Unreliable realtor. Doesn't keep appointments and 1 star is actually too much. Unfortunately, I cannot respond to the reaction of the owner below and wanted to leave it at the bad review, but the response below asks for some clarification, so here’s what happened: - Tel Krop sold a house via bidding - We had the winning bid - Written confirmation from Monique Krop. List of movable assets shared. Notary confirmed. - The notary prepared the documents for the transfer - The party that had offered less in the bidding process still wanted to offer more, while we already had confirmation of the purchase and the documents were with the notary. We were offered a compensation if we would withdraw, because we were formally the buyers. - Ultimately went with the other buyer anyway, without compensating us. Not only ethically very questionable, but also illegal. I think it speaks for itself that you should stay as far away from Monique Krop as possible.

Monique Krop, the real estate agent serving us, is a real professional. She's a master in communication, who eases your nerves at moments you need it. She takes full responsibility for all that comes along with buying a house. She understands her profession, the people in the field and her clients. Because this isn't something you do each day, it feels great to know you can let go. She's there at all the important moments, calm and confident. I wouldn't recommend anyone else! …

With patience and a lot of expertise, I was very well helped!! Highly recommended.

I have now dealt with Monique Krop of Tel Krop makelaars 3 times: 2 sales and 1 purchase. In all situations, I was very expertly assisted and advised. Quick, efficient, direct contact and personally also very pleasant. I can wholeheartedly recommend her (and her office)!

Monique was the perfect purchasing agent for us! Pleasant communication and she guided us very nicely from the moment of viewing to the final key transfer. The aftercare is also experienced as very pleasant.

We received valuable advice on the asking price to be set. A very good photographer was engaged for preparing the property for sale. No hassle regarding questions and viewings outside office hours. And extensive aftercare after the sale. A real estate agent you can build and trust!! Highly recommended.

Nice office to work with

We are very satisfied with the work carried out, the support, the advice and the overall assistance we received from Monique Krop of Tel Krop Makelaars. In addition to this expertise, Monique is a pleasant person to work with and she clearly knows the market very well. We certainly recommend Tel Krop.

Monique helped us tremendously with the sale. Her advice was good and the sale proceeded very quickly and efficiently. She is knowledgeable and knows the market and its players well. I can wholeheartedly recommend her.

Excellent service, friendly and professional. Quick response to questions and proactively offers ideas.

Besides concepts such as friendly, attentive, assertive, expert, I admire the way she helped me make the right decision. Moreover, I admire her perseverance.

We experienced excellent market expertise and very friendly and professional service. Recommendable without reservations.

Monique guided the entire sales process kindly and professionally. There was a lot of interest in the house, which she managed well and gave me expert advice.

With knowledge of the market and supply, this broker can flexibly respond to changing circumstances. Which means the end result is better than what you yourself can come up with.

Asking 4.000 euros because the white paint doesn't match the magnolia-colored paint underneath the holes in the photos, and then retaining the full advance payment, is the kind of shady practice that gives brokers a bad name. Avoid this at all costs.

0 stars, 1 star would be generous. Moved to a recently renovated apartment on the Eerste van der Helststraat in Amsterdam. No internet. In the 21st century. Had to contact them to get the builder back to dig out the walls to find and connect the cable. Great start. Next; leak in the toilet ceiling. Every time someone showered upstairs. Had to contact them for repair. When I dared to ask a builder to take a look myself, I was put in my place and told that they had to decide whether they would incur damage or if I would do it myself. Yes, I flooded my own ceiling?! It's clear I decided I did, because 1.5 years later it still hasn’t been repaired. Nice shower room…impractically designed. No shower door, so water goes everywhere. The door wasn’t painted with the right paint, peeling off, swollen and the wood is rotting. Contacted them. An ‘assessor’ came out. Then nothing. What's next? Oh yes, the apartment upstairs is being renovated. After a particularly heavy rainstorm you wake up at 05:00 am with brown water steaming along the bedroom walls. Mad dash to save the furniture. I informed the bureau, but had to contact the builders myself to carry out the repair upstairs to prevent my apartment from being further destroyed. Bedroom unusable for 3 days while I dried it out, having to sleep on the couch. Sent several emails with photos and video, no response. Ceilings and walls are brown in color and are frankly disgusting. Heard a strange noise in the kitchen next week. Another leak from the ceiling. Enough water to fill a bucket. Managed to grab the builder and he repaired it. But not before my kitchen wall got a lovely moisture level. Sent another email with photos and videos, absolutely no response. Let's not forget that the builders don’t lay dust sheets or protect the area. The entire staircase was filled with cement dust and the navy blue carpet turned white. You can’t walk down the stairs without getting stains on your clothes. Emailed about this and then received a reply…that it would be cleaned when the work was finished. So in 4 months. Do you want us to live in this asthma-hazard for four months?! Another agent picked up the same message and sent a cleaning round (which only vacuumed the carpet, the staircase walls are still sticky and filthy). How could I forget the poor ventilation. Every time someone cooks downstairs, smokes or even farts, my apartment smells like it. Seriously, my friend has asthma, so the cigarette smell really affects him, it's stifling. Told them about this. They did…absolutely nothing. Well, Mr. Assessor came again, which led to more nothing. Had a realtor when renting this place, she also tried to contact them and was ignored. Had reviews that she wrote and left on Facebook and Google removed, which they will probably try to do with these as well. Oh, and don’t bother calling, they never answer and then don't call back. At this point I think they are screening calls. Although they knowingly ignored me, they managed to inform me via email of a rent increase during the last two leaks. So someone works there! Why don’t they respond? I can only speculate that it is because they may be obliged to inform the owner of the building about such problems and the costs they incur, so it's better to ignore this and feign the happiness of the tenant?! I suspect they will try to postpone the repair and do it at the same time and fit and paint the upper floor so that the costs can be masked and included in the renovation costs. Just my suspicion. How would you describe this? Mismanagement seems like an understatement. I’m living with rotting walls and mold enough to cry out loud! And the rent isn't cheap, let's call it premium prices. They clearly don’t care about the properties they manage or the conditions for the people who live in them. Amsterdam is a fast market, they can re-rent within a few hours. It's clear that they only care about their money. Whatever this level of unprofessionalism is called, it’s completely disgusting and I would like to ask everyone to seriously consider allowing these clowns to rent out or lease their properties.

It was a good help! Keep it up 👍 …

David and lenders Frank and Leon, these guys just cost us €65,000… do you absolutely NOT trust them?

We are very satisfied with HVMS. Both with the internal service/office and with the deployment and guidance of the broker.

From beginning to end, they helped us with every step in the sale of our house. The sales process began with a comprehensive valuation, during which we viewed our house together and realistic expectations were discussed. They arranged for professional photos to put our house in the best possible spotlight. They kept us continuously informed of all developments and feedback from potential buyers. Within a short time, we received multiple bids and thanks to their expertise and negotiation skills, we ultimately accepted a fantastic offer!

Incredibly helpful during the search for a new home. They really think along with you and are ready to assist!

Friendly staff who think along with you and give advice.

Very well assisted. Very attentive employee, especially during the viewing we were immediately welcomed very nicely. My wife and I were impressed by this company. Their goal is not only to sell a house but also to think along and ensure that you find the right house.

Very well assisted with the purchase of our beautiful home. Quick contact and clear arrangements. Recommended!

Very good and personal service, I was able to address all my questions and received quick help and guidance through the process. Highly recommended!

On Funda we need to see that the property we bid on has been sold, after phone contact the answer was 'sorry we forgot to call you', very unprofessional

Well-deserved 1 star for appalling customer service. 5 messages sent via email and funda with a question about a commercial property. Literally 0% response. If only a yes or no had been answered, you wouldn't have received this 1 star. You were already warned, because I retracted a previous 1-star review, as you did respond to that one... All in all, this won't be retracted and I am very disappointed, because I made considerable effort to get in contact. Furthermore, you could have earned thousands of euros from me if I had been able to rent that particular property temporarily. Apparently not enough income for a response. Peak realtor arrogance, that’s how it feels. And 1 star, this feels like!

In my entire life I've never come across a company like this. They are not really professional from David and Frank regarding the mortgage, very bad.

Once bought a house from HVMS. The real estate agent pleased us better than other selling agents. Therefore, 8 years later, we decided to also engage HVMS for the sale of the same house. We didn't even ask other agents for quotes. Should we ever move again, we would use HVMS again, even if we don't live near the Zaanstreek.

Great help with finding and buying our first house! David was critically good and helped us map out what was important to us.

Linuccia Bakker from HVMS guided us in a professional and accessible manner during the sale of our apartment. She thinks along, communicates clearly, and acts quickly. Pleasant contact and smooth handling. Definitely recommended!

Good communication and a nice team. Would definitely recommend them. They were also always on time and think along well.

The real estate agent could beforehand create a good and realistic picture of what we could expect. The viewings were quickly scheduled and there was clear communication beforehand when these were scheduled. In short: we are very satisfied!!

For this milestone, I have been mentally preparing for 4 years. With the help of Kelvin, everything went smoothly and easily, with minimal stressors. A real recommendation realtor!! Thanks again Kelvin❤️

From the initial contact to the sale, Kelvin was very involved. He is approachable, knows exactly what he's talking about and helps you wherever he can!

Great guy who understands a lot. A pleasant and quick man, not such a standard quality as a realtor.

Kelvin helped us well with the sale of our apartment! He was able to advise us well and helped us with everything that came with it.

During the intake everything went smoothly and I immediately got a good picture of what I could expect. The specific market knowledge proved to be very useful!

Kelvin van Groen real estate agents helped us very well with the sale of our house. The conversations beforehand were pleasant and everything was settled quickly. We also found it very nice that good attention was paid to our wishes. The communication was also direct and quick, which I greatly appreciate.

Very poor communication (e.g., forgetting to send emails, return calls) and does not honor appointments. Must constantly call for updates. As a result, we as buyers do not feel taken seriously. This prevented us from making a serious offer. This is disadvantageous to both the selling party and a potential buyer.

From the first conversation to the final sale, I had a pleasant experience. Clear, direct communication and follows through on agreements. I can recommend this realtor!

Good and fast communication and very friendly in dealing with people. My apartment was sold within a week.

Hilde was fantastic! She explained the process to us in detail, helped us prepare the house for the photoshoot and viewings, and kept us constantly updated. Ultimately, we are very happy with the offer we received and without her, we wouldn't have been able to do it.

If you are looking for a top real estate agent, then Douwes Makelaardij is recommended. Definitely worth 5 stars. Hilde is very skilled and delivers perfect work. She puts in one hundred percent effort for you. Takes all the time to guide everything properly. Top real estate agent, definitely worth 5 stars.

House for sale? Then Douwes Real Estate Agency is a real recommendation! Had a very pleasant collaboration with this realtor. She is honest, clear and always available for clear information. You can count on this realtor.

Hilde is the person who sells your house! She is amazing at selling the house to people. Out of the 5 viewings, we had 3 offers - if you didn't know it, this is a great ratio. Moreover, all bids were much higher than the asking price - all thanks to Hilde and her sales passion! She is a very in-depth realtor and salesperson. She is able to truly capture and highlight the essence of a house and its added value. We have friends who bought a house through her and another group of friends who are now selling their house through her. 🚀🚀🚀

Reachability and communication are the most important thing when looking for a house with the real estate agent. That went very well with Hilde for us. Absolutely recommended 👍

Hilde is a very involved and passionate real estate agent. She is enormously enthusiastic, skilled, and she enjoys doing her work well for her clients. Hilde really helped us even outside working hours, on weekends or after 6:00 PM, she was always ready for us.

Hilde and I have worked very pleasantly with each other over the past 2 months. She is honest, open and fair. Everything was reviewed in detail. Hilde pays a lot of attention to the property and also does research in the surrounding area. In short, an agent you can trust and delivers what she promises.

Hilde was the ideal real estate agent for us. An eye for all the details of the property but also the surroundings. Hilde has good knowledge of the market situation and is ready with advice and action. She responds very quickly and accurately to questions.

Hilde from Douwe Makelaars has been instrumental and immensely helpful in the purchase of our first home in the Netherlands. She was prompt in her response and friendly, enthusiastic and always available if we had any questions. She regularly followed up during the long process of buying a house to see if any help is needed. Her attention to detail really helped us to understand the purchase contract and make good decisions. We are very thankful to her and highly recommend her.

Hilde helped us very well in the search for our first home. She responded incredibly quickly and we always felt that she was on our team and put our interests first. She made a lot of time for us and was always available and willing to answer all the questions we had during the process (of which we had many!) Hilde is genuinely committed and sincerely invests in what's best for her client!

Hilde has been a very enthusiastic and involved purchasing broker for us. She makes it a party and absolutely gave us priority; from phone calls during her vacation to a personal cake at the notary's office. If you are doing this process for the first time, you can learn a lot from Hilde.

Very pleasant experience with Hilde, she made the process as smooth as possible with detailed explanations. Even when we weren't in the city, we spent hours during a virtual meeting discussing the contract with her.

We had the privilege of engaging Hilde Douwes from Douwes Makelaardij as a buyer's agent for our first home purchase in the Netherlands. Hilde has been quick and available to us throughout the entire process. She is extremely thorough and careful in her approach to official matters and also caring towards her clients. She helped us navigate this complex process smoothly, and having her on our side gave us enormous confidence!! Another major plus point is that she clearly speaks and understands English, which helped us because we don't speak Dutch. She is a definite recommendation!

If you are looking for a fun, enthusiastic and energetic real estate agent who is truly there for YOU, look no further. Douwes Makelaardij helped me in a perfect and caring way with finding a house + additional matters that come with it.

Hilde was very helpful and committed in our search for our first home and we’re very happy that we picked her to do this process with!

Hilde helped us very well in finding our house. She knows what to look for and informed and guided us well in all steps.

Very nice sale. Hilde works very carefully, quickly and has a good feel for people.

What a low-down broker. Throwing unsolicited advertising into the mailbox despite the stickers saying 'no flyers'.. to the resident of..... What a money wolf speculator. Never ever will we do business with these Idiotic Brokers. Stop stop this Filth

Contact with all employees of Prismaat was very engaged and reliable. Cheerful and helpful. A lot of expertise.

Prismaat is without a doubt the best choice I could have made! My experience with the Zaandam team is top! The guidance is professional and pleasant. Plenty of time is taken to help you, and even when things get exciting, they are ready with advice and action.

An excellent real estate agent who will guide you professionally through the sales process. Even in more complex circumstances, no task is too much for the team!

What a worthless company; Prismaat Beverwijk. They advertise with a plot of land for rent, let me come twice to view the site and then don't hear from them anymore. The moment you start asking for information yourself, you are treated like an annoying person who shouldn’t ask too many questions. I wouldn't advise anyone to do business with them!

Nice and professional realtor and willing to do a little more. So people if you want to sell your house go to Makelaar Prismaat

The sales process was clear, fair and ultimately quick, with a beautiful result. The office is easily accessible for questions and acts quickly when requested or needed. They also kept us well informed about the viewings. Very satisfied with Elles de Groot and her team from Prismaat Zaandam. I definitely recommend this real estate agent.

Smooth, fast and very expert guidance in the sale of the house! Wishes were followed up and executed very well.

Well assisted with the valuation of my purchased home!

Prismaat Purchase/Sale Broker! Pleasant contact, good advice, supportive and solution-oriented. Thank you lovely people at Prismaat Zaandam for selling our house in December 2022. This post was initially not posted because I wrote Prima Aankoop/ verkoop....

We were very well assisted by Prismaat Makelaars and are very satisfied with the service we experienced.

Our agent was supportive, well-informed, and clear when speaking with us. She advised us realistically on how to conduct negotiations and helped us successfully find a house we love.

Excellent contact with the real estate agent, gave good advice and tips and kept us well informed of all developments.

This realtor is fake! They list houses on the site and then cancel appointments, while claiming the house has been sold! They are not professionals! Absolutely avoid them! Don't trust these scammers!
