All brokers in Stompetoren

I chose Migiel from several brokers that I spoke with. Immediately, his expert and direct style stood out to me. No empty promises but politely stating what it is. The further sales process went smoothly and I was kept properly informed and patiently provided with further advice. Even when it took a little longer due to my actions.

12 years ago, Migiel also guided me in the purchase of my house and I was so pleased with it that I have re-engaged him now. I am incredibly happy with Migiel's guidance during the entire sales process. I felt -already 12 years ago- taken seriously: there was real listening to my wishes and I received expert and honest advice. The communication flowed smoothly, quickly and clearly. I was able to sell my house for a beautiful and appropriate price and that is thanks to Mig…

Migiel is an excellent realtor. He is skilled, gives good advice (in Dutch or English!), and offers an excellent price-quality ratio – he doesn't try to take advantage of you! Furthermore, he is a very kind man, who made buying and selling a lot more pleasant than it sometimes can be. Thank you, Migiel!

We initially worked with Gaby to buy our house as first-time buyers as an expat buyer in Amsterdam. Because we were new to the Dutch housing market, he guided us excellently through everything, including handling our offer, arranging technical inspections, and finding a notary. So when it was time to upgrade, we were happy to work with him again for the sale of that property and the purchase of a second one. Gaby is very experienced and an expert in the Amsterdam housing market. With his help, we got a great bid and are very happy with our sale. We are also super happy with our new house! I would definitely recommend Thuis in Vastgoed (and have done so!) to any expat seeking help navigating the Dutch housing market.

Migiel and Gaby are expert real estate agents with a great deal of experience in the Amsterdam housing market; they know the history, pros and cons, and (market) developments in almost every district. They have a large network, stay on top of things, and are very involved with their clients.

Gaby did all possible to sell my house in the best possible way and attend to my needs as well as the buyers requests.

Highly expert and experienced, offers space and tranquility in the process that can be hectic (given the market). Further involved, sympathetic, and pleasant to deal with. A combination of qualities I have not seen before in a real estate agency.

Selling the house didn't go smoothly, but it was to our complete satisfaction. An excellent real estate agent: expert, personal and businesslike, calm and reassuring.

I am super happy with this realtor. Have nothing to criticize, incredibly good, expert and pleasant guidance. I would recommend this realtor to everyone.

Knowledgeable broker who knows the market well. Takes the time, not impatient. Helps a lot with the bidding process.

Gaby Balkema of Thuis in Vastgoed excellently guided the sale of my property. Flexible and proactive!

The real estate agent fully met expectations. He accurately predicted the market and provided adequate advice.

It turned out to be more difficult than expected, but ultimately everything went perfectly after all, also thanks to Migiel's good effort and continued involvement.

Gaby is a pleasure to work with -- he has a lot of knowledge and experience -- gives good advice -- and is super friendly -- a top experience!

Migiel is always there for you, very professional in every step of the process, available to suggest the right thing to do and, most important, honest and transparent. I have <span class='text-oranje-500'>recomended</span> him to several friends and everybody was very happy.

Migiel guided us very nicely through the sale of our house. Even in the run-up to the sale of our home, before we actually decided to move, Migiel helped us well. He even managed to prevent us from a significant financial setback. The photos and sales text were incredibly good and realistic at the same time. He was flexible for the viewings and thought along well. It was nice working with Migiel and we can wholeheartedly …

Nice human broker Quick and professional For the 2nd time in my life a pleasant experience with this broker

I had an excellent experience with Sake! He really helped me purchase a house as a first-time buyer and expat in the difficult Amsterdam market. He was always available to answer my questions and help me explore this new market. He helped me make a very good offer on my dream home and accelerated the entire process until the key transfer. I just had to sit back and relax. I can wholeheartedly recommend him!

I am really satisfied with their services! They helped me enormously and made buying a house easy and stress-free!

Attentive, responsive and willing to help, that's Sake from home up. I really appreciated the help in finding our first house!

Toppers! Very attentive people. Gave realistic advice. With my second offer, it already worked out. After that, everything concerning the purchase was quickly arranged. Never thought it would go so fast and smoothly. Within half a year, I evolved from someone who thought they were hopeless to a proud homeowner.

The customer service was fantastic from beginning to end, with guidance and arranging all the steps and the specific documentation for the purchase of my first home! I can wholeheartedly recommend Homeup!

Fast switching, even during vacation!

Sake came through a friend and was an excellent choice. Always easily accessible, thinks along with you and has a strong network that really makes a difference. Professional guidance from A to Z. Highly recommended!

Really a good advisor (Thomas), very fast and objective opinion! Absolutely recommended!

Thomas helped me with the purchase of my first house and taught me how bidding works in the Netherlands. He gave me so much good advice during the process where I otherwise would have gotten completely entangled. Thomas worked together with my mortgage advisor, so it was very easy and stress-free. He scheduled all structural surveys, appraisals, and notary appointments, requested quotes, and made sure everything went smoothly! I would definitely recommend HomeUp to anyone who is starting out in the housing market, especially because the brokerage fee is not based on the purchase price, but on a fair fixed rate.

Sake is friendly, relaxed and gives clear advice and explanation to beginners like me. He keeps his appointments and is easy to reach. My second offer was bingo ✨🍾🏠…

Sake arranged the first apartment for me where I bid. A great guy, he handled everything with his team and I didn't have to do anything for it. He was also happy to answer my 1 million annoying questions, and very quickly at that! Definitely recommended.

I have worked excellently with Thomas from HomeUp. He advised me on what to look out for in each apartment I was going to view, discussed and explained every part of the process. Communication went smoothly, responses were quick and transparent. Definitely recommended!

HomeUp helped us well with finding a house. Sake is flexible, fast and thinks along. Recommended!

The real estate agent was able to react quickly, gave us excellent advice and helped us search more specifically within the price category. The real estate agent also negotiated very well.

They have the experience and the right answers to a first-time buyer and have been very supportive and responsive. Recommended!

I can wholeheartedly recommend HomeUp and Sake, fantastic support throughout the entire process and the purchase of the house was completed incredibly quickly and I am now the proud owner of my own little piece of Amsterdam in my favorite place in the whole city - excellent service

Sake van der Oord was our real estate agent for our first purchase. He is very efficient and responds quickly! Everything went smoothly and very pleasantly!

Iwana Puhalovic was already my real estate agent for my apartment 5 years ago, and because that was a pleasant process then, I decided to approach her again for the sale of the apartment. We will also work with her again on the search for a new home. I give her 10/10 because she has enormous knowledge of the market on the one hand, provides good advice and help, but also thinks along depending on your specific situation. Iwana always responds quickly and is always available for questions. Also compliments to the internal staff of the office who followed up on the entire sales process and seamlessly communicated with me.

Contact with Bart felt familiar from the first moment. Bart knows the Amsterdam market excellently and completely took care of the sale of our house for us. Even when I called the office, the contact was excellent! We highly recommend De Makelaars BV.

Another fantastic experience with this realtor, who takes the trouble to get to know your house and the neighborhood and makes the sale as personal as possible.

Contact with Bart felt familiar from the start and he assisted us excellently until the end.

We would definitely recommend De Makelaers! Good and clearly substantiated advice. Very pleasant and fast contact. In short, superb support!

I found the communication with this selling agent quite disappointing. Their language came across as unnecessarily rude and unprofessional. A little friendliness and respect work wonders – especially in real estate, where trust and clear communication are essential. I hope they will reflect on this and consider adjusting their tone in future interactions. EDIT: Good communication is crucial in real estate. Unfortunately, we were not treated professionally by this agent. I initially didn't want to reveal too many details, but now I feel that I must. When we presented the result of our offer, the agent insulted and laughed at us by saying we had the lowest bid, and even if it had been the highest, we wouldn’t win anything from them – he literally laughed at us. When we asked for the reason, he continued to insult us by saying how bad and unreliable we are. Actually, it didn't start there. He also discriminated against us during the viewing. He didn’t take us seriously and only paid attention to others. He even made a homophobic comment, simply because we are a married gay couple. The way we were treated is unacceptable, and instead of apologizing, they chose to lie in their public response. Just to clarify what really happened with the first apartment: we had the highest bid but were not accepted. The agent said that they didn’t trust our financial situation and asked for extra documents. Because we couldn't deliver what they requested on time, we had to withdraw our offer. But now they are trying to make it seem as if we simply changed our minds and are unreliable. We want to be clear: we could have withdrawn our bid without giving a reason before signing the contract. We acted in good faith, and it is enormously disappointing to see the situation twisted like this.

David has helped us wonderfully. Always transparent, honest and with clear communication. David always kept us well informed of all developments and provided us with the right information and advice to make the best choices. Everything went perfectly and throughout the entire process we didn't have to worry about anything. Extremely satisfied and very happy with the choice to choose De Makelaers!

Very nice company to work with!

David and his colleagues helped me well and professionally with the sale of my house. David was able to involve me in his sales strategy, took the initiative to contact when needed and provided good service. His colleagues were also always easily accessible and helpful in case I had questions.

Real estate agent Bart Starink quickly and smoothly sold our house through fast communication, good advice, and convincing guidance to all parties involved.

Contact with Bart felt familiar from the first moment. Bart knows the Amsterdam market excellently and completely took care of the sale of our house for us. Even when I called the office, the contact was excellent! We highly recommend De Makelaars BV.

Both the purchase of this apartment and the sale through Iwana Puhalovic, a fantastic realtor! Absolutely recommended. Also, the internal support and processing went smoothly.

Jan de Jager came to get acquainted first and was well prepared. He also took the time and I experienced him as a very pleasant broker. Remains calm and is skilled My house was sold in no-time and Jan and the team of brokers kept me constantly informed. A real recommendation!

Real estate agency De Makelaers is expert, accurate and pleasant to deal with. During the sales process, we always received realistic information and clear advice. The realtor is always easily accessible.

The contact and communication went perfectly. Property sold very quickly at a good price. Buyer and seller are satisfied.

Super professional, transparent and helpful by Jeffrey! He removed a lot of stress from us, and was clear in the communication.

We would definitely recommend De Makelaers! Good and clearly substantiated advice. Very pleasant and fast contact. In short, superb support!
