Pleasant contact, with both the real estate agent and the ladies in the office. All very expert and helpful.
Edwin is a great, hands-on agent. Quick and pleasant contact. Room for consultation and personal input. Customer service oriented. Down-to-earth. Extensive all-around knowledge. Insight into the market. Very satisfied!
Contact with the broker was perfect. Much respect for broker E. Dekker! We received good help on all sides and were especially well guided regarding determining the selling price! The text accompanying the project deserved a lot of attention from our side. Makes sense because we know the details of the house best. But I can imagine that there would be a kind of checklist for those kinds of texts to ensure you don't forget anything beneficial to the sales process. …
We are extremely satisfied with the real estate agent from Het Betere Boerenerf regarding the sale of our farm. From the first contact, the communication was clear and professional. The agent had extensive knowledge of the housing market in rural areas and knew exactly how to best present our farm. Thanks to their expert advice, strategic approach, and broad network, we quickly found a suitable buyer. The entire sales process went smoothly and transparently, where we always felt well-informed and guided. We can wholeheartedly recommend Het Betere Boerenerf to anyone looking for a reliable and involved real estate agent in the rural sector!
A very fine real estate agent who understands the business, is easily accessible and thinks along with you, a specialist in the field of farmhouse estates, highly recommended 👍👍…
Edwin Dekker and his team helped and guided us very nicely in the sale of our farmhouse. Edwin was easily accessible during the process.
After a search, we ended up with this broker. It was expensive, but also the only one who wanted to sell our special plot of land. (Farm with catering facility) After posting on funda and our own website, 9 viewings were scheduled within 1 week! Although the first bid was somewhat low (the asking price), the broker still managed to convince us to accept this offer. We are okay with it, even though you naturally hope that your home will be significantly overbid. Tip: The personal attention you receive before working with this broker could also play a more prominent role in the subsequent process. Occasionally we felt like a number. Top. Many reactions to our funda posting and quickly found a buyer. All in all, satisfied with the service provided.
For the exorbitantly high commission we received, we didn't get the quality we expected, but rather a kind of do-it-yourself package. Although very friendly, Elwin was complacent, lazy and incompetent. We were not taken care of at all and had to do a lot ourselves: from writing advertising text to correcting artist impressions. Even a second viewing he tried to have us do ourselves. When it became complicated with a buyer who did not fulfill his obligations, his knowledge proved insufficient and he was also not motivated to obtain the necessary information. Due to his blundering and mistakes, we as sellers ended up in a legally very complex situation and even had to hire a lawyer. We withdrew the assignment from Het Betere Boerenerf to limit further damage and risks and nevertheless paid him the previously agreed salary. After that, we sold the house independently. Apparently not hindered by any shame or decency, he still sent us an invoice with the full commission, as if the work had been done by him. In the meantime, we were so exhausted by all the misery that we only wanted peace and agreed to a settlement. We have come to know Elwin as a real estate agent who wants to make as much money as possible with as little effort as possible, regardless of the result for his client. He wraps this in beautiful promises, amicable dealings and the illusion that he is on your side. Don't fall for it!
Recently, we sold our farmhouse with the help of Betere Boerenerf. We received good advice and Elwin always thought along with us. Elwin was available for all our questions and was efficient in his actions. The sale went very smoothly and quickly.
For the purchase of a farmhouse, we searched for a suitable real estate agency and ended up with Betere Boerenerf. And that turned out to be an excellent choice because we were completely taken care of during the purchase and received good advice about the (future) opportunities and risks. The administrative actions were also completely handled for us. Due to this positive experience, we also chose Betere Boerenerf for the sale of our farmhouse and were once again exceeded in our expectations: well guided to make our house ready for sale and our property was put on the market in an excellent way. The number of viewings increased rapidly and we were able to sell above expectations to a family who truly appreciates our house and neighborhood. I wish everyone who experiences this emotional and stressful period a nice realtor like Elwin who listens well to you, takes care of everything and continues until everything is perfect: only an excellent result counts!
At Het Betere Boerenerf you experience how real estate brokerage should be. A reliable and involved team that is always ready to help you.

What truly distinguishes this brokerage are the fine people who work with genuine attention and passion for their profession. If you are looking for a real estate agent you can fully trust, then Het Betere Boerenerf is definitely recommended!

Extremely pleasant collaboration in the successful search for our new home. Accessible outside of regular business hours for questions, a high level of service, and I greatly appreciate that. And also pleasant, no-nonsense people.
Very quickly and well assisted. Keeps appointments and does what he says. Contacted three brokers, this one is by far the best.
Together with Het Betere Boerenerf our farm was sold in no time. Clear communication throughout the sales process and realistic expectations. Very happy with them!
Professional, reliable and customer-friendly What are we glad that we took Het Betere Boerenerf into hand. Registration was very easy Professional, cooperative, honest, realistically critical with knowledge of the matter and in addition all employees are also very adequate and pleasant to deal with. After viewing a number of homes together with the purchasing broker, we managed to get our dream place in quite a short time Het Betere Boerenerf is a real, real recommendation!
Last year, unfortunately had to sell my own built home. Despite this difficult situation, this real estate agent handled it superbly with a lot of understanding, knowledge and expertise. For next time, this will again be my real estate agent.
Recently I sold my home with the help of Het Betere Boerenerf and I cannot but express my satisfaction and enthusiasm about their professional and personal approach. From the first contact I felt understood and at ease. Maarten and Edwin personally came by for an introduction and took the time to discuss my wishes and expectations and came up with a clear strategy to market my house optimally. With attention to detail, the photos and description were of top quality, which made the presentation of my home really stand out from the offer. Within no time a suitable buyer was found, partly thanks to the proactive attitude and communication of the real estate agent. In addition, the real estate agent kept me constantly informed of every step in the process. Whether it was about viewings, bids or further negotiations, I always felt well informed and involved. In short, super satisfied and the sale exceeded my expectations. The expertise, customer focus and clear communication makes Het Betere Boerenerf an absolute recommendation for anyone looking for a reliable, result-oriented and engaged real estate agent!
Very good experience with Het Betere Boerenerf. Good communication, for example direct feedback after viewings. Also regularly informed by Edwin about the status of affairs during the process between preliminary sale and final sale. Pleasant to deal with but certainly also skilled. Recommended
Perfect service, friendly staff at the office. Clear feedback. Honest and knowledgeable realtor. All in all a great sale for both parties 😊a realtor who is every cent worth it.
Nice realtor, unique due to their specialization which they more than deliver on. I recommend this realtor. For my next sale or purchase, I will definitely return.
We have sold 2 special properties through this realtor, a farmhouse with an additional residence and an “island.” They are friendly, helpful, and competent. Super satisfied!
For us, in the choice of a real estate agent for the sale of our farmhouse, it is very important that there must be a connection. After all, it's not just about a business but also a very personal journey. We felt that connection immediately with Edwin; a young, serious entrepreneur who understands the subject and senses the client well (not only us as sellers but also the buyer), gets things done efficiently, keeps appointments and is always there for you! His open attitude makes a g...
The house sold for more than we thought, the guidance was excellent. The buyer is very happy with it, which is what we wanted.
Contact with the real estate agent went as desired from beginning to end. Given our particular situation, we were completely taken care of by the real estate agent.
We are very pleased with the real estate agent, we experienced the contact during the sale and settlement as pleasant.
Through the real estate agent Betere Boerenerf, we sold the house of our deceased father. It went very smoothly and everyone thought along with us. Contact was easy and questions were answered quickly. A welcome help for us in this time!!
Meanwhile, 2 objects sold through this broker and everything went smoothly in both cases. They are friendly, driven, maintain contact, and honor their commitments. We are very satisfied with this broker.
Experienced the contact with the team as very pleasant. The plans were changed during the sales process. This turned out favorably, partly due to the expert guidance, their house and building plot were sold quickly.
The real estate agency has very service-oriented employees and, last but not least, they guided the sales process well and took the seller along with them.
Edwin and his team understand the trade exceptionally well. The support and communication were very pleasant. If you would like to buy or sell a farmhouse, I wholeheartedly recommend them!
The broker is always easy to reach and follows through on appointments made. Accommodates the seller's wishes.
More than a year ago, we sold our farmhouse through Het Betere Boerenerf. We asked for quotes from several real estate agents at the time and ultimately chose this agency despite it being the most expensive. This led us to expect that we would be fully taken care of and provided with all advice. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. We were confronted with a hefty fine because Het Betere Boerenerf did not mention the energy label back then. We raised this issue with Het Betere Boerenerf. Long story short: they are unresponsive. The fine is for us. In short, an expensive real estate agency but the added value escapes us. A small follow-up: the realtor contacted us long after this review. He stated that his response was delayed because he first had to recover from such a review. Furthermore, his reaction was the same as with other negative reviews I find on the site. Namely, it's the customer’s fault and certainly not Het Betere Boerenerf’s. Moreover, he does want satisfied customers but only when the bill is with the customer and remains with the customer.
The contact proceeded smoothly and was experienced as pleasant. The expectation was initially set too high. After revising the selling price, the property was sold quickly.
When selling our house, we chose this office, they were by far the most expensive but had the best sales pitch. Ultimately, an insufficient rating for their services because no energy label was arranged and we received a significant fine for it here. We thought we would be taken care of 100%... unfortunately:( We gave them the opportunity to resolve this properly but that unfortunately did not succeed.
The real estate agent had our house for sale in 2022 but not definitively sold. We personally do not have a good experience with this company.
We approached Het Betere Boerenerf real estate agency at the time for the sale of our home. After making an appointment on short notice, they came immediately, thoroughly and reliably to us. Answers were quickly provided to all our questions, even outside office hours. The guidance during the purchase of our new home was also excellent. A true recommendation for everyone who wants to sell their farmhouse through a dedicated real estate agent!
We've had a lot of experiences with different real estate agents for other transactions, but this one was a pleasant surprise for us. Clear agreements were made, which were also meticulously kept. Practical and solution-oriented thinking was provided during the sales process, and we were promptly and thoroughly informed whenever there was something to report on progress and status. Even a phone call when there's been nothing to report for a while, and that's nice too. A short line with the real estate agent himself, who...
This realtor has a lot of knowledge in the category our house falls under and is very committed to a quick sale; you can even contact them in the evening hours and receive a response.
Highly skilled and good guidance throughout the sales process. Always accessible and they respond quickly to questions asked. No remarks to be made about Het Betere Boeren Erf.
Throughout the entire sales process, I had good contact with the real estate agent. Also in the final phase where we had even more frequent contact. Always responded adequately. In short, very satisfied with Het Betere Boerenerf.
Very pleasant contact. Correct a few minor imperfections. The guidance was very correct, simply fantastic
Contact, accessibility and communication excellent. Strategic deployment also good. Initially advised asking price was too high. Quite substantial brokerage fee.
Contact with the broker went smoothly. Broker provided good advice and knowledge of the local market. In short, satisfied sellers!
The team was competent in my opinion. Agreements were kept. You felt supported by professionals. The result was better than I expected.
Nothing but praise for this realtor. Very knowledgeable and relevant, involved, open to our wishes regarding appointments, communication always pleasant. I immediately asked them to also act as a purchasing realtor because I have confidence in them too.
Large farmhouse (with leasehold) has been for sale since September 2018. But no buyers. Since August 2022 with The Better Farmstead. Since then, a continuous stream of viewers and ultimately a buyer. Good job
Expert, service-oriented and good communication. Correct handling of made appointments. Highly recommended as a sales or purchase broker.
Edwin and Maarten excellently guided the sale. They took everything into account. If you want to sell or buy a farmhouse, please contact the office. Friendly and professional.
We have no positive experience with this real estate agent. We were interested in a house and both fairly free from work to attend a viewing appointment. Unfortunately, there was traffic along the way. We called the real estate agent to see if we could arrive later and they said it probably would be possible. I indicated that I would prefer to know beforehand if we couldn't come, so we could turn around in time and go home. No, it probably would be possible. Ultimately, we were called and told that the real estate agent had to go home after all. In the meantime, we had been on our way for 1.5 hours (with another 30 minutes to go) and could make a U-turn and drive back for 1.5 hours. Of course, I understand that they can't wait for us forever, but they should have said that earlier, because we already knew there would be traffic at the time of departure (via Google Maps!) and we had called immediately. We are really frustrated by this! Especially the lack of clear communication! This costs us time and (fuel) money!
Great, keep me posted please
I hope to buy a nice farm someday and then Het Betere Boerenerf will definitely be my realtor...although I would also really like to make some photo,s/videos for the website
