Smit & Douma Makelaars

The sale of our house was accompanied by Joan Smit. Professional real estate agent with good knowledge of the housing market. Beautifully maintained presentation of the house. In the sales process there was clear communication from Joan and his team. We are very satisfied with how the process has gone. We can recommend this real estate agent to everyone. Family Haalstra

After the sale with our first real estate agent completely failed, Joan Smit has helped us very professionally. There was also a lot of human touch, where our story was heard, realistic expectations were discussed and everything was considered everywhere and no question was too much. We are extremely happy that we chose this real estate agent again!

Rudy Douma is very pleasant to work with, has a sober business proactive working method and is therefore top in his way of service. From Smit & Douma he is effectively supported by among others Ingrid and other colleagues. In short: a recommendation!

Thanks to Rudy, our purchase agent, we were able to buy our house already after the first viewing. They were involved, honest and always available for questions. We felt really supported throughout the entire process. Absolutely a recommendation!

Transparent communication via WhatsApp group. Nice targeted actions and presentations. Good follow-up.

Moderate to no client orientation towards buyers and sellers, no proactiveness and creativity, thin standard approach which is focused on the commission, bad communication, no fixed contact person, gives incorrect expectations... I do not recommend this real estate agent, quite the opposite.

We are very pleased with the way things are going. I would definitely recommend Smit & Douma as agents. The matters are discussed and they are friendly people, no fuss.

We found this a very nice real estate agent. Low threshold, honest and friendly. We definitely recommend this real estate agent.

All matters have been well explained + done and arranged. The contact was always nice 😊 our property is therefore sold in a reliable manner.

We are well and nicely helped by our real estate agent! Reachability and support from the office is also great.

Understood my wishes well and did their best to realize them. And that was successful! Was thereby very much helped!

Everything is fine, no negative things to find. Very helpful and expert. Next time the same real estate agent again, then for the third time. Thank you.

The conversations were enlightening and the course clear. In particular short time Joan managed to arrange everything: the photographer (recommender!), the online presentation and the viewings. The contact proceeded smoothly and therefore we could decide quickly.

Communication and support were very good. Easy to reach and you get quick responses to your questions. They are professional, know what they are talking about

Contact with the realtor was smooth, they were easy to reach and approachable. They are knowledgeable and friendly.

The contact went excellently! There was a quick and clear response. Clear explanation. Understanding of the situation.

Nice, engaged realtor for both buying and selling! Recommended!

The sale of our house was handled by Rudy Douma. We were always kept well informed about how the viewings went. The entire process proceeded very smoothly. We can wholeheartedly recommend Smit & Douma.

Smit & Douma sold 2 properties for me. And, to my complete satisfaction. Even though the market didn't always do what we expected, they adequately responded to this. Flexibility, communication and knowledge. Very satisfied with the handling!

Via family, we ended up with Smit and Douma. Joan guided us through the sale of our house. A pleasant collaboration from start to finish and a clear story. His calmness gave us a very familiar feeling. Contact was via app, which is quick and you can read it back later. I would definitely recommend Smit and Douma!

The contact itself went well, but the property was put on Funda too quickly and potential buyers were slow to make decisions, costing us effectively 3 weeks while other buyers were also ready.

Had a pleasant personal contact with our sales broker during the process. We are happy that we chose Smit & Douma.

Good contact with the real estate agent. He is flexible with times, which makes it possible to work together quickly and efficiently!

Process went smoothly without issues. The WhatsApp group and digital support are great and make the whole thing easier. People are also pleasant to communicate with.

Good advice and lots of trust. Able to listen well to us and kept his appointments. Appointments were properly and carefully followed up.

Good contact, quick response. They keep me informed of viewings and also provide a report afterwards. The photos were taken quickly, professionally, and put online quickly as well.

We were very impressed with the good market knowledge. The property presentation was also original and well taken care of. We can certainly recommend them.

Joan is a very skilled and knowledgeable realtor. He knows the market well and has a lot of experience. Very satisfied!

Contact with Rudi Douma went very well. He responded quickly to messages and phone calls and delivered on what he had promised. He also immediately mentioned a realistic selling price. According to us, a real estate agent should provide support and he actually did that.

The contact went very well. Fast, accurate, transparent, very friendly and always available.

Pleasant personal contact. We could always ask questions, which were also answered. The agent inspired confidence, which was certainly not disappointed. A broker who is willing to go that extra mile. We felt heard and are sure that choosing this broker was a good choice.

Contact with the real estate agent was very good. He is knowledgeable and helped us excellently through the sale of the house.

We had a pleasant experience with the sale of our house! Everything was arranged quickly and we found the contact with the real estate agent very agreeable. We appreciated receiving an update from the real estate agent after each viewing day about the interested parties in our house, which gave us a good picture of how the viewings went and who the potential buyers were.

Contact with our broker Joan for the sale of our house was very pleasant from the beginning. It felt familiar, was always accessible for questions and really thought along with us. We greatly appreciated the updates after each viewing and the beautiful photos of the property. A broker we would recommend to everyone for selling their home!

Excellent collaboration with both gentlemen. This was the second time and very satisfied. The house was sold without problems.

Everything is all arranged perfectly well. It also went very quickly. The first viewer turned out to be the buyer in the end. The men from Smit and Douma are very skilled. They made fantastic photos and videos.

Contact with the real estate agent was excellent. Quick responses. Furthermore, good advice regarding the asking price and selling price. In short, more than satisfied.

Expert, friendly, quickly and clearly answer all questions. Very nice to have on board when buying a house or apartment.

Pleasant contact during my search. Also, being able to communicate via WhatsApp always works easily and quickly.

I am not a client of this real estate agent, but I am receiving unsolicited spam (by mail) because they recently sold a property in our neighborhood. I have not given permission to receive advertising from you.

Very nice people at Smit and Douma real estate agents. When we purchased our current home 5 years ago, we were already positive about them. A lot was done back then in the hectic time to secure a property. Now, 5 years later, they are selling for us. Joan is always available to clarify questions and uncertainties. Joan is professional, direct, clear, and importantly down to earth.

Joan and Rudy guided us through the buying and selling process. After inviting three local real estate agents, it was actually quite clear to us that we would choose Smit and Douma. During the first meeting, they immediately took a good look at our house and measured it directly so Joan could determine a good price based on comparable properties. Joan was also able to provide a lot of certainty about the price we could expect, so we could adjust our budget accordingly. When it came to properties for purchase, thorough research was done and comparable properties and their bidding behavior were analyzed. We also experienced both processes as very positive. Joan and Rudy were also available on weekends if quick decisions had to be made for both the sale and purchase. They create contracts digitally so that we, as buyers and sellers, can sign quickly, which speeds up the cooling-off period. For us as sellers, this provides quick certainty. All in all, very satisfied. We hope to live in our new house for a long time, but if we ever move again, we will definitely involve Joan and Rudy again.

Joan and Rudy excellently guided us in searching for, and ultimately purchasing, our first home. Due to the challenging housing market, we had several viewings in the city of Groningen and the surrounding villages. Joan or Rudy were always happy to accompany us without complaint, and we greatly benefited from their expert comments on the properties. We also really appreciated discussing what we truly seek in a home and the suggestions for realistic bids. An absolute recommendation as a buyer's agent. Thanks for the guidance! Gert-Jan and Anouk

Smit and Douma guided us both during the sale and purchase of our new home. Excellent advice, extensive market knowledge, and a pleasant collaboration. Highly recommended to engage Smit and Douma.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Smit & Douwma due to their expertise, speed and excellent communication. Both when buying and selling our house, they provided us with outstanding service.

This great service makes them the perfect choice for anyone looking for a reliable real estate agent.

From the first contact to the handover of our old house, Rudi has supported us wonderfully. The contact was very pleasant, informal and yet professional. Thanks in part to Rudi, we now live in our dream home!

Excellent contact with the broker and expert advice. What particularly impressed us is that the broker doesn't let themselves be 'rushed' by the current housing market and can realize tailor-made solutions when it comes to our wishes as clients. Absolutely recommendable both as a buyer’s and seller’s agent!

Joan and Rudy supported me well with the sale of my house and the purchase of my new house. They put themselves to good use for me. I can certainly recommend them to you!

It was a pleasant collaboration. We were also guided with problem buying another house. That was highly appreciated by us. We are very satisfied. I can recommend our real estate agent to everyone.

Regarding the purchase process, we experienced Real Estate Agent Smit & Douma as very pleasant. Reliable, calm, collaborative and knowledgeable! It gave us, as a buying/searching party, a lot of peace of mind.

Very professional yet very personal contact. We would also like to involve them in the sale of our current home. Highly recommended!

Good communication, kept well informed about the progress and the steps still to be taken. Easy to contact without fuss. Very pleasant experience!

I would recommend everyone to take them as a real estate agent. This has already been done with results. Quickly and patiently responded to questions and phone calls both when buying and selling my homes.

Fantastic, personal, knowledgeable and engaged real estate agent. Highly recommended for buying or selling your home.

Excellent service from our real estate agent, easily accessible via various social media platforms. The handover regarding the holiday also went well.

Together with the real estate agent, we reviewed the overall market situation and the local market in Roden, and jointly determined a sales strategy. Our real estate agent (Rudy) was very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with and expert, but ultimately gave us complete freedom in setting the asking price.

The contact went very well, we were kept well informed of whatever was going to happen. The contact with viewings also went well.

A very professional real estate agent with a good personal connection who knows the local market very well.

Contact ran smoothly. We immediately had a good feeling about them. Recommended. A daily report of the viewings. That way you stayed informed.

Very quick and adequate, good knowledge, fast service and excellent customer focus. Good and swift contact via email and phone.

Joan and Rudy were of great help to us. Both in the purchase and sales process! Highly recommended.

A realtor I would recommend to everyone. Clear communication, good team and pleasant collaboration.

Clear and informal communication, short lines, sales started quickly and also sold quickly. Definitely recommended.

During the period of buying our new house and selling our own house, we were very expertly helped by Rudy but also Joan. There was a pleasant contact, with quick responses to questions, and an update after each viewing regarding your assessment. We had confidence in you, and that is important. You are a good, familiar, expert, friendly, and thoughtful team. Thank you very much for everything. Wim and Jannie

Excellent service and go the extra mile for you. Quick and easy contact via WhatsApp.

For the sale of our house, we made use of the expertise and services of Joan Smit, and we are very happy with that! Clear communication, clear explanation and sincere advice; Joan knows how to combine the business aspect very well with the human aspect. (It remains exciting to sell your house) Joan was easily accessible for questions or consultation (through the group app) and kept us well informed about the entire process. It went smoothly for us and thanks to Joan's guidance, everything proceeded smoothly. They also work with a friendly and skilled photographer. Highly recommended!

Due to the passing of my father and not knowing about houses in this rather hectic period, Smit and Douma were chosen as a real estate agent. I can only say that everything was explained well and the help was fantastic. Very friendly people and great feedback everywhere. A big compliment. An absolute recommendation!

We had a very good experience with Smit and Douma. Good assessment of the value of our house. Attracted the right potential buyers. The guidance throughout the entire sales process was pleasant and involved.

Pleasant collaboration. Good consultation. Well informed about all steps taken. Good advice.

A broker who knows their stuff. Listens to the client's wishes. Thinks along, helps and is accessible. Good knowledge regarding properties and what’s happening in the market. Simple and fast communication.

The contact was very good with both Rudy and Ingrid at the office, always very good, thank you very much for that.

Great help from Joan, quickly reachable, pleasant contact, and ultimately got the house thanks to the good advice!

The process of selling our house was very pleasant from beginning to end. Thanks to the expert and conscientious guidance, we felt confident and safe with real estate agent Joan Smit. We are also very satisfied with the photographer of this agency who created a fitting and artistic report.

A friendly real estate agent who communicates well with us via the group chat and discusses our wishes with us.

(2019) Very good experiences with Smit & Douma as buyer's agents. They respond quickly, think very well along, are critical and the communication went very smoothly. (2022) Three years later we needed a selling agent and based on the experience in 2019 we chose Smit en Douma again. Once again an excellent experience with good advice, a smooth sale and all my worries were immediately removed or solved. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience in the guidance / handling of the sale of my house. No nonsense, direct, approachable and clear. You are well informed about the progress!

Joan Smit is a driven real estate agent who really knows what he's talking about. Good guidance from the first moment to the final sale. In short, we are very satisfied!

Sober and no nonsense, that's how Joan is. He helped and supported us tremendously. Gives clear and honest advice! Always available. Thanks Joan!

The feeling that remained after the first conversation was more than justified by J. Smid and R. Douma. Both are expert and their construction knowledge has helped us enormously on several occasions. In addition, they always give their honest opinion about the property, which is highly appreciated. They are easily accessible, even in the evenings and weekends. All of this ensured that we were still able to acquire a beautiful home. In short, all praise for this real estate agency!

We used Smit & Douma Makelaars both for the purchase of our new house and for the sale of our current home. The entire buying and selling process went exceptionally well. Smit & Douma distinguish themselves through a personal and reliable approach, no-nonsense attitude, and short lines of communication. No fluff. Daily updates via the created group app and always an immediate answer to your questions. That has ensured a stress-free time: that is worth enormously much. Also, our house was sold quickly and well. We mainly dealt with real estate agent Joan Smit. When Joan was temporarily unavailable due to workload, you could effortlessly fall back on Rudy Douma. We wholeheartedly recommend Smit and Douma to everyone!

Knowledgeable and professional. Both in the purchase of our new home and for the sale of our current home. Communication, both personally and via telephone, email and app, went very well. We were regularly kept informed about the progress of the viewings and the reactions. Extensive photos and a beautiful video on Funda certainly contributed to the fact that there was a lot of interest in our house with ultimately a very good sales result. We definitely recommend Smit en Douma.

Friendly and knowledgeable gentlemen who helped us with the purchase of our house. Always accessible, many tips during the viewings, and negotiated well with us. No unnecessary luxury in this housing market. Highly recommended!

Received help multiple times from this realtor (both buying and selling). Had good contact with both realtors. Pleasant way of communicating, good advice and enough room for own input. The realtors have a lot of knowledge of the current market. On a rainy day, the photos of our house were taken, nothing of that is visible on Funda. They turned out to be very beautiful and bright photos.

Pleasant partner with excellent knowledge of the (local) housing market. Professional approach to the sales strategy to be followed. Excellent way of guiding in the area of marketing and sales support. Very correct in handling paperwork and/or helping with filling it out. Direct, fast and short communication channels between seller and future buyer. Good accessibility of the real estate agency in Roden and the people. This broker is also very open to suggestions and ideas from us as the selling party.

We wanted to move closer to the grandchildren and therefore started looking for a real estate agent in Roden for our house. Through my work as troubleshooting technicians in Roden and surrounding areas, I heard good experiences about Smit & Douma real estate agents...we enlisted their help with the sale of our house. Well, the experiences I had heard from customers were accurate. We first had a good conversation with Rudi Bouwma and they listened carefully to us. They got to work for us. A lot of contact by phone and via WhatsApp. Even the contact after 17:00 was very nice considering our work...They sold our house in a short period of time, and afterwards everything was handled clearly and quickly. When you are looking for a real estate agent, we can give you positive advice about this agency. Kind regards Arnold and Hermina

Smit & Douma real estate agents were taken into consideration when selling our house. They listened well to what we wanted. We found the contact via the app very pleasant. When you are looking for a real estate agent, we can give you positive advice about this agency.

We engaged Smit and Douma for advice regarding the sale of our house and the purchase of another property. Prior to that, Mr. Smit visited us at home to determine the asking price. We had a very pleasant conversation with each other. After we went on vacation, everything suddenly accelerated. We found another property that perfectly meets our housing wishes. In this process, we brought Mr. Smit along as a buyer's agent. Very accurate and above all very honest, we discussed all pros and cons with each other. Ultimately, we were able to purchase this property. Then we reached the point where our house had to be sold quickly. The photographer came within a week, and several days after the photography, the house was listed on funda. The sale was also very pleasantly handled by this real estate agency. We were kept well informed and could always share our questions or comments via phone, email, or app. We hope not to move again in the coming years, but we would definitely recommend Smit and Douma!!

Recently, we had an appraisal carried out by Smit & Douma. We are very satisfied with the accuracy during the execution of the appraisal. In addition, we already had the appraisal report in our possession a few days later, top! We absolutely recommend Smit & Douma Makelaars due to their expertise, friendly approach and competitive prices.
