Blijdorp Makelaardij

With Blijdorp Real Estate, we were able to get the house we wanted at a good price! Definitely recommended: fast communication, quickly available for viewings and good at negotiations.

Good availability, small office so you don't feel like a number. Receives support from the whole team.

Recently sold my home through Blijdorp Makelaardij and very satisfied with this! The team is highly involved and well informed about the status of your file when you contact them. In addition, the team has a lot of experience and knowledge of the housing market which gives me, as a seller, a feeling of confidence. Appointments are kept properly, communication runs quickly and there is brainstorming on how to achieve the best result.

Guidance and contact were excellent. I was continuously kept informed. They know the market well and are proactive.

Michel was very professional from start to finish and really gave us excellent guidance. He made us aware of everything we needed to look at and gave us all the pitfalls that we needed to know when viewing apartments. He also helped us significantly in the negotiations and coming up with a good offer. Would definitely recommend Michel when looking to buy an apartment.

Always quick contact, good advice and understands the subject matter. In short, very satisfied with this realtor.

Great contact, quick response and very much expertise. It was a pleasant experience from beginning to end!

They are irresponsible, they do not respect your time and the appointment they made with you. They fail to show up for appointments and also do not inform you beforehand.

We had a good collaboration. Our input was listened to and we were involved in the thinking process. We could always contact them with questions. Easily accessible, know what they are doing, familiar with the neighborhood.

The service of Blijdorp Makelaardij is exceptionally good, my house was sold within a week! And that speed did not detract from the further service; they are personal, professional, very expert, honest, communicatively highly skilled, and exceed all expectations. This service is of top quality!

??Today I received the verdict in a civil lawsuit that Blijdorp Makelaardij, represented by Michel Velickovic, Registered Broker and Appraiser, had filed against me because I didn't want to pay his invoice for the appraisal of my house as I felt his appraised value was ridiculously low. More than € 40,000.00 euros less! than the appraisers before and after him who have appraised the same property! A few thousand euros difference can always be tolerated, but this was simply a failure to perform. I felt disadvantaged and had informed him that I would not pay the invoice and if he wanted his money, he should file a lawsuit. And that's what he did….. The judge gave him every opportunity to provide evidence for this absurdly low appraisal. But beyond painting the house black, he didn’t go. Small garden, torn wallpaper, smell of animals, roof not good, cracks in the facade – you couldn't make it up; there was something wrong with this 1930s home. I tried to explain that the house was structurally completely different from the adjacent properties and also had just been sold. Insulated concrete floors with underfloor heating. Comfort class 5 water supply, large conservatory attached to the house, which he didn't see as a garden, while a conservatory is truly a garden room. But all in all, it’s a very well-equipped house in this price range. As I am a contractor myself, I think I know what I'm talking about. In an interim judgment, the judge stated that if he could not provide further evidence, she was inclined to rule in my favor. She gave him another chance to withdraw. She also instructed him and his lawyer to ‘look in the hallway’ to see if a compromise was possible. I had so much confidence that I would win the lawsuit that I didn't even bother hiring a lawyer. So when I sat vulnerable, waiting for a proposal on a bench in the hallway of the courthouse….. it turned out this case was unnecessary. Without saying a word, they walked back into the courtroom without giving me so much as a glance. Like a small child, I was ignored. He continued to bash the judge about how well he understood his profession. And that the other brokers knew nothing…. He was very precise with measurements and they were more or less amateurs…. After another round of providing evidence, the lawsuit ended and we had to wait a few months for the verdict. And the verdict reads: It is established that Blijdorp Makelaardij failed to fulfill the terms of the assignment agreement between the parties by setting the property value too low. And is therefore condemned to pay the legal costs. I considered, after jumping for joy, leaving it at that. But if you are more than € 40,000.00 below the appraised value of several of your colleagues, you deserve a rap on the finger. The judge did this several times but Michel Velickovic is so convinced of his correctness that even a very rational judge could not teach him the wisdom of knowing when to cut your losses. A simple okay, I was perhaps a little too far off and I accept my loss would have been sufficient. But the man is acting so authoritarian that I almost feel sorry for his colleagues. There is simply only one truth and that is his…. Glad the judge saw this! I see that many maximum ‘stars’ are given in reviews about this brokerage firm. But would they have given them if other brokers had perhaps appraised their house € 40,000.00 euros higher? Note!! On a house of around € 200,000.00….. I thought it was a disgrace! For me, € 40,000.00 is a lot of money! So just one star from me because I can't give any lower. And it’s certainly not my intention to ruin his business! But if you are that arrogant and treat me like dirt sitting in the hallway waiting like a small child…. You deserve it. So, getting your house appraised? Think twice before you start! Kind regards, B. Oversluizen

We are very satisfied with the guidance regarding the sale of our house. Michel is easy to reach, friendly, skilled and provides clear explanations about the sales process. …

The Blijdorp team is expert, reliable, fast and very friendly. Free of formalities and averse to bureaucracy You couldn't wish for a better real estate agent!!!

Contact was excellent. They think along with you and especially listen attentively. Advise where necessary. We had an outstanding contact and are very satisfied with Blijdorp Makelaardij.

As a buyer, I viewed the house twice and received a very pleasant welcome from Delano. He gave me, just like Michel who later joined, lots of information, but also the space to walk around the house myself. The contact with the office was also good; my questions were quickly answered by the salesperson via Shirley, allowing me to get everything in order immediately. Contacting them multiple times was also not a problem at all. In short: a pleasant experience as a buyer, which I have sometimes experienced differently. Thank you!

The agents are friendly enough, but I'm not happy that they double-book all appointments and you therefore walk around with other people during a viewing; the competition does that much better. If you want to buy a property for 400K, I would at least expect some personal attention during a viewing, instead of 'just start in that room because there are already people in this room'.

I would rather not give them a star at all, even 1 is too much!!! We had a very bad experience with this agency!

Michel was always easily accessible and responded quickly. Even with more difficult issues, things were handled effectively to achieve the best possible outcome, and he did his utmost best.

Everyone was easily accessible and helpful, very personal and professional realtor. Benefited greatly from both sales and purchases.

After contacting several real estate agents, I am happy with my current knowledge that I chose Blijdorp Makelaardij. It is a small and professional team with extensive experience in the Rotterdam housing market. From taking the photos to the transfer at the notary's office, everything went well. The initially estimated yield turned out to be very realistic. Therefore, I can absolutely recommend this real estate agent!

Pleasant communication and you are well informed about the progress in the process. That is pleasant.

Our house had to be re-assessed and that was arranged extremely quickly and competently. But especially the availability both by phone and email stood out positively. No question or concern was too much or too difficult.

Michel has been very helpful with the appraisal. We are very happy with it.

Unprofessional

I am very satisfied with Blijdorp real estate agency. Professional, involved and respond adequately. Which made this property possible. A strong recommendation!

Okay, many thanks! Happy with our choice for Blijdorp Makelaars! Good negotiations done, beautiful presentation and always willing to discuss.

Contact with Blijdorp Makelaardij went well. There was smooth and very pleasant communication with all employees.

Good progress. As a tip, let someone know, even if there are no viewings. Then you know something, because you're waiting in suspense anyway.

Recommended to leave your house or whatever to this broker. I'll stop it here and make my own choices next seller

Very satisfied with Blijdorp Makelaardij. I have experienced the service from the back office as very excellent, especially. Always accessible for questions, feedback after viewings and relieving burdens in the final phase with buyers. Contact with the real estate agents also went smoothly. Of the three requested quotes, Blijdorp Makelaar came out as the sharpest with an all-in price. The advice on selling price was slightly higher compared to other brokers. In consultation, we adjusted it a little. …

Easily accessible and clear communication. During negotiations, it was possible to quickly adapt and the advice was well-supported. Without Michel, we probably would have been swept up in the madness and certainly overbid.

Contact with Michel went very smoothly and we clicked well together. He is knowledgeable and helped us greatly to place a suitable and ultimately winning bid. Furthermore, there was always someone within Michel's team available to speak with us by phone or email. Within one week after the viewing, we had written agreement from the seller!

I was well guided through this exciting process. Easily accessible. And patiently explaining everything that was unclear to me. Very satisfied! (:

Very nice realtor who thinks along and is always reachable. Both purchase and sale guidance are very good and because they are not too big, they offer a lot of personal attention.

Everything went great with Blijdorp real estate agents! They were very helpful with everything. We sold our little house quickly 👍

Friendly and helpful. The house was sold very smoothly. Transfer is July 1st, 2024, but expect that everything will be properly guided.

I totally recommend them, they are fast, responsive and guard your interest in the best possible way.

The real estate agent really went above and beyond to sell the property, even if he also had to help the buyers with the right mortgage advisor and appraisal.

The collaboration with Blijdorp Makelaardij went well for us. Their views on preparing the property for sale also clearly helped. Our compliments.

A good and friendly realtor in contact. We were also provided with good, tailored advice, and the realtor understood his profession well, with many tips and help. I would definitely recommend the realtor.

Contact with Blijdorp went well. I received an update before and after each viewing. I would recommend Blijdorp.

Very nice and expert realtor! Helped us very well with the purchase of our new home.

The real estate agent can be reached via app, phone and email and action is taken immediately. We also received expert advice beforehand during the negotiation.

Blijdorp Makelaardij is a knowledgeable and reliable agency who made the process of buying a new house a piece of cake. Recommended.

Michel is an expert real estate agent who communicates pleasantly and clearly. Upon the first request, we were immediately reimbursed and he was very customer-focused right away. His professionalism gave us confidence that the property we purchased was in good condition. In addition, his general advice regarding the entire process was very nice.

The sale of the house went well. I let the real estate agent do his thing, and that went smoothly. The people at Blijdorp Makelaardij have a good knowledge of what houses in this neighborhood are worth and which sales strategy can be best used.

Always easily accessible, friendly, reliable and expert. Moreover, the people of Blijdorp Makelaardij maintain a certain realistic calmness, something that we as sellers of our house benefited greatly from. You certainly can't catch them playing panic football. You really build a bond with them. Also worth mentioning: we had several estate agents visit our house to determine an asking price. Blijdorp estimated this by far the best. And then it despite more viewings…

Could switch gears particularly quickly, knows the market well and completely took care of everything for me in the process. Very nice indeed.

Good advice beforehand, accurately predicted how the sale and price were expected to proceed. Pleasant contact with the colleagues from the office.

Engaged and friendly real estate agency that understands the market and is realistic. My house was sold in 10 days.

We are very satisfied with the process and guidance. With the changing market it was quite exciting, but we feel that the team has done everything possible. The communication also went very smoothly.

Very good realtor, able to quickly respond with a successful outcome. All of this for an affordable price. Absolutely recommended.

I am very satisfied with the guidance provided by Blijdorp. Easily reachable by phone, quick responses via email.

I recently bought a house that is managed by Blijdorp Makelaardij. I did everything myself, without a buyer's agent. The funny thing is: if I ever sell my house, I want them to be the real estate agent. The team consists of four passionate people, which makes them unique. Unlike other large real estate agents, they do their work with passion. They are also super helpful and attentive. I really had a very good experience with them!

Good realtor, pleasant contact. Definitely recommended.

Experienced an incredibly pleasant collaboration with the entire team! They advocated well for my interests! Highly recommended!

Good service, and stands up for his customers

The communication by phone and email with Blijdorp Makelaardij for the sale of my house went well. I was kept neatly informed of the progress. I could always reach the real estate agent. The matters that needed to be arranged were always executed on time and as agreed. I was fully relieved and supported with the sales process of the property.

There are many complications when moving, I can honestly say that Blijdorp Makelaardij made it very easy for me and that my experience went as smoothly as possible. If you plan to buy, sell or move, I definitely recommend them!

Blijdorp Real Estate, thank you for the pleasant collaboration! The sale of our apartment went really smoothly. We experienced communication with the team at Blijdorp as very agreeable and were certainly well informed about all sorts of things in preparation for the sale. Our challenge was that we wanted to sell the apartment within a short timeframe, and Blijdorp succeeded.

We needed an appraisal report for our mortgage and after contacting several real estate agents, we went with Blijdorp Real Estate. They were quick and clear, also providing advice on the negative points and critically reviewing everything. We received a clear and neutral appraisal report.

Perfect service.

Very happy with Blijdorp Makelaar, Michael quickly and clearly resolved the problem for us and in an understandable way, thanks greetings

Very well assisted with the purchase of our new house. Top service and when needed, action was taken very quickly which resulted in the successful purchase of our dream home.

Very satisfied with the service of Blijdorp Real Estate Agency. Michel and his team are always ready to assist you and take care of everything meticulously. They have a good understanding of the market and provide good advice.

Very pleasant realtor to work with. The house sold quickly.

With the help of Michel and Christiaan my apartment in Blijdorp was sold excellently. Honest, fast, always time for you and very good communication made it that I worked really well with them!

Michel helped us well with the purchase of a house. He was very helpful and gave good advice about the valuation of a house and what to offer to have a chance of getting it. The communication was super pleasant because it went very quickly, also with the back office. We are therefore very satisfied with Blijdorp Makelaardij and certainly recommend them.

Fine service, clear, professional and good communication.

We are happy that we have engaged a purchasing broker in this tense housing market. The people of Blijdorp Makelaardij are easy to reach, helpful and transparent in their way of working. It is truly thanks to the mediation of Blijdorp Makelaardij that the property has become ours. Without Michel, the property would certainly have passed us by.

All employees of Blijdorp Makelaardij are super professional and very pleasant to work with. They have good knowledge of the housing market, they think along with you and give good advice. They are always available and there is no question too many! In short...highly recommended!

We asked Blijdorp Real Estate to be both the buyer's agent for our new home and the seller's agent for our current property. This realtor has fulfilled both roles to our complete satisfaction. Blijdorp Real Estate gives the impression of being a not too large company with plenty of personal attention and guidance towards us as buyers and sellers. We always received quick answers to our questions. The photographer, the realtor who led the viewings of our house, the contacts with mortgage broker and notary: Everything was perfectly arranged. We can highly recommend Blijdorp Real Estate.

Very well assisted with our house sale. Friendly Rotterdam gentlemen who like to get things done. They ensure a proper sale and think along with you during negotiations. You are taken care of. Thanks Men :-).

The team at Blijdorp Makelaardij is characterized by their genuine Rotterdam approach. Michel and Delano work hard and well, are friendly and accessible, and helped us greatly throughout the (sales) process - both at the beginning, when we as sellers received a clear and understandable explanation of the sales process, and during and after, where it was for example no problem to schedule extra viewing moments when there appeared to be great interest. This also applies to the other members of the team, including Christiaan and Lisanne. In short: Blijdorp Makelaardij is a reliable party, which it is pleasant to work with. Certainly to sellers who live in the Rotterdam Blijdorp area and surrounding areas, we would wholeheartedly recommend Michel and his team.

We were very well guided and advised with the sale of the house. Very involved, helpful, and even at the strangest times when we called, we were still spoken to professionally. In short, highly recommended!!!

I found it difficult to find the right offer, but Michel Velickovic knew exactly. During the viewing, he asked the right questions and in the (lengthy) process towards the purchase, he kept a good eye on the important data and points of attention. Moreover, he is a very pleasant person!

Contact with the real estate agent went smoothly. Quickly made an appointment, beautiful photos and my property was sold very quickly. For the price that the real estate agent expected. So he certainly knows what he's doing and is well informed about market knowledge in Blijdorp Rotterdam. I definitely recommend this real estate agent.

Mich has helped us fantastically with the purchase of our home! In addition to good knowledge of the neighborhood and market, he is very sharp during viewings and asks the right questions (that we hadn't thought of). For us, he was completely super in the process after our bid was accepted. We were entering a long and difficult journey with the seller. He guided us very pleasantly through all procedures, deeds, permits and especially the relationship with the seller. In doing so, he knows how to negotiate well, friendly and sharp, and has managed to secure the best for us. Highly recommended.

Michel and his team have handled the sale of our homes twice for us in the last 3 years (Rotterdam and Riddkerk), which has delivered a beautiful result for us both times. Michel is skilled, involved, and communicates quickly and kindly. His team addresses issues promptly and advises where necessary. In short, a very pleasant collaboration that we can recommend to everyone.

Property sold successfully through Blijdorp Real Estate Agency, very satisfied with the services provided. The neat and clear communication makes working together pleasant.

I have asked Michel for help 2 times (when buying and selling) and each time he was very helpful, always defended my position and supported me with the procedures. I won’t work with anyone else if I need such help in the Netherlands again! Highly recommended!

My parents were excellently helped during the sale of their home by Blijdorp Makelaardij. Even in these strange corona times, they did their utmost to sell the house by scheduling more viewings with smaller groups.

Very professional real estate agency with a personal touch. Short lines, skilled. Very friendly people. You quickly know that they do everything possible to best represent your interests.

Extremely satisfied! Frequently used this office and always helpful, engaged and very professional.

Our current home was both purchased and sold through this brokerage and we are very satisfied. Professional people, they think along well and responded quickly to questions we had. We would definitely use the services of this company again for a future purchase or sale.

A lot of work came up (unexpectedly) with our request and everything was handled just as friendly and professionally, with attention to detail, clear communication and agreements. Truly excellent.

Top broker! Expert, friendly and helpful. Michel gives a realistic expectation of the selling price so you know what to expect. If the selling price ultimately turns out higher than expected, you still pay a fixed percentage in commission. I definitely recommend Blijdorp to everyone!

I engaged Blijdorp Makelaardij for the sale of an apartment in Rotterdam. During our first appointment, Michel (the realtor) clearly described his working method. The sales process went exactly as he had predicted beforehand. …

We are very satisfied with Michel and his services. He mediated in an arbitration procedure after Woonbron offered us a very low price for the repurchase of our house. The result was a much fairer and more market-conform assessment of the house. We wholeheartedly recommend him.

Very satisfied with the work and guidance of Blijdorp Makelaar. They kept their promises and even paid attention to the smallest details. Absolutely recommended!
