Correct communication via their website as well as by phone, with punctual appointments, both at the start of the rental and upon termination of the lease agreement and handover. However, Xpat Xpert defends ONLY the interests of the landlord (landlord). Despite a perfectly cleaned apartment upon handover, confirmed by photos and a signed handover statement (signed by an employee of Xpat Xpert), part of the deposit was withheld. Xpat Xpert has not heard anything more about this matter. Complete radio silence despite repeated requests for clarification as to the reason for this, as well as their support for the tenant, given the signed handover statement. Still a disappointing end to the rental agreement!

Some time ago I was invited for a viewing. For this, I traveled to Leiden, sent all my documentation, and was greeted kindly. Unfortunately, after that, I never heard anything more. I repeatedly tried to make contact, both by email and telephone, but I was never answered. I find this a very unsocial situation; I invest effort, time and money in the procedure only to hear nothing!

I feel very reassured because if I have a problem in the house that I rent, I can call the team and they will help me immediately or suggest what I should do. This is very important as an expat.

Everything went smoothly, except for the settlement of an apartment, where the agency acting as an intermediary could not provide an explanation as to why I did not receive the full deposit back. To prevent my problem, make sure you have a signed and agreed-upon sheet at hand during the final inspection of the apartment detailing what needs to be repaired/cleaned before handing over the keys.

Xpat has been renting out my apartment for years. Despite the turnover of tenants not being so frequent, I am very satisfied with the service.

Professional, customer-friendly! You are given the space to think quietly, do not have to draw anything immediately. Very satisfied with the collaboration!

Good service, friendly and without extra costs. Even helped with setting up utilities and internet.

Another agency that charges the infamous 'administrative costs' to tenants who found the property advertisement themselves on the xpat xpert website. Someone who can sleep well at night even after robbing expats blind during the day has a very flawed character. Avoid at all costs, or simply refuse to pay the administrative costs!!

Excellent realtor. I have known Kevin Vink for years as a very professional realtor. Highly recommended.

We needed a house for a short stay and Mischa was very helpful. When we couldn't secure the first house we were interested in, Mischa helped us find another house that we wouldn't have found ourselves. This house is perfect for us. The communication was fast, friendly, and professional.

Mischa was incredibly helpful: professional, friendly and fast. Thanks to him, I found a great apartment much faster than I expected. Highly recommend!

It was a pleasant experience to rent a property through Finke Makelaars in Leiden. From the first interaction, the contact was personal, and they took the time to consider our individual situation. Celine is a friendly and accessible contact person, and her colleagues were also kind and helpful.

Mischa was my letting agent and I can highly recommend him. Extremely professional, friendly, fast, personal, and driven. Thanks to him, I quickly found a home through his network. Truly many thanks, Mischa, for your commitment to us. Because of you, we were able to break the streak of 10 months of searching in just 2 weeks.

Great, tidy, nice

Great experience with Finke real estate agents, quick and super friendly contact. Thanks for the house!

Everything was perfect!

I collaborated with Vera and after months of searching, we finally managed to secure a house in Leiden. I felt that Vera really understood my situation. She answered all my questions clearly and was generally a great help throughout the process! :)

We have already rented out three apartments through Flinke Makelaars. Besides their professionalism and customer focus, they are also very proactive. I experience this last point as a particular plus point.

Agent Vera was very kind and accommodating, all information was effectively communicated and the room is super beautiful!

They are friendly and helpful when they communicate with you. Had some problems with the new apartment, according to real estate agents it was a short circuit that would be resolved within a few hours (took much longer), had to contact them multiple times to get it resolved. Edit: it's now 5 months since I moved into this apartment and I still don't have a working intercom (opened a ticket in week 2)

My daughter moved from Italy to Leiden to study at the LU and for months we couldn't find a place for her either within or outside the city. <span class='text-oranje-500'>Finke Makelaars</span> helped us with searching, also gave good advice, and voilà the place was found, favorable location – nice room – good price. Special thanks to Mischa de Vries, for his professional attitude, quick responses, patience and friendliness. I would recommend Mischa and the real estate agency <span class='text-oranje-500'>Finke Makelaars</span> in conclusion because of their honesty and transparency.

Very satisfied with this realtor. They are professional and through them, we really found a beautiful home. Specific thanks to Mischa who kept us well informed during the process.

My experience with Finke Makelaars was amazing! ❤️ A special shout-out to Celine for all her help and support. The entire process went smoothly and quickly. I definitely recommend working with her if you are looking for your perfect new home!

Contact with the estate agent and the agency went well and easily. Thorough knowledge of the local housing market.

We had a great experience with Mark and cannot recommend his services enough! Mark is very knowledgeable about the housing market in Leiden and guided us throughout the entire process, without rushing us and always prioritizing our best interests and needs. As non-Dutch speakers, it was very helpful to communicate fully in English with Mark and also to receive his support with language barriers.

Our broker was always responsive, helpful, professional, available to reply to any of our questions and clear in the explanations. He acted as in-between with the seller's broker and helped us arrange all we needed. All the paperwork was prepared promptly and the purchase contract was checked carefully before we signed it.

Mark was an excellent real estate agent and we could not recommend him more. Extremely knowledgeable and always putting our best interest first.

The communication flowed smoothly and pleasantly, there was a lot of personal attention and I received expert help.

Hoekstra en van Eck helped us with both our house sale and our new house purchase and it had been an excellent experience in both occasions. The prices for their services were better than all other makelaars we contacted and on top of that Mark (who was following us) already gave us an excellent impression from the moment we first met him. He has always been available, helpful and kind and it has been amazing to have his support during this process. Can only fully recommend Ho…

Mark and Evelien guided me excellently through the sale of a flat in Leiden. Due to personal circumstances, I was unable to actively participate. They took everything out of my hands and it went perfectly well. Correct, clear, friendly and a good way of communicating.

Very friendly broker who thinks along well and is very knowledgeable about the housing market in the region. Good guidance and advice. I would choose Hoekstra and van Eck again for a possible next time.

A flawless process. Mark loves his profession and sets high standards for himself: he investigated more than I expected; during a viewing, he sees more than I do as a building expert and is very critical. Because he also appraises himself, he could, in my opinion, accurately assess the value of properties, allowing us to bid with confidence. If I have to mention a downside: Mark has his own strong opinions about what is suitable and unsuitable and about quality - …

For the second time asked for help with selling the house. We were very well helped with clear explanation and good communication. It was as we expected and is definitely recommended.

A pleasant and engaged realtor with extensive knowledge. Fine people in the back office. Highly recommended.

Very nice realtor; expert, fast, honest, customer-oriented and pleasant to deal with. I am very satisfied and wholeheartedly recommend Mark.

Cheerfulness and optimism are characteristic of Mark. He also has a good network of (purchase) brokers in the region. During the viewings, he took all the time and gave us good feedback. Definitely recommendable.

Excellent real estate agent, good feeling, excellent communication, approachable. Mark guided us well with expert advice and our house was sold quickly.

Contact with Evelien went smoothly. She was usually called back quickly. She didn't have any problems working or coming by on her days off in case of important matters. Well done!

I had a very good experience with Hoekstra and Van Eck Leiden when buying my first house. Mark has a sharp, pragmatic view of properties, which meant that after each viewing, I always got a good picture of the positive and negative aspects. Also, Mark was always easy to reach and consistently clear in his advice and approach. And you can tell from his enthusiasm that he enjoys his work. I am very happy with the work that Mark and Joyce did for me. H...

Evelien was fantastic. She has good knowledge of the market and is very customer-focused. Nothing was too much for her. Communication was fast and clear.
