Damen Makelaars B.V.

I would advise everyone to be cautious with this real estate agent. The agent is only focused on one thing, which is his own portfolio. I had actually reached an agreement for a certain purchase price after viewing in Noordwijk by email. Subsequently, I sent all the documents to the bank and the documentation to this agent for the purchase agreement as he asked me. Until two weeks later, on a Friday at 12:15, I had sent my last documents and then received an email at 4:15 PM the same day stating: 'Sorry, but there is a higher bidder, so we are going with that party.' Incidentally, the agent has every right to do this since the purchase agreement was not yet finalized. However, it is very, very inhumane to dismiss me with a simple email. The agent should have contacted me (since we already had an agreement for a certain amount) to discuss the situation. Then I would still have had a chance to increase my offer. When I called Mr., or rather finally got through to him, after a heated discussion and a lot of explanation from my side regarding the aforementioned situation, he was indeed in agreement that he should have called me but left it at that. Mr. did not really make any effort to improve his actions towards me. A few days later, I had someone else call to see if the house was still available and received as a response: 'Yes, of course, but there are already offers.' Or while I could have gone higher with my offer in this way (if I wanted to), so that another set of people could be put aside after my opinion in an inconsiderate manner. Ultimately, I did not choose this option because I also find it unfair to others. In short, be careful with this agent because he does not care about humanity but only about his wallet. Best people, we all make mistakes, but making deliberate mistakes at the expense of families like mine is very wrong. I would advise the agent to reflect on this and hopefully learn something for the future! In addition to the agent's response below: Mr. Damen, you know just as well as I do that it did not go as you have sketched it out, but that you even lacked the respect to personally contact me after we had an agreement but instead dismissed me with a simple email. But well, it's your company.

Very bad real estate agent. First assigns you the house, and when everything is almost settled, the agent sends an impersonal message saying that there's a higher bid and that he will proceed with that without you being able to make a counteroffer. The agent really doesn't do his best for you. Conclusion: don't get into business with this real estate agent because if you think you've bought a house, you'll be without it again in no time.

Pleasant and professional contact, always easy to reach. Everything went very well from the beginning to the end.

Patrick is a good and experienced real estate agent with an understanding of the market. In addition, he is a pleasant person to work with.

This was the third time that I engaged Patrick Damen for the (sale) of a house. Every time, it's a pleasant experience to have a real estate agent with a lot of experience. Always friendly and kind, even when I am stressed.

The departure with Patrick Damen went smoothly; this man thinks along with you about small things and adjustments, also very helpful with filling in lists if you don't understand something, nothing was too much. We can certainly recommend Patrick Damen for the sale of your house or apartment!!

I am very satisfied with Patrick and real estate agency Damen from Noordwijk. Firstly, Patrick already thought along well with our situation and wishes from the initial consultation and provided sound advice. In addition, he was also guiding us regarding any potential risks lurking, such as determining the selling price. Secondly, he kept all his promises and completely relieved us of the sale of our house. Thirdly, the photographer that Damen real estate agents in…

Very mediocre people work at Damen, no pleasant experience with them, they deceive you, lie and are very unprofessional.

A terrible experience (at least for now), all the 'good' houses are booked 'immediately'. That only happens with them, it doesn't matter if you try to call, as soon as you have literally just seen the house, it's already fully booked within 'minutes'. Which is obviously a blatant lie. I understand that the market in the Netherlands is complex, but as I said before, this only happens with this company. I have already booked different houses with other companies, but with DAMEN it's literally impossible. At least for the good houses. Moreover, they don't answer the phone and don't respond to emails. A few months ago, before I even considered buying a house, I thought about renting. I contacted DAMEN and they sent me an email with the required information and documents. I replied, but to this day I still haven't received an answer. Last week I tried to book a viewing for a house that was already booked when I refreshed the app. That was on Friday. On Monday morning, I received an email notifying me that the house was fully booked. Which is literally impossible. I'm considering filing a complaint with the authorities.

Patrick is a good agent who is clear and expert and knows what he's talking about. I would recommend him as an agent.

After several months of perseverance, the apartment was finally sold. Patrick Damen neatly guided everything, and after a sales price reduction, Patrick managed to reach an agreement with buyers despite many visits, for which we are thankful.

Good realtor with a lot of attention to the history of the family and the property that was sold. Good advice and very involved in the sale. Can recommend him to everyone!

From initial sales contact to final sale, a professional and super friendly sales period, courteous. Simply excellent!

The contact went smoothly. Always willing, reachable and available. We could determine the progress and speed of the sales process ourselves.

Contact always kept appointments. Despite a difficult market situation, always realistic and positive. Knowledgeable about the regulations. Well advised regarding the redemption of the rental agreement.

The real estate agent advised and guided us very well from beginning to end. Took proactive initiative and represented us optimally in all areas.

Patrick has proven to be a friendly, human, but above all also business partner. And sharp in the negotiations with the purchasing party. The people at the office are friendly and act adequately. In short, a nice company in Noordwijk to go into business with ;)

First contact, introduction, very pleasant. Received clear information, to the point. Quickly made an appointment with a site visit. Efficient sales process with clear agreements. Smooth communication, accessible for every question, at all times. Handling as agreed. Business exceptionally correct.

Very fine broker with a good understanding of business. Delivered us a nice sum! Very satisfied with the communication.

Everything went well. Everything went well. Everything went well. Everything went well. Everything went well.

The contact was extremely pleasant and professional. This applies to both the real estate agent and his team. Real estate agent Damen knows his market, provided expert advice on preparing the house for sale, and together with his team he took care of a great presentation of the house. This was also evident in the interest shown, the result achieved, and the speed throughout the entire process. In short, very satisfactory.

Very professional and a very nice team for the sale of our house. Thanks again. Bea & Oskar

I have had regular contact. I was kept informed about the visit to the property. So very satisfied with this.

Contact with the real estate agent went very well. Contact was made quickly every time and I could go to them with all my questions.

Contact with the real estate agent was very pleasant. We searched for a long time for the right home for us, and the real estate agent helped us enormously with that.

Patrick Damen is an honest, expert and friendly man. The sales process went well. We are happy to recommend Damen!

After almost 26 years, requested information about the purchase from back then. Received the entire file digitally within half a day and nothing was charged for it. What service!

Very pleasant experience with these people! As a buyer of a house for which this company was the selling broker, I am very satisfied with the services of Damen. If I need a real estate agent myself in the future, I will definitely go to them.

Very pleasant experience

Always good

One of the better

Everything clear.

Professional appraisal arranged on very short notice, great communication, helped us out of a tight spot. Thanks!

As a real estate photographer, I regularly work with people from Damen Makelaardij and find this to be particularly pleasant. Regularly, I speak with the sellers and hear positive comments about the sale of the property. Personally, I would have them sell my home, and I think that says enough.
