Lauteslager Makelaars

We would like to thank you enormously for the pleasant collaboration. What we greatly appreciate above all is the patience with which you work. Both sales and service have served us very well, thanks again enormously for your boundless dedication.

Really well assisted by Maud Osinga when buying my apartment in Utrecht. Also very well assisted by her colleagues!

Lauteslager was recommended to me by a friend as a sales broker. The office is very accessible, the staff are friendly and helpful, and they think along well.

Contact with Lauteslager was really very good. Communication is highly valued by them and that's something I am too. Service, quality, price-performance ratio also good!

We got in contact with Maud Osinga of Lauteslager when purchasing our new house in Utrecht. Because of the pleasant viewing and her professional appearance, we also chose her as the sales broker for our apartment. We are super satisfied with the sale; Maud was always easily accessible and could answer all our questions. Her colleagues are very friendly too, and communication with the office always ran quickly and pleasantly.

I am happy to share the good experiences with Lauteslager Makelaaars. This company assisted us very well in the sale of our apartment in Utrecht. During the sale itself, the employee was endlessly patient and always friendly and very good at communication. In particular, I mention Martjin van Eyk, who made a tremendous effort after the sale to resolve problems with the buyer. He devoted a lot of time to us with tireless energy and provided excellent advice, so excellent follow-up care. Communication with him was also particularly good. We would recommend him as an agent to third parties.

During the viewing last week at a house in Groenekan, we had to deal with a not very enthusiastic real estate agent, despite our great interest in the house. It was the first day of the viewings and you would expect an agent who does his best. We immediately made an appointment for a second viewing and making a good offer. A day later we were already called that the house had been sold, while viewings were planned throughout the week. This seems unreliable and feels like a deal between agents themselves. And thus a pointless viewing for form's sake. Bad for both the buyer and seller. We have contacted the real estate agent about what happened and were supposed to be called back. Nothing heard from them to date.

Mixed bag. If you encounter this, please work with Ben or Wilco. Our realtor (named Chantal) was rude, unprofessional and unable to answer fundamental questions about the house that we bought.

When selling our house, we were perfectly helped from the first introduction to the transfer at the notary's office. I don't need to mention specific names because both the external and internal staff knew the file, knew what they were talking about, and were aware of all the details in the process. Skilled and, importantly, customer-oriented, they worked towards the ultimate goal: selling the property with a nice result. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience to have done business with Lautenslager Real Estate. Willem J.R. Sorel

Perfectly helped with buying a house by Ben & team. Personal guidance and very pleasant contact, in addition to professional advice on all aspects. I would recommend them to everyone!

For now, we haven't found the house and have stopped searching - we were looking for houses up to 700k (we usually visit around Leidsche Rijn, Vleuten and Houten noted from 500k to 580k). Often we weren’t willing to bid enough - honestly, the houses aren't worth taking out a mortgage of more than 550,000 euros plus savings. When we bid on the few that we liked, we still didn’t get them - often we bid something less than 100,000 more. Search query changed to renting. All 3 stars are for Diederick, thanks for your time man.

Unfriendly, unprofessional and very condescending behavior (racist).

Contact with the real estate agent went smoothly, and responses were quick when questions arose. However, there were some comments regarding the accuracy of the administrative employee(s). We had to request multiple adjustments to texts and drawings because they were not implemented correctly.

Well helped with the purchase of our house, Lauteslager ensured that this went smoothly without any stress. Easily accessible, even on weekends, for the entire process from bidding to handling the purchase contract. Tip we want to share: a stepped commission based on the number of viewings would give a better price/quality score given our low number of viewings.

Great experience from start to finish. As an international, it can be difficult to find a house on the current Dutch housing market. Lauteslager and more specifically Maud made this a much more pleasant and manageable experience. They are always quick to respond to questions, guide the entire process clearly, handle contact with all parties involved, and provided me with an excellent financial advisor. I would recommend everyone who wants to buy something to go to Lauteslager for fast and reliable service!

Overall, we are very satisfied with Lauteslager. Our realtor, Maud, helped us win the bidding process in our very first attempt! The process was quick and results-oriented and we are very happy with our purchase. As international starters regarding mortgages, however, we advise others to carefully monitor all clauses in the sale/purchase agreement, especially those relating to the financial guarantee (if applicable), as this can be a deductible for the buyer if something goes wrong during the mortgage approval process. Furthermore, Maud proved to be very good at communicating with all stakeholders involved in the process (the financial advisor and the sell-side realtor). We are happy with our new house!

We experienced the sales process as good and professional. Clear communication, good accessibility, good back office. And very nice, no fluff... Remained sharp and tactical until the last moment. Well done!

There was very pleasant contact, easy and fast. Well guided through a complicated process. Excellent result.

Highly skilled, friendly and reliable real estate agent. Knows the local market well, gives good advice and thinks along with us. We were very pleasantly guided through the entire process.

Selling a house is always exciting, especially if it's the first time. We were very well guided by Maud and her team. Maud is easily accessible, has expertise, keeps appointments, and provides feedback directly after a viewing day. It really felt like teamwork which ultimately resulted in a very beautiful sale.

We are very satisfied with Lauteslager overall. Our real estate agent, Maud, helped us win the bidding process on our very first attempt! The process was fast and result-oriented, and we’re very happy with our purchase. However, as international first-time buyers, we would advise others to pay close attention to all the clauses in the sale/purchase agreement—especially those regarding the financial guarantee (if applicable)—as it can represent a buyer’s own-risk penalty if something goe…

We have purchased and sold something with this realtor in the past. We experienced this as very pleasant and certainly recommend this realtor.

There was a lot of interest in our house when it appeared on Funda and there were huge bids over the asking price. That says enough.

You are invited to come for a viewing but the property has already been sold and they don't cancel the appointment... while saying they will. I wouldn't do business with them. Unreliable!

Extremely satisfied with this real estate agency. Ben Steegenga recently assisted us in both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing home. Eight years ago, he was also involved in the purchase of the same property. There's a reason we sought him out again now. We find Ben to be an incredibly pleasant, engaged, and approachable real estate agent who does everything possible to inform you well, advise you properly, and pays attention to the emotional aspect of buying and/or selling a home. A real estate agent who operates from feeling and humanity. Our experience with the office as a whole is also very positive. The team is expert, responds quickly, and provides accessible information. As far as we're concerned, a real estate agency that is close to its clients. Highly recommended!

With the sale of my studio in Utrecht, Diederick van Griethuysen from Lauteslager Makelaars helped me excellently. I was well informed at all steps in the sales process, which gave me a lot of confidence in the entire trajectory. In short..super!

Professional, helpful, punctual and friendly. Thinks along with us and outlines the challenges and peculiarities of the Dutch housing market. Especially happy with all the experiences we have had with Martijn. Would recommend it.

Diederick van Griethuysen from Lauteslager Makelaars helped me excellently with the sale of my studio in Utrecht. He kept me well informed about developments during the sales process, enthusiastic and involved. His knowledge gave me great confidence that everything would be alright.

We have bought and sold several houses before but Lauteslager and especially Robert are very pleasant to work with, one of the best real estate agents so far.

Great experience buying a house with this realtor. After several months of searching, we switched to Lauteslager. Here we were helped by Maud. A very social realtor who handled all our questions without problems and with whom you could also have a pleasant chat. Within 1.5 months, we had purchased a property. All in all, a nice experience!

We had difficulty finding a small apartment to buy, and this Real Estate Agency, especially Mr. Diederick van Griethuysen, was very helpful in quickly finding a solution. They are professional and the recommended approach, particularly to avoid unpleasant surprises and save time and effort...

It went well, they were helpful and skilled. I am satisfied with how the process went and the help.

We were very well assisted by the real estate agent, and the support staff are also very helpful and friendly. The real estate agent had a lot of patience and interest in our wishes. We would definitely recommend Lauteslager Makelaars.

We are very satisfied with the entire process during the sale of our house. Martijn van Eyk helped us excellently.

We had a good experience. Diederick always responded quickly and gave us all the information we needed. Given the complexity of the process (and how frustrating, unfair and stressful it is) we were happy with the guidance, especially because we don't speak Dutch. We are also satisfied with our apartment.

Very well assisted with the sale of our house and the purchase of our new home. Friendly employees, kind and adequate. Very good real estate agent who paid a lot of attention to our wishes and always made time for us to view houses together. We definitely recommend Lauteslager Makelaars.

Martijn van Eyk was our real estate agent, a very good and honest agent with extensive professional and market knowledge. Highly recommended!

Good market assessment, quick responsiveness, actively involved in the process, neat follow-up. Would definitely recommend the real estate agent to others.

Excellent real estate agent for the Utrecht market. Friendly and accessible. However, somewhat uninnovative in terms of sales.

Diederick excellently guided us with the purchase of our first house.

I was able to do an internship here. It was educational and the employees made time to explain things to me. It was nice that I could also join various tours.

For the second time, we have sold our house through Lauteslager and for the second time, Robert Dunning was the realtor who did this for us. If Robert comes to talk to you about selling, he has done good preliminary research on houses sold in the neighborhood where you live and also honestly shares his experience with houses sold by Lauteslager in the neighborhood where you live. He also comes with a good and well-thought-out proposal for the asking price. Robert is always very accessible during the sales process. If he can't answer, he usually picks up and says he will call you back later. Very nice! After a viewing, he immediately follows up and gives his expectations as well. Depending on how the viewings go, he determines how the sale takes place: negotiating directly with bids or by registration. Then it is very nice that Robert comes with a proposal, thinks along with you, and keeps his head cool when things get exciting, and is also honest to potential buyers. He acts quickly then! It is sometimes said about realtors that they are not trustworthy. That is absolutely not the case with Robert. He is honest, clear and open. Also towards potential buyers! This is how I am too, and I greatly appreciate it in him! The staff at the Lauteslager office also do a good job. Arranging for the photographer to come quickly, creating a good text for Funda, and always acting quickly when you call with a question or request! In short, Robert and Lauteslager are involved, expert and deliver good work! I wholeheartedly recommend Lauteslager!

Top office. Friendly and professional employees who were immediately available for us.

Everything went very well to our satisfaction. Very well done, had a very pleasant contact with the broker.

Contact good and to the point. Except for a single communication error, no problems whatsoever. The handling also went smoothly.

Expert advice, market knowledge and friendliness are the ingredients that have also resulted in a good sale by Lauteslager Makelaars.

I bought my first house with the help of Lauteslager Makelaars. Diederick helped me very well from day one! He has a good view of the market and immediately gave a realistic estimate of the possibilities with my budget. We created a search profile together. Making appointments went smoothly with the back-office staff. Diederick accompanied viewings where possible. He thought along carefully about whether or not to make an offer, in which he took my doubts seriously and answered all my questions well. The house I bought immediately felt right! We thought together about a good offer and Diederick submitted it for me. It's very nice not to have stress about that. He was also involved in the formal part (reading the purchase contract, inspection, signing). I am very happy that Lauteslager - and specifically Diederick - helped me so well!

Everything went according to plan. As you would expect from a real estate agent. The office also worked correctly. Regularly informed.

A flawless and successful sale! The Lauteslager team is very involved and personal. They ensure that all your questions regarding the sale and purchase of a new home are answered and that you can proceed through the sales/purchase process with plenty of advice and a relaxed and good feeling. Always accessible and caring, thank you so much!

Great help with the sale of our house! From beginning to end of the process, Maud and Ben did everything to make it a success.

A very pleasant real estate agent! Only the internal communication within the office could be a bit better. End of story.

Good at communication, clear agreements. No surprises afterwards. Knowledge of Zanten and customer-friendly

Good clear agreements, very satisfied! Communication clear and friendly. Help received where needed. I wholeheartedly recommend them!

From the beginning, a pleasant contact! Ben has guided me wonderfully and removed some stress; I can highly recommend him.

The collaboration was very pleasant and effective. Lauteslager turns out to be a professional realtor who was able to meet my wishes quickly.

Went well. Collecting the VVE data was messy. The real estate agent seems very competent to me, but his pace is sometimes a little too high when communicating with a senior salesperson.

We are very satisfied with the way we were helped in the search and purchase of our new home. We were also very friendly and expertly assisted with the sale of our old house. Big praise for the employees of Lauteslager!

The entire process, from viewing the apartment to putting it on the market and through to the sale, went quickly and smoothly. Robert kept us well informed about the viewings and he sold our apartment very well in a short time.

Perfect handled by realtor Ben Steegenga of Lauteslager. From the appraisal to the sale of our house. Also excellently guided and kept informed throughout the entire process by internal employee Maud. Realtor Lauteslager is truly recommended for the sale of your home!

Excellent service, clear advice, appointments are kept. All worries were taken out of our hands. Exactly what we needed.

Throwing unsolicited flyers into your mail.

Lauteslager is a skilled and involved club. Both the brokers and other employees will quickly know your name, are engaged and keep you informed of all news. Definitely recommended!

I bought my first house from this company, 105 square meters of living space. However, after I had increased the living space with a large skylight and sold the property a few years later, it turned out to be only 88 square meters in size. Very unreliable group.

Received good advice and maintained close contact throughout the sales process and sold quickly! Exactly what you want in a real estate agent!

Excellent real estate agent, with knowledge of the area and a good selling price. Market forces do the rest. Also well supported by the back office at the agency.

Very satisfied with my choice for Lauteslager. Everything went smoothly, tightly negotiated, always putting my interests first. Thanks so much!

After being scammed by a previous realtor, this was a breath of fresh air! In particular, the telephone support was very adequate.

Communication with the real estate agent was fine. We had previously determined a good sales strategy together. Good advice from the real estate agent in various scenarios. The sales result was therefore also good. Throughout the process, we received consistently good and fast information about the sales process and the next steps. Satisfied customer then.

Good consultation regarding possible viewings, Quick feedback on viewings. And my house sold!

Worked with Martijn van Eijk from Lauteslager, a top realtor! Very knowledgeable and adequate. He guided us both for purchase and sale.

Great help and exceeded expectations! Everything went very smoothly with proactive and good communication!

Robert advised us excellently. We highly recommend Lauteslager real estate agents in Utrecht!

Correct market approach. Sales process and result proceeded to our full satisfaction. Good communication with the office

It went quickly, pleasantly and informally. There was a lot of good communication with me during the process about the status of affairs. I am very satisfied

Ben and Maud were very helpful and knowledgeable. They always answered all our questions and guided us throughout the search and purchase process. I definitely recommend them.

Short lines, attentive and good advice. Funda wants me to now fill in thirty-nine characters. Rather annoying

This is what you hope to find when you are looking for a broker who will sell your property. Keeps appointments, has knowledge of the subject matter, paints a realistic picture of the situation and is also pleasant to deal with.

From beginning to end, expert and realistic guidance during the sale of the property. At the same time, they are willing to take on challenges and risks, calculatedly so and always in good consultation. A very pleasant agency to work with. Hence, I also made use of their services for the purchase of the next property. Highly recommended to team up with them.

Provided very sound advice after more than good sales results that were also achieved by them, which changed the approach to purchase. By having all aspects in portfolio that are important when purchasing, it was possible to quickly switch with for example a financial advisor. Due to the pace maintained during this process, the purchase process proceeded even smoother than expected. During the purchase they negotiated well by coming up with concrete and realistic points, which already…

Good office and special compliments to Martijn and Amber for their expertise and excellent preparation. Martijn is easily accessible, listens carefully and gives realistic advice. Thanks to him, I had a very smooth sales process and it was completed to the great satisfaction of both parties.

Lauteslager and in particular Martijn and his directly involved colleague Amber were always easily accessible, decisive and expert. The cooperation surrounding the awarding to candidate also went very well. We therefore wholeheartedly recommend both the office and the broker!

Excellent guidance. clarity for both buyer and seller. After each viewing, we received a report which is very nice.

Ensure the sales process runs smoothly and effectively. One downside: filling out the extensive questionnaires from the NVM tool. It's irritating because much of it was irrelevant and some information was known to the real estate agent but not to us.

The contact was satisfactory under all circumstances. The proposals were realistic. I also found the contact with the office staff very good. So far: chapeau!

The real estate agent provided excellent advice and assistance in buying a house. Both during the viewing and during the bidding process with registration. Highly recommended.

Good contact, expectations met, good support from the office, company successful for all parties

I am extremely satisfied with Lauteslager, and specifically with Martijn van Eyk. We had frequent contact for the sale of the house: that was always accessible and always expert! Furthermore, the photographer created beautiful photos and a video, which certainly contributed to the sale of the house.

Reacts very effectively to things that happen. Involves the client but at the same time is very independent, to the point functioning.

Lauteslager has broad knowledge of the market, is available with practical advice and action (market tips, assessment value, arranging building inspection etc.), has a professional relationship with other brokers and helps well and appropriately with negotiating.

The real estate agent acted very slowly at the beginning of the sale. We had to chase after the photographer ourselves, and when the house was empty and clean, the agent suddenly came up with all sorts of questions for information that we still had to provide. As a result, the house wasn't listed on Funda for almost a month, during a period when the weather was extremely suitable for tours for potential buyers. The agent also made quite a few mistakes in other areas. This resulted in the sale …

What a great experience we had with Lauteslager Makelaars! From the very first contact to the successful sale of our house at Biltstraat 101 BC, the communication with the office was excellent. Both the internal staff in the office and the brokers themselves deserve all praise! They were not only friendly and professional, but also always available to answer our questions and guide us through the process. Without their expertise and dedication...

Pleasant contact, helpful and expert. Very nice realtor. Communication flowed smoothly. And good advice.

We were excellently helped by Lauteslager Makelaars. The communication with the office was seamless. Both the external and internal staff at Lauteslager Makelaars deserve a standing ovation! They were friendly, professional and always willing to answer our questions. Without them, the entire process would not have gone so smoothly. So, if you are looking for a real estate agent who not only achieves results but also understands that the road to your new home is just…

The real estate agency is very accessible, all employees I have dealt with respond quickly and efficiently, keep their appointments, are expert and give good advice, listen carefully and think along and are involved.

Everything went perfectly; from the first introduction and the offer, the contacts were extremely pleasant and professional. Also consistently adequate communication; we are extremely satisfied

Everything went well. Our realtor was very correct and clear. Perhaps a little too cautious with the price!

Short lines, fast responses, friendly service, good assessments, well-supported bids.

Very pleasant realtor. Honest story and not only are the realtors service-oriented, but also the back office.

Professional, knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. Also has a large network in the city of Utrecht. This resulted in my house being sold quickly.

Especially the communication was excellent. Furthermore, the extremely friendly telephone support from the other employees should also be mentioned.

The service, advice and support during the sale of our house were of a high level. Very grateful for

The sales process went very smoothly. A good assessment beforehand of the market, yield and lead time. Subsequently, quick handling with photos, viewings and transaction. Pleasant and professional.

Excellent, quick and clear contact and customer-focused service. The real estate agent + the staff at the office were focused on providing us with good service.

Excellent realtor!! Martijn did a great job. Next time I will use this office again

Advice, guidance and completion of the process, nothing but praise. Was kept well informed about the sales process. Just a pleasant collaboration as the selling party.

Incredibly well assisted and very happy with the end result. Also, fared much better in the negotiation than if we had done it ourselves.

Lauteslager is simply a very pleasant company to work with, both for purchasing and selling!

I was kept well informed about developments and helped well with questions. The employees seemed professional.

unreliable

Ben van Lauteslager was a very pleasant real estate agent. He is very experienced, reliable, highly skilled and good at dealing with potential buyers. His advice helped me greatly. He doesn't shy away from staying on the phone in the evenings for negotiations. I found his support during the sales process to be very positive and would definitely recommend him!

Excellent real estate agent. Friendly and attentive customer service. Real estate agency with expertise and a personal interest. Definitely recommended!

Really well assisted by Lauteslager! They understood my wishes exactly and sent me the right houses! Extremely happy with my house and the fantastic help in the process to find this house! Always well informed and I feel very well helped! Truly recommended for others!

Incredible fine and well assisted by Lauteslager Makelaars. I sold my house and purchased a new house with the help of Lauteslager. They helped me well and always provided honest advice. They were always accessible for my questions. Should I ever sell/buy a house again, I would definitely go to Lauteslager. It's nice to know that you have a reliable real estate agent!

Extremely professional and friendly assistance received. We are very satisfied. Thank you.

Terrible bad service. They sent the house report with incorrect customer data, we politely requested a change, but they got it wrong again, we kindly asked again, but they never responded. Moreover, as offered, we requested to send the bill to the notary, but they never responded. Instead, they sent an aggressive letter to my home requesting money. We had to call and complain for the third time. It seems too much work for them to read their emails and do what they are paid by their customers for. Or maybe they are just racist, as others have already said. Too bad. Don't waste your time, your money and your respect on them. There are plenty of other good companies. PUNT is the best!

Our house sold within no time. Fantastic service, quality advice, experts in Utrecht real estate!

I have always had good contact with my purchasing broker. She always knew exactly what I found important and which key points needed to be considered. Regarding advice on the bid, this was always done in consultation. When I indicated that I didn't want to proceed anyway, I wasn't pushed further to do so. The purchasing broker properly looked after my interests.

We bought a new build house through Lauteslager and were very friendly received by Eric. In addition, we sold our current house together with Miriam Schipper. She guided us enormously well through this entire process; she is very professional and skilled. Also the people at the office, in this case we had contact with Denise de Bondt, are always accessible and happy to think along with you. In short, for us, both for the purchase and sale, we experienced this whole process as positive and would definitely recommend Lauteslager as a real estate agent in Utrecht.

Very bad experience. Very unprofessional, no clear communication, to the point of being dishonest. Very passive-aggressive messages. What a waste of time. In my experience, they would promise you so much just to have properties in their hands... Not trustworthy.

He only had one job and even that was too much for him I think; first we were given the wrong option list, then the wrong appendix belonging to the agreement & we received the sales brochure six months after the drawing.

Great office that helps you well and listens to you.

Know nothing about this

In contact with the real estate agent, I was initially rejected based solely on my voice, regarding a property where it was stated to be rented out when that wasn't the case. In the second contact, this possibility suddenly existed, but no consideration was given to ways of renting it out. Also, there is no clear line among the colleagues. It’s very annoying that they don’t look at the person but at what needs to appear on paper. Totally unfriendly.

Lots for sale

We hired them because we wanted to buy a house. What they offer is mediocre service. They send you a bunch of emails with an offer and say you have to bid 50,000 euros above the asking price, and that's it. We…

Careless, misleading, expensive. Never again.

Unreliable realtor. I would never (again) do business with them.

Top Quality Agents!

Kind people who helped me well. Thanks to them, I have come to a house in the difficult market in Utrecht. That would not have been possible for me alone.

I lived in Groningen and came to Utrecht for work. I was shocked by the craziness of this housing market. The people at Lauteslager reassured me, we were able to take a 'tourtje' to better map out my wishes. After that, I found my dream house within 2 months! Top and thanks.

Not very responsive or expert

Nice office with friendly internal and external staff. They helped us (family with 2 children) very well with the purchase and sale of our house in Utrecht. Highly recommended!

Poor information and unfriendly staff

bad company, trying to excuse racism.

A fine reliable realtor who sold our house for a good price, excellently guided and helped us through the entire sales process and always responded quickly and well to questions. For now we will remain living here, but in the future for any purchase or sale I would definitely choose Lauteslager again.

Very bad service. We had an appointment and they were quite late. We had to push the agents to do things. There were inconsistencies with the procedures compared to other brokers. Would not recommend going here.

Poor service, moreover also racist.

Excellent real estate agent. Also good mortgage advice.

Racist people, terrible service
