The contact has been personal and professional. If you want a real estate agent who communicates honestly & clearly, you should be with Dichtbij. They take care of everything. A real full service real estate agent. And even at Christmas, a very thoughtful present was brought!

The real estate agent is knowledgeable! Has a good understanding of the law and regulations and is easily accessible to all his customers. He is patient and listens well, takes good notes and also remembers well what I asked him.

Good contact via the app, came calm and competent and followed up on the appointments. Gave good tips for preparing the house for sale. Took away a bit of the tension that is logical when selling a house. We are happy with the result that Arjan and Renée have achieved for each other. A recommendation nearby!

The real estate agent at Dichtbij makelaardij is a very nice, friendly and knowledgeable agent. They have helped us very nicely and were always available for questions and other matters. Everything was handled perfectly and securely. We hope we never have to move again but if that is the case, we will definitely come back. We will certainly recommend you to others with moving plans. In short, we are very happy with you.

During the knowledge sharing it felt good and found the right real estate agent for the sale of my house. Especially the way of explanation and plan of approach. After the house went on sale, the communication became difficult and reachability did not meet the wishes. I found that they were not actively involved in selling my house, resulting in no viewings being planned. We have requested a personal conversation and visited the office and clearly made agreements and expectations ...

A real recommendation: Professional and empathetic real estate service! After living in the center of Rotterdam for 10 years, we had to recently sell our apartment urgently due to medical reasons in India. Finding a real estate agent who understood both the market and our personal urgency was our top priority.

Arjan's market knowledge, professional attitude and personal approach were clear from the beginning. The communication was consistently transparent, proactive and fast. He handled all our questions with a lot of patience and ensured a smooth and efficient process during a very difficult time for our family. We are extremely grateful to Arjan and his team for their exceptional support. We wholeheartedly recommend Dichtbij Makelaardij to our friends, colleagues and the expat community in the Netherlands.

Very clear and personal service. Arjan has excellently guided us through the entire process of buying our first apartment in the Netherlands. I highly recommend expats who don't speak fluent Dutch to engage Dichtbij Makelaardij for help with the purchase process, because they will do everything to ensure that your bid goes through. The language barrier is one thing, but exploring the Dutch bureaucracy is a whole other challenge. You can rely on them to give you their honest opinion about the houses you are going to view and that they put your interests first. They make sure that you get the best possible deal.

The communication with Arjan and his team went smoothly and pleasantly. I got help at every step, which can sometimes be quite complicated, especially if you're an expat, not familiar with the system's workings and don't speak Dutch. Overall, however, the process went quickly. I started working together in March and by the end of May I was already able to move into my apartment. This is because we started working immediately as soon as I had an apartment in sight and began negotiating right away. The fact that I was the first to view the apartment and that Arjan knew a lot about house prices in the area, could make a good assessment of the property, gave me a good estimate of its value and negotiated directly and professionally, has helped enormously in finalizing the sale. Now I happily live in my new home and I am grateful to the entire team for making this possible.

The contact went extremely well, all our questions were thoroughly and clearly explained by both Arjan and Renée. Very nice that we have bought our dream house through Dichtbij Makelaardij. We hope to stay here for a long time, but should it turn out differently and we still have to search for another pearl, then we will definitely use them again!

We got to know Arjan when we bought our new house. We also wanted to work with him on the sale of our house because of his professional approach. Our house was sold quickly. We were very satisfied with the collaboration with him.

We wanted to view a house, but during the open houses day it turned out to be too much to ask to have the door opened for us. We literally saw people standing inside, but were spoken to unfriendly on the phone and had to figure things out ourselves. This says enough about the organization and the mentality of the employees.

A true professional, with a personal touch. Both for the sale and for the purchase, Arjan was a valuable real estate agent. He was clear in his communication, sharp on the to-do's, and good at getting his foot in the door for viewings.

When preparing for the photos, he thoughtfully helped to consider how the house would best be presented, and was able to reassure me, as I found everything quite exciting. In terms of communication and appointments, Arjan was flexible. He is there throughout the entire process, all the way to the notary. Good service therefore!

Through Mijn Verkoopmakelaar, we got acquainted with several real estate agents, but ultimately chose Arjan. Arjan is skilled in his profession. The house that has since been sold is a property where I myself have not lived for years. Arjan took care of us by arranging as much as possible himself and being present. Despite the fact that the house was outdated, we are satisfied with the end result.

Very pleasant and professional real estate agent. Always quick response and short lines of communication. We are very satisfied.

Very friendly, good service, actively involved. Easily accessible even outside office hours. Young, experienced realtor. Recommended.

Arjan was a great help in buying our first home. He guided us through each step of the process. We had a few challenges along the way, but Arjan handled them professionally and kept us well-informed. Overall, we had a positive experience and would recommend Arjan to anyone buying a home for the first time.

From day one, Arjan demonstrated exceptional transparency and offered a fair price. As an expat, I appreciated his unwavering support throughout the home-buying process. He was diligent in asking all the necessary questions and securing the required documentation, reflecting his dedication to finding me the perfect home. Additionally, Arjan meticulously reviewed the purchase contract and negotiated with the seller, ensuring my interests were well-protected. I highly recommend Ar…

Arjan has an eye for detail and pays attention to aspects I, as a buyer, would never have thought of. He was always available for questions, gave valuable advice, and ensured that I was fully informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to the professional and caring approach, I felt supported at every step of the purchase. I can highly recommend Dichtbij Makelaardij to anyone looking for a house. Their dedication, expertise and perso...

Bought a beautiful apartment together with Arjan, quickly achieved such a nice result in these turbulent times. Arjan was super sharp from the beginning and guided me through the process with great attention, from the viewing, reading of the documents, negotiation to signing at the notary. His help and advice gave me a lot of confidence. He was readily available for questions at all times, also appreciate his legal background and definitely not a 9 to 5 mentality. I would recommend Dichtbij Mak…

Everything went well and quickly, thanks to Arjan, possibly again through Dichtbij Makelaardij for a next purchase or sale

We decided to buy a house in the Capelle area and while we were in Funda, we saw Dichtbij Makelaardij and we were impressed by the reviews that we saw on the internet and contacted him. He immediately arranged a meeting with us (even though it was not in his business hours) to understand our criterias and blocked his calendar for the next day for the viewing appointment. We were impressed about his agility and flexibility because it was a short notice and he managed. Many times w…

I am very satisfied with the purchasing agent. He was easily accessible via WhatsApp, even outside of office hours, which was very convenient. His expertise gave a lot of confidence during the purchase process and the communication flowed pleasantly and clearly. In his absence, an expert colleague takes over. Absolutely recommended if you are looking for a customer-oriented agent.

Through the purchase of our new house, we came into contact with Dichtbij Makelaardij. The pleasant way in which the real estate agent spoke to us, took time for us and answered our questions made us feel confident about buying this house. Also, the further course of the purchase of our new house felt so pleasant that we asked Arjan to sell our house. The personal guidance, attention and striving for perfection we experienced as very pleasant. Omda...

We have entered into a collaboration with Dichtbij Makelaardij because this real estate agent is known for his personal contact. We are very positive about Arjan. He helped us with the necessary documents and questions. Working together went smoothly.

Contact was excellent. I am very satisfied and can recommend him to everyone. The after-sales service was also very pleasant.

My husband and I bought our first house (apartment) thanks to Arjan! Without him, we probably wouldn't have achieved such a great result so quickly. We don't know much about the housing market ourselves, but Arjan was super sharp from the beginning and guided us with great attention through the process; from the viewing to signing at the notary. His help and advice gave me enormous confidence. He was always available for questions and is also h…

From the initial consultation, we had a good feeling about Dichtbij Makelaardij, and that feeling never went away. We were helped expertly and enthusiastically, at any time of day when we needed it.

He had also done a lot of research into the property itself, and ensured that we were always well informed. And all that at a very competitive price. I would…

Arjan was recommended to us by a satisfied family member, who he also guided, and I am certainly not disappointed, on the contrary. Selling your house is something you don't do every day. You need skilled help with that, and Arjen certainly provided it. For service and guidance, as far as I’m concerned, a ten plus. The sales process went flawlessly and I can absolutely recommend Dichtbij Makelaardij.

Thank you for your excellent service as a purchasing agent. You were always available, quickly answered my questions and helped me make well-considered decisions. The entire process went smoothly and stress-free thanks to your expertise. I am very satisfied and wholeheartedly recommend your services. Kind regards,

Excellent real estate agent. Good salesperson, good conversationalist and strong communicator. Didn't have an easy time with our house, due to a dropping-out first buyer. Nevertheless, handled more than adequately.

Dichtbij Makelaardij was recommended by family. Arjan left a very pleasant, positive and promising impression during our first meeting. He is always easily accessible and delivers on his promises. He provides direct feedback after viewings and took our wishes into account. He advised us expertly, which ultimately resulted in a quick and good sale. We certainly recommend Dichtbij Makelaars.

Arjan from Dichtbij Makelaardij is careful, involved and very flexible & accessible to achieve the goal with us; we sold our house really nicely with him!

Arjan helped us with selling our house. The contact was smooth and easy. He likes to think along with you and helps where needed. Furthermore, he is easily accessible. Finally, our house was sold for a good price. We definitely recommend Dichtbij Makelaardij!

Arjan approached us and after a personal conversation, we went ahead with him for the sale of our terraced house. In my opinion, he's a typical salesman with a fantastic way of talking! He could still learn a thing or two in terms of administration and times of contact, but it wasn’t bad. You sometimes get a call, message, or document at 10:00 PM or later. However, he didn't have an easy task with sellers who couldn't make it work financially and wanted to move quickly, quickly, quickly. All in all, more than perfectly fine.

We got to know Arjan when buying our new house, and were very charmed by his calm and pleasant way of showing us the property. He gives you, as a viewer, all the time to properly absorb the house and is well informed about all the details of the house. We decided to ask him to sell our current house too, which went very well. He pays attention to you as a buyer and takes his time, keeps track of all necessary matters and is always available for questions. Thanks to his attention to detail, we were able to prepare the house well for photos and viewings; he neatly arranged the viewings and provided extensive feedback. He also handled the final stage of the sale swiftly and expertly. Arjan is definitely recommended!

While viewing the house we purchased, we met Arjan. He took plenty of time for the viewing and really let us experience the house. We also wanted that way of working for the sale of our house. The way Arjan arranges things and makes appointments is very clear and neat. He informs you about all developments and thinks along well with you. The possibility to view for several days in a row and then work with bids was very pleasant. Arjan sold our house for a very tidy price, above the asking price and in a very short time.

Review Dichtbij Makelaardij, Arjan is an enthusiastic, driven and personal real estate agent. From the very first contact, the feeling was good and familiar. Arjan is someone who literally stands ready for you day and night and no question is too much. This is how Arjan distinguishes himself from established real estate agents and does not have a 9-to-5 mentality. We also received positive feedback from the people who viewed our house and were surprised by the enthusiasm and knowledge of the agent. So all credits to Arjan. Our house was sold quickly for a good price. Therefore, in summary, very satisfied and will definitely recommend Arjan in the future.
