LIVIN Makelaars

It's not common for a buyer to review a seller's realtor, but my experience with RE/MAX Gildenhof and their representative, Mr. Kadir Erol, compelled me to share my thoughts. From the very beginning, Kadir ensured that we felt comfortable. The process was completely transparent, communication was swift, and there was absolutely no pressure. He was always available to answer our questions and resolve our doubts. Kadir even received help from his network to connect us with professionals where a second opinion on specific issues was needed. Thanks to him, the entire process went smoothly and stress-free. It's a well-deserved 5-star review from me!

Very nice contact, we have a lot of confidence in Miriam's experience and honesty. She responded quickly, even to a single reminder. We had the idea that she was very well representing our interests.

Pleasant contact with Daan during the sale of my house. He is easily accessible, thinks along and is very willing to help. I wholeheartedly recommend him!

Kadir seamlessly guided me through the complex home buying process. Regardless of the number or location of viewings, he provided his services with dedication, except for a few instances where his schedule wouldn't allow it. He also did his best to help me find a translator and a contractor for maintenance. Both Kadir and Myriam are true professionals, and I can wholeheartedly recommend their services!

We had a good experience with Kadir Erol during our home purchase process. He was professional and always available to answer our questions. His guidance and expertise made everything much easier and stress-free.

Great real estate agency, great service. Because we had no prior knowledge of the Dutch property market, we relied on Myriam and Kadir and they provided satisfactory service at every stage of the purchasing process. Thanks to their support, we experienced the purchase of our first house in the Netherlands positively.

He was doing well, with a lot of contact regarding the price and how everything would proceed. Friendly and knew which channels he needed to have in order to sell the house as best as possible and as quickly as possible. His advice was definitely valuable. Certainly recommend him.

Thank you to Mr. Kadir, who visited many houses in a short time, made his videos, conducted the necessary interviews for all the houses we had shortlisted and navigated a stressful process with ease.

A very pleasant experience with Kadir Erol. He responds quickly to my email, he is very customer-friendly and always on time.

Had a very good experience with Daan (buying and selling), keeps appointments, easily accessible, thinks along and is very friendly.

We were very well assisted by Hans at Remax Gildenhof. When we had questions, he took plenty of time and with his knowledge, he knew the answer to everything. Furthermore, he helped us a lot in finding our house and advised us correctly.

Contact is fantastic. Daan is available for you 24/7. No question is too much. Gives you a good feeling in an exciting time and is trustworthy.

The owner of this company is fine, but her staff are not well trained and generally the practices are substandard for international clients. The staff are not used to thinking out of the box, they prefer the standard Dutch situation with a wage earner and a mortgage. If your situation is something different, you will have problems. For example, if your financing comes from abroad and/or you have already arranged your own financing (no mortgage), they will panic and demand to see your Facebook or Linked In profile, without which they will advise the seller not to accept your offer! In other words, while in other parts of the world you are cheered because you have your dollar ducks in a row and you are treated as a VIP client, it's not like that in the Netherlands and not here, but instead you are treated like a 3rd class client or a criminal suspect. In my case, because another offer had already been made on the property I liked, several employees reluctantly told me that I have the right to make an offer, but they don’t really like it...

We were helped by Hans from Re/Max. We ended up with him through connections but are more than satisfied with the help we received. Initially, we did the viewings ourselves, but later we had his assistance during the viewings. The advantage of this is that he paid attention to the technical aspects and we could focus on the feeling. Ultimately successful in finding a beautiful house in Nieuwegein. We recommend everyone to engage a buyer's agent.

Super well helped by Hans! We quickly bought a house (within two weeks) in the Utrecht region, which turns out not to be so easy. Together with Hans, we visited several houses and thanks to his expertise, we always got a good picture of the condition of the house, what the attention points are (e.g., how high the renovation costs would be) and whether it also fits within our budget. In short, everything we needed to make a good decision. Furthermore, Hans was available for questions, always well prepared for the houses we were going to visit, patient and helpful! We are very happy with our house search! We really recommend Hans to everyone looking for a house around Utrecht!

Hans helped me very well in finding my first home. I would definitely recommend him.

During my house search, we collaborated with Mr. Kadir and he was extremely helpful during these stressful times. The way he communicated with us, his helpfulness, and also his quick responses made the house search much easier. After searching for a house for a maximum of one week, we finally found a place in Amsterdam and I am grateful to Mr. Kadir and all other RE/MAX employees that he made the impossible possible for us (which of course is finding a house in Amsterdam). If I ever need help with housing, I would definitely collaborate with them again.

I would like to thank Myriam, Diego and their entire team enormously for their services. They were friendly and tireless and offered me all the support I needed to find a rental property. Service with soul. Gratitude.

Market is very competitive so that wasn't an easy journey. The agent really helped us with negotiations.

Looking for a real estate agent? Look no further. Just hire Daan! Daan helped my mother tremendously with the sale of her house. Good advice before and during the sales period, always responding to our questions within an hour (even in the evenings and on weekends) and always willing to help and think along. Truly a top real estate agent!

Daan was day/night available for questions and answers. Advice and contact for improvements to the house. Friendly and ready for every visitor who came by.

Barbara has stood by us very well. Pleasant and efficient contact. Even when things were difficult, she remained positive.

Barbara did an amazing job in helping us out in our house search. She went with us to all of the viewings and pointed out the good and not-so-good things about each house. She never pushed us to make an offer unless we were 100% certain about it. She helped us learning what we wanted to as well in the process. I highly recommend her!

I received sufficient help throughout the process. Barbara made sure to explain everything about the house and process during the visit.

Barbara is a fine, decisive realtor. She has a strong view of the current (housing) market, in her area of sales. That makes it attractive because a home is more than just a pile of stones. She has a pleasant personal approach, she listens well to the wishes of the selling party and knows how to convert them into a good sellable unit with her own insights. She is determined and decisive and through her extensive she is able with co…

We had a pleasant contact and this realtor really thinks along with you. It's nice that the house has been sold, but we are going to miss her!

Barbra is a professional and friendly realtor with a large network. We would definitely recommend her.

Barbara was great. She has supported us in these uncertain times giving us guidance and showing expertise and availability.

Barbara was super helpful and Provided very useful advice during the whole process. More importantly, she has a lot of experience! Totally recommended!

An agent who could excite both us and potential buyers, with her transparent and social approach. She has boundless dedication, even on weekends. Keeps her appointments well. There were no changes of agents during the process. A real recommendation!

Daan van Setten is a top realtor! Friendly, expert, driven and very accessible! I would recommend him to everyone!

We have collaborated with the RE/MAX Gildenhof office, specifically Mr. Kadir Erol and Mrs. Myriam, as our agents. We are non-EU expats and we didn't initially have a chance to view properties. So we really needed a trustworthy party to represent us. Honestly, it was a great experience working with RE/MAX Gildenhof as a real estate agent. Despite the housing crisis and our disadvantaged situation as expats, Mr. Kadir and Mrs. Myriam managed to represent us in the best possible way! It was the first house we applied for and exactly as we wanted, and we succeeded in renting it out with their representation. They were very attentive to all our needs, which was very reassuring in our situation. Thank you! Hopefully we will also buy our first home from you in the future, you are my number one real estate agent in the Netherlands!

Hans de Koning greatly helped me in searching for my first apartment to buy. He really thinks along with you and is pleasant to work with. Everything was clearly explained to me and Hans is very flexible when making appointments. Contact runs super, always a quick response. I definitely recommend this!

Unprofessional communication

Our realtor (Remax) Barbara Dupuits, is in our opinion the best in the business. She looks after your interests as if they were her own and does so in a way that feels familiar. With her approach to work, you are certain that your house will look good and be sold. She has a very good sense of how to present and personally receives all potential buyers and guides them through the house. Even if you yourself don't have much knowledge about selling, she will protect you from mistakes. The opinion of my wife and myself is that this is the best realtor you can find. She knows the market and often also knows the realtor of the buying party. All in all: A very pleasant experience when selling our house. The 2nd one she has sold for us.

Very pleasant contact with Hans from RE/Max gildenhof. Extremely reliable, short lines of communication and a clear vision. Successfully sold our apartment with a beautiful end result. Highly recommended!

Buying a house with the help of Daan Van Setten from Re/Max was truly amazing. As expats, we had zero experience buying a house in the Netherlands. But Daan helped us step by step through the process and further provided his link to the financial advisor and contractor, so everything we need, from selecting the house to being ready for habitation, quickly fits within our budget.

During our search for our first home, Hans was a great help throughout the entire process, from searching to purchasing. Thanks to him, we managed to buy a house in this difficult time that completely matches our wishes and possibilities. In addition, communication is very smooth and pleasant, and action is taken quickly when needed.

Hans is a pleasant, no-nonsense agent. Fast and informal communication. Excellent result.

Dated interiors and small TFT screens from 2003, where the staff apparently works with. Oh well, it won't be stolen in this neighborhood either. I would have preferred a supermarket or flexible workspace with good coffee here. Adds nothing to our neighborhood.

They thought extremely well with us, when we had already lost hope they ensured an outcome that allowed us to buy our dream house after all! Super!

As an expat, buying a house in the Netherlands is currently very competitive and all decisions must be made very quickly. Finding someone with feet and connection is therefore very important. We are very happy and lucky that we found Hans. The package with Hans is very compatible, as the amount of time he spends with us is simply great until we find our house. Hans is a very enthusiastic, sincere, honest and professional person who has helped us pursue our dream in a very easy and short time. We are fortunate to have found each other to buy our house. He is very skilled and his experience is built up with many connections, which makes the process little simple and his advice and suggestions are honest and reliable. He answers all questions and is always approachable for all kinds of questions. We had him with us for almost all viewings and the guidance was very helpful. He always took over our wishes and guided us in thinking in the right direction by giving an estimate of the extra work and money that had to be spent on the house. This was very convenient for us to understand how much we had to offer and to decide whether or not to go for it. Never encourages bidding above asking price and gives advice about the value of the house and ultimately, the bid is exactly the right amount.

Good advice in a relaxed atmosphere. Clear explanation, very involved and motivated. Recommended to work with this company.

Very happy with how Hans helped us in all steps of the sales process, with a very beautiful end result. Also pleasant and efficient in communication. Highly recommended!

Contact was particularly good with Hans. The offered service was excellent. If I had questions, Hans was always available and he gave good advice. Handling a 10 with a griffel.

Hans is a pleasant realtor who listens well to your wishes. Based on those wishes, he searches purposefully and only shares/responds to houses that fit.

In the past few months, Rolf van den Braak has helped us find a house. It was very pleasant working with him, always easily accessible and he really thought along with our wishes and requirements.

Very pleasant and good realtor (Rolf van de Braak). He is friendly, responds quickly, professional, makes time, and is almost available 24/7. Top service.

Good and honest information about your home. Honestly tells you if there are points for improvement of the house before selling.

Jannes is a very skilled and friendly realtor who really understands his profession. He is easily accessible and the rate is attractive. I can definitely recommend him! :-)

What is a realtor doing here? Ugly interior. The shop doesn't fit in this environment. We would like a supermarket.

A couple of weeks ago, we made an appointment to view a property. We were on time. It was raining, but the real estate agent didn't open the door. While he saw us standing there. After we knocked on the door, he opened it irritably. Not a good start then. During the tour, the real estate agent told things that did not match the information in the brochure. He was absolutely not personable and very uninterested. A shame!

Pleasant colleague, excellent service

Very pleasant and good service! Customer-focused

Brokers with a different way of working. Very active and driven!
