Smolders Makelaars

Looking for a house and an administrative soap? Look no further! 'If you like a healthy dose of chaos and a real estate agent who creatively deals with reality, then Smolders Makelaars is the party for you. Our experience? A string of 'oops-moments' that you rather wouldn't have when buying a house. A small glimpse into our trick box: • Mathematics is an opinion: The purchase price in the deed didn't match. When we pointed this out, we were asked what we thought they should do. (Tip: Maybe filling in the correct numbers?) • Privacy? Which privacy?: Our complete purchase deed including all our personal data was sent without hesitation to a stranger. AVG-proof? Definitely not. Sloppy? Absolutely. • The disappearing solar panels: There were 24 on Funda, but there turned out to be 22 on the roof. Apparently, solar panels at Smolders are like socks in the washing machine: a few always go missing. • The charging station lottery: In the advertisement it said 'present', but when signing, it turned out to be 'to be transferred'. A small detail, just like the fact that they promise to respond within a week to complaints, but then keep radio silence. As soon as the signature is there, every problem suddenly becomes your problem. At this office you don't just get a house, but also a free course on 'how do I check someone else's work'. Conclusion: Do you have steel nerves and like to take advertisement texts with a large pinch of salt? Then you're in the right place. For everyone else: keep your calculator and your privacy settings at hand.

To my complete satisfaction, I had absolutely no experience with real estate agents but I was relying on the advice of an acquaintance.

I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from Smolders. From the beginning, I was always well informed about the developments surrounding the sale of my home. They were professional, communicative and very customer-focused. Thanks to their expertise and approach, I sold my house in no time. I can wholeheartedly recommend Smolders to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient real estate agent!

Great experience with Smolders Makelaars! Very professional, involved and always easy to reach. Thanks to their expertise and guidance, the sale went smoothly and quickly.

A realtor who thinks that 1 (one!) photo is enough to convince customers to visit a property and who –therefore requested– refuses to provide more information... Laziness prevails. Not recommended.

Very satisfied with the complete service, everything went well from putting it on sale to the viewings!

Our real estate agent helped us well and the communication was good between us and the agent. The sale went smoothly and everything was handled properly.

Very satisfied with the guidance during the sale of our house. Good knowledge of the property's appraisal value. Easily accessible if you had a question. Kept informed about the progress during the sales period.

Nothing went wrong, partly thanks to good communication back and forth. Everything was clearly explained and if there were questions, time was made available to answer them.

Excellent contact with the real estate agent, arranged the photos and the application for the energy label. He kept us informed of viewings.

Contact with the real estate agent Jeanine Rouw and her team went very smoothly and accessibly. They are quick and easily reachable, and you can always count on their expert help. I would recommend this realtor to everyone!

I am very pleased with how this sale went. The contact with the realtor was very good. I highly recommend Smolders real estate agents.

The ladies of Smolders Makelaars were open and transparent, pleasant contact and a neat handling. The transfer went smoothly and as desired.

Excellent service from a friendly and professional team! Always quick in communication and clear guidance and advice throughout the sales process!

I initially got the idea that the age and maintenance situation were not sufficiently explained before the viewing. Because the photos in the advertisement gave too beautiful an image and too high expectations were aroused.

The house sold remarkably quickly. Team Smolders guided and advised us well from beginning to end. I would recommend Smolders to everyone to sell your home; in short, everything was arranged perfectly.

All contacts took place in a pleasant, friendly and professional manner where you, as buyer/seller, were given the opportunity to step through the process step-by-step.

Everything went well with Smolders Makelaars , especially Jeanine, who helped us with everything for selling our home; all the staff were very professional. I would recommend this Makelaars if you need to sell or buy your home. Thanks for the good work.

Went great, ran very smoothly, house was sold within a week, all viewings were scheduled on one day.

This broker is down-to-earth, very empathetic, highly involved, very expert, acts quickly, realistic, to the point, punctual, distinguished from other brokers, in short TOP!

Very pleasant contact and professional guidance. The sale of our house went smoothly, to the satisfaction of both seller and buyer.

Friendly people, helpful and cooperative. Excellent information, empathetic. Easily accessible, if no contact is made they will call back as soon as possible.

Great contact, we could call with our questions and received good explanations. We definitely recommend Smolders Makelaars if you want to sell your house.

The score shows that we are very satisfied. We were treated kindly and correctly. The completion with the notary was also well arranged.

Sober, transparent realtor! Knows the local market well and is realistic about expectations. Very pleasant collaboration!

Stayed a week in Terneuzen to find an apartment to rent. Visited on Monday and signed a rental agreement on Thursday (as a Russian in the current Netherlands!!). A perfect apartment found. Qualitative, flexible, fast and helpful. Highly recommended. Very warmly thanked :)

First, your bid is accepted with a viewing and the possibility of making an offer within 24 hours. If you are then honest about needing more time to arrange things because mortgage interest rates are rising enormously quickly and everything changes financially as a result, you won't get any time to sort it out. We had asked for signing after 5 days. On the day you go to sign, you suddenly hear that the sellers no longer want to do business with you, and through various channels, you hear that there is suddenly another offer. Very unfortunate because a mortgage application had already been made and everything was already arranged. Even if our dream house were for sale here, I would never trust myself again to view it and make an offer. Verbal commitments mean nothing here! And you don't get any leeway either; everything must be arranged within 3 days.

Beautiful 😍…

Nothing but praise for Hans Smolders and Jeanine Rouw, through whom we purchased our house at the time. Very involved and knowledgeable and always helpful over the years. Recommended for personal and reliable advice and guidance.

Fast and very good service

Jeanine (owner/broker) is very helpful, professional and customer-friendly. Gives honest and good advice. Is always available for questions. I definitely recommend Smolders real estate agents!

Great collaboration, good communication and always ready to assist. Team Smolders, Top.

First part of the experience with Smolders was good. The viewing was fine and we received an adequate answer to most questions. It was especially after we placed a bid that the service took a dive. Three times we received the promise to be called back. Unfortunately, the appointment was never kept. There was no feedback and we therefore didn't know at all what the status was. After a period of three weeks, we were told that we hadn't made the highest offer. Subsequently, a few days later, we were told that, after the highest bidder dropped out, we were in line. Besides us, there would still be another party. We could raise our bid again. Since we were already significantly above the asking price, we did so with a small amount. More as a gesture of goodwill. Even after submitting our increased bid, we had to call ourselves again and received no feedback. After 2 days, we finally received a phone call that we did have the highest offer but that the buyers still wanted considerably more money for the property. This while we were already significantly above the asking price. Then we decided to withdraw our bid and move on. After a period of 4 weeks, we were done with the uncertainty. All in all, a frustrating process where we didn't feel comfortable at all. Of course, the selling party plays a role here. But we would have liked to be kept informed and it would have been nice if Smolders had taken the minimal effort to call us back even once.

Top service and personal

Friendly and helpful, clear story. And always willing to make time for questions or other matters.

You'll find really warm and honest people 🙏…
