Een makelaar die niet om zijn klant geeft. Door hem ben ik 30.000 euro kwijtgeraakt, hij heeft de technische staat van de woning die ik kocht niet gecontroleerd, hij heeft de gebreken van de woning voor mij verzwegen, hij beloofde een half jaar lang dat hij mijn oude woning zou verkopen en deed daarna bijna niets. Door hem ben ik tijd en geld kwijtgeraakt. Ik heb de overeenkomst volgens de wet ontbonden, omdat hij zijn verplichtingen verzaakte. Dit kost me tot nu toe veel stress, omdat deze makelaar me nog steeds lastigvalt en veel geld eist, en me allerlei facturen stuurt. Deze makelaar is een nachtmerrie waar je moeilijk vanaf komt. Bovendien is hij erg duur, en zijn diensten zijn dat geld niet waard.

Hoi Mark, dank voor de waardering met 'vijf sterren'. Uiteraard jammer dat je voor de andere makelaar hebt gekozen. Maar heel begrijpelijk, aangezien je hem persoonlijk kent. Ook ik kijk terug op een prettig gesprek en ik wens je uiteraard alle succes bij de verkoop. Nogmaals, ik waardeer het dat je ongevraagd een waardering van 5 sterren hebt achtergelaten!

Tussendoor gemakkelijk en snel contact via What’s app en na elke bezichtigingsdag werd ik netjes gebeld over hoe de bezichtigingen waren verlopen.

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. After conversations with several real estate offices, we chose Arjan van Dichtbij Makelaardij, and that was without a doubt the right decision. 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. With kind regards, Abhra Bhattacharya

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.

De communicatie met Arjan en zijn team verliep soepel en prettig. Ik kreeg bij elke stap hulp, wat soms best ingewikkeld kan zijn, vooral als je expat bent, niet bekend bent met de werking van het systeem en geen Nederlands spreekt. Over het algemeen ging het proces echter snel. Ik begon in maart met de samenwerking en eind mei kon ik al in mijn appartement trekken. Dit komt doordat we, zodra ik een appartement op het oog had, meteen aan de slag gingen en direct begonnen met onderhandelen. Het feit dat ik de eerste was die het appartement bezichtigde en dat Arjan de huizenprijzen in de buurt goed kende, expertise had in het taxeren van de woning, me een goede inschatting gaf van de waarde en direct en vakkundig onderhandelde, heeft enorm geholpen bij het afronden van de verkoop. Nu woon ik gelukkig in mijn nieuwe huis en ben ik het hele team dankbaar dat ze dit mogelijk hebben gemaakt.

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.

I got to know Arjan as a real estate agent with genuine involvement and an enormous amount of energy. He guided me through both the purchase of my new home and the sale of my old house, and I couldn't have wished for better support. From our first conversation, I felt that he really listened to my wishes and actually did something about them. He was always available, and no question was too difficult. The viewings were done by Rick, who did that with the same enthusiasm and dedication. He took his time, thought along, and gave honest advice, which both I and the viewers greatly appreciated. Also behind the scenes, everything went smoothly thanks to Renée and Demi from the administration. They were always friendly, quick to respond, and kept me well informed of all steps.

Arjan helped us in an excellent way with the purchase of our new home. He remained rational and made business considerations while we, as buyers, sometimes wanted to go too far because we really wanted a house. Arjan emphatically proved his value as a buyer's agent for us.

Agent's response

Fijn dat ik je goed heb kunnen helpen bij de aankoop van jullie nieuwe woning, Jan. Het was even zoeken, maar jullie hebben nu een prachtige nieuwe plek gevonden.

Arjan has more than proven the added value of a buyer's agent for us, especially in today's overheated housing market. He doesn't get carried away by the rush of the market. Remains calm and stands up for the interests of his clients. Top experience for us and recommended for others.
