Very nice that I had engaged the services of DVA real estate agents for buying a home. The purchase of the house went quickly and very smoothly thanks to DVA real estate agents. Highly recommended, they are professional, pleasant in communication, knowledgeable about the current housing market, and ready to help you get the best possible outcome when buying a property.

We experienced the collaboration with DVA brokers as very pleasant and professional. Equipped with the right information, the house was sold!

Very disappointing experience with DVA Makelaardij – not recommended for (sellers) and buyers I unfortunately do not recommend DVA Makelaardij based on my personal experience. From the beginning of the collaboration, there was clear communication about my sales conditions, including a minimum selling price. Nevertheless, after months of viewings, only one offer was presented that significantly fell below that limit – contrary to our prior agreements. What I find even more distressing is that I was pressured to accept this low offer or otherwise abandon the sale, while I had explicitly rejected this offer and confirmed it via WhatsApp. Instead of protecting my interests as a customer, it seemed that the broker’s own interest took precedence. After terminating the assignment, I received an invoice for an amount that is much higher than what we had previously agreed upon if the sale did not proceed. Attempts at substantive communication about this have been ignored or answered without clear justification. For other homeowners or buyers: be careful and document all agreements in writing. My experience with DVA Makelaardij was far from professional and has mainly resulted in frustration and legal hassle. Dear Mr. Van Aalst, Thank you for your response to my review and your explanation of the course of our collaboration. I would like to correct several factual inaccuracies and misunderstandings: Threat of negative review It is incorrect that I threatened a negative review. I indicated in our contact that if no reasonable solution were found for my objections, I might consider sharing my experience publicly – something which is my right as a consumer. This is not a threat, but a logical step when there is no response to reasonable objections. My choice to stop After 12 viewings in 3 months, no second viewings took place. The only offer presented was far below my asking price and was brought without further context or written explanation, after which the withdrawal of the sale was immediately discussed. Withdrawal costs and invoice When signing the agreement, the withdrawal costs were not explicitly discussed. The bill you subsequently sent was considerable and came as a surprise to me. I then made you a reasonable counter-proposal of 25% of the amount, as compensation for the work performed. Your categorical rejection of this, without any willingness to negotiate, does not reflect the customer-oriented attitude that you describe in your letter. Arbitration Committee My consideration of possibly submitting the case to the NVM Arbitration Committee is not intended as pressure, but as a logical consequence when a disagreement cannot be resolved through mutual consultation. You qualify this as “extortion,” but I consider it invoking a neutral assessment. I regret that you choose to dismiss my experiences and feedback as part of a broader trend of “pressure via the internet.” My review reflects my personal experience with your office and is intended to inform other consumers, just as positive reviews do. Finally, I wish you all the best in your further work as a broker. I would have preferred a different outcome, but I hope that this response helps to correctly present my side of the story. Sincerely, Richard Russell
