All brokers in Nieuwaal

Good party acted quickly and accurately.

I did my first Dutch house viewing with Emiel in one of their properties. He was punctual, did fantastic work and answered all my questions. He was very professional. A real recommendation.

We recently purchased a new home and sold our own property with the assistance of Emiel from Makelaarskantoor Altena. From the first conversation, it felt familiar. Emiel turned out not only to be highly knowledgeable and reliable, but also remarkably accessible. At one point, we even wondered if he might secretly have an extra phone line running. His patience, involvement, and clear explanations helped us greatly during a tense journey. He thought along with us on all fronts and continuously gave us the feeling that we were in good hands. We particularly appreciated that. Through this channel, we would like to give him well-deserved praise for his dedication, professionalism, and friendly approach. Thank you, Emiel, for the pleasant cooperation!

We sold our house to Henk-Jan 25 years ago. Now we wanted to sell a house again and therefore wanted to get acquainted with several real estate agents. We hadn't forgotten the services of Henk-Jan, so we first called Dé Makelaars van Altena. When we were in contact, we were immediately enthusiastic again and didn’t need to look any further! Top service!

Our house in Aalst was sold by Henk-Jan Leijendekker. We experienced it as a particularly pleasant process. Simple and realistic, with time for more than just the sale. The selling price was close to the specified prognosis and we can wholeheartedly recommend this company!

This is now the third house that we have sold with the Real Estate Agents of Altena. It is always pleasant to work with them.

Well done!!!

Hello, We experienced it as friendly and welcoming.

Listens to the customer and tries to respond to this as well as possible.

This real estate agent appears knowledgeable and neat, but the man puts you manipulatively under pressure. He gives the buyer little time, a second viewing is not possible and later it turns out that he describes things more beautifully than they are. When showing around, he has no answer to critical questions and quickly walks through the house over them. We hear multiple complaints, both from buyers as well as sellers. Look around carefully, open all windows and close them again. Check the roof tiles and installations and underfloor heating and do not forget the crawl space. Afterwards you can save a lot of trouble, no one is waiting for (even though we are in our rights) legal conflicts. It's also not strange, according to his own statement this man sells only 6 houses per year. Not a recommendation for sellers and buyers, please be careful. Always do a second viewing. Jan the real estate agent. We are particularly disappointed in your approach.

Pleasant cooperation, clear in communication and always willing to think along.

Excellent first contact, great expertise, beautiful sales documentation and excellent guidance during the sales process with a nice result. The real estate agent has brought the sale negotiations to a successful sale with respect for both parties.

Friendliness and clear explanations about everything. His professional skills were very useful and excellent. We are very satisfied with them.

The sale was smooth and went well. Friendly staff, helpful and taking initiative where necessary.

Fine real estate agent with expertise. First period somewhat from a distance. Afterwards more actions deployed, such as an article in the newspaper and that really helped with the sale. Contact with the office was particularly pleasant.

The sale went smoothly and well, on a next purchase or sale we will definitely go back to Landerije

The contact went very well, quick sale and swift handling of the house sale. A beautiful catalog was made of the property and appointments were kept.

Few active brokers who put standard properties on the market too high to then gradually lower them until they are (hopefully) sold. In communication with buyers nonchalant, not involved and sometimes even very unprofessional (I was the buyer in the relevant file). PS (added on 30/07/2025): The response from the broker (and I quote, because who knows that response will be removed: “shame to receive such a review, but fortunately not from an actual client of our beautiful office”) unfortunately underscores exactly the point of my review: if you are not the one paying, you cannot expect involvement or decency from this agency. A missed opportunity for professionalism.

Contact ran through my husband but often via WhatsApp. Even when a viewing would take place within an hour, the real estate agent cancelled 20 minutes beforehand via a message instead of calling. And when a structural survey was carried out, he wasn't present and I had to walk alongside for an hour and a half and answer questions that I didn’t know, about things I knew nothing about. It was a very unpleasant situation where it would have been really nice to have a real estate agent there…

Honestly, genuinely helpful, supportive at critical decision-making moments and the entire procedure accessible, even outside of office hours!

Very pleasant contact with the real estate agent and his office. Friendly treatment. Good support and clear agreements. Nice to work with!

Everything went well and smoothly. A beautiful report of the house was made. Quick contact with Gernant and Patricia.

I had the pleasure of selling my apartment in the Cooltower through Real Estate Agency De Landrije. Under the inspiring leadership of Gernant and his dedicated team, the sales process proceeded remarkably smoothly and efficiently. Within no time my apartment was sold, which exceeded my expectations. Gernant is not only expert but also very accessible. He has a sharp eye for the market and knows exactly how to attract the right buyers. His professionalism…

Has good knowledge of the market segment but communication did not always go as desired (we noticed this both during our purchase and later during the sale via the same real estate agent). Especially when friction arises again at the end of the sales process, it leaves a nasty aftertaste instead of a positive feeling about the completion. In our opinion, the price/quality ratio is not correct.

Very pleasant collaboration! Everything was arranged very quickly and I can only say that the whole process has been excellent.

We have naturally already come a considerable way together, looking back on that, I can give many arguments that made the difference. You know, I naturally had my own beliefs when I arrived, you were already aware of that, but you've encountered all sorts of beliefs as well, up to this day. The mitigating circumstance for me is naturally that my beliefs are becoming more and more meaningful, through our collaboration. I started with you because I was running into all sorts of barriers, there was no progress in the weights I used for different exercises, the whole body wasn't being trained, I even forgot my calves. Following from this, you completed my training program, added substantive quality, and addressed all the obstacles we encountered. I was naturally afraid that it would shoot pain into my back, during deadlifts, which of course was nonsense, but a lot could still be developed. You taught me how to deal with aches and pains, if the pain was a 1, 2 or 3 on a scale of 10, and the pain went away within 2 days, then there wasn't really anything wrong, an important lesson for me. We also addressed my overweight. That was naturally somewhat a tricky issue, because this tricky client had indicated in advance that body weight wasn't the first priority. I must state that the weight was still a big challenge for me. I adjusted my eating pattern several times, but there were still small additions to what I ate, which occasionally crept in. That can happen when you’re in a relationship, you don’t entirely determine what you eat yourself. But I have noticed that I generally need less food than I ever thought possible. Slowly but surely, the desired weight gets closer, I now quickly notice when I start to go off track and can therefore anticipate faster. But yes, how do you as a coach actually deal with that, what can you do with it, how hard do you have to push, in what way can you still help people who are somewhat stuck, could you perhaps become discouraged by that as a coach? We certainly came out of it well, and yes, when it comes to body weight, it’s about discipline, and if you're getting older like I am, you burn less than someone aged 20. You can therefore also consume fewer calories. The latest major changes in the training schedule, where we are going to use the four-weekly program with increasing intensity, plus the much heavier weights regarding split squats and dumbbell bench press, are making significant progress quickly, I'm very happy about that. Concluding on our joint path concerning strength sports, I can state that it was mainly a lot of learning (and also unlearning). It has surprised me that the lessons often have to be repeated before they are absorbed, that surprised me, you think that if something is explained, then you know it and will continue to know it, but that turned out to be quite different. Mike had to repeat certain things emotionally very often, for example, the speed at which you perform exercises. You always tend to accelerate the execution, I don't know if that’s impatience. With Mike, I often managed to repeat a particular exercise 12 times. If Mike then unleashed his coaching, I was lucky if I could still manage 8. Concluding, I can state that Mike has greatly helped me forward, in terms of content. Furthermore, I would like to compliment him on how he dealt with me at the beginning. I started our collaboration at a time when my life had come into very turbulent waters, I owe a lot to Mike, he has taken his place in my support team, who pulled me through it, for which I naturally want to thank him.
