New Amsterdam House is expert, fast and accurate. The property was sold within a week! The handling also went smoothly and easily.

Joris is truly a very good and pleasant realtor. He informed us well and helped us where needed, even when the sales process was sometimes a little less smooth. His positive vibe gave us confidence. Thanks Joris!

Contacts went very smoothly. The fixed prices they use are a breath of fresh air in the real estate agent world in Amsterdam. Although their earnings are not dependent on the sale price, they commit themselves to 100%.

It is not recommended to buy a house through Nieuw Amsterdam Huys, as we are not happy with the guidance we received as expats throughout the entire process. They misled us when we (naively) heavily relied on them to point out problems in the apartments, due diligence, assistance with bids, and obtaining the best possible deal for us. Buying a house is one of the most important financial and emotional decisions that are already stressful in the heated market. Therefore, having a good and reliable real estate agent is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. I understand that we made quite a few mistakes due to a lack of understanding in a new country and blindly trusted the realtor for everything. But I hope no one else makes the same mistake as we did.

I would stay far away from them if you are looking for an honest, competent and reliable purchasing agent, especially if you are an expat. They do the absolute minimum and take advantage of your lack of local market knowledge to earn their hefty commission as quickly as possible. Their only strategy is to get their clients to bid as high as possible, regardless of the actual market value of the house. 7 months ago we bought an apartment in Amsterdam with Joris as our agent. We are only writing this review now because we have since realized many things and now have knowledge about factors that influence property values in the Netherlands, and also because we initially wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. We can say that we absolutely regret our decision to work with Joris due to: 1. He did not provide a single relevant advertisement during the entire search process, nor early access. Worse still, they kept suggesting houses that clearly didn't meet our criteria and were far from our preferred areas. 2. We would advise ourselves to bid on properties despite obvious problems and significant overbidding. All other properties were, according to them, 'very nice'. Note that we weren’t in a hurry and made this clear from the beginning. 3. They did not explain how they arrived at a suggestive offer and how leasehold status, energy labels, renovations, etc. were taken into account in the recommended offer. 4. After we won the bid, there was obvious haste on Joris’s part to close the deal. The building inspection was scheduled for the day we would be going on vacation for two weeks, we could hardly be present, and Joris wasn't either, and many critical issues were missed due to being in poor condition. Things that have cost us a lot of money to repair later. 5. No negotiation was suggested or attempted, not even after a building inspection where several problems had been addressed. We didn’t know if that was even possible; but good agents do it. 6. Poor assessment and review of documents (such as the MJOP). At the last minute, it turned out that the VVE reserve fund was only a quarter of the originally stated amount, and not sufficient to cover the planned maintenance and repairs. I was able to see this and understand it (although somewhat late), despite having just moved to the country. It proves they are not competent enough. 7. Most of our concerns were dismissed with typical sales pitches - concerns such as the disadvantages of a large VVE with one social housing association owning most of the apartments, and its impact on the value/demand of the apartments. 8. All our doubts and worries were confirmed by the bid book (after the sale was closed) - hardly any bids, while ours were significantly higher than the second-highest bid and so far the highest m2 price for a comparable apartment in our neighborhood. Our excessive reliance on an agent was our fault, we accept that, but worse were Joris’s repeated sales pitches, with the worst being: 'your offer will only lead to further price increases in this area, so you don't need to worry'; 'you would have thrown that extra money away on rent anyway' and 'many bids come in via email and phone and do not end up in the bid book'. So we unwittingly and unintentionally contributed further to this housing crisis, which we absolutely do not feel comfortable with. These are exactly the kind of agents you should avoid and people warn against. I have written this long and detailed review so that no one has to endure this bitter and stressful experience when buying their first home, like we did. Please invest your money in a more competent agent (if it’s really necessary) who puts his client's interests first. Most of the good reviews on Google seem dubious, and that also applies to a sales agent, which given the housing crisis is probably the easiest job in Amsterdam.

My partner and I are extremely satisfied with the purchasing service of NAH, and especially with real estate agent Willem van Galen-Last. Because the office is a bit smaller, we received a lot of personal attention and they were always ready to answer our questions directly. Moreover, they weren't afraid to give an honest, critical opinion, even if it wasn't in their own interest. All in all, a reliable and expert real estate agency that we have already recommended to several acquaintances!

Good realtor. Pleasant to work with.

We were lucky to work with Willem, who helped us find and buy our DREAM HOUSE :) Willem was friendly, professional, honest and so resourceful. We cannot recommend him and his services enough!

Positive experience with Joris from Nieuw Amsterdam Huys as a buyer's agent! Found an apartment within three months that met my search criteria.

Dishonest, disrespectful and unprofessional agency. Their business plan revolves around scamming expats. 1/5 is far too generous for them.

With Joris as my purchasing agent, I found a beautiful apartment in the Jordaan. He accompanied me to almost every viewing and was always easily accessible, even outside of working hours. His honesty, expertise, and friendly approach made the entire process very pleasant. I am incredibly happy with his help and can recommend him to everyone!

My experience with Joris from Nieuw Amsterdam Huys was extremely positive. He guided me excellently through the purchase process of my new home in Amsterdam. What I particularly appreciated was his straight-to-the-point approach: clear communication and practical solutions at every step. In addition, he was always available for questions and proactively thought along. I would recommend Joris without a doubt to anyone looking for a reliable and expert real estate agent in Amsterdam!

Great. Communication, knowledge, practical, decisive problem solving. Highly recommended! I am happy to respond to questions, because as Nieuw Amsterdams Huys all real estate agents should be. Also perfect for expats, my wife was also very satisfied, reassured, and informed at a good level, not too much information but the right information. And our house was sold for the highest price ever in our apartment complex. And all that for not even such a high price. Even the cheapest of the 3 agents we consulted with. Thanks for everything Bas!

We are extremely satisfied with our experience with Nieuw Amsterdams Huys. From the first contact, the interaction was very pleasant: friendly, professional and always quick in communication. What struck us most was the transparent way of working. We were well informed about all steps in the process, a pleasant collaboration.

We are pleased with the service that Nieuw Amsterdam House provided during the sale of our beautiful apartment. We were immediately impressed by the professionalism and personal approach. Bas advised us well on the sales strategy and the right price proposal, which resulted in a quick sale of our house at a good price. The entire process went very smoothly and clearly. We were kept well informed of the progress, and we could always count on a quick response to questions. Thanks to Nieuw Amsterdam House, the sale was not only fast but also absolutely worry-free!

New Amsterdam House is a very expert, pleasant real estate agency where I have had excellent experiences. A mediator that I can recommend to everyone. Proactive, accessible, discrete and diplomatic when desired. Moreover......affordable. Johan Dijkstra.

Professionals!! We had a great experience with Willem and the team. Don't think twice! Highly recommended!

We have had very positive experiences with Willem Schilder; he provided excellent advice and support with a good result, the purchase of a home that is excellently suited to us.

Very nice to work with Bart; expert, good advice and space and fitting with our own approach. Feeling like talking to someone genuinely interested, not a broker with smooth talk and all 💰💰 Many thanks! and sold well and quickly!

Last year we rented and sold our house through Sem Makelaars. Very nice team, they are really on top of things. They think along about everything, communication always went smoothly and you really get the feeling that your house is in good hands! Highly recommended!

Pleasant company, the company information is up to date. They are located at Linnaeus’ hof. Parking costs €5 per hour.

Super good and fast assistance for my new house by SEM Real Estate! Clearly discussed the possibilities and wishes in advance and then were able to bid purposefully on a few homes that really matched my search profile. I found my real estate agent very knowledgeable and strategic. She gave me the feeling from beginning to end that it would work out, investigated everything down to the details for properties that had good prospects and also protected me from overbidding. I am truly very happy with the choice of this real estate agent!

Nice, efficient and small brokerage team. They deploy their expertise flexibly within the team to achieve the best possible result.

Very good experience with SEM brokers. Expert team, easily accessible and very involved. They have a realistic view of the market, think along about everything and really ensure that you can sell your house well.

SEM Realty was well informed about the supply in the area and the current market. People with knowledge and experience. Very professional, but still very accessible.

We are incredibly happy with the entire sales process. The journey went smoothly and we could always turn to someone with questions. Bart is a true professional with extensive experience and a specialist in Amsterdam. He sold our house quickly; we recommend him to everyone!

My purchasing broker Willem Schilder is a nice guy with good contacts with other brokers. He gave a reasoned estimate of the house I left behind. The bidding advice he gave for my new home was quite high, but it's an idiotic market currently and I wanted it. I feel sympathetically advised, that’s the most important thing.

We have known SEM (Willem) for several years and they also helped us with the purchase of our current home. Willem and his team are skilled, fast and easy to talk to and exchange ideas with. Thank you Willem and team

Super good and fast assistance for my new house by SEM Real Estate! Discussed the possibilities and wishes clearly beforehand and then were able to bid purposefully on a few homes that really matched my search profile. I found my real estate agent very knowledgeable and strategic. She gave me the feeling from beginning to end that it would work out, researched everything down to the details for properties that had good prospects and also protected me from going too far with bids. I am truly very happy with …

Selling your home involves a lot. Fortunately, we had the guidance of SEM real estate agents, who guided and helped us with everything. Big thanks to Bart! He is very professional and very experienced. This has ensured that we are very happy with the sale and would definitely recommend Bart!

Well assisted with the purchase of our house in Weesp. Real estate agent with knowledge of the subject. Definitely recommended.

SEM are the ideal partner for a homebuyer, with a deep knowledge of the market and highly professional, pro-active staff to keep the process focussed. I was delighted by their attention to detail and personal attention to my case. Highly recommended.

Recently, Bart from SEM Real Estate sold our apartment. We are incredibly happy with the entire sales process. The journey went smoothly and we could always turn to him with questions. Bart is a true professional with extensive experience and a specialist in Amsterdam. He sold our house quickly; we recommend him to everyone!

As an expat, the thought of buying a home here in NL seemed like a utopia. The unprecedented level of demand and bidding culture in Amsterdam seemed daunting. But luckily I found Demi at SEM. From day one, Demi welcomed me to the SEM family and understood my requirements/preferences for the type of property. She advised on the areas I should be looking at based on my budget, and set up alerts to send me properties that fit the bill. Regarding viewings, Demi was brilliant and asked the right questions for me, clearly knowing her field inside and out. When it was time to bid, Demi advised what would be competitive, and was spot on with her valuations, where I came second on the first property I bid on, and then won the second one. Once I was successful, the help didn't stop, far from it. As I had no contacts in the industry, Demi introduced me to notaries and surveyors, organized meetings for me and explained what and why was needed. As a non-Dutch speaker, Demi was incredibly patient with me. She walked through contracts with me, checked dates and calculations to make sure everything was correct. Until the day I got the keys, she came to the signing session. It is no exaggeration to say that I would have been completely lost without Demi and SEM. The chance is absolutely nil that I’m sitting with my feet up in my own living room writing this. For all the expertise, quick responses, ice-cold negotiations and for guiding me through the process, step by step and day after day, thank you

The contact with the real estate agent was very personal and professional. The contact was frequent, consultation was pleasant and collaboration experienced as excellent. I would definitely work with this real estate agent again and certainly recommend them as a good ''business partner''.

We were helped professionally and with great service during the sale of the house. For this neighborhood, Miranda is the perfect real estate agent. She knows the area inside and out. In addition, Miranda also saved us a lot of time with various ancillary matters, so we didn't have to be present every time.

I can't mention any negative points. It was a short and relaxed sales process. I would like to suffice with this, but apparently have to type at least 100 characters.

The contact with the real estate agent was excellent. Also, the attention to detail and knowledge of the area & market were exceptional.

This is the 3rd time I've collaborated with Vlindermolen and Miranda has never disappointed me. She is always super professional and honest. She always does good research into the specific local market so that there is always a realistic plan in place. With her drive and enthusiasm, she always achieves the optimal result.

I have had an incredibly good experience with Miranda as our purchasing agent! From the very first moment, she exuded professionalism and offered a personal, high-quality service. Thanks to her decisiveness and sharp eye, the entire process felt smooth and organized, despite the challenges of the current housing market. Miranda knew exactly what I was looking for and always kept me one step ahead. No question remained unanswered, and she constantly thought along with us. Her personal approach and extensive knowledge of the market gave us enormous confidence. Thanks to her guidance, I now live in my dream house! I wholeheartedly recommend Miranda to anyone looking for a professional, involved and expert purchasing agent. Thank you again so much, Miranda!

Thank you Miranda! We would like to thank you tremendously for your fantastic guidance during the purchasing process. Your professional and high-quality service not only helped us enormously, but also showed how valuable a buyer's agent can be. From the very first moment we knew that we were in good hands. With your decisiveness, knowledge of the market, and personal approach, you precisely understood what we were looking for and always kept us one step ahead in a …

Vlindermolen Real Estate knows the neighborhood better than anyone else. I was very charmed by the recommendations that were made to prepare the house for sale. I didn't get the feeling that a real estate agent was at work either, more like a good friend. I can recommend Vlindermolen Real Estate to everyone.

After a less positive experience with another real estate agent, I decided to switch to Vlindermolen Real Estate Agency, and I absolutely have no regrets about that. They really put everything into selling my house quickly – and they even succeeded on the same day it came onto the market! What I especially liked was how well they know the Nieuw-West and Badhoevedorp region. They know exactly what's going on and how to best sell a house there. But honestly? I think they can pull this off in any neighborhood, as professional and sharp as they are. The contact was also super pleasant. They were always available, ready for all my questions, and arranged everything down to the last detail. It really felt like I didn't have to worry about anything, because they were on top of everything. In short, if you’re looking for a real estate agent who knows what they are doing, thinks along with you, and completely relieves your burden, then Vlindermolen Real Estate Agency is the right choice. I would recommend them to everyone!

Miranda and Pino are great real estate agents; with their help, we bought the first house we bid on. They were expert, professional, helpful, and available at every step. We couldn't have wished for more.

Contact was very pleasant. Miranda is a particularly kind woman who understands the subject matter. She assisted us very well and has been very involved. Nice experience to have done this together ✅ An asset to Nieuw-Sloten.

From day one of the introduction to sale, it felt good and familiar. Miranda thinks along, gives advice and is always available. She is genuine, expert and reliable. We are very happy that she was our real estate agent during the sale of our house.

Miranda is a superb real estate agent. She helped us both with the purchase and sale of our house, and we are very satisfied. Miranda is professional and engaged and knows well what's going on.

Butterfly Mill Real Estate Agency is the best realtor I know. Skilled, positive and do everything to sell your house as well as possible for a fair price. No talk, but actions you can expect here.

Miranda is a very pleasant and super professional real estate agent. She knows exactly what's going on and can provide good advice regarding the purchase and sale of houses. Miranda is accessible, assertive, expert, and committed. An absolute recommendation!

Thanks to Miranda, we found the house of our dreams! skilled and prepared!! Always ready for genuine advice! Thanks to her, we never had doubts or fears!

Contact with the real estate agent was very good. They were easily accessible, even on weekends and evenings when we had questions. The brokerage fee is of course already fixed as a certain percentage of the sale price. The higher the yield, the higher the brokerage fee, plus the costs incurred by third parties (such as photography). This is already stated in the offer, so there is no misunderstanding about it. Furthermore, the result of the sale was above expectations, so all praise for the real estate agent.

From the beginning, the contact was good. They were clear and honest about everything. You can go to them for all questions. Steur real estate agent is definitely recommended.

Everything went smoothly and we received immediate answers to our questions. This applied both by phone or email

Pleasant experience with Steur real estate agents. Expert and accurate assistance led to a quick sale at a good price!

All my expectations have been met. The real estate agent knew a lot, gave good advice, communicated well and was always available.

It went exactly as we had expected, we are very satisfied with Michel, I can recommend him to everyone

Our realtor Michel de Haan perfectly guided us on all fronts. So I can recommend Steur Makelaars to everyone. In short, a solid 10 👌🏼

Helpful and friendly service. Good advice. Everything arranged neatly and properly. Good reception. Also kept up-to-date via email.

It was all very well organized; we are very satisfied with everything they did regarding the sale of our house.

Everything well explained and kept informed of everything, very clear and friendly. Good service also for renting out a property.

We asked Michel de Haan, from Steur Makelaars Volendam, to sell our house because we already had good experiences with this real estate agent. This has been confirmed not only by the sale of Warder 77 in Warder, but especially by the expertise, the constant feedback and the insight of Michel de Haan. In short, a recommendation for everyone who plans to put a property up for sale. Thank you very much and greetings from Warder 77, Thea and Will Lendfers

Very familiar with the local market. Pleasant contact with the real estate agent and employees. Quick response to all questions.

Take the time for the customer. Are always reachable. Help to make everything clear and look up additional information where necessary.

We were very happy with you all, it felt familiar and also easy to get in touch with, everything was clearly explained too... overall very satisfied 😃

We definitely recommend Steur Makelaars. We were very well assisted, good communication and the sales process went very smoothly.

We are very satisfied with how it was arranged by Steur Makelaars. Staff very customer-friendly. Thank you for this.

Everything is arranged perfectly and handled very quickly. Also, we could immediately contact them with all our questions.

Philippe and Bruce van de Graaf & Groot Makelaars guided us in the purchase of our house. They immediately got off to a flying start after an introduction, offering excellent support and being very flexible. Thanks to this excellent service, we were able to buy our house within a few months. Definitely recommended if you want an involved and honest real estate agent!

The contact was pleasant. We received answers to the questions we asked. The agent was goal-oriented and communicated efficiently. However, a relatively expensive agent.

Excellent guidance from Bruce in both the purchase of my new home and the sale of my old home. Highly recommended!

De Graaf & Groot Makelaars is an excellent, very professional and genuinely involved real estate agent. I fully agree with all the other positive opinions: An absolute recommendation.

My experience with this real estate agent was disappointing. They attempted to sell the property without contacting me beforehand. During a court hearing, it was ultimately decided to remove this real estate agent from the sale. I found their attitude clearly biased, which resulted in me being disadvantageously treated and excluded in an unpleasant way. This seemed partly due to influence from a co-owner, whereby the real estate agent appeared to align with their interests in an opportunistic and easygoing manner. In my opinion, this behavior is in conflict with the rules of the NVM. I therefore cannot recommend this real estate agent.

Skilled and friendly.

Working with Philippe and Sarah from De Graaf & Groot Makelaars was a fantastic experience. They understood our neighbourhood well and knew how to effectively showcase the best aspects of our home during a sale. They were professional, prompt, and thorough. We couldn't have asked for better partners to sell our home and would gladly recommend and work with them again.

De Graaf en Groot helped me perfectly. They sent me a selection of apartments daily that met my wish list. Ultimately, they found the perfect apartment. We went to view it together. They guided me very well in making an offer and then provided perfect handling afterwards. They were always available. If it didn't work out by phone, I would receive a WhatsApp message or be called back later. An absolute recommendation.

Excellent guidance from Bruce van de Graaf and Groot Makelaars. Expert advice on pricing and preparing the house for sale.

They helped us through the entire complex process of buying a house. They took care of everything and relieved us of every form of stress. Always friendly and professional. Highly recommended

And then comes the day you're going to sell your house, something you don't do that often. Invited several real estate agents. Emilie and Eppo had done their homework, were prepared and ultimately more than delivered!!! Professional and businesslike as it should be in my opinion. Thanks again!

Although the sale of my house experienced some bumps in the road due to circumstances, it was brought to a good end thanks to the knowledge and decisiveness of De Graaf & Goot Makelaars. Everyone is happy and open to repeating this with a potential next move. Jan Ebbinge

We are very satisfied with De Graaf and Groot Makelaars. As an agency, they handle the process from beginning to end very carefully, professionally and adequately. Philippe advised and assisted us excellently in this regard. Sharp and decisive, he acts based on a dose of experience.

Philippe and his team have supported us through three transactions over the past twelve years. Each time, they’ve been consistently professional, dependable, and insightful. Philippe is honest and hardworking, always prepared with well-researched advice and thoughtful counsel. His diligence and integrity have been instrumental in helping us make informed decisions with confidence.

We were guided through our purchase by Philippe. Absolutely top-notch. They really know the market inside and out, having a large network due to their long experience in AMS to strike successfully at the right moment. What I also greatly appreciated is that Philippe is extremely critical of every property we viewed, without any push to buy and do business quickly; on the contrary, they had all the patience with us during the many viewings we requested. Last but not le...

Very professional office, knows what's happening in the market and is therefore right in the middle of it. Above all, always easily accessible!
