All brokers in Woerdense Verlaat

Arie-Jan van Klaveren from Holland West Real Estate has excellently guided us both in the purchase of our new home and in the sale of our old home. The contact was always helpful, pleasant, and professional.

I rented an apartment from them in Leiden until June 2025. It has now been three months since I left the apartment and I have not yet received my deposit back, even though the contract stated that it would be returned within two months of departure. When reading these reviews, it is clear that I am definitely not the only one with this problem... shame on Holland West for not learning from this and still withholding people's money without reason.

Clear agreements and excellent communication. Well guided from start to finish with room for interim consultations.

I chose the realtor on a friend's recommendation. The realtor fulfilled all predictions, he reacts quickly, is knowledgeable, and represents you as the selling party very well. The property was sold extremely fast, within 2 weeks. Hail to him!

What a warm welcome at the office of Holland West and an informative sales consultation. The knowledge of the local real estate market tipped the scales in favor of choosing this realtor. After our instruction, our home was listed on Funda with good photos and a detailed description. Showings were discussed well in advance with us, and communication after visits from potential buyers was pleasant and direct. At every stage of the sale, explanations were clear and straightforward. D…

I am extremely satisfied with the guidance provided by Holland West both during the sale of my old home and the purchase of my new house. From the first contact, it felt familiar. My wishes were listened to carefully, and I received honest and expert advice at every stage of the process. What I value most is that they truly thought along with me. Not only about the right sales strategy but also in finding a new home that suits me. Communication was smooth and swift; I was always kept informed and could rely on them for all my questions. Thanks to their professional approach and personal touch, everything went smoothly and stress-free. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend this real estate agent to everyone looking to buy or sell a house. A top team that knows its business!

Excellent real estate agent.

The real estate agent reacted very arrogantly when the keys were handed over. Rented a property for 1.5 years but never listened to our problems. Treated the new tenant differently than he had treated us. We had to clean everything ourselves, but the new tenant received a cleaner which we had to pay for. We had delivered the apartment clean, but the real estate agent still felt compelled to make a remark about whether we had ever cleaned here at all, very unprofessional and unsocial with regard to the new tenant. (It was also simply clean) We do not recommend this real estate agent!

The realtor was considerate and helpful. It was an emotional sale because the owner had passed away. The realtor helped get the three owners on the same line, which was very pleasant.

Very pleasantly surprised with this very knowledgeable realtor. All compliments to Len who guided us through the entire process. Always a quick response to our questions.

Good and easy contact and very expert. Can certainly recommend Holland West when selling a house.

Avoid them in a package with NVG, save yourself money and your nerves. I can't believe that such scandalous agencies exist in the Netherlands.

Expertise, genuinely think along with you and Holland West is very service-oriented. Pleasant and direct communication. Always a quick response. Reliable, clear and realistic indication given. Conclusion, very satisfied with the smooth and complete sales process of Holland West Real Estate!

STAY AWAY! NVG and their brokers (Holland West Makelaardij) are the definition of unprofessional. I stayed in a 'luxury' apartment on Verbeekstraat in Leiden for 3 months in the fall of 2024 (to work at the hospital). After 2.5 months, I finally received my deposit back and can finally say what I want. Here are my reasons to stay far away from them. - The apartments are considered 'luxury', with a price of €1850 per month for an apartment of approximately 60 m2, as well as 2 months' rent as a deposit. (I’ll come back to that). The standard is the cheapest of the cheap when it comes to kitchenware and furniture. It's absolutely okay, just not 'luxury'. - My contract was supposed to start on Saturday, but after the end of the contract, I was told that I had to be in Leiden on Friday because their office is closed on Saturdays. I therefore had to change my flight to meet them at a fixed time on Friday, but when I arrived, there was no one to greet me. After several phone calls to Holland West, I was told that the person who inspected the apartment had been there the day before, and I received a code for the key box to let myself in. I saw a PDF via email with all the photos taken by this person (there are already many scratches/scratches on the walls, so it is difficult to notice everything, but this seemed well documented). - Upon arrival, the apartment smelled of sewage (with the odor coming from the shower). This would fluctuate, but never disappear. To file a complaint, call a service number (at a MINIMUM charge of €100) or send an email (free). I sent emails to both NVG and HW. HW was 'understanding' and also forwarded my emails to NVG, while NVG ignored this as 'natural' and stopped responding when I sent new emails complaining and asking someone to inspect the bathroom. I bought several air fresheners to survive there and spent as little time as possible in the apartment. - Outside of my first week, it was around 20 degrees, but then it got colder and I realized that the radiators couldn't be turned on. I heard from others that they had to be switched on centrally, and when I complained about this, it took 2 weeks for them to be turned on. I used a jacket indoors for those 2 weeks. - The noise level between the apartments was insane. You could clearly hear children screaming, people fighting, and other nighttime activities as if the neighbors were standing right next to you. - The hallways (and the ventilation system in the apartment) smelled of garbage, and the garbage flowed into the entrance of the building. - The contract is a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 6 months. You are not allowed to request another date, but as the expiration date approaches, they ask if you want to extend, for a small fee of €250. It doesn't matter if it’s 1 day longer or 3 months. I refused and stayed in a hotel for the last few days before planning to go home. - Upon check-out, someone was indeed present! She took many photos and found scratches on a wall in the bedroom that I had never touched, but I could not document at check-in that this was okay, and therefore charged me for 'repainting'. Based on the rest of the walls, I doubt they actually paint. - The deposit would be returned “within 2 months after termination of the agreement,” minus cleaning costs (€300!) and the “repainting.” After a month, I complained and was told to be patient, referring to the contract. A week after 2 months, I sent an angry email to both NVG and HW, and they both apologized. NVG stated: 'Your deposit has been placed in the next payment run.' Ultimately, the money was refunded after 2.5 months, what a relief! SUMMARY - The apartments are real, the standard is generally terrible, and the sewage smell in my apartment was awful. Their business model is to get as much money as possible from foreign tenants, in the most unprofessional way. NVG leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and Holland West should terminate the collaboration immediately.

DO NOT RENT HERE!! They will try every possible way to keep your deposit, despite having nothing to report at checkout... After they left the accommodation, they kept the deposit for 5 months, despite the contract obliging them to return it after two months... Furthermore, the apartment is poorly maintained with many furniture items in bad condition or broken, do not rent here...

A pleasant realtor to work with. They reliably keep their appointments and work securely.

You are bombarded with bills as soon as you want to leave your rental property (€2500). Things like a floor and extractor fan that you took over from the previous resident they just give away to the next resident, for which I had to pay €300 myself. The owner of this calls eventually and says that I supposedly said verbally that it could be given away for free, which is of course completely untrue since I had to borrow money from others to be able to pay all the ''fines''. Also, I literally have everything in email stating that this remains for takeover. As a single tenant, you no longer have any chance of saving nowadays but van Scherpenzeel doesn't care about that. Despite having everything in black and white, they still go by what you supposedly said verbally, which I would never say anyway since I desperately needed that money after all the bills I received from them. Afterwards, the owner raises his voice and says that you are lying. So I could whistle for my money. Never been so ripped off by a so-called professional company. Never do business with this company, pocket fillers!

Great realtor! We are very satisfied with the process, communication and information during the sale of our house.

Clear information provision, they are easily accessible. If they are not accessible, you will be quickly called back. Everything is neatly and quickly arranged!

Contact was good, good knowledge of the subject matter, fast service, and the open day went very well, recommend this real estate agent

We were excellently helped with the sale of our house. When we needed advice, it was neatly answered. All appointments were kept. The communication was excellent; we were always kept directly and kindly informed. When the buyer requested an extension of the financing deadline, the real estate agent immediately took action and called the buyer's broker. The financing still worked out just in time. Very nice.

Good contact with Paul, honest and transparent communication. Also received good guidance throughout the entire process. Many thanks!

We were well assisted by Paul and Karel; they kept us well informed throughout the entire process, and advised us well.

Contact with the real estate agent was formidable from the very beginning. Attention to the case, advice to me as the customer and everything else were excellent. 100% recommendable. F.H.G. Weber

Very unprofessional. Exploiting their customers

Very bad experience with this broker. Poor service

Bad realtor, appointments are not kept and they are very lax in their way of communicating, furthermore, no attention is paid to what the client has to say or offer. In short, don't do it!

We had a pleasant contact with Good real estate agent. Partly thanks to their expert guidance, our house sold quickly!

We engaged GOED Makelaardij because we had received good reports from our children. GOED Makelaardij helped us both with the purchase of a new home and with the sale of our current home. They did this excellently. We were well guided through the purchasing process and, thanks to their expertise, we were able to make a good decision in a market that was not familiar to us. Their expertise in the sale ensured that we in a…

Excellent service with a genuine village atmosphere, always ready to help when you call.

First shift

With the help of Wouter, I purchased my first home. A lovely place in the center of Lisse with a beautiful garden on the southeast. Thanks to his expert advice, it was a great purchase. Wouter has a background in construction, which allows him to provide very broad advice. Huge thanks to Wouter!

We were foreign migrants and knew absolutely nothing about buying a house, but our broker politely and kindly walked us through the process of buying. Contact was very quick and information reliable. I would definitely recommend this broker.
