All brokers in Purmer

Gaby did all possible to sell my house in the best possible way and attend to my needs as well as the buyers requests.

Highly expert and experienced, offers space and tranquility in the process that can be hectic (given the market). Further involved, sympathetic, and pleasant to deal with. A combination of qualities I have not seen before in a real estate agency.

Selling the house didn't go smoothly, but it was to our complete satisfaction. An excellent real estate agent: expert, personal and businesslike, calm and reassuring.

We initially worked with Gaby to buy our house as first-time buyers as an expat buyer in Amsterdam. Because we were new to the Dutch housing market, he guided us excellently through everything, including handling our offer, arranging technical inspections, and finding a notary. So when it was time to upgrade, we were happy to work with him again for the sale of that property and the purchase of a second one. Gaby is very experienced and an expert in the Amsterdam housing market. With his help, we got a great bid and are very happy with our sale. We are also super happy with our new house! I would definitely recommend Thuis in Vastgoed (and have done so!) to any expat seeking help navigating the Dutch housing market.

I am super happy with this realtor. Have nothing to criticize, incredibly good, expert and pleasant guidance. I would recommend this realtor to everyone.

Gaby Balkema of Thuis in Vastgoed excellently guided the sale of my property. Flexible and proactive!

Migiel and Gaby are expert real estate agents with a great deal of experience in the Amsterdam housing market; they know the history, pros and cons, and (market) developments in almost every district. They have a large network, stay on top of things, and are very involved with their clients.

I chose Migiel from several brokers that I spoke with. Immediately, his expert and direct style stood out to me. No empty promises but politely stating what it is. The further sales process went smoothly and I was kept properly informed and patiently provided with further advice. Even when it took a little longer due to my actions.

Knowledgeable broker who knows the market well. Takes the time, not impatient. Helps a lot with the bidding process.

The real estate agent fully met expectations. He accurately predicted the market and provided adequate advice.

It turned out to be more difficult than expected, but ultimately everything went perfectly after all, also thanks to Migiel's good effort and continued involvement.

Gaby is a pleasure to work with -- he has a lot of knowledge and experience -- gives good advice -- and is super friendly -- a top experience!

Migiel is always there for you, very professional in every step of the process, available to suggest the right thing to do and, most important, honest and transparent. I have <span class='text-oranje-500'>recomended</span> him to several friends and everybody was very happy.

Migiel guided us very nicely through the sale of our house. Even in the run-up to the sale of our home, before we actually decided to move, Migiel helped us well. He even managed to prevent us from a significant financial setback. The photos and sales text were incredibly good and realistic at the same time. He was flexible for the viewings and thought along well. It was nice working with Migiel and we can wholeheartedly …

Nice human broker Quick and professional For the 2nd time in my life a pleasant experience with this broker

Gaby was the absolute best. Helped us with everything and was always available for questions and some times last minute viewings. Very professional and friendly.

I am very satisfied with Thuis in Vastgoed. Migiel is a pleasant, no-nonsense real estate agent with extensive knowledge of both the market and the neighborhood where my apartment was sold. He had a clear and concise sales strategy with a well-thought-out plan, which gave me great confidence. From start to finish, he kept me well informed of every development, large or small, and he was always excellently accessible. In addition, I was very pleased with the photographer and the …

Joost is a really great realtor. He is knowledgeable, both technically and procedurally. He helped me with the sale of my apartment. Something that didn't seem too complex to me beforehand, but which turned out to involve much more fine-tuning and timing. He has a good view of the market and really knows what he's talking about. Truly very pleasant how he guides you through such a process, which you don't go through every day. Finally, he is particularly honest and funny too. It's starting to get a bit boring, but I can’t help but give him 5 stars. Really can’t think of anything he didn’t do optimally.

We heard about J-oost through various sources (builders and neighbors). And he was as good as they said. He helped us advertise, present, and sell our house in Amsterdam Oost in the first week of the listing! His price advice was perfect and he did his utmost to make the viewings perfect; he also acted as our power of attorney. Strongly recommend!

We managed to find a house in Amsterdam, no easy task, while receiving support and guidance from Joost every step of the way. Joost has extensive knowledge of the housing market and was particularly helpful with the legal and administrative aspects of the process. Without him, we certainly wouldn't have had a smooth experience, so his constant support is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much Joost! Yuval and Sara

Joost helped us very well throughout the entire process of buying our house. Joost took the time for us and was always available for questions. In addition, it wasn't a problem for Joost to work quickly, so we were able to complete the purchase process in just five (!) weeks after viewing our dream home. In short, if you are looking for a real estate agent who takes the time for you and works efficiently, then you have come to the right place with J-oost!

If you're still hesitant about a real estate agent, don't be. Joost is truly a very good, reliable real estate agent who achieves great results. We are incredibly happy with how well Joost guided us through the entire sale of our house and thought along with us much more than we dared to hope. Our situation was quite complex but Joost was always there for us and took the time to discuss everything thoroughly and look for solutions. Another major plus point is that Joost is also very reliable in calling back, something we missed with other real estate agents. We never had to call back, mostly Joost would pick up immediately or call back quickly. And an addition from my husband “Joost has a good sense of humor”. Something which is not unimportant either 😅 If we have to describe Joost in 2 words it's "honest and reliable".

Een huis kopen is een ontzettend chaotische en rommelige fase in je leven waar een hoop stress bij gepaard gaat. Vanaf het moment dat we Joost bij onze aankoop hebben betrokken was hij een oase van rust en structuur. Zijn begeleiding bij de laatste stappen van het process waren ontzettend waardevol, bijvoorbeeld met het doorlezen van de vele (juridische) documenten die je moet doorlezen. Joost erbij hebben gaf ons de ruimte om ons minder te daarmee bezig te houden en juist het moment van een huis kopen ook echt te vieren! Achteraf gezien had ik J-OOST er meteen bij moeten betrekken! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buying a house is an incredibly messy and chaotic phase of your life that comes with a huge amount of stress. <span class='text-oranje-500'>the minute we involved Joost in our purchase he was an unending source of organization and tranquility.</span> His guidance in the final steps of the process was of incredible value, for example when Joost did a close reading of the many (legal) documents you are expected to read. <div class='text-blauw-500'>This freed us from having to worry about all this and gave us the headspace to enjoy the moment of achievement that comes with buying a house!</div> My only regret is that I didn't involve J-OOST from the start!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Joost to anyone who wants to buy a house. He took us (beginners) through everything and ensured that the entire process was understandable and smooth. In addition, he was always available for our questions and gave advice where we lacked the right knowledge ourselves. He turned what could have been a stressful process into an enjoyable experience. Thanks Joost!

Joost is a fantastic and reliable realtor whom I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone! He listens well to your wishes and thinks along with you, always trying to remain honest and objective. He has been indispensable to me in my search for an apartment in Amsterdam and I look back on a very pleasant and successful search! Thank you Joost!

First, I didn't see the point of a buyer's agent, but my beloved was very firm, so it happened. Joost protected us from a bad purchase. I can only say that Joost has proven to be a very skilled buyer's agent.

We enjoyed working with Joost very much. He is a great advisor and accurate in his analyses. We found our house! Work with him, you won't regret it!

What a pleasant experience with Joost. He was able to create clarity from the beginning in the search process and guided virtually every step of the entire process. We highly recommend Joost! Thanks again, Joost!

Initially, we doubted whether it was necessary to hire a real estate agent for the sale and purchase of our new home. But J-OOST has proven the added value. Very knowledgeable, punctual, very pleasant to communicate with, responds quickly to questions, keeps appointments and gives his honest opinion. We can wholeheartedly recommend him!

We really had a top experience with J-OOST. Thanks to Joost, we truly experienced the process of buying our first home as very enjoyable. There was a great connection and we could always laugh together. Joost really takes care of everything for you and is always there for you. In addition, he was super well prepared at every viewing + in the purchasing process so you can really go through the process worry-free - No stress allowed! Thanks to him, we were able to buy the house of our dreams, which is a real challenge in Amsterdam's tight market. Furthermore, Joost has extensive knowledge of the Amsterdam housing market and therefore gives very good advice, knows how to place the right bid and determine the best strategy. I would recommend Joost to everyone looking for a real estate agent who thinks along with you and goes that extra mile! Joost has also surrounded himself with a strong network of professionals who deliver high quality and whom he is happy to connect you with. The service that Joost provided was amazing and when it's time for a new house again or the sale of our current home, we are sure to find him again!

Joost was always involved and accessible. He really did his research and was very careful. Thanks to him, it was also enjoyable and the whole process went super well. Absolutely recommended!

Joost is a very skilled and friendly real estate agent. Good at communication and clearly understands the business. I would absolutely recommend him as a real estate agent in East Amsterdam. We sold our house problem-free and for a good price thanks to Joost.

Joost is an expert, passionate and involved real estate agent. He is straightforward, honest, authentic and works meticulously. Has his affairs in order and proactively took action during the process. Gave good advice and clear explanations. Was also easily accessible and willing to answer all questions as best as possible. Even when things didn't go smoothly on the buyer's side, he showed his true value. His knowledge, proactivity and perseverance…

Joost! The absolute professional! Truly a pleasure to work with. From the beginning, Joost understood our wishes and needs throughout the entire process. As an expat, finding a house in the Netherlands was a calm and reassuring experience. The time he took to explain every step of the process really became clear when we finally found our dream home! Thank you Joost!

Well guided and a pleasant personal connection.

We are very satisfied with the service. Our house was sold quickly and, thanks to good advice, we were able to purchase our new home. We received excellent financial support throughout this process.

Everything went exactly as expected and to everyone's satisfaction. I have sold and bought several homes over the years through Bert van Vulpen, and each time I have been extremely pleased. I plan not to move again but who knows until next time!

Had a very pleasant experience with Sanne van den Boogaard as the real estate agent, but also with Sanne Maas as further point of contact. I was well informed and advised about the asking price, and throughout the entire process, there was collaboration on how I could (have) arrange everything for my house in the most optimal way possible. The sale proceeded quickly and smoothly, and the contact during the process has always been pleasant.

Contact with Sanne and Sanne from Bert van Vulpen went smoothly throughout the entire process. Ultimately chose Bert van Vulpen because the feeling was simply good and no regrets about that! I was well advised about the asking price and happy with the final sale.

Good communication, clear agreements, good feedback on questions, friendly in demeanor. Excellent documentation and excellent help with questions.

We were fantastically helped from beginning to end, during the stressful period, with the sale of our home. Hanoch was almost 24/7 available for all our questions and comments! Thank you

From beginning to end, we were fantastically helped during the stressful period of selling our home. Hanoch almost 24/7 available for our questions and comments and quick responses!

Clear, timely and effective communication. And great people from every individual department who are always willing to help!

Great experience with Bert van Vulpen Zaandam. I chose them when I was impressed by the way Hanouch showed me someone else's house because I had bought the property with so much detail and interest. So I decided to use them to sell my house and that turned out to be a good decision. The entire team is very genuine and fast, but my special mention goes to Hanouch, who is always cheerful and ready to assist you at every step while also being ready to listen to your wishes. I would highly recommend them.

Fast sale. The asking price was well estimated and strategically chosen. We are happy with this realtor. The market for sellers is also very favorable, which helps too.

Highly recommended! Bert van Hulpen helped us excellently and assisted us in finding our perfect home. We are extremely satisfied with the entire experience. Every team member was incredibly helpful, responsive, and easy to reach when needed. Their quick actions and clear communication ensured that the process went smoothly. Thanks again for everything!

Top real estate agents are always ready for you with good and skilled people, excellent service, definitely recommended.

Highly recommended! Bert van Hulpen provided exceptional service and helped us find our perfect home. We are extremely satisfied with the entire experience. Every team member was incredibly helpful, responsive, and easy to reach whenever needed. Their quick actions and clear communication made the process seamless. Thank you again for everything!

Top realtor and mortgages with very good honest staff.

Great tour, house was excellent.

An agent who is always reachable and keeps his appointments promptly, calls back as quickly as possible too, And if you have questions that cannot be answered immediately, you will receive an answer as soon as possible.

TWM effectively helped me to purchase a lovely apartment. They were so helpful and responsive and throughout the journey, which was so confusing at the beginning, they were beside me and smoothly guided me through all steps. Without their help it wasn't possible. I'm thankful and happy to work together with TWM

Patience professional competent thinking along with towards the possibilities in the long term and listening to the environment messages market

Excellent experience! Good price indication, accurate, beautiful presentation and shows a lot of involvement. Very nice. Highly recommended!

Expert and smooth guidance and handling. Took a lot of work off our hands as heirs during the sale. Absolutely reliable!

I am not the type of person who leaves bad reviews, and I even feel bad doing this now, but I hope to spare someone else from my situation. I will go into more detail below, but in short: poor advice from TWM has cost me at least €50,000, and the situation is still ongoing. I hired TWM to help me buy a house in 2021. If I had written a review then, it would have been 5 stars. The agent I worked with was extremely helpful and communicative. As an expat, I felt very reassured. Ultimately, I started looking in the Zaanstad area. TWM let me know that this wasn't their primary working area, but that it wouldn’t be a problem to help me find something there. Houses in Zaanstad of a certain age are known to require foundation repairs, and it was made very clear from the start that I could NOT afford foundation repairs, and therefore had to avoid buying a house where this was needed. Ultimately, I found a property nearby that I really liked... but the house was slightly tilted, which again indicated foundation problems. I raised this with the agent, who said there was no special reason for concern, but that a technical survey would certainly reveal this. The technical inspection was carried out by an inspector recommended by the agency. In the report, he stated that there didn't seem to be any particular reason for concern within the foundation; that the house was obviously tilted, but he noted nothing abnormal. He also indicated that a specific foundation report could tell us more, but that he did not deem it necessary. I contacted the agent again and asked to be sure about the foundation problem. Again, I was told there was no reason for concern. I asked the agent about a suitable offer on the house, and he approved the offer I wanted to make and said it was a good offer on the house. Everything went well, I bought the house and moved in. Afterwards, my situation unexpectedly changed and by the end of 2023 it became clear that I would be moving out of the Netherlands. I knew the timeframe was quite short, so I just hoped to break even when selling the house. I contacted TWM again to handle the sale, because I had such a positive experience with them previously. Then it became clear that the advice they gave me when buying the house was poor. As soon as we started selling the house, every potential buyer mentioned fundamental concerns. What was 'no problem' became the reason why nobody wanted to buy the house... and since I have only lived in the house for 2 years (November 2021 - November 2023), I can hardly believe that the foundation has deteriorated from 'no reason for concern, perfectly normal' to 'IMMEDIATE RENOVATION REQUIRED' in such a short time. As of the moment I am writing this, the house is for sale for €50,000 less than what I paid, and I still cannot get an offer for that amount. This is the minimum amount I can accept and pay off the mortgage; lower, and I will still be making mortgage payments. Because TWM seemed so serious and sincere otherwise (this is why I still give them 2 stars instead of 1), I would like to believe this was an honest mistake. I spoke with several other real estate agencies, and those who did NOT live in Zaanstad seemed to agree with TWM. On paper, they felt the house should be able to sell without problems for that price. Only a local Zaanstad agent told me otherwise. So I suspect this is a case where they don't know the local area, and nothing malicious. That said, I made the purchase and offer based on their recommendation, and hired them to ensure I paid a fair price, as I have no real estate knowledge. And I can only say that it was a failure on their part, even if the mistake was honest. This has derailed my life, and the only loss TWM suffers is the time it takes to sell the property. That is probably still covered by their discount on the generous offer I initially made on the house, based on their recommendation.

Fast appraisal, thorough investigation

We are extremely satisfied with the speed and good communication with which all assignments were executed.

Valuation for purchase went great!

We are very satisfied with TWM real estate agency. Everything went as wished. The high reviews really do check out! We didn't have any prior experiences with realtors and found this company via the internet. We can wholeheartedly recommend Edith and her team! The process was very smooth, and we received professional advice. Especially, the process also proceeded without too much stress. This is not a given in the current housing market.

Very nice realtor to work with! We have already had 2 appraisals done by Tim and that was done very well and expertly. The report was ready quickly and very complete.

If you are looking for a house in Amsterdam, we really cannot recommend Aron anymore. Working with him is absolutely worth the effort. He was very available and always tried to be present at visits (something that not all agents do). He gave thorough and honest advice and always stood in our corner. In addition, he has an excellent network and introduced us to a very helpful mortgage advisor. We ultimately got a fantastic apartment, and without him we really couldn't have done it.

We are very satisfied with the entire sales process. Beautiful sales presentation. Aron provided quick and good guidance for viewings and gave us good feedback on developments. Responded directly and was also always easy and quickly reachable. In short, very satisfied.

Review Contact went very well. Good communication and always responded very quickly when I had a question. Always available outside of office hours to answer my questions. In short, a very good agent who thinks along with you and has good personal contact

We have achieved a successful result, well above expectations. The groundwork was impressive and distinctive: A lot of time was invested in styling and presentation. We had little time for this ourselves. It started with good and honest advice about opportunities and possibilities. Communication has been very pleasant. We are enthusiastic and can wholeheartedly recommend the plantage makelaars!

We are very grateful to Aron for his help with the sale of our apartment. We came into contact during a house viewing for another house. We liked his style and approached him to sell our apartment. Our first impression was already very positive given his passion, positive attitude and high degree of professionalism. He understood our needs and was patient throughout the entire sales process, going the extra mile to ensure he kept his promise. His honesty, flexibility and accessibility made it a very pleasant experience to work with him. He helped us stay patient and positive during our sales process. Overall, we are very satisfied and highly recommend Aron.

The sales process of our apartment went extremely smoothly with Aron. We closed the deal within a few days for a great price. I can recommend his services 100% to anyone who wants to buy or sell their home.

We went to take a look for fun, were received by Aron Kriek, and fell for the house. That was unexpected. Did we need to engage a buyer's agent? We really wanted the house after all. But Aron’s transparent approach inspired confidence, we made an offer and were treated fairly. The very passionate selling agent found us reliable and didn’t escalate things. Within no time, we had an acceptable deal. Thankfully, he wasn’t an 'old school' agent, but rather an approachable person who listened and communicated well and honestly. When I needed to sell my house, as I was moving in with someone, there was no doubt; Aron had to do it. And he performed entirely according to expectations. Willing, transparent and totally enthusiastic. I received more than expected. Both in terms of proceeds and regarding the agent. I wholeheartedly recommend Aron from De Plantage Makelaars.

What a pleasant collaboration that was with Aron Kriek from De Plantage Makelaars. Aron has a great understanding of the market in Amsterdam and knows which tactics best suit the sale of your home. His approach is efficient, very service-oriented, and ensures cooperation. In addition to doing everything possible to get your house ready for sale as perfectly as possible, he also has a network of people who take care of the finishing touches. He's not the type of real estate agent who is only available at certain hours for you or potential buyers of your home, but has a flexible attitude towards this and isn't afraid to work at unusual times. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend De Plantage Makelaars.

Very well assisted by an enthusiastic real estate agent who has a genuine desire to sell. We didn't get our house sold with a known real estate agency in Amsterdam Zuid. It was a very good choice to collaborate with Plantage Makelaars. They take that extra step which is needed for a property in this price class. They are always reachable and they are flexible when scheduling viewings. Thank you Aron for the good help! Definitely recommended!

Aron was a fantastic buyer's agent for us in Amsterdam. In a difficult housing market, he helped us find a house almost immediately and expertly and efficiently guided us through the process. He is professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with; he is always responsive and proactive. Moreover, he is a great guy who genuinely cared about us. We highly recommend him. Five-star service all around.

Aron was incredible, detailed and great to work with. He has great connections and knows a lot about the areas of Amsterdam, the regulations and also the small things regarding building infrastructure etc. His practical approach is highly valued and it was super smooth working with him.

We are incredibly grateful that we were able to work with Aron during our home buying journey in Amsterdam. Finding the right place in this market is not an easy or quick process, but he supported us every step of the way and ensured that we never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision we didn't have full confidence in. What really stood out was his commitment to our interests. He didn't just help us find a house; he made sure we found the right house at the right price. His negotiation skills were excellent, ensuring the best possible conditions and making sure we got a fair deal. In addition to his professionalism and expertise, Aron was a true support during the entire process. If you are looking for an agent who is expert and experienced and truly works in your interest, then we highly recommend Aron!

We enjoyed working with Aron very much as our buyer's agent in Amsterdam and were impressed by his professionalism and expertise. He has a deep understanding of the market, and what really impressed us was his dedication and patience in finding the 'right' deal or the right house, and not just any quick deal. He responds quickly and is reliable, and we can wholeheartedly recommend him.

Very satisfied with the help of Plantage Makelaars. Without Aron, we wouldn't have been able to buy the house. Aron is honest and dares to advise against things too. Very pleasant to work with. Can recommend De Plantage Makelaars to everyone.

We were delighted to have worked with Aron as our real estate agent when purchasing our first apartment. He was always friendly, available 24/7 for all your questions, thoroughly inspected the properties and gave valuable advice. What stood out most was that Aron didn't just want to sell an apartment to sell – he was just as enthusiastic as we were about finding the right house, and that’s exactly what we did. I can wholeheartedly recommend his services and would definitely work with him again if we decide to sell or buy in the future. Liam & Libby

Aron is very honest, helpful and did more than expected. As a first-time homebuyer, Aron made everything very easy as my real estate agent, and we completed the process in less than 6 weeks. I can wholeheartedly recommend Aron!
