Great people, great service, great company. Expat & Real Estate, thank you for everything. You change your life.

I recently sold my apartment through Expat & Real Estate and I am incredibly satisfied. Helma and her colleagues handled everything with incredible professionalism, clear communication, and great support. The entire process went smoothly and stress-free, even though I was abroad the whole time. I had complete confidence in them and they kept their promises. A real recommendation!

Helma and her team assisted us with the sale of our house. As expats abroad, we were fully taken care of during this process. The team communicates clearly and removes the hassle from selling your house with clear guidance. I can wholeheartedly recommend Helma and her team for any real estate transaction.

Very professional service and friendly people to work with. I have used them both for the rental of my apartment abroad and for its sale at a very good price. I would engage them again without hesitation, I am very satisfied!

We have experienced the entire process from initial contact to final handover as very pleasant and familiar. You are highly driven, professional, and expert. The communication also went very well. The photos and video were certainly of high quality as well (you virtually walk through the property yourself). We are therefore very happy that we chose to work with you and will definitely continue to do so.

⭐ Our experience with Expat & Real Estate B.V. ⭐ We were looking for a tenant for our apartment and within two weeks everything was neatly arranged. From the intake to drafting contracts, the check-in and key handover to the tenant – everything went smoothly and professionally. Top team! Very knowledgeable and involved. You are fully relieved of worries, and the entire process runs pleasantly. I wholeheartedly recommend them!

A very professional service from all employees of Expat & Real Estate. It's nice to experience that you are renting a property where all aspects run flawlessly and with the greatest possible attention. Highly recommended!

I am very satisfied with Expat & Real Estate and consider them the best real estate agents in The Hague and surrounding areas. Their responses are always quick and the handling of all matters went flawlessly. They are extremely clear in their communication. Despite the deposit already being transferred but not yet appearing on the account, they still handed over the keys, which is a testament to their flexibility. Moreover, I received a beautiful gift box upon entering my new home. In short, an excellent real estate agent that I wholeheartedly recommend. Thank you.

We met Annette from Expat a superb and customer-oriented rental agent, with whom we gradually arrived at a correct rental agreement and the transfer to rental was arranged. Excellent work!

Nice to work together with the team of Expat & Real Estate

We have had very positive experiences with Expat & Real Estate Professionals. They guided us through the entire process and helped in renting out the property according to our expectations regarding timeline, rental price and tenant reliability. Overall satisfied with the services

Thank you to Expat & Real Estate Professionals Agency and especially to Palma and Esther for their help in finding a beautiful apartment in The Hague. I particularly appreciated their professionalism, attention and availability in every phase of the process. I highly recommend the agency!

Worked with Expat & Real Estate multiple times. It has always been a pleasant and smooth collaboration. The ladies know how to take action and provide excellent support during the rental process.

We had a very positive experience with the collaboration with Palma and colleagues from Expat & Real Estate, who helped us rent out our apartment while we worked abroad temporarily. Professional from start to finish and helpful advice everywhere. Would definitely recommend their services.

Property rented out in a very short time via Expat & Real Estate. The intake process went smoothly. I am happy with the tight organization within this office. Cleaning team and photographer did a good job. There was very little time (one month) between calling for the intake with the real estate agent and the actual rental! Good screening of candidates; good advice on the rental price and smooth guidance. Very satisfied; both the quality of the support and the price charged for it.

We have been working with Palma at Expat & Real Estate for several years and are very happy with her professional and timely support. Highly recommended.

I am genuinely surprised to see so many positive reviews about this real estate agency, given our absolutely disastrous experience. They rented us a house where everything was broken, under the pretext that it belonged to a Russian girl who ultimately refused to return our deposit until we threatened to report her to the authorities. Here is the full story for those who want to know the details: Due to the pandemic, we had to move from Italy to the Netherlands and because we couldn’t travel, we placed our trust in this real estate agency. We relied on them to find an apartment without us being able to visit it personally. Upon arrival, we discovered that everything in the house was broken: the heating (we endured weeks of cold and were dependent on our neighbors for showers), the oven, the dishwasher, the gas fireplace and even the curtains were dilapidated. It took them six months to get electricity in one of the bedrooms. We were also misled about the rental duration. We were certain that the contract was for 'indefinite time', but when the lease arrived, it turned out to be a two-year contract. When we contacted them, they claimed it was just a formality for the owner, who supposedly was open to extension. We trusted their word and chose schools for our two children, a doctor and a vet for our two cats. A year and a half later, we requested the promised extension, as we thought this would be just a formality because we had been ideal tenants: we always paid on time and got along well with the neighbors. To our dismay, they stopped and claimed it was too early to make a decision. We naively waited until the last moment, but then received a message that we had to leave the apartment under penalty of high fines. Only then did we discover, as foreigners, that in the Netherlands a two-year contract is rarely extended because it would automatically be converted into an indefinite term contract. The owner never intended to extend the rental agreement, and the agency was complicit in this fraud. The worst part? The alleged owner, a Russian student, turned out to be the sister-in-law of the real owner, a Dutchman, likely a trick to evade taxes. After leaving the apartment in impeccable condition, they tried to withhold our deposit. Only after we threatened to report them to the tax office and the immigration office did they finally give us back our money. This agency should thoroughly investigate their landlords instead of enabling fraudulent behavior, especially when it comes to expats who are not familiar with Dutch law. I expected better from an agency called 'Expat & Real Estate Professionals', particularly that they would prioritize the interests of their expat clients and ensure that the properties they represent are in good condition. I hope this review helps others avoid the mistake of trusting this agency as we did.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They really think along with you, and a lot of work for the sale is taken out of your hands.

Knowledgeable. Extensive knowledge of the area and neighborhood. Good network with the right target groups. Personally pleasant contact, good advice, and handled the sale with all possible care. Sold very quickly.

I found the service communication to be good, but the assessment regarding the sale of my house could have been handled better during purchase.

Very reliable and expert party. Accurate, punctual. No-nonsense realtor

Lokkerbol carefully guided us through the sale of our house, clear communication both beforehand and during the sales process, lovely people!

Good contact with Lokkerbol and Nicky handled the viewings during the sales process with enthusiasm and expertise.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They really think along with you, and a lot of work for the sale is taken out of your hands.

Authentic, honest, fast and reliable service and collaboration. I received an incredible offer by selling my apartment through their network. Best price/quality!

They are professional, responsive and incredibly well-informed about the market. If I could give 6 stars, I would!

Expert, patient and goal-oriented. This team knows what they're talking about.

During the house purchasing process, communication with the employees was very pleasant and they helped me a lot.

Authentic, friendly, fast, personal. Collaborating with Lokkerbol felt good and reliable at every contact moment. From start to finish, communication was always clear and they think along with you. As the icing on the cake, a bid received well above expectations. I think that Lokkerbol’s network and friendliness also facilitates that.

We had a great experience working with Lokkerbol NVM Makelaardij. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. They guided us through the entire selling process with confidence and made everything feel smooth and stress-free. Thanks!

We take everything out of your hands, take the time for you and provide expert advice. The used portal is also convenient, all information can be found there.

Good communication, friendly employees, very helpful, good consultation. They took a lot of work off our hands.

Lokkerbol was great from beginning to end. They had a concrete plan that made it easy to get things started and then finish them. The contact with Nicky, Alex, Vera, and Jesse was consistent; we always felt informed and received very quick answers to our questions. I cannot recommend Lokkerbol and their staff highly enough! 10!!!

We were excellently guided during the sale of our house: from the introductory meeting (with a quickly expected selling price) to ultimately the Sold sign in the garden. Regular contact along the way via WhatsApp, phone and through the online platform. No 9-5 mentality, WhatsApp group with internal staff and brokers, moving van for a day upon selling the house - nice plus points!

When selling our house, we asked several real estate agents, but as soon as Olsthoorn came by first, we canceled the rest of the agents right away. We were helped very kindly by Kevin with the sale of our house. Definitely recommended!

At peace with the quick sale. Communication was good and a nice brochure was made for the viewers of our house.

From the first moment, excellent contact with the real estate agent. Everything is tightly organized and good communication so that the entire sales process remained completely clear for us.

Johan, Tim, Ilse and the not always visible back office formed a very pleasant team to work with. The entire process was highly involved.

We were excellently helped by Olsthoorn Makelaars with the sale of our house. From the intake interview (with a clear offer and estimated sales value quickly) to the ultimate sign 'Sold'. In between, there was regular contact via WhatsApp, phone and the online platform. Visits from viewers and other stakeholders were scheduled in good coordination.

Olsthoorn (Kevin) was the purchasing broker for our daughter, because the contact was so good then we also chose Olsthoorn. They are very knowledgeable, friendly, easy to reach and not expensive.

Very pleasant collaboration, Kevin helped very well with a successful sale, definitely recommended!

Because Kevin came across as so professional and friendly when purchasing the house of our daughter and son-in-law, we immediately knew that we would go into business with him for the sale of our home. Not only Kevin but also the other people from Olsthoorn have exceeded our expectations. All very skilled and friendly and always easily accessible. We have already passed this on to other people who are going to sell their house.

We chose Olsthoorn makelaars Westland because of previous positive experiences and they helped us so well with the sale of our house that we would also like to recommend others to work with this real estate agent!

My wife and I have previously sold our house with the help of Olsthoorn Makelaars and now bought a property with the help of Olsthoorn Makelaars. Again, from start to finish we were very well assisted. The communication was top-notch and it is nice to have a real estate agent in hand who understands the business. Thanks again!

The office is easily accessible and answers questions quickly and clearly <span class='translated'>Also, the real estate agent provides clear information and has guided the process well.</span>

Right from the start, we had a good feeling about Kevin. We are very satisfied with Olsthoorn makelaar. The communication was good. Beautiful presentation of the house. Everything went smoothly. Highly recommended.

The entire team is enthusiastic, friendly and very helpful. Feedback after viewings and answers to questions are quickly responded to by the real estate agent and the team. With this real estate agent you get the feeling that you are doing the sale together. An absolute recommendation!

Our house at Zeestraat 5 was sold well above the asking price within 3 weeks. From the selling real estate agent to the receptionist, everyone is very friendly and helpful. Our move went smoothly, in part thanks to Olsthoorn. Not only due to the good sale and service, but also because of the moving van we borrowed from Olsthoorn. Super well arranged from beginning to end.

What a lovely collaboration with Johan, Kevin and the ladies in the office. It was almost a party 😉.

Excellent contact, always reachable and quick and expert responses Keeps appointments and is always correct.

Arjan and his team are excellent. Extremely communicative, proactive and constantly keeping us up to date with viewings, how they went and gauging expectations of the potential buyers. The whole process was quite smooth, transparent and just an overall great experience. I would highly recommend them as a realtor. <span class='text-oranje-500'>Arjan en zijn team zijn uitstekend.</span> Ze zijn enorm communicatief, proactief en hielden ons voortdurend op de hoogte van bezichtigingen, hoe deze verliepen en de verwacht…

We were recommended to work with Arjan by a friend whom Arjan had previously helped. Arjan and his team were thorough in explaining the process of selling a house and detailing all the requirements. They were highly active and consistent in scheduling viewings and providing feedback on what potential buyers were thinking and the questions they raised. The communication was great, and their flexibility made it easy to fit everyone's schedule. Satisfied with the service and would …

I am very satisfied with the overall service of Dichtbij Makelaardij. Arjan was always available and very helpful. From critically reviewing during viewings of various apartments, to jointly deciding and extensively calling about the offers to be made, to negotiating the conditions of the purchase agreement, he always ensured the highest quality and protected my interests. I definitely recommend his agency if you are someone who wants a more personal experience and availability. As an expat buying my first house alone in the Netherlands, I couldn't ask for better!

I sold my home through Dichtbij Makelaardij. Arjan is very involved and accurate in the sales process. He takes the time and is expert. The other employees were also always friendly and customer-oriented. In short, a great real estate agent to sell your home.

I had a very smooth purchasing experience thanks to Arjan's expertise and excellent service. I can wholeheartedly recommend his services to everyone; he thinks along with you and shares useful tips. What I appreciated most was how approachable he is, he was always available to answer my questions/requests, regardless of the time of day.

I am really satisfied with the service that the Dichtbij Makelaardij office provided. Arjan was always available and provided a really personal experience. From providing a critical and holistic view in the apartments condition, having extensive calls to align on the offers we will make, to negotiating the terms of the purchase agreement, all the different steps were well executed and made the whole process more fun on the way! It felt like we were a good team and I felt that I …

We were very well assisted in searching for a home. We received help with all matters, such as the building inspection report. During the viewing, Arjan helped us greatly by looking at things that a layperson would not notice. When reviewing the contract, we were clearly explained what the options are. Dichtbij Makelaardij is definitely recommended!

The guidance during the sale of my apartment went smoothly with a professional approach. After I found a new home, the sales preparations were quickly initiated and there was sufficient time and space for viewings and feedback. The contact with Arjan and his employee(s) was quick and concise. In short, a very good experience!

We are very happy with our choice to work with Arjan and his team for the purchase of our first home. Arjan is transparent, skilled, and always easily accessible. He honestly gave his opinion on what he thought about a property and was even so flexible as to view homes with us in two cities. The conversations with Arjan gave us a certain peace of mind and clarity regarding what we were looking for in a home and what we wanted and needed to offer for it. We wholeheartedly recommend working with this real estate agent.

As an expat unfamiliar with the Dutch home-buying process, Arjan’s expertise, accessibility, and responsiveness were invaluable. He guided me through every step, ensuring a smooth and stress-free purchase of my apartment. I truly appreciated his professional support and efficiency, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy a home in the Netherlands.

Respond quickly to questions, lines are short and you always have a clear answer. They are friendly and think along with you.

We are very pleased with the service provided by Arjan and his team! Skilled, transparent, and always easily accessible.

I had a valuable and good experience with Arjan and his team. Very personal and expert approach, thank you!

Dichtbij Makelaardij is a sole proprietorship. Real estate agent Arjan Hoogenboom also has a heart for his business and his clients. He doesn't shy away from working outside of normal office hours either. Quite handy when you yourself also have a busy full-time job and can’t handle everything during normal office hours. Furthermore, use is made of fast communication methods such as WhatsApp and the digital file Move. Where all appointments, documents, questionnaires etc. can be placed. …

Arjan and his team in Dichtbij were instrumental in guiding us from the first discussion regarding expectations, preparing the house for photoshoot, and expertly managing the viewings and negotiation for the best value possible. Very responsive and always ready to support on any questions. Will strongly recommend if you have a house to sell! <span class='text-oranje-500'>Arjan en zijn team in Dichtbij Makelaardij hebben ons vanaf het eerste gesprek over de verwachtingen begeleid, het huis klaargemaakt voor de fotoshoot en de bezichtigingen en onderhandelingen vakkundig begeleid voor de best mogelijke prijs. Zeer responsief en altijd bereid om te ondersteunen bij eventuele vragen. <strong>Zeker een aanrader als je een huis te koop hebt!</strong></span>

Professional approach. Good, tight guidance and information provision. Service-oriented. Good planning of every step in the sales process. No surprises.

Very good agent. Knows the market well, had an effective sales strategy which resulted in a fast sale at a price and terms above my expectations. Great work from Tom and Priscilla.

The entire team of Maarten took care of us perfectly! All steps of the process are clearly and on time communicated. Feedback and actions are proactively arranged. Tom, Priscilla and the rest really sorted it out super well. We work with many brokers, but have not encountered this complete picture before.

Very pleasant collaboration with Maarten Makelaardij. Good advice and guidance. Thank you for the sale of my house.

I sold my house through Maarten Makelaardij, where I was guided by Tom and Priscilla. Throughout the entire process, they assisted me very well. They think along well, have excellent communication, and most importantly: a good return for my house! Would definitely recommend engaging them.

Very satisfied. Clear communication and agreements that were kept. For us, the sale of our old house was an unfamiliar journey, which we greatly appreciated and are also happily with a good result. We are happy with the choice for Maarten Makelaardij. Thank you Maarten and Nina

The easy accessibility and expertise with which things are done is very pleasant. Here, brokering is truly a profession!

During the sales process, I was pleasantly guided by Tom and Priscilla. I would describe the service as fast and result-oriented. The communication lines were clear and concise with the help of a group WhatsApp. Tom and Priscilla complement each other well. I have experienced that Tom has a very accurate picture of the market segment in which my house was sold. All in all, it resulted in a successful sales process.

Met expectations, a broker who thinks along with you. Positive experience, nice broker. Recommended when selling your house in Rotterdam.

Maarten Makelaardij was always accessible and thought along well. Ultimately, my house was sold for a very nice price. Top service!

We were assisted throughout the sales process by Jesper and Gina. They helped us very well, were always available for consultations and questions. They also thought along with the process. Very good communication, especially after viewings a detailed report of the viewers to be able to form a good picture. All in all very satisfied!

Professional and assertive club! Here you can buy or sell your home well and is recommended for everyone!

Priscilla and Tom are a top team! Through, among other things, a group app, we were able to discuss everything throughout the entire process. And it's great how Tom sent a short report after each viewing. This gives you, as the selling party, a better picture of your potential buyers and allows you to make a well-considered choice. The expertise of both of them ensured that we closed the best deal! We definitely recommend Maarten.

Everything was well arranged, quick to adjust when needed, beautiful photos, good exposure on social media and a superb result!

Very satisfied with Maarten Makelaardij. Good advice regarding the sale of the property and very responsive. Advice on the comments from (the buyer's lawyer) on the purchase agreement could have been slightly better, in our opinion.

Nice real estate agency that communicates clearly and concisely with a personal and warm approach. Tom&Priscilla are part of the sales team and have supported us fantastically from beginning to end, a top team. I can recommend it to everyone!

The sale of our house with Maarten was a smooth and well-organized experience. Their process is clear and structured, with timely reminders, so we never had to worry about what we needed to do next. They always responded quickly, making communication seamless. Jesper was truly excellent. Before choosing a real estate agent, we interviewed several, and Jesper immediately stood out, full of energy and able to think from our perspective. That also meant he understood buyers well, knew exactly how to address their concerns and put forward the right selling points. Thanks to him and Gina, our house sold very well. The only small downside was that a number of viewings were handled by another agent from Maarten. That's not necessarily bad, but the visits weren't documented as carefully as when Jesper led the process. But overall we are very happy and would absolutely give them a well-deserved 5 stars! Great work!
