From the first contact to the delivery of the house, the knowledge, experience and contact with the real estate agents were good and professional. Valuable advice on the sales approach including the bidding process. Clear terms regarding mediation and brokerage fees. Very good knowledge of the market. And thanks to Move and the WhatsApp group, we were continuously informed about all developments. In short, for us Heykens is the real estate agent in the Westelijke Mijnstreek.

BEWARE My experience with Heijkens was initially positive during the first conversations. However, immediately after signing the contract, this positivity turned into a severe disappointment. All work was done by a trainee who made many mistakes, causing me to lose buyers as well. And this while the realtor who was supposed to arrange my sale went on vacation himself. The biggest surprise was that Mr. wanted to charge VAT on top of the 1.4% commission. I have not experienced this in the sale of 3 previous houses and therefore did not agree with it. Because the costs were transferred by the notary, I had to reclaim the costs from the realtor afterwards. He offered to charge only 16% VAT, which I also disagreed with. Even after losing multiple buyers and making several mistakes, Mr. still tried to squeeze every last drop out of it. Ultimately, I went to my legal assistance and they reimbursed me for most of the costs, allowing Heijkens to get off lightly by not having to pay the costs themselves. In the document, Mr. mentions 'costs' in another paragraph regarding start-up costs and that VAT is charged on this. Apart from the fact that prices including VAT must always be communicated to consumers, a commission is not a cost but a compensation. Don't be fooled by this man. Go with Goossens or Damen. No problems with these parties. Or look for an NVM realtor. These always neatly show their commission including VAT, as required by law. EDIT: see response from realtor where I explain everything in detail and Mr. skirts around the issues with beautiful words. According to him, letting someone in training who has never seen the house from the inside come alone 5 minutes before the first viewings is adequately supervised. She must have been able to tell and show a lot about the property. She explained the property so well that several buyers didn't even know that the roof of the house and garage had been renovated that year. I could name many more points, but I think my point is clear now. I also completely understand that you would rather not make this information public so that you can continue as before. However, I hope to protect other sellers with this. You have had multiple chances to resolve the problem properly, which you did not use. Let that be clear to everyone who reads this. It's an accumulation of several points where responsibility is not taken at each step.
