We are extremely satisfied with our experience with Van der Giessen & Van Herk Makelaars. From the very first contact, they were professional, clear and highly engaged. They took the time to properly understand our wishes and gave honest and expert advice. Thanks to their commitment and good communication, the sale/purchase of our home went smoothly and quickly. A real recommendation for anyone looking for a reliable and skilled realtor!
Perfect, buying was just as easy as selling, definitely recommended. Clear communication between parties
We got in contact with Joris when he was the selling agent for a house that we wanted to buy. Despite the fact that we weren't yet his clients, he really went out of his way for us. Joris is a likeable and honest person who enjoys his work very much. You can really tell. To date, we haven't found a house yet, but we have engaged Joris as our purchasing agent. And even now we are very satisfied!
Really good purchasing guidance received! Definitely recommended!
Contact was fine, but unfortunately mistakes were also made in the background. But all in all a great realtor!
Highly recommended! Joris helped me excellently with the sale of my apartment. Pleasant and clear communication.
Very bad realtor! Don't go into business with them! Doesn't keep appointments and doesn't call back.
Contact with Joris went well. We were well guided during the sale of our house and purchase of the new house. Short lines and pleasant communication. Everything was arranged very quickly.
I am super happy with this realtor!! Joris has and still stands ready for me if needed. Very knowledgeable.
Contact with the estate agents went well. We worked together pleasantly. One of the estate agents was present at all viewings. The sale proceeded smoothly. Photos were placed after consultation and we were able to add some photos ourselves. The text was also created, modified and posted in consultation. In short, a pleasant collaboration.
Contacted the broker by phone and immediately felt a sense of familiarity. The subsequent contact went very smoothly and they were able to take care of our purchase + sale on very short notice. That process also went without a hitch, and has actually been virtually stress-free throughout.
From the start of sales, I received excellent support and guidance! No effort was too much to answer questions or give advice. I definitely recommend this brokerage firm!
Everything went perfectly 👌🏼 good communication and the house ultimately sold to our satisfaction 👍
Contact with Joris and the employees of his office went well. The house was sold quickly.
excellent real estate agent thought along with us, very expert also regarding the sale of our house, immediately taking pictures of our house and as soon as we had bought something, immediately putting our house up for sale.
Engaged and expert guidance! Good advice and during the sale, we were well informed. Quick response to questions.
Contact was excellent and pleasant, good communication and clear. Definitely recommended as a real estate agent in the area.
Joris helped us well with the sale of our house. The communication was always top!
The realtor advised us well on the sale. They did have a somewhat more optimistic expectation of our house, in terms of how quickly we would get rid of it. Ultimately, it took much longer than their prediction.
Dear friends, I am sharing an incident that I experienced last week. I had an appointment with this real estate agent in Rotterdam and before I could make my appointment, they told me the house had been sold. I want to point out that they are selling houses to people they know. You have to be careful. They can sell your hope to someone else.
Joris guided me excellently during the sales process of my house. He makes clear agreements and always honors them. After each viewing, he kept me neatly informed of the progress. If he was temporarily unavailable, he always made sure to call back later. The communication was very pleasant and professional, which made the process run very smoothly. In short, I am very satisfied with Joris's service and would definitely recommend him.
We had a viewing scheduled, I was one of the first to call about the property. Just got a call that our appointment won't happen, the viewing, because an offer has been made and accepted. We didn't even have the chance to make an offer. Very bad that it goes this way. Doesn't even deserve one star but otherwise I can’t place it.
We had a good contact with the real estate agent, he was patient and understanding. We were also well assisted by phone.
I am extremely satisfied with the service of Van der Giessen & Van Herk Makelaars. Their excellent knowledge of the housing market in Ridderkerk and the local area gave me immediate confidence. They proposed a sharp asking price for my property, and their sales strategy proved to be particularly effective. The communication also went smoothly; they responded quickly via WhatsApp and were ready to give advice on a new home. However, the advice for a new home was somewhat limited. Deso…
We had a really great experience with our real estate agent Joris!! He assisted us in the sale of our house. He was also the selling real estate agent for our current home. We had a very pleasant collaboration and he was always available when we had questions. Super satisfied with the cooperation with this realtor.
Contact with what we experienced was very clear. Questions were answered quickly. All employees are very friendly, helpful and very understanding. If you want to put your house up for sale, I would definitely hire Van der Giessen & Van Herk. Fast, clear and correct action!
A skilled team that knows what they're talking about, and simply takes everything into account, whether it’s small things or big things - everything is handled with knowledge and care. If you get stuck somewhere, you can always contact us, be it by email or phone. I am super satisfied and through this way I also want to thank you immensely for the good service and guidance in the sale of my mother's house. I would like to particularly thank Joris…
From the first moment of our viewing led by Broker Joris, there was a good connection between us. Due to my -physical- limitation, it is nice if a viewing can proceed calmly. Joris took his time, was patient and friendly and showed a professional attitude towards us and the selling party. The situation regarding my disability was discussable. The offer we indicated was certainly accepted due to Joris's professional attitude and discussion with the selling party. If you are looking for a purchase broker, we would definitely recommend Broker Joris.
Very neat and reliable realtor. Works meticulously and has knowledge of the profession that many realtors don't have these days! Gave good advice for the sale of a house. All around a very pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend them!!!
Professional real estate agency. Communication was fast and pleasant. Property sold within 3 days.
Nice realtor, understands the business well. Gives good advice and is easily accessible. In short a realtor to build with.
The agent, Joris, felt exactly what we wanted and what our expectations were. We could always reach him.
A fine broker who acts quickly. Throughout the entire process, we were perfectly informed about the progress.
Contact with Joris was very pleasant. He was always reachable, even outside of working hours. If I had questions, they were always answered and otherwise by his colleagues. A pleasant collaboration and definitely recommended.
What an unbelievably bad realtor this is. Twice a viewing was scheduled for the same house, where we both had to take a day off, and you're just called off 2 hours beforehand because the house suddenly sold? I don't think this is quite the right way to treat people. When we need a realtor or see a nice house with vd Giesen&v Herk real estate agents, we will definitely skip them. A nasty taste in my mouth, damn it!
This realtor is so antisocial that I would not recommend him to anyone.
A fine and professional office where they are always ready for you. Questions are answered quickly, and the real estate agent has a lot of knowledge of the region.
We had Van Der Giessen & Van Herk makelaardij to sell our house. However, the picture that was painted wasn't entirely fair; our house could potentially be sold quickly (Dec 2022). Our house ultimately stayed on the market for over 9 months with 2 price reductions! That is quite bizarre and unusual 'in this time'. We also always had to initiate the call when things weren't going well, and a strategy needed to be discussed. At one point, it was so quiet that they said from their side that if no one came to an open day anymore, removing the house from the market might be the only remaining option! You really can't sell like that as a selling real estate agent (who were supposed to represent our interests). The communication also didn't always go smoothly. We have had all real estate agents and property advisors (including after the takeover of Woonschuijt makelaardij); so there wasn't one fixed point of contact, which didn't improve communication. Afterwards, we gathered information for the sale of our house within our own network and implemented it. After that, our house was indeed sold. Why then only 2 stars? They were friendly. We therefore do not recommend them.
Incorrect information about the purchased house and the house was not empty upon delivery
Super
We had good contact with the real estate agent and were kept informed about everything. Customer-friendly and definitely recommendable
Joris, fine flexible broker, reliable, concrete, understanding of affairs and especially people skills (-:
Contact flowed very smoothly and with short lines. The agent quickly addressed issues where needed. Overall, a pleasant collaboration with good expertise and advice!
My realtor was Mr. Hakstege, from the first meeting it was immediately clear, this is THE realtor through whom you want to have your property sold. Mr. Hakstege, besides his very extensive knowledge of the subject matter, his incredible drive to deliver perfect work and quality, is also a very accessible person, everything is negotiable and Mr. Hakstege gives a clear and realistic picture, a man of his word, clear and straightforward communication, short lines. Furthermore, I want to…
It doesn't happen to me often. But I have no critical points. Everything went perfectly. No ups and or remarks.
The sale and purchase of my house and new home went well, quickly and correctly. This realtor is a good choice Top!
It was a pleasant collaboration with Jordi, making quick decisions and quickly adapting was very nice. Can definitely recommend this realtor.
We had a really great realtor! He helped us very well with the negotiations of the house. The communication went smoothly. I recommend this realtor to everyone.
Everything went fine with the real estate agent. He keeps his appointments and is clear about how things work.
The entire process from getting acquainted to selling the house went perfectly and flawlessly. Available at all times, even in the evening hours. Top service and skilled.
Jordi helped us well with the purchase of our house. He is knowledgeable and advised us well during the purchase.
Jordi Soares has helped us very well. We could always call him and he always had patience and time for us. Who can say bought and sold in a week.
Good communication and pleasant contact, otherwise nothing to report but I have to write at least 100 letters 😅
Contacted the real estate agent during the purchase of a new home, and chose to have them sell our current home as well due to the pleasant contact. We are fully satisfied.
Good preparation process leading up to the sale, in which it was made clear what could be expected. The guidance led to a sale with which I am very satisfied. Agent possesses valuable knowledge about the local market.
The agent responds quickly and well to questions from clients and potential buyers. Pays very close attention to the client's wishes and gives good advice.
Good advice from our realtor Jordi. Pleasant and good contact, also with the lady at the office. Beautiful and clear atmosphere photos of our beautiful house were taken. Our property was sold very quickly!
Our realtor was very involved. No question was too much for him. He was always available so that our questions could be answered. He gave us good advice which we could use. We were very satisfied!
The contact went well, we were kept well informed of the state of affairs. They are friendly brokers.
The contact was very pleasant, he was always ready for us. Even when we didn't quite understand everything, he explained it all perfectly to us. We could always call Jordi Suarez.
From the first contact, everything went very smoothly with all employees. All appointments were kept meticulously and the house sold faster than expected. I also sold my previous house through Richard van der Giessen and will definitely approach him again for any future move. Joris handled the viewings further and was my point of contact. Very expert and pleasant to communicate with as well. Highly recommended for everyone!
Easily accessible at various times. In addition, I was well assisted by his expertise. Highly recommended!
Jordi Suarez is truly a top performer, clear and keeps everything easy and simple. The contact was great. He kept us informed about everything and responds very quickly when I had a question. In one word: what a top performer.
Very satisfied. Always reachable. Quick response. Friendly and knows what they are talking about. I would definitely recommend this broker.
The contact went smoothly, we immediately felt at ease. The real estate agent immediately saw opportunities to connect our house with a buyer, so we didn't have to go on the market.
Experienced a very pleasant sales process. Clear communication at all times. Recommended to do business with this realtor.
Excellent. Well handled, easily reachable by phone. Viewings neatly left behind. Good communication with the viewers and kept informed.
Contact was excellent. A flexible broker who quickly responds. Also considering expertise and advocating for his client, really very good!
Very good experience with the sale of my house. Guided the entire process, kept me continuously updated and the house was ultimately sold quickly with a nice result. Absolutely recommended!
The real estate agent listened well to our wishes and ultimately sold both quickly and at a good price.
Do you want to sell your house? I can wholeheartedly recommend Van der Giessen & Van Herk Makelaars! It was very pleasant working with Joris: he is clear, friendly, easily accessible and professional. I also greatly appreciated his speed: everything was arranged within a few weeks, from the introduction to the sale, because Joris thought ahead, advised and took action, so nice! I also received neat feedback on the viewings, which kept me well informed throughout the entire process…
Excellent guidance during the sale. Despite all the complicated circumstances, it was brought to a good end.
Excellent realtor. Excellent advice, they really think along with you. And no question is too much. Top !! Highly recommended
Jordy and Joris were very knowledgeable and helpful. Unfortunately, there weren't a lot of things to view but that has to do with this time.
Top Broker Everything went neatly, always kept well informed of ongoing matters. Very good we are very satisfied
This brokerage and especially the founder has brokered several houses with us and therefore forms a familiar picture
I would definitely recommend Van der Giessen & Van Herk. Great help from Jordi and Joris. They think along with you! Marcella
Dear Sir/Madam, based on my previous experiences with various real estate agencies in the past. I sincerely and with pleasure summarize my personal experience in one word: Bravo! This for the top communication and guidance by one of your employees, whom I would like to mention by name, Jordi Suares, thank you kindly for the entire process! …
Expertise is highly valued, as are friendliness and openness. The real estate agent guided us excellently and kept us informed of the results of the viewings.
The real estate agent knew how to promote the house well, with the possibility of a 3D tour. Furthermore, they were well informed, sharp in their guidance and provided top service throughout the entire process.
We had a very pleasant contact and adequately addressed all our questions and wishes, and being able to consult with all employees in this way.
House sold within a week. The first realtor had already tried for 3 months without success. Sometimes it's not so crazy to switch.
I'll keep it short, I am very satisfied with Van der Giessen & van Herk. They are very involved and always accessible, always ready to help you. Excellent service and I would definitely recommend them, truly a topper. Very heartfelt thanks for the quick processing and top service. Keep up the good work!
Bought a house through this broker, which went quite well overall. However, they forgot to mention that the shed (7m2) bordering the plot was not part of the house…., while it was cheerfully advertised via Funda and during the viewing. You would expect a broker to know what he is selling, unfortunately, this was not the case. So we received the bill for this afterwards, and the broker could no longer do anything for us. The sale was already finalized and the money had been earned.
Very bad experience with this broker (Richard). Agreed appointments are not kept, barely reachable. In addition, you are lied to straight to your face. I hope to be able to share a better experience in the future, but that is not going to happen now.
Excellent real estate agent, clear and good agreements
Incredibly delicious food
Highly skilled real estate agency with a focus on their clients. Thanks to clear communication and good consultation, they are the right address for selling your property. Should we ever move again, they are the party with whom we would definitely do business again.
Selling a house with 16m2 less than what is stated. In addition, the resident is still present in his house on the transfer date, with furniture and pets. Really, what amateurs!
Poor communication
Very nice realtor who thinks along with solutions! keep up the good work Richard.
They are very kind people, and they also really tried their best to sell my house. Successfully, I might add, because it was sold within 4 months. But I can't really say that they made an effort to find a house for me, while they had promised to do so. Otherwise, a fine real estate agent, but now I have found a lovely apartment myself!
Results are based on the last 12 months.
