or confusion. He always reacts extremely quickly, explains everything clearly and always does more than is needed. The apartment he found for me is also very comfortable and I am very happy with my new home. Finding an apartment in Amsterdam is known to be extremely difficult, especially for people coming from abroad, but thanks to Cavan the whole process went smoothly and worry-free. I greatly appreciate his professionalism, friendliness and sincere dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Cavan to everyone looking for a place in Amsterdam. Thank you very much for everything! Koki

These expectations were not only met, but even exceeded. Boaz worked tirelessly and was available for us every day, not only in finding a home, but also in helping with all the paperwork and advice during the move. This took away a lot of stress from us when we moved from Ireland. I can't recommend or thank Housingnet enough for their expert service.

Do not work with Nieuw Amsterdams Huys if you want to buy a house and expect an supportive approach and thorough due diligence. The purpose of engaging a real estate agent is that a reliable person will represent your interests when buying a house. For me, this means support in finding a house, assessing it, making an appropriate offer and informing about possible problems with the house itself (going through paperwork, etc.). You would expect that all of this is also supported by good and timely communication, especially in a heated market like the current one. Nieuw Amsterdams Huys failed on all fronts. From the beginning of my search, I only received one apartment from the team; the rest I found myself on Funda. On its own no problem, but it did not offer any real added value in terms of priority for viewings, because some viewings were planned too late and the apartment was already sold before I could see it. The communication was also bad. Both Joris and Bas went on vacation for two weeks shortly after their collaboration without properly informing me. During that time, I visited apartments myself and missed two bidding opportunities because the team was not able to go through the paperwork/apartment in time. The cherry on top was when I saw a house that interested me and asked Bas for more information. He said there were no clear red flags and advised to make an offer of about 15% above the asking price. I did not listen and my offer of about 10% was accepted. This was already a clear mistake that could have cost me thousands of euros extra. At that moment I insisted on checking the due diligence research, while I repeatedly heard that everything was fine and that I should not even think about it. When I asked for additional information about the VVE of the building, I only got general answers (and not to all questions), until I asked for the documents in Dutch and within 10 minutes, after having gone through them with Google Translate, I discovered extra costs and problems with the building that Bas had not checked (or, as he himself said, 'which he did not pay much attention to'). The technical inspection confirmed these findings and revealed more (including a leaking ceiling, high air humidity, rotting wooden beams), and even then I got the answer that the building was in good condition, without any support to represent me and negotiate in my favor (which I ultimately paid for). Overall, I felt like a burden to ask questions and almost forced to speed up and overlook possible defects, purely and solely for a quick purchase, which was not in line with my interests, but clearly with those of Nieuw Amsterdams Huys.

Overall a very disappointing experience. Recommended by a friend. I paid to hire a real estate agent for the seller. In the end, I had to negotiate with the seller and the notary, depending on my interests. So far, the most crucial details negotiated by the real estate agent have not been carried out by the seller and I am dealing with that. I must also mention that I found the property I bought myself, and that I needed help from a real estate agent for the bidding, negotiations, and delivery process (excluding banking matters). The notary was also already assigned. I worked with Willem. Edit: You need to contact me in no case. Those men had the nerve to email me requesting that I delete the review, with the label 'inappropriate'. This review will remain here for my safety.

I advise against buying a house through Nieuw Amsterdam Huys, as we are not satisfied with the guidance they provided us as expats throughout the entire process. They misled us when we (simply) heavily relied on them for identifying issues with the apartments, due diligence, bidding advice, and securing the best deal possible. Buying a home is one of the most important financial and emotional decisions that is already stressful in the overheated market. Therefore, it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to have a good and reliable real estate agent. I understand that we also made mistakes due to lack of understanding in a new country and blindly trusted the agent. But I hope no one else makes the same mistake as us.

I would stay far away from them if you are looking for an honest, competent and reliable purchasing agent, especially if you are an expat. They do the absolute minimum and take advantage of your lack of local market knowledge to earn their hefty commission as quickly as possible. Their only strategy is to get their clients to bid as high as possible, regardless of the actual market value of the house. 7 months ago we bought an apartment in Amsterdam with Joris as our agent. We are only writing this review now because we have since realized many things and now have knowledge about factors that influence property values in the Netherlands, and also because we initially wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. We can say that we absolutely regret our decision to work with Joris due to: 1. He did not provide a single relevant advertisement during the entire search process, nor early access. Worse still, they kept suggesting houses that clearly didn't meet our criteria and were far from our preferred areas. 2. We would advise ourselves to bid on properties despite obvious problems and significant overbidding. All other properties were, according to them, 'very nice'. Note that we weren’t in a hurry and made this clear from the beginning. 3. They did not explain how they arrived at a suggestive offer and how leasehold status, energy labels, renovations, etc. were taken into account in the recommended offer. 4. After we won the bid, there was obvious haste on Joris’s part to close the deal. The building inspection was scheduled for the day we would be going on vacation for two weeks, we could hardly be present, and Joris wasn't either, and many critical issues were missed due to being in poor condition. Things that have cost us a lot of money to repair later. 5. No negotiation was suggested or attempted, not even after a building inspection where several problems had been addressed. We didn’t know if that was even possible; but good agents do it. 6. Poor assessment and review of documents (such as the MJOP). At the last minute, it turned out that the VVE reserve fund was only a quarter of the originally stated amount, and not sufficient to cover the planned maintenance and repairs. I was able to see this and understand it (although somewhat late), despite having just moved to the country. It proves they are not competent enough. 7. Most of our concerns were dismissed with typical sales pitches - concerns such as the disadvantages of a large VVE with one social housing association owning most of the apartments, and its impact on the value/demand of the apartments. 8. All our doubts and worries were confirmed by the bid book (after the sale was closed) - hardly any bids, while ours were significantly higher than the second-highest bid and so far the highest m2 price for a comparable apartment in our neighborhood. Our excessive reliance on an agent was our fault, we accept that, but worse were Joris’s repeated sales pitches, with the worst being: 'your offer will only lead to further price increases in this area, so you don't need to worry'; 'you would have thrown that extra money away on rent anyway' and 'many bids come in via email and phone and do not end up in the bid book'. So we unwittingly and unintentionally contributed further to this housing crisis, which we absolutely do not feel comfortable with. These are exactly the kind of agents you should avoid and people warn against. I have written this long and detailed review so that no one has to endure this bitter and stressful experience when buying their first home, like we did. Please invest your money in a more competent agent (if it’s really necessary) who puts his client's interests first. Most of the good reviews on Google seem dubious, and that also applies to a sales agent, which given the housing crisis is probably the easiest job in Amsterdam.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Remko, who assisted me throughout the entire purchasing process of my first house in De Pijp and supported me even after the purchase. Remko is professional yet approachable. Thanks to his clear explanations and practical approach, he is the person you would like by your side during your search through the labyrinth of the Amsterdam housing market. Thanks again Remko!

Danny was super helpful throughout the whole process of finding my new home. He really knows his stuff and gave expert advice every step of the way. It was clear he cared about helping me find the right place, not just any place. He explained everything clearly, was always quick to respond, and made the whole experience way less stressful than I expected. I felt supported and well-informed the entire time.

Great real estate agent. Helped me 15 years ago with the purchase and now with the sale of my apartment. Very pleasant guidance from both Remko and Danny. Both are super professional and friendly.
