All brokers in Purmerland

Tim is a 'just be normal and that's crazy enough in the housing market' broker. Knows what's happening in the market, gives good and clear advice and explanation about the purchase procedure and charges a very acceptable commission. And besides his expertise, he is also a pleasant person to do business with.

Tim is a sober, practical and realistic realtor. He advised and assisted us optimally in the sale of our house.

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

Good, efficient handling of the appraisal. Customer-friendly settlement and fast!

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'm not the type to leave bad reviews, and I already feel guilty about this, but I hope I can prevent someone else from experiencing the same situation. I will go into more detail below, but briefly: poor advice from TWM has cost me at least €50,000, and the situation is still ongoing. I engaged TWM in 2021 to help me with purchasing a house. If I had written a review then, it would have received 5 stars. The real estate agent I worked with was exceptionally helpful and communicative. As an expat, I felt very reassured. Ultimately, I started looking for properties in the Zaanstad area. TWM informed me that this wasn't their primary working area, but that they could help me here without a problem. Houses in Zaanstad of a certain age are known to require foundation repairs, and it was made clear to me from the beginning that I couldn’t afford foundation repairs and therefore had to avoid buying a house where this was needed. Eventually, I found a property nearby that I really liked... but the house was slightly tilted, which again pointed to foundation problems. I raised this with the real estate agent, who said there was no particular reason for concern, but that a structural survey would give us more clarity. The structural survey was carried out by an inspector recommended by the real estate agent. In the report, he stated that there didn't appear to be any specific reasons for concern regarding the foundation; the house was naturally tilted, but he hadn’t noticed anything abnormal. He also indicated that a specific foundation report could tell us more, but he didn't deem it necessary. I contacted the real estate agent again and asked for reassurance about the foundation issue. Again, I was told there was no reason for concern. I asked the real estate agent about a suitable offer on the house, and he approved the bid I wanted to make, as it was a good offer. Everything went well, I bought the house and moved in. Subsequently, 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 would be quite short, so I hoped I would break even with the sale of the house. I contacted TWM again to arrange the sale, as I had previously had such positive experiences with them. Then it became clear that the advice they gave me when purchasing the house was poor. As soon as we tried to sell the house, every potential buyer mentioned problems with the foundation. What was 'no problem' became the reason why nobody wanted to buy the house... and since I only lived in it for two years (November 2021-November 2023), I can hardly imagine that the foundation has deteriorated from 'no cause for concern, perfectly normal' to 'REQUIRES IMMEDIATE RENOVATION' in such a short time. As of this writing, I have had the house on the market for €50,000 less than what I paid for it, and I still can’t get an offer at that amount. This is the minimum amount I can accept and with which I can repay the mortgage; if it's lower, I still have to pay the mortgage. Because TWM seemed so serious and sincere otherwise (hence I still give 2 stars instead of 1), I would like to believe that this was an honest mistake. I’ve spoken with several other real estate agents, and those who did NOT live in Zaanstad seemed to agree with TWM. On paper, they thought the house should be able to be sold for this price without problems. Only a local real estate agent in Zaanstad told me something different. So I suspect that’s because they don’t know the area, and there was no malicious intent involved. That being said, I made the purchase and bid on their recommendation, and hired them to ensure I would pay a fair price, as I don't understand real estate. And I can’t say it was anything other than a failure on their part, even if the mistake was honest. This has derailed my life, and the only loss that TWM suffers is the time it takes to sell the house. That time is probably still covered by their share of the generous offer I initially made on the house, according to their recommendation.

Fast appraisal, thorough investigation

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

Our agent, Wesley, always gave us great and honest advice and helped us in every step of the process. We highly recommend this agency.

Valuation for purchase went great!

This is the third time when we worked with TVM, specifically with Wesley. Choosing them another time is the best proof of our opinion about this company. We received continous support, comprehensive guidance and expertise. These are the people who go beyond to achieve the best results for you. I am really happy to recommend TVM !

Extremely happy with the support from Richard van Scholten Makelaars during the sale. A lot of knowledge about the housing market in Amsterdam-West/de Baarsjes, good advice and above all a very nice cooperation and communication. If it is needed in the future, I would definitely like to contact Scholten Makelaars again.

Hearing from various sources that Scholten is a good office, and that's correct! We were very quickly (within three months) and well helped with our first purchase property by Frank. We are very satisfied with the office. What we found nice, for example, is that someone always goes along, even on the first viewing already, which means that if you like the house, you can act quickly. Furthermore, they provide expert advice, ask things that you yourself would never have thought of to the selling party and put forward a clear, well-founded advice price. It's also very nice that Frank is even reachable via WhatsApp in the evenings and on weekends for questions. Really a strong recommendation!

I had a great experience with this real estate agency. Richard van Gaelen guided the sale of my home and he did this competently and clearly. I also had good contact with the other employees. A recommendation!

Very pleasant experience with Scholten. We worked with Jasper to find our house. From the beginning, he was very clear about everything and explained in detail how the process works. The communication was always extremely fast and friendly. And if your real estate agent is not working that week, they have other agents who can help you quickly. We really recommend this real estate office if you want a smooth purchase process without problems. We heard many strange stories about the housing market in advance (e.g., stressful last-minute renegotiations), but with Scholten it was a very simple and rational process, with good timing and no surprises. PRICES: They work with a starting fee to bind you, but this means that they only work with people who really want to do business. The prices are fixed and not based on percentages, and for our budget this meant that the price was the same (even cheaper) than agents who work on percentages. AVAILABILITY: Jasper always supported us via messages/calls, came to all viewings and appointments to support us and make sure we understood everything (e.g., at the notary) and also helped us with checking all documents (house / VvE / to be signed deeds).

During the process of selling my apartment I was excellently supported. Richard and his colleagues were quick and accurate in answering my questions and came up with suggestions to realize the sale. The cooperation has proceeded pleasantly from start to finish.

In my eyes, it is the task of a real estate agent to make the buying process less burdensome and smoother. That has partly happened, but certainly not in proportion to the € 4,500 I had to pay. A few examples: 1. During multiple viewings, Scholten initially stated that moving was not possible, while it turned out to be possible after repeated inquiries. 2. I am from Zeeland myself, and the signing of the purchase contract took place with a notary in Amsterdam. Only later did I find out that this could have been done online as well, although this option was never presented to us. 3. During the final inspection, it turned out that the selling housing corporation had removed the electricity in the attic. Scholten was supposed to take care of this, but after three weeks without a response, I hired an electrician myself. The necessary contact with the housing corporation also went more smoothly when I arranged it directly instead of via Scholten. Moreover, the final invoice was initially presented as € 500 higher than agreed upon. After inquiry, this was corrected, but things like these should of course be correct from the start. All in all, I have the feeling that I often had to chase things myself that should have been handled by the real estate agent. As a result, the service has taken too little work and worries off my hands for the price that was charged.

I would recommend this real estate agent to everyone. Nice guidance from Frank throughout the entire process and my apartment has been sold for a very good price

Scholten Makelaars sold my apartment in no time, everything went extremely professionally and with short lines. In one word: top!

Jasper made the process very smooth! He was always available, communicated clearly and went out of his way to find all the details for me. With his help I was able to buy an apartment in Amsterdam very quickly. A real recommendation!

We have just bought our first house with this company. We are very satisfied with everything. Everything went well. Very honest and helpful people who help you have the best experience. Again a 10 with stars. Super happy, very thank you Richard

Super helpful support from start to finish. As a starter and non-local buyer, Scholten made the whole process as smooth as possible!

From the beginning, it was a true pleasure to work with Richard van Gaelen as the sales broker for the house I bought. He exceeded all expectations by providing extra information and guidance. Richard was transparent, helpful, and always made sure that I felt well informed at every step. I can wholeheartedly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a reliable and expert real estate agent.

Today our house was sold and we were supported in this by Jasper Bohle. It turned out to be a very difficult job, but with Jasper's effort it ultimately succeeded. What was nice was that when things got tough he was easily accessible and could give us good explanations which allowed us to move forward. We are very grateful to him. Wim and Ineke Huisman

We are incredibly pleased with the service of Frank and his team. Buying a house in Amsterdam is a challenge, and collaborating with Frank really helped us! A big thank you also to Salvador and Richard.

We had a fantastic experience with our realtor Frank. His service was exceptional, the communication was always clear and fast, and his friendliness made the whole process much smoother. We can wholeheartedly recommend him!

I am incredibly grateful for the excellent support Jasper provided me during my recent purchase of an apartment in Amsterdam. His guidance was truly invaluable. From beginning to end, he was exceptionally professional, responded quickly, and was always willing to thoroughly answer all my questions, making the entire process smooth and much less discouraging. His dedication and clear communication were highly appreciated. I would also like to express my sincere thanks to Richard and Frank for their valuable help during the apartment search. Their contributions were equally useful. It was a pleasure to work with such a dedicated and expert team. Thank you for making this important journey a positive experience. Serra Yilmaz

I have contacted Scholten Makelaars to sell my apartment in Amsterdam and I can only leave a very positive review! Richard Gaelen was extremely professional and dedicated throughout the entire process. He always clearly explained each step and gave me a lot of confidence in preparing the sale. Especially since I was abroad during the viewing/sale. I fully trusted Richard, who handled everything for me remotely with extreme efficiency and transparency. I could not be more satisfied. Thank you very much for all your help! I can wholeheartedly recommend the services of this excellent company due to the first-class treatment they offer their customers!

Julia is a great real estate agent with expertise. Gave us good advice, helped with negotiations, and was always patient with us. Very nice to work with.

Very professional and pleasant cooperation. The collaboration with Julia from La Maison was extremely professional and pleasant from the first moment. She has a sharp insight into the market and knows how to translate this into a well-thought-out sales strategy. Julia communicates clearly, is easily reachable, and acts quickly and appropriately. The presentation of the property was excellently prepared, and the entire sales process went smoothly and transparently. In short: a reliable real estate agent…

They ticked all the boxes for me, hence the 10 out of 10! Professional, courteous, efficient, extremely good at guiding me through the whole process from beginning to end and most importantly they achieved the best price possible in the present market. Lara Kok was my contact and I would say her unique selling point is that I was never made to feel that I was just another number. In that respect they stand head and shoulders over the other real estate brokers I interviewed. A re…

We sold our house through La Maison en Lara. Lara and her entire team were always ready to help us throughout the whole process, answer questions, and think along about achieving the best possible result. That certainly succeeded!! The entire team is involved to make the sale a success. Photos, interior advice, measurement report etc. Also the modern approach with good social media visibility is top! We were online on funda, viewings and sales ready within two weeks! I would wholeheartedly recommend Lara!

Very knowledgeable real estate agent. Pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend this agent to future sellers

I found a home thanks to La Maison Makelaars and was helped by Julia. I am enormously satisfied because they provide a very personal service. I am new to the market and didn't yet know what to look out for. Julia was very patient and went along to every house I wanted to view and gave me advice based on my situation. She also sent apartments that I had missed. After finding the apartment, she also gave advice on everything around it from notary, appraisal, renovation etc. I found it quite an exciting process, but ultimately thanks to Julia and LaMaison it became a pleasant journey. Thank you.

La Maison & Lara delivered amazing work. Always available for questions and super proactive and stress-relieving. You notice that they are involved as a complete team and have the modern approach (social media etc.) to be able to sell your house top.

Contact with Lara went excellently. She was professional, accurate and always easily accessible. Moreover, she took that extra step, exactly what you as a buyer appreciate and look for in a real estate agent.

Contact with the real estate agent went smoothly and clearly. I was well informed throughout the entire process, and my questions were always answered quickly and carefully. The expectations I had regarding guidance and transparency were fully met. There was room for consultation, and I felt taken seriously. This gave confidence and ensured that everything proceeded smoothly and professionally.

We were very well assisted by Lara! Throughout the entire process, we received professional support and got the help we needed to sell our house in the best possible way.

We have had good contact with Lara regarding the sale of our house. Her colleagues were also very helpful during Lara's vacation. We are happy with the guidance from La Maison Real Estate and certainly recommend them!

Very happy with the guidance from start to finish. Expert, involved and always easily accessible. My apartment was sold quickly for a good price. A nice team to work with - I would definitely recommend them!

Extremely fast and well assisted. Correctly, even when the house wasn't. Honest reliable help.

What a great realtor! Rarely have I met someone who works so involved, quickly and professionally. Always accessible, thinks along and arranges everything to the last detail. Thanks to Lydia, everything went smoothly and stress-free - truly recommended!

Fantastic assistance. At the 2nd house we visited, it was a hit and within one day of ours! We started creating a realistic plan, focused searching and maintained smooth communication. In the overheated market of Amsterdam, we are incredibly happy to have worked with La Maison Makelaars.

Julia from Le Maison always gave us honest advice, but the most important thing is that she has an incredible amount of empathy. She is very compassionate, attentive and accessible throughout the entire process and at the same time can negotiate well and strive for the best possible outcome.

As foreigners who bought a house in Amsterdam, the process initially seemed overwhelming, but Aron made it simple and clear. From day one he guided us step by step and patiently and professionally explained every detail of the Dutch real estate process. He was always available for our questions, gave valuable advice and ensured that we felt confident and well-informed at every stage. His excellent network of lawyers, mortgage advisors and other brokers made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Professional, reliable and genuinely committed to his clients. Thanks to his dedication, everything went smoothly, from our first viewing to the final signature. A real recommendation.

Aron sold our apartment and fully met all expectations you can have as a seller, and more! We were taken care of by him in every respect, and he even helped with several matters that weren't directly related to the sale. A real go-getter with a no-nonsense mentality, therefore. We would definitely work with Aron again for a next purchase or sale!

Aron was great to work with. He knows the market incredibly well and helped me enormously throughout the entire process, from beginning to end, making my life a lot easier. Moreover, he loves his job, and you can see that in the personal connection he builds with all of his clients. He was just as happy as I was when we found the apartment I wanted, and his positivity and optimism throughout the whole process are the greatest added value you can have! A real recommendation!

Aaron is very pleasant to work with and we really relied on his advice and negotiations. What I especially appreciate is his expertise, not only in the field of real estate, but also in construction quality, which was enormously useful when viewing homes. He was initially recommended to us by a colleague, and we are hugely grateful to him for that :)

I worked with Aron! He was enormously helpful and honest during the house search. He is very reliable and has great expertise. As an expat, he made the whole process very easy for me, explained all the steps, and was extra careful! I can wholeheartedly recommend him!

We had a fantastic experience with Aron in finding our dream house in Amsterdam. We had quite specific requirements regarding our budget, which can be difficult with the options available here. However, Aron helped us find our dream house by navigating this tricky market with his expertise. He also has experience with home renovation, so it was helpful to attend viewings and hear his opinion on average costs should we want to renovate or have ideas about how the space could be transformed. He is very motivated and remained fully engaged with us throughout the 7-month process that we found our house. We cannot recommend Aron enough - he is one of the best!

Thanks to Aron, we have our first dream house! He helped us tremendously, actively thought along with us and was always honest in his advice. Thanks to his guidance, you won't make hasty choices, but will buy something that is really worth it!

We had a fantastic experience with our buyer's agent, Aron. During our six-month search, he was constantly up to date on everything: punctual, proactive and very organized. His good relationships with other agents made the process smoother, and he always arranged viewings quickly and followed up on details. And most importantly: his smart negotiation strategy helped us secure a beautiful home. Aron's professionalism and dedication gave us confidence at every step. Thank you so much, Aron, for your unconditional support and guidance – we are enormously grateful to you!

We couldn't be happier that we chose to work with Aron and De Plantage Makelaars. From our very first meeting, it was clear that he was more passionate, energetic, and involved than all other 'more experienced' real estate agents from whom we received offers. We were treated closely and personally throughout the entire process (instead of just being “another property in a large portfolio”). We received additional services that no other broker had offered (arranging our belongings for the photoshoot with the help of an interior designer, storing some of our personal belongings, Aron even offered to let us work from his office while he showed the apartment - since Horeca was closed-, etc.). Aron was always accessible and responsive, proactive in adjusting the offer, adding extra options based on statistics, was super flexible about viewing times (useful for potential buyers) and did an excellent job assessing the market value of our property, keeping us informed of our expectations, advising us to reject offers and remaining patient and ultimately negotiating the final terms and guiding us through the process and paperwork. Next time we will not hesitate to work with Aron and positively recommend them to anyone who asks for advice.

I can highly recommend Aron and De Plantage Makelaars. As a first time buyer he took me through the process step by step and made me feel informed and secure when making decisions.

I worked with Aron! He was extremely helpful and honest in the house search. He is very reliable and his expertise is great. As an expat he made the whole process very easy for me and also explained all the steps and took extra care! Couldn’t recommend him more!!

We had a great experience. Aron is very professional, always available and precise. He is very transparent in all the aspects and listen to the needs of his clients. It won’t have been the same without him. Super recommended

Aron is a great realtor, honest and reliable. We were very happy that we chose him. Quick communication, good advice and always available for everything we needed. A real recommendation.

If you are looking for a house in Amsterdam, we can highly recommend Aron. Working with him is definitely worth it. He was very reachable and always tried to be present at viewings (something not all real estate agents do). He gave thorough, honest advice and was always there for us. He also has an amazing network and introduced us to a very helpful mortgage advisor. We eventually found 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!

Floris is an accessible professional, with a lot of knowledge and experience and who always commits to you fully 100%. Positive attitude, well informed about the market and super friendly! Absolutely recommended.

We had a great experience with Sander in finding our house in Santpoort-Noord. As newcomers to the Netherlands, we didn't know much about the purchasing process, but Sander clearly guided us through each step. He was always patient, responded quickly and honestly – especially when advising on potential red flags or less ideal choices. His extensive knowledge of the Haarlem region was a real asset. We truly felt supported throughout the entire process. A definite recommendation!

Omid was incredibly helpful from the beginning. He was there at every step, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. His guidance and availability made a big difference. I can wholeheartedly recommend him as an agent!

We had a very pleasant experience with Floris when we needed an appraisal for our mortgage. He responded very quickly, gave good advice and tried to help us where possible. A real recommendation!

Floris helped us very well and quickly! He kept us well informed about the process, acted quickly and more than fulfilled all appointments! We are very satisfied! Thank you Floris!

We had a great experience working with Sander to find our home in Santpoort-Noord. As newcomers to the Netherlands, we didn’t know much about the home-buying process, but Sander guided us clearly through every step. He was always patient, responsive, and honest—especially when advising us on potential red flags or less-than-ideal choices. His deep knowledge of the Haarlem area was a real asset. We truly felt supported throughout the process. Highly recommended!

Always available, strong advice, proactive. Communication excellent. Provided insight into the market, transparent. Good advocate.

Sander did an excellent job, very happy with my new house

Floris helped us wonderfully with the purchase of our home!

Sander from VK Makelaars excellently helped and guided us with the purchase of our new home. He keeps the lines open, steps in where needed, and gives excellent advice. No nonsense, no false promises, and always honest and realistic throughout the entire process. Absolutely recommended.

Sander was very helpful during the whole process, always available and gave good advice. I'm very happy with my new house

Poor communication and a lack of solution-oriented approach. Our appointment was allegedly cancelled, but I never received an email about this at the usual email address where all contact took place, including the appointment confirmation. It was also claimed that an SMS had been sent, but it cannot be found anywhere. When I expressed my disappointment to Omid and tried to find out where things went wrong, I was told they didn't want to investigate this and that I was simply unlucky. No effort to find a solution. Very disappointing experience, absolutely not recommended!

We can wholeheartedly recommend Omid and his team at VK! Omid was our Buyer's Agent and thanks to all his efforts, we are now the proud owners of our dream home. As immigrants, our knowledge and experience with Dutch legislation and customs is not as thorough as that of others. He was present at every step, from viewing houses to having them appraised, making offers, signing at the notary, and key handover, and more. He always made sure to explain every detail, however small or insignificant, so we never felt like we were in the dark or poorly informed. He advised us not only as our agent but also as a friend and a pillar of support. There were moments when he even went above and beyond expectations and we greatly appreciate all his efforts. He truly derives satisfaction from the contentment of his clients. We would gladly work with him again in the future! We also collaborated with Floris for a Valuer project. He knows the local market of Amsterdam very well, is honest, direct and thorough in his valuations and would certainly recommend him for both valuers and agents. He introduced us to Omid, so thank you very much for that!

I was helped by Mandy from VK Makelaars for the purchase of the property. She helped me throughout the process, from helping me organise viewings, to helping me set up all the administration needed to purchase a property. As a non Dutch speaker and someone new to the Netherlands this was extremely helpful and I would thoroughly recommend the service provided by Mandy and the team at VK Makelaars

Sander was an excellent professional and guided me seamlessly through the entire purchasing process. I am very happy with the house that I bought with his help!

My experience with Sander was very positive and I also recommended him to a friend of mine. He has a lot of knowledge of the market and can advise well. It was very useful for me as a beginner.
