Thanks to Rick's expert advice, we were able to sell our houseboat in a pleasant way.
Rick & Hans helped us well with the sale of my father's houseboat. They are expert, know what is involved in selling (and buying) a houseboat. Rick & Hans respond very quickly and do not have a 9-5 mentality, are adequate, and think along with you well. A nice combination of professionalism and empathy. Thank you for your involvement, & honest advice, we enjoyed working with you.
Professional, personal, prompt. Thanks Rick, for expert and honest advice. With personal attention, without unnecessary fuss. Excellent service during the sale in August 2023, and previously during the purchase in 2019. Highly recommended! Jan from Amsterdam.
Very fast sale of our houseboat achieved at a fantastic price. Excellent guidance received from Rick Willemsen. It's clear that Hans and Rick Willemsen are also houseboat residents. By far the best houseboat brokers with real expertise. Highly recommended.
We were very well, honestly and involved assisted by Rick in the sale of my father's ark. Thank you for everything. Esther and Bob
Good information and expert staff
Extremely satisfied with AWN real estate agency! I would advise everyone who wants to buy or sell a houseboat/floating home to go into business with this company. Our houseboat was initially for sale through another party about which we were not satisfied. We switched to AWN and immediately they took our care and all practical matters out of our hands. The sale was quickly picked up and completed, during which time we were largely relieved of worries. This was very pleasant for us. Selling a houseboat also requires specific expertise that was present with Rick and Hans. Definitely a plus point!
Very satisfied with the sale of my houseboat through AWN. Thorough preparation, realistic sales pricing and good communication. Excellent service and contact when needed. Commission is considerable but earned back by the skilled broker.
In October 2021 we contacted them to sell our ark. Rick and Hans are really very nice so everything seemed fine. Around February the ark was for sale. It started with delays because we were not satisfied with the photos. From that moment on, things actually became increasingly difficult. The added value of Rick as a broker is small. He does what he has to do but never comes up with an idea or initiative. We tried to discuss this with them but without result. Ultimately, we received a phone call that he would give us another broker. The timing was dramatic for us. Within an hour the ark disappeared from Funda while it used to take days to change something online. From first hand we have learned that interested parties, who had previously seen the ark online and made contact with them about it, were not helped further. Really scandalous! Ultimately, our ark was sold a month later, note that via a rental broker. We advise everyone not to go into business with AWN, especially now that the sales market is slightly more difficult, you have nothing from a broker who works like this!
Again, had a very pleasant collaboration with Rick, a highly motivated and skilled professional who relieves you of many worries during the purchase/sale of a houseboat/ark definitely worth it!
Very good broker! Specific expertise in the field of houseboat present. Takes care of you regularly
Top broker, AWN is expert, friendly and accurate. Specialized in houseboat. Thank you for the pleasant collaboration.
Hans and Rick helped me very pleasantly and well with the sale of my houseboat. They are expert, know what is involved in selling (and buying) a houseboat. Because they both work on the files, and you can always call them, you have quick contact with them. This was the most important thing for me. George G.
Great, good service
Hans goes beyond being a broker for the seller. He ensures that no value is lost for buyer and seller and is a source of valuable information for life on the water.
Hans Willemsen recently assisted us with high-quality and professional advice. We highly recommend this realtor!
We have been searching for 2 years for the perfect houseboat under the inspiring leadership of Rick Willemse. Thanks to him, we found a beautiful ship. I would recommend everyone to always take a purchasing broker when buying an ark or ship and then call Rick directly! He has done so much for us and is very skilled, patient and very kind. He really invested a lot of time and energy in realizing our dream. We were/are very happy with him. Thank you Rick!
Best coffee ice cream
Rick Willemsen is a very nice realtor! Super friendly, keeps you well informed, almost always reachable and gives good, sound advice. He really guides you through the entire sales process, so through all the terrible paperwork and the incredibly large and difficult decisions. Very happy with him. So, top!
Very satisfied with the service and the result!
I got to know Hans Willemsen as an honest person who acts professionally and can and wants to act quickly and adequately. What he has done for me is genuinely impressive. Due to circumstances, a ship had to be resold quickly. I was able to provide the assignment from abroad. Two weeks later, we were at the notary's office, and everyone there was extremely satisfied with what was achieved. I haven’t met his son Rick yet, but I know he also put a lot of work into this deal(s). It is simply amazing when you place an emergency/urgent sale order from South America and the ship in question is sold fairly and well within two weeks.
The man isn't honest; everything he sells is great, but when he has to assess an ark that a customer of his wants to buy, he criticizes everything to lower the price so he can get a pat on the head. Ugh.
For the sale of our recreational houseboat, we engaged AWN Makelaar (Real Estate Agent). From the initial request for a non-binding contact to discuss the sale to the end of the sales process, we experienced the sale through AWN as very pleasant. The communication is excellent with both Hans and Rick. They are fully committed to the sale and provide good advice. Due to the fact that they are houseboat enthusiasts, they have extraordinary knowledge in this area. They know how to properly excite interested parties. No viewing was too much for them and they are almost always available at times when an interested party wanted to view our houseboat. AWN guided the sale for us at a market-conform price for which they performed many tasks. We can therefore wholeheartedly recommend AWN for the sale of a houseboat.
After inviting three houseboat brokers regarding the sale of my houseboat, I chose AWN Makelaardij. Hans and Rick Willemsen are very professional when it comes to houseboats! What stood out to me during the sales process is that Hans and Rick, in addition to having a lot of knowledge about houseboats, are very involved! A nice combination of professionalism and empathy!
Hans Willemsen is a dedicated real estate agent; he helped me fantastically. If you want to buy a houseboat, you should definitely contact him.
During and after the sale of my houseboat, I have had a lot to do with Hans Willemsen. He is reliable, expert, punctual, keeps his appointments and is also just a pleasant person. Most important, however, is naturally that he does what you hire a real estate agent for, namely ensuring that a purchase or sale is carried out. And in that Hans always succeeds! In short: I would wholeheartedly recommend AWN.
I do not take this broker seriously, requests for information are not answered.
We made a good choice in choosing Hans Willemsen as a real estate agent for the sale of our houseboat, where we have lived for more than forty years. Hans sensed that this would be a somewhat difficult and emotional sale. Hans thinks along, comes up with solutions, gives good advice and monitors the sales process. If you want to engage a real estate agent for the sale of your houseboat, AWN is recommended.
Hans was the selling broker, I the buyer. Nevertheless, I benefited a lot from him. Initially, the houseboat I wanted to buy seemed unfeasible, but after some advice from Hans it turned out to be possible. That is of course in the interest of the buyer, but was also in my interest. Excellent broker whom I wholeheartedly recommend.
