Professional and customer-friendly handling.
Good realtor with a clear story for the sale of your house.
All credits to Bart Giesen of Hestia Makelaars & Taxateurs. Through him, we sold our house in Nijmegen from a distance of 140 kilometers from Maastricht within 2 weeks and at a very good price. Without ever having had personal contact. Everything was arranged, initiated, and completed by him via telephone and email to our full satisfaction. I found the contact with Bart remotely very pleasant. Bart comes across as neat, keeps his appointments, gives good advice, and quickly and accurately provides feedback on results. In short: Bart, chapeau!
Excellent guidance. Everything as desired and goal achieved.
Recommended for a real estate agent in Nijmegen
Bart helped us tremendously with the purchase of our first home. Bart is always available and provides expert advice. Absolutely recommended!
I would definitely recommend Hestia Makelaars, especially Bart Giesen for me personally. I have had constant contact with him and he responds adequately and quickly. In addition, I got the feeling that he wanted to “help along” to get a home as soon as possible, and this succeeded. Something that is not very easy in Nijmegen. Thank you Hestia!
Nice to see that there are still companies where the human touch applies. Lots of personal attention and guidance. Kind and enthusiastic employees. Can recommend it to everyone!
Top realtor! Did everything and much more when selling my vacation home when the sale seemed to fall through because the buyer couldn't proceed. Luckily, everything worked out well but that would absolutely not have been possible without the efforts of Mr. Giesen.
Recommended for a realtor in Nijmegen. Very nice to work with.
We recently had an appraisal done by Stephan from Hestia and we are very pleased. Stephan took the time to carefully review everything and explained exactly what he encountered in the property. It felt very familiar and he was super clear in his explanation. We definitely recommend Hestia for anyone looking for a buyer's agent and/or reliable appraiser!
Excellent arrangement by this realtor, very personal and involved, and provides a lot of feedback and support with the sale of the house
I have previously had very positive experiences with the purchase of my house. Now I've received lovely guidance again during both the purchase and sale of my house. Easy to reach, always willing to do that little bit extra. Definitely recommended!
Excellent service from Bart Giesen and the Hestia team for buying and selling. Professional, easily accessible, customer-focused and courteous. Fair rate. Pleasant experience.
We have already bought and sold several houses with Hestia. A top team. And they always go the extra mile, in my opinion.
Good and personal guidance in the sale of my house by Bart and Siegrid! Contact at the right time in a pleasant and involved way. I would definitely recommend Hestia!
We can certainly recommend Hestia. Good communication, quick feedback after viewings and very customer-friendly. Extensive knowledge of the local housing market. Also excellent handover of files during vacation period. Thank you, Bart, Arre and Siegrid!
Bart helped us very well with the sale of our house in Wijchen. The contact was very pleasant and thanks to a number of good suggestions, there was extra activity during the viewings. Thank you!
Stephan wonderfully guided us on behalf of Hestia during the sale of the apartment. Personal attention, clear communication and advice, but also space for our own ideas were mutually appreciated.
Good experiences with Hestia. Pleasant to communicate with and able to switch incredibly quickly. Also, good thought was put into it. Our house was sold within a week with Bart as our sales broker.
Hestia has guided us wonderfully well during the sale. The fast and accessible communication, the substantiation and clarity of the advice, the openness to our ideas and sense of what was important to us, ensured a lot of peace and confidence in the process. Frans van Agt
With praise. Bart is a very nice agent. Everything to the last detail. A big 10!
Very good contact always with Bart Giesen, open and professional attitude.
good information and advice throughout the entire sales process
Great company. They handle my affairs perfectly and work completely or without fuss. I can wholeheartedly recommend Hestia.
We were very well assisted by Hestia. Our house was sold within a week and everything went smoothly. They are always accessible and no question is too much. A recommendation in the Nijmegen region.
My experience with Hestia has only been positive. Very nice and customer-focused service with good communication and advice. In addition to that, friendly employees who were always ready to help. Definitely recommended!
Pleasant to deal with and good market knowledge. Definitely recommended!
We were extremely well assisted by Hestia, both in the sale of our old house and the purchase of a new home. Pleasant communication, quick follow-up and quality advice.
Hestia fantastically supported us in the sale of our house and simultaneously in the purchase of a new home. Integritet, involved, patient and expert!
We met Bart during a viewing of a house. There was an instant connection. Bart helped us very well with the sale of the house, he kept us well informed throughout the process and it was very pleasant to work with Bart. He also gave advice on buying a house, without sending an invoice for it. His advice was very valuable. Thank you Bart!
Great company with top service. Knows the market like the very best!
I can only describe my experiences with Hestia as positive. On the one hand, good advice and professionalism, and on the other hand, the friendliness of the employees. If the situation arises, I will definitely return there as a customer.
Pleasant, customer-focused service at Hestia! Think along, are solution-oriented, know the market and act quickly. Exactly what I expect from a good real estate agent.
Bart Giessen from Hestia real estate approached me when there was talk of selling our house. After a conversation, we had a very good feeling, and we asked Bart to take care of the sale of the house for us. Everything has been perfectly arranged by Bart so far, the transfer is on November 1st, and onwards to our new place, an apartment in Living Inn Lent Nijmegen. As far as fixed, thank you very much for everything.
Good contact with Bart during the entire sales process of our apartment.
Meanwhile moved but glad not to have to deal with this company anymore. Worthless as a landlord/manager. You can chase them up 100 times, and you have to invest extreme effort and time to get anything done.
What a terrible organization. Broken into our 'secured garage' for the second time in a year tonight. If you ask for a camera installation or a door that isn't simply unscrewed, you are told to put your problem with Hestia. Time for legal action.
Good contact with the real estate agent, short lines of communication. In addition, he was knowledgeable and gave us good advice. I would definitely recommend this real estate agent!
We are extremely satisfied with the service provided by Arre. From the first contact, it was immediately apparent how knowledgeable he is and how well he understands the housing market. Thanks to that knowledge, we were able to sell our house quickly and for a good price. What we particularly appreciated was that he was always available for questions or consultation – even outside of office hours. That gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire sales process.. and we really felt well guided from beginning to…

The contract went well.. a driven real estate agent. That's what I like. He did his job very well and arranged everything smoothly.
Contact with Bart was good, he communicated clearly and quickly, regardless of the time. His work resulted in the desired outcome!
Had a very pleasant contact with Stevan. Also bought my house with Stevan 22 years ago and now sold it again. It was a super good collaboration. Very satisfied with the contact, selling price and all guidance around the house. Greetings Paulien
Contact with Bart went smoothly and seamlessly; he clearly explained what we could expect and how the sale and the entire process would proceed. The house sold quickly.
Throughout the entire process, I have nothing but praise. The communication was friendly and accurate, and the sale went smoothly.
Hestia, the entire team is easily accessible, friendly, helpful and customer-focused. Excellent assistance received.
We are very pleased with our experience with Hestia as a buyer's agent. A professional and pleasant office. Recommended for anyone looking for an estate agent!
The apartment was sold quickly and at a very good price. It was a good choice to invite interested parties to make an offer via MOVE. This resulted in a short and clear procedure. Real estate agent Siebelink is pleasant and competent. The agreements made are clear and honored.
Good guidance, also contacts via phone and apps. Nice realtor, lots of market knowledge, helpful
Pleasant and results-oriented partner who has been successfully working for us for years. The knowledge of the market is tailored to our request. Communication runs optimally
Contact with the real estate agent was excellent. Can recommend this real estate agent. Perhaps it would be good to allow a little more time to fill out forms, but that also had to do with the fact that the owner of the sold property lives abroad.
The guidance and consultation were excellent. I was impressed by the quick actions taken after a near sale failed. It still led to a good sale.
Good contact. Good knowledge of the market which meant the broker immediately came with a proposal on how to organize the sale. Initially, registrations were somewhat disappointing but after a buyer withdrew their bid, there was a new opportunity and the broker indicated confidence and delivered on that confidence. A good match with the buyer as well.
I find Bart to be a very skilled real estate agent! He really thinks along with you and is open and honest. He's also friendly and arranges everything quickly and well. Truly recommended!
Nice and friendly realtor. Works quickly, responds quickly to messages. A few small errors in the advertisement were corrected very quickly.
Excellent contact, expertise and a realistic view of the selling price. I can recommend it to everyone, Hestia is an excellent real estate agent!
Good and friendly realtor with expertise. The sale went very smoothly, partly due to the realtor's professionalism.
Very active and pleasant realtor throughout the entire process. Pays attention to both seller and buyer, which ensures a smooth process. Again with Hestia Realtors next time.
Good guidance when selling a house. Easy to reach, honest and expert advice. Definitely recommended!
Our house was sold quickly by Hestia. We are very satisfied with the service, everything went as wished. Thanks to Arre Kateman, everything went smoothly. Our thanks for that.
Very nice contact. Good service and sold the house both times within a week. For my feeling, they go just one step further for you.
Good contact with the real estate agent, easy through the app. Will be taken along to viewings. Ultimately, a beautiful house was purchased!
Good and fast communication, the real estate agent thinks along with you, gives good advice about the offer. This is something that can be very difficult in the current market. Also during the viewings, they clearly pointed out points in the houses that we ourselves did not notice. It's nice to have a different perspective on certain things during the viewings. All in all, recommended for buying a house in this difficult market!
Everything went great. The agent was very accessible, well informed and provided excellent service and was friendly.
Good and fast communication, the agent thinks along with you, gives good advice about the offer which is very difficult in this market. Also during the viewings, they clearly pointed out points in the houses that we ourselves did not notice.
Good contact and good assessments. Now a sentence of a maximum of 37 characters, assessing that is really annoying.
I have experienced Bart Giesen of Hestia makelaars & taxateurs as a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable real estate agent who knows what he's talking about. I was surprised by the extent to which he could put himself in the shoes of both the buyer and seller in order to provide optimal guidance. Therefore, I would wholeheartedly recommend him to potential new clients.
Contact with the real estate agent was very good, he is knowledgeable and has a lot of understanding of the market. We are very satisfied with how things were arranged.
Hestia provides personal attention. Collaboration is appreciated and they also think along with you. Easily accessible.
Our purchasing broker Bart from Hestia was easily accessible, expert, and he thought along well with us. He indicated when a property wasn't actually interesting for your situation or prevented you from making an offer that was too high because the property simply wasn't worth it. Ultimately, with his help we managed to acquire a dream home below the asking price. We didn't know anymore that this was still possible in this time. Also his colleagues of Hestia are extremely profess...
We took Hestia into our hands because they know a lot about the local market. Bart, our real estate agent, has proven himself to be a professional. Much knowledge, pleasant to deal with and quick to respond. From taking photos to selling our house in just two weeks. Very satisfied. Recommended.
Very pleasant communication throughout the entire process. It was possible to speak in plain language, making all steps clear. The estimation of the asking price was good.
Excellent initial contact and communication both ways. Short lines of communication. Knowledgeable and open to input and discussion. Satisfied with the end result.
Engaged and proactive. Together with Bart, we went through the entire process from searching to purchase. He was very good and flexible in his availability, even outside of office hours. Wishes are well understood and you receive an honest answer about what is and isn't possible. Also, excellent support after the purchase. Overall, the guidance provided by Hestia has been a great added value for us!
Clear agreements, clear and fast communication. Very expert and pleasant friendly guidance
Bart is a professional realtor who answers questions quickly and clearly and is very customer-focused.
Bart is a professional realtor who answers questions quickly and clearly and is very customer-focused.
Pleasant informal contact and I experienced the broker as very active. He kept me informed of developments without being asked, proactively.
Excellent service, superb communication, you can't expect more from a real estate agent. Highly recommended.
Bart from Hestia Realtors helped us very well and pleasantly with the purchase of our first home. We were properly involved in the process, and he was present during the viewing where we received great advice. Even after this, Bart remained engaged and is always available for questions. Definitely recommended!
Bart is a great realtor! He shares his knowledge and expertise and is very pleasant to work with. He provides good feedback and communicates very well. He has sold 2 houses for me and I am super happy with how he did it. A solid 10!
Very professional and knowledgeable. In addition, extremely customer-friendly. All worries taken out of your hands. Truly recommended!
Good feeling when deciding whether or not to proceed following a viewing. Same during the negotiation process. During these 'decision moments' good communication back and forth. Keeping the process well, professionally and fairly in view. Always keeping achievable goals in mind and adjusting (proposals for) if necessary. In summary: When it comes down to it, be present and act. Don't waste energy on things that don't matter. 'No calling just to call', no bureaucrati...
Pleasant communication throughout the process. It's nice to work with a realtor who thinks along well, provides professional advice and responds very quickly to questions.
Arre Kateman (Hestia Nijmegen) has guided us well throughout the entire sales process. He handled this for our mother of 80+ with complete transparency and at her pace, taking all her wishes into account.
Very fine and expert real estate agent. Took initiative and 'relieved' us from start to finish. Pleasant to communicate with.
As far as I'm concerned, it was very pleasant to work with this real estate agent. They were always very clear in their answers and are also very good and easy to reach, both the agent themselves and the office. Especially through the office, I always felt supported.
It was pleasant searching for a home with Arre. He is direct, expert, knows the market and advises well. The search with him led to the purchase of a good apartment in quite a short time.
good realtor, flexible, expert and pleasant to deal with responds quickly, we can recommend this realtor
Professional guidance of the sales process with knowledge of the local market and an eye for the specific wishes of the seller. Both the broker themselves and the office responded quickly and adequately.
Expert and personal approach, no 9 to 5 mentality, transparent. Applies to the entire sales process, including the photos.
Only praise for Hestia, especially for Arre and Siegrid. Again very well guided in the sale (and purchase) of our home. Easy to contact, personal and always respond very quickly. Thank you!
We had good contact with Arre throughout the entire sale. From the initial stages to the final day of sale, he consistently provided support and treated potential buyers with respect. Also, those who weren't successful were called nicely.
With Arre, we had easy contact throughout the entire process. He thinks along and is realistic. In addition, Arre has a sense of humor.
do their work well>>I had no worries and complaints, everything was arranged perfectly, Hestia is my broker again next time if needed
More frequently used the services of Hestia and every time we are helped to our satisfaction. They actively think along with you and the communication is excellent, always a quick and clear response. Thanks again!
We were very well assisted by Hestia and sold our house within a week. We recommend everyone in the Nijmegen area to work with them.
Contact proceeded as desired. Took into account my mother's advanced age. Very pleasant!
Reliable and expert, following through on appointments gives you a pleasant feeling and peace of mind; the real estate agent keeps you well informed about what's going on.
Pleasant to deal with. No show-off. Good knowledge of the area. Easily accessible for questions. Neat in conversation. Ample intermediate contacts.
Stephan has a good understanding of the local market and business acumen. The contact with us went smoothly.
Good and friendly staff.
Accessible, approachable, flexible, decisive, reliable, clear agreements and keeps appointments. In short a top realtor.
Very pleasant. Always responded quickly to messages. Really looked at what the property can generate. Nice communication.
Expert guidance and a lot of extra effort from Stephan and Siegrid. Communication proceeded pleasantly and responses were quick to questions. The property was owned by half of my former partner, so the real estate agent had to communicate with both parties.
The broker imposed impossible demands under threat of sanctions. The broker repeatedly lied (demonstrably). The broker was unwilling to answer questions or provide clarification on matters. The broker pressured us to make false statements. The broker shared highly sensitive personal information with others who had an interest in it. The broker insulted and disadvantaged us. We have never been treated like this before, and we are still astonished. The sequel gaa…
Everything went favorably, however, the time to finalize the funding had to be extended twice and became 9.5 weeks. I experienced a lot of stress from this.
We were extremely well assisted by Hestia, both in the sale of our old house and the purchase of a new home. Pleasant communication, quick follow-up and quality advice.
just good, just good, just, good simply, good simply, good simply, justgood, just good, just good, just good
It all went very smoothly. The realtor looked at other sold properties and, together with the appraisal report, determined the selling price. My apartment was sold very quickly. Very nice!
Good direct communication via email, WhatsApp and mobile. Arre is directly reachable and responds quickly. The entire sales process only took 3.5 weeks.
The sales process through Hestia went very smoothly; from the first conversation to the actual sale, we were well guided and advised.
Pleasant experience with the sale of our apartment. Knowledgeable, calm but decisive and no nonsense. Both the real estate agent and the secretariat are correct and friendly people.
Very good experience with real estate agent Arre Kateman. He shares a lot of information without immediately sending an invoice for it. He thinks along well, doesn't push you in one direction but really listens. Highly recommended.
Great service very active. Very good knowledge of the subject matter. A very good guidance.
great help, both with finding and purchasing our new house, as well as selling our old house, very satisfied
Professional company. Kind appraiser.
Contact received with Ms. Wouters following interest in a specific residential area. 2 months later, contacted by phone by Ms. Wouters with the message that a house was being offered in said district. Great service from Ms. Wouters!
Not frugal with employees. In my opinion, there's a lot of turnover. It always has a cause.
Fast feedback and good service. Both the brokerage, management and maintenance departments provide this service time after time. Recommended for everyone!
Good realtor! All our questions about the houses could be answered so easily. What service. Pleasant employees, all very friendly and engaged. Especially that young lad, already very knowledgeable about everything despite his early career. I heard he was still studying, good luck!
My realtor for 30 years and wouldn't want to work with anyone else! Quality perfect and very reliable.
Terrible service. We've been waiting for more than 4 months for our deposit, how difficult can it all be..
Very bad, no callback after calling multiple times. Also, emails are not answered.
Pleasant to work with!
With this letter, I want to rectify my negative remarks about Hestia...I was too quick with my judgment! Apologies for that!! I have always been treated well and they contributed to a bill I received from the notary after 2 years and about which I was angry! Too quick with my judgment then, and that wasn't nice! My 2 houses were sold quickly and the service was excellent, and I recommend everyone to take Hestia as a real estate agent. Greetings Mja Klaassen
Approximately 1.5 years ago, I got in contact with Hestia real estate agents to view a house. A pleasant and skilled agent who helped us well throughout the entire process. In addition, Hestia also chairs our VVE meetings, and they do that very well too. Very satisfied with Hestia!
Not recommended, I tried to rent a house through this agency. 0.0 flexibility in the times when the house can be viewed, an agent who is only available three days a week and very difficult to arrange something on a Saturday. Spent three weeks trying to schedule a viewing, two appointments cancelled/rescheduled by the agent. Ultimately, the house was rented through another route and passed me by.
Results are based on the last 12 months.
