VGW Real Estate

We have had an amazing experience with VGW from the beginning. The viewing was well organized and the communication went smoothly, we got quick responses and the portals for submitting the required documents were user-friendly and intuitive. We had some problems with signing the final contract, but this was due to the owner and is not VGW's fault. I would definitely recommend VGW to anyone considering working with them! Tyler

Fast response, well organized, professional team

I can't believe I wasted 20 euros on this registration... It's better to join a free Facebook group...

Professional realtor with business acumen and a good process! Communication is good and agreements are honored 🤝Recommended 👌🏼…

This is not a pleasant group to work with. It is impossible to arrange a house viewing through them.

EDIT: Helaas beschuldigden ze ons ervan dingen in het appartement te hebben vernield om onze borg in te houden - wat niet waar was en wat ze later ook toegaven. Vervolgens hielden ze een flink bedrag van onze borg in voor schoonmaak, ondanks dat hun collega het appartement na ons vertrek als 'schoon' had afgevinkt. OPLICHTERS, NIET INSCHAKELEN.

Hun communicatie was professioneel en het appartement was in goede staat.

I have been working with VGW since 2016 as a landlord of several apartments in Utrecht. Robin, Damian and Max always provide professional assistance in finding suitable tenants and the handover. I recently moved to the Far East and am confident that they will (continue) to serve me and my tenants well.

20 euro registration fee.

If you are invited for a viewing, the communication is excellent. Also during the move. But after that, the communication completely changes. Unanswered e-mails and the refund of the deposit took more than 30 days. I only got my deposit back after I had engaged a lawyer. By the way, the 5-star reviews come from people who have just moved in. They ask you to leave a review in exchange for a discount at a restaurant.

Good experience with property management! Excellent communication and good portals for reporting repairs and keeping track of finances. The professionalism and digitization make communication with the landlord smooth and easy.

They have not refunded my deposit and are no longer replying to my emails... terrible.

AVOID. The worst real estate agency I've ever used. They target expats who are desperately looking for housing. I rented a studio in Utrecht and that was a very stressful experience. …

Unprofessional and rude...

Very bad, no strengths

Very polite agency, thanks to them I now have a rental property. Very punctual guys and clear answers to questions, thank you!

Wonderful experience renting via VGW Group. The agent and offer staff are extremely positive in their communication, very friendly and offer good service. They really do their best to help and offer support in a periode that can be very…”

My friend and I found our dream apartment through VGW Group. The communication was always professional and clear: you are thoroughly guided at every step, and it is very clear what you need to do. Robin and Max were both very calm and friendly. Thank you for the great service!

We had been looking for an apartment in Utrecht for a while, and VGW Housing always had many different homes available for viewings! We could easily and quickly find a rental apartment! Everything went perfectly!

Thanks to VGW Group, we quickly found a beautiful, pleasant and affordable rental property, highly recommended! Communication was also enjoyable.

A pragmatic office, the process went very smoothly. Recommended!

Personal approach and very helpful in finding an apartment. Clear and quick communication throughout the process.

Generally quite satisfied with the services provided by VGW. From registration to viewings, everything is well arranged. You can register for a viewing via the website and will neatly be informed whether there is space or…

Do not respond to Airbnb questions or emails. Not interested?

Disappointing experience and bad service. My partner and I were looking for a new ... from January 2023 to May 2023

Een fantastische ervaring, alles verliep vlekkeloos, van de bezichtiging tot de sleuteloverdracht.

The current location where we live is really fantastic! It is fully furnished and the costs include gas, water, and electricity. Located in the center of Utrecht, the real estate agents were extremely helpful upon our arrival and answered most of the questions we had. We already feel completely at home here.

The only office that actually helped us in finding an apartment. Because the housing shortage is very big, you have to be in Utrecht to plan a viewing. Vgw was also clear and transparent about the contract terms. We recommend it.

I had the pleasure of renting from VGW Group and I must say that my experience was exceptional. Mr. Robin made finding an apartment easy!

I am very satisfied with the help that VGW Group has provided me with in renting out my house in the center of Utrecht. They were very clear and direct. Robin approached me in a very friendly and professional manner. My sincere compliments for your good work. Keep it up!

I was only invited once for the worst imaginable property, because no one was interested in it. For all the good properties I was never invited.

Hello, I can wholeheartedly recommend VGW Group as a great real estate office. They are …

Very unprofessional. They do not respond to emails or messages from Airbnb (while they do see the messages).

VGW has given me the stability I needed. It's really nice to come home after work and have a comfortable place to live. Moreover, they are always accessible and very efficient in solving problems.

I have now made extensive use of the services and support of VGW Group throughout the entire rental process for a property, and I have been neatly and efficiently assisted at every step - finding a tenant, all the bureaucracy surrounding the contract, and the management. Thank you very much!

The customer service is a disaster. They don't even answer emails or messages on Airbnb. I asked for information about availability multiple times, but got no response. The worst rental experience ever.

I had a good experience with VGW. They responded quickly to my questions. My application was processed smoothly, I viewed the property quickly and made an offer. I found a nice and cozy apartment in a fantastic neighborhood of Utrecht and can wholeheartedly recommend their services.

This is not a pleasant organization to work with. They do ask for your registration, but are unreachable by phone and do not respond to your emails. It is even impossible to arrange a house viewing through them.

I paid for the service and got nothing back.

Everything is going great at the moment. The houses are new (as is the furniture!) and we have everything we need. I can definitely recommend it.

The communication and service were excellent!

So far, the cooperation with VGW has been a good experience. I attended several viewings in two weeks and found a house. The communication with Robin went very smoothly and the handover was punctual!

They defraud, you pay for the site, there is no viewing planned and after a while the property is already rented out. There is no feedback, they also block your account. Do not contact them. Personal experience.

From the first phone call to the handover of the key, I was extremely well assisted. There was a quick response and immediate action. I would recommend VGW Group.

They are helpless, inattentive and very hard to reach. I paid 20 euros for their subscription, but I couldn't log in and use it. I emailed them, but got no help. Don't give your money to these people.

No response to my request.

I had been looking for an apartment in Utrecht for months when I viewed one of the apartments that VGW Group rents out. The real estate agent was helpful and friendly from the beginning. The communication after I made an offer …

So happy with VGW Group! We were allowed to rent the nicest spot in all of Utrecht from them. Contact was quick, efficient and friendly.

Rare money-grabbing scheme. Earning money from registrations and then no contact and no viewing? I don't even want to rent here anymore.

Very nice experience with VGW & specifically with our broker Max. Knowledgeable advice and quick communication. We are hugely happy with the lovely spot in Utrecht that we found. In viewings where we were not selected, we also received a neat email of cancellation. So recommended!

Exceptionally poor service after we returned the keys. Unreachable and we would like our deposit back.

Zeer slechte service, Engels is niet mijn moedertaal en ik heb moeite om alles te begrijpen. Ik heb altijd op tijd betaald, maar zodra ze hun geld hebben verdiend, is er geen communicatie meer mogelijk. Ik heb ze gebeld, maar ze wilden alleen maar Nederlands spreken.

These people are scammers, do not register online! I first made an appointment to view the room. The room looked completely different than in the photos. The dimensions didn't match either, the room was about 50% smaller. Robin …

Robin quickly and without hassle helped me and my girlfriend find a very beautiful apartment. A real recommendation.

So far, everything is going great! Robin and Max helped us find an apartment in Utrecht quite quickly and were super nice and helpful. We are very happy that we found something, thank you :)

They ask you to pay discreetly for an inspection by having you register on their website (for a small fee), otherwise you won't get a response. After searching for a few months, I still hadn't found a suitable home …

The staff of VGW Housing were very helpful and open. They follow the procedures professionally and do their best to be friendly and knowledgeable. The apartments are in good condition and VGW offered multiple options for viewings.

Good service and pleasant communication, always with professionalism. Robin was very friendly and helpful. A very good and safe solution for renting an apartment.

Scammers, paid 150 euros for a house, ultimately didn't take the house and no response to get your money back despite having asked multiple times. My advice is to never rent/buy through VGW housing.

Ik voel me niet verplicht om je te helpen. Het enige waar ik om geef is geld.

Als je in het buitenland woont, blijf dan uit de buurt van Robin en de VGW-groep. …

The staff of VGW Housing were very friendly and helpful and also reacted quickly.

After I moved to the Netherlands, I had trouble finding a house. VGW came to my aid after a month of searching for housing. I provided my wishes on their website and within 10 days I had the house. Great service from Robin and the team.

Great! Very well assisted by Robin. He acted extremely quickly. We had contact about a house on Friday and I was able to sign the contract on Monday. I could move into the house on Wednesday, amazing!

Watch out for these scammers. I received an e-mail with an invitation for a viewing and a few questions. They also indicated that I could subscribe to their website and get priority over other candidates by paying €20. After …

We were helped wonderfully by Barry from VGW! From the viewing to receiving the keys, everything went very quickly. Top!

Logged in ✓ Paid ✓ Responded to a studio ✓ …

Don't consider them if you want to rent. They have a bad attitude. I think this comes from the fact that we also had a dog, but we were willing to pay 6 months deposit. They didn't take us seriously, I don't think they even passed our offers on to the landlords.

The move to my new apartment went very efficiently; I got the key already within a week after the viewing. If I ask a question by e-mail, I usually get an answer within an hour!

Ze negeren al je e-mails gewoon. Is het nou echt zo moeilijk om tegen iemand te zeggen: A. "Ja, hij/zij is een geschikte kandidaat" of B. "Nee, hij/zij is geen geschikte kandidaat"?

I'm looking for a retail space but ..... Difficult to speak with someone who knows something about the property. I'm trying everything, phone, email .....

Extremely slow to respond. Do not use their services.

Very kind people work there. I wasn't there for business but to drop something off for the neighbors. They were immediately willing to accept the package. Very sympathetic.

Responded to a property in Utrecht, received a quick response and well helped by Robin. Within a week and a half everything was arranged and I'm in my little house :)

VGW Housing quickly helped us find a large, affordable and very neat apartment. They respond quickly to emails and the real estate agents are very friendly and professional. I recommend this agency to everyone!

just a good company and nice people

Quickly found a home through VGW, especially had contact with Robin. We are very happy with it, nice little house that was left tidy. Robin was easy to reach. We did have to call often to follow up on things, and there was a…

Thanks to Robin from VGW Housing, I managed to find a beautiful apartment and am very happy with it. The communication was very pleasant and I always received a response quickly. Highly recommended!

Super happy with the service of VGW! From response to keys, everything went very smoothly and pleasantly, after which we are now able to live in a beautiful house in a short time! Robin was easily accessible during the process and very friendly. Thank you for all your good care!

Thanks to Astrid and Robin, we quickly found a rental property. We were well assisted, the steps were clear, and the handling was fast and professional. We are very happy with the home!

Helped by Robin, very unfriendly and didn't hear back from him anymore.

Quick and good assistance from Robin, within a week I was able to sign for a lovely and beautiful studio. No hidden costs and clear communication, recommended!

Robin was supposed to contact me but hasn't heard back, otherwise treated very unfriendly

Very friendly and helpful people, finding a house was a pleasant experience!

What happened? One of my employees (an expat who doesn't speak Dutch) is being 'very unfairly treated' by this company (I would prefer to use a different word here) through illegally deducting cleaning costs of €250 from his deposit…

The men of VGW take full responsibility to ensure your move goes as smoothly as possible, even if that means extra work hours on the weekend. They communicate proactively and maintain excellent contacts between…

DON'T TRUST HER. She won't give you your deposit back if you're an expat. …

UPDATE: Hi Damian, thanks for your reply and it's great that you are further optimizing the services. However, I haven’t received any cards for free coffee at BROODNODIG and free brunch dishes at THE STREETFOOD CLUB? I see it…

Great help from Damien in finding a room in Utrecht. Been searching since March, sent countless emails and found nothing... Until last Thursday! Finally viewed a room and received great help/arrangement thanks to Damien. Luckily I don't have to travel 2 hours there and 2 hours back every day anymore!👌🏻 …

Very friendly, great houses and a smooth process. Boris helped us and answered all our questions, and we found a house in the center of Utrecht in no time! A real recommendation!

Via VGW I now live in a beautifully maintained studio in a prime location in Utrecht. Via email, the real estate agents with whom I have been in contact respond very quickly (Boris and Robin), by phone they are sometimes quick to reach and other times…

Very professional and fast service! Definitely a recommendation!

I paid the service fee (20 euros) and they don't even respond to my requests for an inspection. That's how it goes in the Dutch real estate market... Tragic.

Super service, completely satisfied!

I recently moved to Utrecht and was looking for a rental apartment. VGW Group helped me find a very nice apartment. They also helped me with all the other necessary things, such as closing an energy contract. I am very satisfied with VGW Group.

I rented an apartment through VGW Housing and my experience with this office was very positive. The entire process went smoothly, from arranging a viewing to moving into the apartment. The staff were always helpful and responded quickly to all e-mails.

Hello. We recently rented a house near Utrecht Centraal through VGW and Boris from the team was exceptionally helpful and professional. Every email was answered clearly and quickly. When checking in, he was also very helpful and made…

Fast communication, efficient and attentive service.

Ik heb onlangs via VGW een woning gehuurd en hun service was van begin tot eind uitstekend. Van het regelen van bezichtigingen tot de verhuizing zelf, boden ze een professionele service met helder en bondig advies en reageerden ze snel op mijn vragen. Een betrouwbaar en integer bedrijf.

Beautiful housing stock, very satisfied with my little apartment. Standard response within 24 hours, a shame is that they are poorly reachable by phone. The information about the property itself could be somewhat more extensive beforehand. Service is further more than okay!

I found a wonderful apartment in Utrecht! Very professional and fast service! Thank you Boris for the help!

Our experience with VGW was very pleasant; we were glad that after a month of searching we finally found an apartment. We find it regrettable that we did not contact the real estate agency earlier. The only downside was …

If you just pay, a lot is possible with this real estate agent: beautiful properties are offered. Unfortunately, the company doesn't care much about what is allowed according to the law or what is ethical. I received a termination notice based on false grounds…

Friendly and helpful people but they ask a lot of money from (potential) tenants while working for the landlord. I responded to an advertisement for a rental house and was able to come by quickly…

Found a really beautiful little house in the center of Utrecht with my boyfriend within a few weeks. The communication always went smoothly!

Questions about still illegal brokerage fees, they just call this 'administration costs' of 295 euros... They lie about this on the TV program Kassa. Don't fall for it!! Mandatory costs.

Efficient and professional service. The contract was signed within a few days after the viewing. Highly recommended!

VGW made it very easy to find an apartment in Utrecht. They responded quickly and regularly posted new offers on their website.

We have incredibly good experiences with VGM Housing. A very nice team helped us find an apartment in Utrecht really quickly. It's great that they are so easily accessible and don't sell you nonsense. Super friendly people, definitely recommended to contact in your search for a home.

The rental of our house in Oudwijk went smoothly and professionally. The asking price we had in mind turned out to be realistic. The lease agreement could be digitally signed and a lot of work was taken out of our hands by various…

Initially, I was a bit uncertain about who the main contact person for this specific accommodation was. Furthermore, the staff were very helpful, responded quickly and ensured a smooth and easy check-in.

It feels as if they only want your money and nothing else. They force you to pay 20 euros 'registration fees', but you have no guarantee that you'll get a house. My friend and I tried for five months to get something and they were totally unhelpful, especially if you don't have an employment contract in Utrecht.

Nobody was at the viewing...

Nice and friendly as long as you are interested in renting. After that it becomes clear that these people don't care about you. I have been waiting for more than 5 weeks for the return of my deposit. Very difficult to reach by phone. Slow via email and many promises, but nothing is fulfilled. A very bad company.

I did not show up for the appointment to view the apartment.

Very unprofessional. We had an appointment for a viewing, but no one showed up at the agreed time and we were also not informed of any changes. After sending an email to complain about this behavior, we received no response.

Barry helped us find a dream house! Quick communication and service from Barry and Robin. VGW has housing options for rent with beautifully finished properties.

Due to circumstances, we were urgently looking for a rental property in Utrecht. Thanks to VWG, we had a viewing within one day and a week later we were already in our new home. Good service and super speed!

I found my current and previous home in Utrecht through VGW, and that went very quickly from the moment I started looking. VGW lists many different types of homes online every month, making the search for a house ...

Recently had a viewing of a little house, they were going to call on Friday. Monday afternoon still nothing heard and no email back received, my mother then called and the lady on the phone said that the house was already rented…

Do you want to rent out houses or apartments, VGW is the rental broker of Utrecht. Largest network, good service, also management and short-stay. They arrange everything for the carefree rental of real estate.

Long waiting times for response emails, invalidly collected administrative costs (contrary to law).

No feedback, I had to chase them multiple times for an answer. A totally unprofessional approach, in my opinion.

The procedure for viewing apartments and submitting an application went very quickly, there were many homes on the website.

Nice people and always time for a cup of coffee.

Through VGW I found a fantastic house - an affordable rent price and in the middle of Utrecht. The communication with the real estate agent was however a problem - I got no response to my e-mails and phone calls, which made the whole process very …

Initially a good real estate agent, until I wanted to get my deposit back after I had ended the rent of an apartment. After a small final cleaning they tried to charge me almost 1000 euros without a proper procedure. I will have to start a lawsuit to deal with this.

We wanted to temporarily rent out our house due to a trip we are going to take. We have tried for two months to get in contact with VGW (Utrecht), however this is almost an impossible task. After calling multiple times (they have…

Ik ben zeer tevreden over de bemiddeling door VGW Group, met name door Boris. We hebben alles in twee weken geregeld, een eerlijke en professionele aanpak. C. Barbato

Nice club. I've recently been renting through VGW Wonen. Quick and fast process. And even if something doesn’t go as planned, they resolve it immediately. Recommended!

Very friendly staff and quick responses to email. They have come to a top house through this broker.

Had a great experience with them. Personal attention and flexible in their work.

Had a great experience with VGW Housing! A viewing and the keys to a beautiful rental apartment in Utrecht within a week. Also always reachable when you have questions.

Pleasant realtor to do business with! They ensure a clear plan for renting a house and keep you well informed of everything that has been done and still needs to be done. Also easily accessible and reliable!

Great company! Well assisted and excellent service... had a superb stay.

I found my dream home through VGW Group. Great company, I was well assisted by Boris.

An unbelievable unprofessional company. Their website is poorly designed and contains more than 20 broken links. Their search engine for their properties does not work and is difficult to use. And finally, their customer service is terrible.

Expert, reliable and fast. Ideal partner for renting and managing real estate!

Excellent service!

Nice company with approachable and friendly staff. The viewing was quickly arranged, and even when it suited me better to postpone the key handover by a day at the last minute, that wasn't a problem.

I have recently moved to the Netherlands, which thanks to Willem and Marc from VGW Housing has become a lot easier. …

Good, fast service. I got an apartment in Utrecht within two weeks.

Good service! Everything well arranged and handled neatly. It's great that a good inspection report is drawn up!

A couple of months ago I viewed an apartment through the website. I could only respond if I had registered, which I did. I called them, but the person who was responsible wasn't available. No one could tell me anything at that moment. A few days…

Well assisted by Marc and Robin, found a home fairly quickly. Also quite a lot of offers come along which makes the chance of finding something nice greater.

Very pleased with the good service of VGW. Without problems and additional costs, an earlier booking, for renting an apartment for a weekend, was converted to a new date. Our cancellation, due to circumstances, occurred only…

We are always well assisted with the rental of our apartments. Fast, good handling and accurate.

Contact with VGW Group went very well. Sometimes it took a while for there to be a response, but it always came. There was flexible reaction to special requests on my part. In short: nice group!

Quickly able to view several beautiful homes. Good contact, quickly found a house. It would be nicer if the website were more up to date with houses where…

Great service from Marc Kaak! He was very friendly and very thorough.

Last month, I moved into an apartment with a friend that we saw on the website of VGW real estate. We had very pleasant contact with the employees of VGW Real Estate! We will definitely be looking for a home through VGW Real Estate again in the future.

We were interested in a commercial building that was listed on Funda Business by VGW. First an email was sent via the website to express our interest, no response. A few days later we called, the person who was responsible for the property…

Good service

Everyone I've met at VGW has been very helpful. They made the whole process as easy and seamless as possible. We are very happy with our new home!

Great service and very friendly and helpful staff. The communication was clear and fast. I have nothing negative to say about the service, everything went smoothly and I had a contract within a week or so after the first viewing. A real recommendation for everyone looking for a house in Utrecht!

The VGW team has helped me enormously in finding my current home in Utrecht. When the first house I visited was not to my liking, they quickly searched for a better match. Subsequently, they have efficiently and accurately guided me through the process.

Reported to Damian that if a nice shop becomes available near the Dom tower we are interested, until we were called on a Thursday with 'I have something beautiful for you!' Within an hour the viewing was scheduled, …

9 years ago I met Damian, as an enthusiastic rental agent. In the meantime, he has rapidly grown thanks to tireless dedication. A great partner for a comprehensive offering!

Robin and the rest of the VGW Housing team were very helpful. The rental process went smoothly and quickly, and I did not experience any problems. An absolute recommendation for everyone looking for high-quality housing services.

Damian and the team at VGW Real Estate are fantastic. I moved here from the US and he was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Damian is great at obtaining extra information and really helps you with the search process. …

Pleasant guidance, beautiful apartment, normal prices and nice people. Very satisfied.

Being able to negotiate, fast service and a large selection are just a small taste of the many advantages of this broker. We visited an apartment on Wednesday and were able to sign on Friday. …

Toen ik moeite had met het vinden van een woning in Utrecht, raadde een vriend me VGW Vastgoed aan. En ik kan alleen maar zeggen dat ze, en met name Robin, fantastisch werk leveren. Je weet vast wel hoe moeilijk het is om in Utrecht een …

Fast, effective and clear service. Robin was very accommodating with our situation and helped us quickly buy the house. All contract-related matters were professionally handled. We were very satisfied with his overall service.

My friend and I, as an independent entrepreneur and student with also a limited budget, do not have the most favorable profile for the housing market in Utrecht. However, we were able to find a beautiful apartment through VGW Vastgoed…

We have had good experiences with VGW Vastgoed. We've been doing business with them for a long time and haven't had any conflicts with letting agent Damian during that period. Everything proceeds through good mutual consultation.

VGW Real Estate quickly and professionally helped me find a new apartment. The collaboration was very pleasant, and they responded quickly to my questions. I can wholeheartedly recommend VGW Real Estate for the search of a new home.

I had a very good experience with VGW Vastgoed. I needed to find an apartment quickly and they helped me with that. They (the team, but especially my contact person Ron de Ruijter) responded quickly and professionally to my questions, both personally and via email, and now I am enjoying living in my new apartment.

This was the best experience I've ever had with a real estate agent, from the first contact. They are very involved and caring, with the perfect combination of professionalism and friendliness. In short, a great service. Definitely recommended for everyone looking for a new home. Thanks VGW and keep it up!

2.5 years ago I did business with VGW Vastgoed and quickly found a new place. …

An excellent service, found a new home within a limited time. The best thing was that I could also visit the homes in the evening, which suited me best. Highly recommended!

At VGW Vastgoed you are at the right address. Three years ago we found a super apartment and now that we wanted to live bigger, they were helpful again. Within one and a half weeks everything was settled; they helped us with every step in the…

Outstanding and professional service. Everything went very well with the office. I would definitely recommend it.

If you are not yet sure that you want to move, you have come to the wrong place with VWG Vastgoed. Because if you decide to go into business with these men, you run the risk of being moved within three days, new tenants to…

Friendly, accommodating, honest and a particularly fast service. That’s how I experienced it when looking for a new place to live. Where other landlords sometimes let things slide and were late in giving answers, VGW Vastgoed is the opposite. Experienced the entire process as very pleasant.

At VGW you are guided with good service in renting and letting a property. Excellent service, customer-friendly and professional. A company that thinks along with you.

When we moved to the Netherlands, we got in touch with VGW Real Estate in the hope of finding a nice apartment for a reasonable price. VGW fully met our expectations. Damien was very friendly and helpful, and we …

For a few weeks now, we have been living in a beautiful, well-maintained and very affordable courtyard house in the center of Utrecht. After we came across this property on the internet and left a response, we soon…

For a week now, we have been living in one of the most beautiful buildings in Utrecht through VGW Vastgoed. Even before we had spotted the apartment ourselves, they contacted us because it suited us so well. Very nice! Thanks to the help of VGW in…

We went for the second time to view a house. My partner had already been there and at that time they said we had a good chance of getting the house. When we arrived and they saw that I was pregnant, they immediately said: 'No, …

Very fast service! Through VGW real estate, I was able to find my home very quickly. After registering, I was able to do a viewing that same day and move into my new home the following month. Overall, a good experience with a flexible and quick-acting company.
