Rotsvast Utrecht

Very bad - no NS trains, no online viewing option, say you must come.

Finding an apartment in the Netherlands is difficult, but Rotsvast Utrecht makes it possible! In contrast to many other real estate agents, they only offer quality apartments, so you know from the start that you are looking at places that meet high standards. No surprises, no wasted time. A special thank you to Wiktoria, who was an absolute lifesaver throughout the entire process. In a time when you can easily feel discouraged, she was always helpful, friendly and incredibly positive, making the whole experience much smoother. If you are looking for an apartment in Utrecht, I can wholeheartedly recommend Rotsvast, and if you get the chance to work with Wiktoria, you are in the best possible hands!

I had the pleasure of working with Rotsvast and I am incredibly satisfied with the experience. The exceptional service made the entire process efficient and stress-free. Tom van den Dikkenberg took the time to understand my specific needs and preferences. I also appreciated Tom's transparency and reliability, which created a sense of trust that is rare in this industry. Thank you Tom and thank you Rotsvast Utrecht!

We have collaborated with Rotsvast in Utrecht for temporary rentals. We were very well assisted and can strongly recommend this party (in particular Joey Biesbroeck)!

4 year contract with this agency, never disappointed. Always honest and very helpful. Great service thanks to Rotsvast Utrecht.

Very satisfied with the services and advice regarding the rental of my apartment. Even when there were some problems during the rental period, I could contact them for advice.

I can scarcely find the words to express my enormous gratitude for the incredible kindness that Robert K has shown me! Imagine this: the clock strikes seven o'clock in the evening on a fateful Friday night, and I stood before a closed door, the keys cruelly forgotten on the wrong side. Panic gripped my soul as I realized what precarious situation I was in. Robert K arrives, a rescuer and an angel in human form. His patience and kindness were like a soothing balm for my exhausted nerves. Despite my desperate situation, Robert lent a helping hand. He took the time to guide me calmly and kindly through the complicated procedure to access my apartment. His calming words and reassuring demeanor turned what could have been a nightmare into a manageable challenge. Thank you, Robert K, for being the guiding light in my moment of darkness. Your generosity and kindness will forever be etched in my heart, a testament to the incredible impact one person can have on another's life.

Rotsvast and the team are very helpful. We were new in the Netherlands with family and had nowhere to stay. The team at Rotsvast understood our need and really helped us to rent a house. Thank you very much for this.

Wiktoria was very helpful and patient, although both of us could use more proactive updates and better and more efficient communication to prevent concerns! But overall, Wikitoria was still very pleasant.

I stayed on top of the apartment. It's a beautiful location near Willamina Park.

Two years ago, we found an apartment at Biltstraat 93 through the real estate agency. The landlord treated us well and was very hospitable. Subsequently, we left the apartment in perfect condition and returned to abroad. We waited for the deposit to be returned. And he sent us an email outlining his calculations for utilities based on the square meter size of the apartment, withholding more than 600 euros from our deposit. We tried contacting him via email from abroad, but he never responded.

Pleasant rental experience and quick to respond to matters.

if you have a choice, do business elsewhere

The worst experience I've ever had with a rental company. The communication was terrible and responses took weeks. They replaced a half-broken refrigerator after 2 months. Despite leaving the property clean, they withheld 145 euros from my deposit for cleaning without prior notice. Moreover, they rented me a building under the pretext of upcoming renovation work, which never took place. Instead, they scheduled viewings without informing me about the canceled renovations. Completely disappointed by their lack of professionalism and integrity.

Fair and reliable. Professional and fast.

Very pleasantly helped by Rotsvast

Good advice and tidy people.

Property rented without issues for a long time. Good communication.

Very well advised. My property rented well!

Transparent, good service and pleasant communication!

In the meantime, we have been able to secure a property through another route. In the -very difficult- search for a home, we unfortunately had some bad experiences with various real estate agents, but the team at Rotsvast always responded quickly and was always helpful, a very pleasant contact. So definitely recommended!

Tips for when you rent here: - Request a preliminary inspection as required by the general terms and conditions, not with the comparison of reports after a final inspection; - Be alert during this final inspection; - Seek legal assistance. We had months of difficult communication afterwards. Without providing all invoices for repairs, our entire deposit was withheld. (Based on the repair quote. We now assume that this repair will not be carried out but our deposit has still been retained)

Correct organization. Have been doing business for over 12 years and all agreements are meticulously kept. A real recommendation for both tenants and landlords 👍 …

I was helped so well in finding my home. Friendly real estate agents, thank you very much!

Rotsvast took over my investment property for rental and arranged everything incredibly quickly and very pleasantly. It was rented out faster than I expected and to very reliable tenants.

Professional, reliable and affordable. Moreover, they have a place for everyone's choice, the best locations, truly polite staff and official personnel, and what more could you want!

Experienced real estate agent who is very pleasant to deal with. Understands your situation and tells the honest story.

Very well advised!

Warmly welcomed as a potential landlord and provided with good advice.

Excellent assistance. Very reliable!

Fantastic team, no. 1 in Utrecht. It has never been so easy to find the right solution, very efficient from all perspectives. 100% recommended

I have been renting out properties for more than 10 years through Rotsvast (Utrecht branch). Throughout that time, I've always had good experiences with them. Robert almost always responds immediately, I virtually never have vacancy and am introduced to particularly kind tenants.

Excellent service and extensive knowledge of the market. Excellent accessibility and had plenty of time to answer our questions.

Fast, good service. Well-informed and clear advice.

Very kind realtor. They helped me buy a house that I really wanted. Not easy these days. Afterwards, they maintained contact with the selling party. Good people.

Top brokers, were serious, punctual, competent and reliable - Thank you very much.

Fine organization, customer-friendly, responds quickly and adequately addresses the customer in a difficult market. Special thanks to Robert Kraaij for his patient, expert, and friendly approach! Hopefully, the housing market will recover within a reasonable time.

Fantastic assistance from Rotsvast Utrecht. Special thanks to them. Thanks to Robert and Joey, I found a suitable home within 2 months. My gratitude is great!

Thinking along, cooperating and super efficient! Everything arranged smoothly and quickly. It was a pleasure doing business with them and I can only strongly recommend them!

A great service that removes a lot of stress when moving. Professional, friendly, fast and efficient! Highly recommended.

A very enthusiastic real estate agent who knows how to get things done! He is an involved and very pleasant person.

Living below standard - worthless communication. Poor management. This company does not adhere to rental agreements or contracts. They will steal your money, BE CAREFUL! I have been a tenant for 1 year in Utrecht. Damage caused by roof repairs from July 2022 has still not been repaired today. Terrible smell in the apartment and it leaks water and is uninhabitable. I have moved out and they already have another poor tenant living in misery without any damage being repaired.

Good team, always accessible, think along. A lot of confidence in the management.

Pleasant communication and well organized!

For 5.5 years, I had my house rented out through Rotsvast. Had 4 different tenants. My house has not been vacant for a single day.

For 4 years, we rented out a property through Rotsvast Utrecht while we lived & worked on the other side of the world and it has proven to be excellent! Clear contracts, clear and direct communication and no hassle. Handling repair requests or passing on messages from the VVE (homeowners association) to tenants always ran smoothly and in a timely manner.

Low-quality broker. When we were looking for a new apartment, we contacted the Rotsvast team in Utrecht on 4 different occasions, regarding 4 different properties. The first time they managed to send an invitation for a limited agenda with EVERY (30!) prospective tenant in CC. Talk about amateurism! Poor service, no follow-up and ultimately a waste of time!

Spoke with Robert K. from Rotsvast Utrecht about the possibility of renting out my apartment in a different way and unexpectedly gained new insight into how to proceed with the current situation. Thanks Robert.

These rental agents are crooks. A typical agent who only does it for the money and likes to squeeze tenants. Rented an apartment on Jan van Foreeststraat throughout 2022. The communication surrounding the handover of this property was terrible, and agreements were disregarded. The fact that all reviews are from recent months and all reviewers have only left one review says enough about how genuine Rotsvast Utrecht is.

Rotsvast has mediated for many years in the rental of my Utrecht property (residence abroad). They also took care of the management. This has always proceeded to my complete satisfaction. Agreements made are clear, accessibility and consultation are quick and without detours; if necessary, the very professional management thinks along well, resulting in constructive solutions/recommendations. There is clearly a wealth of experience, which prevents a lot of nonsense. I was once really let down by a competitor when things got difficult, with Rotsvast it has never even been 'difficult'. As far as I am concerned, simply the best for anyone seeking mediation/management for rental.

In summary: worthless communication and little initiative. We rented out our house for 7 months through RotsVast because we were going on a trip. The prices we had agreed to were supposedly exclusive of VAT according to RotsVast, while legally it is stipulated that prices must always be communicated including VAT when dealing with private individuals. For the mediation, we ultimately paid the agreed amount including VAT, for the management this was really not possible according to RotsVast and they therefore did not want to carry it out. Since we only found out about this a month before we went on our trip, we didn't really have any other option than to agree to add VAT. A week before our trip, our contact person left RotsVast. Nothing was communicated to us about this and we had to call several times before it became clear. During the trip, there was a leak, which the tenant emailed to RotsVast on December 8th. On December 20th, we heard from our tenant that RotsVast had not responded to her email, but that they had indicated by phone that they would follow up. Only at the end of January did someone come to look at the leak. On February 17th, I received an email stating that the cause had been found and resolved. Subsequently, on March 13th, I received a notification of order for the replacement of tiles in the bathroom that had been removed while fixing the leak. When we returned from our trip on March 22nd, the tiles were still not replaced. RotsVast refers to the tenants who did not want to cooperate, but they had already moved out of the property on March 15th, so there would have been a whole week to replace the tiles. Ultimately, after calling several times, everything was settled on April 7th... To receive the invoices for the above work for insurance purposes, it was necessary to email RotsVast multiple times, often without receiving a response and requiring a reminder. In addition, one invoice from the contractor was double-billed to us. Until today (May 16th), this has not yet been resolved despite repeatedly emailing asking why this is going wrong and whether it can be corrected. As mentioned, the rental period ended on March 15th. RotsVast was supposed to do the final inspection but we had heard nothing about this until March 20th. After inquiry, we were told two days later that the final inspection had gone well. Another two weeks later, we finally received the report and photos of the final inspection. Throughout the entire rental period, RotsVast did not transfer the full amount for rent, but did collect it from the tenant. After emailing about this, a credit invoice followed. Unfortunately, this was incorrect and we had to email again to receive the full amount.

We were very well advised by Rotsvast Utrecht, the service is excellent and fast, pleasant communication from all employees! We are very satisfied and definitely recommend Rotsvast!

unprofessional and rude...

I haven't received my deposit back and it’s already been 2 months.

I rented out my apartment through them, reliable, professional and fast service. A real recommendation for expats and people who are not moving to Utrecht.

I lived in a house for a year and a half that was managed by Rotsvast. They were polite and professional when showing the house to new tenants while I still lived there. But when I moved out, the landlord didn't want to return my deposit. Luckily, Rotsvast helped me by appealing to the rules, and eventually I got my money back. I would like to thank Robert and the entire team in Utrecht for their help.
