All brokers in Zaandam

Contact and correspondence with the realtor went very well. Perhaps they were even a bit too critical, but it certainly prevents any possible nagging at the end. In short, thanks for the guidance.

We had invited three different real estate agents for the sale of our apartment, including Linda van Steijn & Steijn Makelaars. Of the three, she was best prepared for our meeting. Her approach appealed to us immediately: clear, without fuss and to the point. The communication always ran quickly, clearly and friendly, and the handling was also pleasant and professional until the end. In short: we look back very satisfied on the cooperation!

Linda advised us excellently and accompanied the entire sales process with utmost care. She is very reliable and transparent. We received a concise but thorough report after each viewing, which kept us involved from afar. I would advise everyone to let Steijn and Steijn real estate handle their sale.

Excellent contact, always reachable. Extensive research beforehand and advice, allowing them to make a winning bid.

The contact and working method with realtor Steijn were very pleasant and as a result, we were completely relieved of worries. Everything went perfectly, so highly recommended for others who want to sell their house.

Very pleasant and fast. Thought along enormously and really relieved us during the sale of the apartment. Pleasant person and excellent service

Edy guided us in selling our house and what a pleasant collaboration it was. She is a very skilled professional real estate agent, with good knowledge of the market. She is easily accessible and responded quickly to all our questions. We received extensive reports on the viewings. She goes that extra mile compared to other agents. In short, when selling your house, you are in good hands with Steijn en Steijn!

A fine honest realtor who has a heart for her clients but remains fair to both parties. Very expert and friendly in communication.

Nice approach with good knowledge. The personal contact was warm and professional. I don't have much experience with other real estate agents, but working with Linda was neat and good.

Linda Steijn is a well-prepared, alert communicator and capable broker. Very pleasant and easy to work with.

Linda sold our house and purchased the new house. Linda is very accurate, researches everything to the smallest detail, and she is very honest. We have worked together very pleasantly. Truly a recommendation for everyone!

Linda, charming, wise, intelligent.

I have collaborated with Steijn & Steijn Makelaars several times before. The contact is always pleasant, the brokers are always easily accessible. In short, 'a good collaboration'.

Absolutely top broker. Lots of attention. Good advice. The right guidance. Very detailed reporting of viewings. Clear explanation of all documents. Nothing but praise.

Edy was and is a very pleasant agent to work with to achieve the goals needed when selling a home. She maintains good contact and points out the things that still need to be done. Furthermore, Edy is a friendly and warm person who is good at her job! The same applies to her sister whom she works with. So buying or selling a house? Steijn en Steijn Badhoevedorp😉

They are two lovely ladies who are almost always reachable, and otherwise will quickly get in touch. Reliable and good advice and deliver what they promise.

Through Koops real estate agency, Yannick was my point of contact. Yannick is very kind, respectful and highly knowledgeable. It couldn't have gone better. Thank you.

One of our preferred partners. Great apartment. Great agents. Always a pleasure to work with!

I am extremely satisfied with the sale of my apartment by Koops Makelaardij. From the first moment, I felt in good hands. They have excellent knowledge of the Amsterdam housing market and gave me good advice on the best sales strategy. What I particularly appreciated were the short lines via telephone, whatsapp or email. Due to these short lines, the sales process proceeded very smoothly and transparently. In addition, I was very impressed with the professional presentation of my apartment. The video, photos, and sales text were of high quality and gave a good picture of the property. This certainly also contributed to the quick sale. In short, I can wholeheartedly recommend Koops Makelaardij to anyone who wants to sell their home.

Great experience with Jasper as a real estate agent. Always very professional and pleasant contact! I can wholeheartedly recommend Koops Makelaardij and Jasper as a reliable party.

Great advice and service!

My property rented out in no time through Koops, tenant and landlord happy. Good, clear & efficient service.

We had a great experience with Jasper. He was friendly and responded quickly to all our questions. He made the stressful process of finding an apartment in Amsterdam enjoyable and supported us every step of the way. I can wholeheartedly recommend him and Koops Makelaardij if you want to rent an apartment in Amsterdam.

I had a great experience with Koops Makelaardij! Very professional and efficient in finding a rental property. Jasper was from the beginning very professional and also very helpful with a great and friendly attitude! All in all a great experience!

Great experience with Koops and our realtor Yannick. As expats, it was very helpful to receive excellent support not only in renting out our house, but also in understanding all the details and nuances of Dutch legislation and procedures. We are very happy that we chose Koops and we would recommend it to anyone who is renting out their home.

My personal experience is very bad and I will not recommend them personally. In my case, we found their approach inappropriate when we contested that they charged us a substantial amount upon check-out without any discussion or agreement with us, stating the reason for the house not being clean. However, no such important remark was made during the check-out inspection. The house was thoroughly cleaned. Upon check-in, they sent an inspection report stating that everything was clean. However, there were many places where it wasn't clean and we mentioned this in the check-in report, but we felt that this was not taken into account at check-out. At check-out, our deposit was not refunded within a month. Ultimately, after multiple reminders when it was eventually refunded, high cleaning costs were charged, while in our opinion the house was sufficiently clean and handed over cleaner than upon check-in. When we pointed out that the check-in report mentioned that the house wasn't completely clean, this was not taken into account. We felt terrible about the experience and felt it didn’t add up. I certainly will not recommend them.

Personally a very bad experience and absolutely recommended. They charged us a hefty cleaning fee at check-out, while in our opinion the house was thoroughly cleaned. It wasn't transparent and there were no discussions or agreements made with us about it. The deposit was refunded after the agreed term of one month, after deduction of a high charge. That came as a big shock to us, because there were no significant remarks about the cleanliness of the house at check-out. Moreover, upon check-in we mentioned several points about the fact that the house was not thoroughly cleaned, which were not taken into account at check-out. My experience was extremely bad; we found the behavior of their employees inappropriate, unprofessional and non-transparent. Let's say: be careful and definitely never do this again.

I was quite in a hurry to rent out my apartment. I had already been talking with another real estate agent, but unfortunately, he didn't call back each time, so I called Koops Makelaardij because of a tip from my neighbor. She was right that it could go very quickly. Within 2 weeks, I had an introductory meeting, the photographer came, it was online, there were viewings, and I had a very suitable tenant. Thank you for the smooth process of everything; everything went very professionally, both towards me and towards my tenant, and I think everyone is content now. Thanks Jasper!

Very good experience with Koops Real Estate Agency. An initial conversation with Amber, who unfortunately found another challenge. At least, we thought we would find this a pity...but her successor Jasper exceeded our expectations. Jasper proactively thinks along, gives good and well-supported advice and responds very quickly to every possible question. In this way, we were completely relieved of worries. Based on our experiences, we can wholeheartedly recommend Jasper and Koops Real Estate Agency.

Pleasant company to work with, quickly provide suitable candidates and viewings for rental.

An apartment found through Koops Makelaardij. Jasper arranged the viewing and communication, showed professionalism and skill throughout the entire process and made sure that everything went smoothly. A real recommendation.

My partner and I had a great experience with Koops Makelaardij Amsterdam. Especially with Charlotte, the realtor. The apartment that was offered through Koops Makelaardij was a perfect addition for my partner and me. Charlotte supported us from the beginning in a friendly, helpful, and professional manner. All questions were answered quickly and professionally. Charlotte made sure to help us as well as possible, did not make promises, but remained optimistic. In the future, we would consider Koops Makelaardij and Charlotte for professional advice and collaboration. Thank you very much!

I am very satisfied with the support and guidance I received from Julius throughout the entire process of finding and buying my house. His clarity, patience and dedication made each step easier and gave me real confidence in my decisions. I am very grateful for his help and greatly appreciate the professionalism he has shown throughout this journey.

Last year my studio was sold. Super friendly service from the boys at Wester Makelaars. Both sale, transfer and handling went smoothly. Good and easy contact. I would recommend it 100%.

A nice house found for both daughters with the help of Julius and Jesper. Nice cooperation, it made the search process pleasant. They respond quickly to questions and give an honest opinion! A recommendation!

I am extremely satisfied with Jesper and his team. Expertise and extensive knowledge of the local housing market and perfect guidance throughout the entire sales process. I would always choose Wester makelaars again!

Ik ben echt tevreden met de ondersteuning en begeleiding die ik heb gekregen van Wester Makelaars (en met name Julius) gedurende het hele proces van het vinden en kopen van mijn huis. Zijn duidelijkheid, geduld en toewijding maakten iedere stap makkelijker en gaven me echt vertrouwen in mijn beslissingen. Ik ben werkelijk dankbaar voor zijn hulp en waarder het zeer professionele gedrag dat hij meebracht op deze reis.

Jesper and his team are great! Approachable, knowledgeable, helpful and very nice. I would recommend them to everyone, they have a very pleasant way of communicating and collaborating when selling or buying your house in Amsterdam.

I would recommend Wester real estate agents to everyone. They are very accessible and highly knowledgeable. In the madness of the Amsterdam market, they keep their head cool, take you by the hand and let the process flow smoothly.

We have given Wester Makelaars the task to carry out an appraisal for the purchase of a new home. We were very satisfied with the result. The appraisal report is clear and easy to read. Hayley has helped us a lot by constantly sending emails with information about the entire process and asking if everything was clear.

Julius and Jesper have supported me excellently throughout my entire purchasing process. They were very knowledgeable, transparent, and accessible, always taking the time to clearly explain every step. Their quick response capability and excellent judgment gave me confidence in every decision. I can wholeheartedly recommend Wester Makelaars to everyone looking for a reliable and professional real estate agency.

Julius and Jesper provided exceptional support throughout my home-buying journey. They were highly knowledgeable, transparent, and approachable, always taking the time to explain each step clearly. Their responsiveness and excellent judgment gave me confidence in every decision. I would highly recommend Wester Makelaars to anyone looking for a reliable and professional property agency.

Great experience and I can only recommend them. They helped me efficiently with the valuation of my home.

Jesper and Julius have helped us tremendously with the purchase of our house. Very accessible, clear in communication, take you seriously regarding what is or is not possible, and listen well to your wishes. The personal attention and support is very pleasant. I would definitely recommend Wester.

Had a great experience with Wester Real Estate. They think along well, are friendly and really involved in the entire process from A to Z. I would recommend them to everyone.

My experience with Julius and the entire team at Wester Real Estate exceeded my expectations! Julius was friendly, knowledgeable, and had an incredible eye for detail and intuition throughout the whole process. His advice was perfect and ensured that the whole search was smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend Wester Real Estate and especially Julius to anyone looking for a new home. Thank you!

Wester Real Estate has appraised our new apartment. This happened very quickly and professionally. Thanks!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Wester Makelaars for buying a house, especially for expats, because they are truly fantastic at guiding this process. The team, and especially my realtor Julius, did everything in their power to help me find my own home, despite the extra time I had, which certainly didn't make it any easier. They work incredibly hard, are knowledgeable, and go above and beyond to help you find your dream home. Thanks to them, I got mine within no time, and I am extremely grateful for that. Thank you Julius, thank you Wester Makelaars!

It was very pleasant working with both Julius and Jesper; they know exactly what they are talking about and think of things that you might easily overlook yourself. They also have handy contacts, which made the entire process after the purchase smooth and without too much stress.

I was extremely well assisted by Aron when purchasing a house and definitely recommend starting the search with Plantage Makelaars!!! It's very nice that they go along to viewings, that they actively think with you, they listen well to your wishes and you get good and honest advice. Aron has a lot of knowledge and is easily accessible for consultation. Definitely recommend :)

Aron was very dedicated to selling our apartment in Amsterdam, despite the challenging circumstances and a tight deadline. He really worked hard to find a good buyer for us and we are very satisfied with the result.

I had the best experience with De Plantage Makelaars with Aron. As an expat buying my very first house, I couldn't have wished for a better real estate agent to guide me through the process. Aron is extremely professional, honest and always has his clients' best interests at heart. What I valued the most is that he's straightforward: if a property isn't a good deal, he'll let you know immediately. He is also incredibly proactive and responds quickly, answering every question, doubt or fear almost instantly. Buying a house can be stressful, but with Aron by my side I felt supported and confident at every step. He's really the best in town. On the day that I decide to sell this house or buy another one, I already know I'll be back with him - without hesitation. A real recommendation!!!

I have tried for a year to buy a house in Amsterdam. When I switched to De Plantage Makelaars, it worked for me to buy a house within a few viewings. Great service.

We sold our house in Aalsmeer through Aron and are very satisfied with the cooperation. From the first contact, his personal approach and expertise were immediately noticeable. Aron was always easy to reach and thought actively along. What we especially value is the personal attention, he knew not only the house but really our situation and wishes. That made the entire sales process pleasant and relaxed. In short: professional, involved, friendly and reliable. We wholeheartedly recommend Aron to anyone looking for a real estate agent who works with genuine attention.

Aron is literally the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. He works quickly, is very commercial and is always ready to answer questions and provide support. He sold our house and helped us sell it without any problems while exceeding our expectations. Anyone who is wondering whom to go into business with should choose Aron.

Aron helped us both with the purchase of a new house and the sale of our apartment. He is resourceful, knowledgeable, and friendly, which made our cooperation and communication smooth and easy. He responds quickly and easily connects us with all the professionals we needed during the buying and selling process. Aron and the people he works with did fantastic work and helped us act quickly, ensuring that every step of the process was handled swiftly and professionally. We greatly appreciated his direct, transparent, and honest communication and are naturally very happy that he helped us buy our beautiful new home.

Aron just does things differently. Aron helped us with the sale of our house in Haarlem (this was our third house, so we've seen a few real estate agents already). Everything from start to finish was perfect. Aron gives himself 200% all the time. He helped us sell our house after moving abroad, completely remotely. What could have been a stressful experience was exactly the opposite. The communication is excellent and he secured a very high overbid for us in no time. Aron is very creative and a fresh perspective on the Dutch real estate landscape.

As foreigners who bought a house in Amsterdam, the process initially seemed overwhelming, but Aron made it simple and clear. From day one he guided us step by step and patiently and professionally explained every detail of the Dutch real estate process. He was always available for our questions, gave valuable advice and ensured that we felt confident and well-informed at every stage. His excellent network of lawyers, mortgage advisors and other brokers made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Professional, reliable and genuinely committed to his clients. Thanks to his dedication, everything went smoothly, from our first viewing to the final signature. A real recommendation.

Aron sold our apartment and fully met all expectations you can have as a seller, and more! We were taken care of by him in every respect, and he even helped with several matters that weren't directly related to the sale. A real go-getter with a no-nonsense mentality, therefore. We would definitely work with Aron again for a next purchase or sale!

Aron was great to work with. He knows the market incredibly well and helped me enormously throughout the entire process, from beginning to end, making my life a lot easier. Moreover, he loves his job, and you can see that in the personal connection he builds with all of his clients. He was just as happy as I was when we found the apartment I wanted, and his positivity and optimism throughout the whole process are the greatest added value you can have! A real recommendation!

Aaron is very pleasant to work with and we really relied on his advice and negotiations. What I especially appreciate is his expertise, not only in the field of real estate, but also in construction quality, which was enormously useful when viewing homes. He was initially recommended to us by a colleague, and we are hugely grateful to him for that :)

I worked with Aron! He was enormously helpful and honest during the house search. He is very reliable and has great expertise. As an expat, he made the whole process very easy for me, explained all the steps, and was extra careful! I can wholeheartedly recommend him!

We had a fantastic experience with Aron in finding our dream house in Amsterdam. We had quite specific requirements regarding our budget, which can be difficult with the options available here. However, Aron helped us find our dream house by navigating this tricky market with his expertise. He also has experience with home renovation, so it was helpful to attend viewings and hear his opinion on average costs should we want to renovate or have ideas about how the space could be transformed. He is very motivated and remained fully engaged with us throughout the 7-month process that we found our house. We cannot recommend Aron enough - he is one of the best!

I can highly recommend Aron and De Plantage Makelaars. As a first time buyer he took me through the process step by step and made me feel informed and secure when making decisions.

Thanks to Aron, we have our first dream house! He helped us tremendously, actively thought along with us and was always honest in his advice. Thanks to his guidance, you won't make hasty choices, but will buy something that is really worth it!

We had a fantastic experience with our purchase agent, Aron. During our six-month search, he was always up to date on everything: punctual, proactive and very organized. His good relationships with other agents made the process smoother and he always arranged viewings quickly and followed up on the details. And most importantly: his smart negotiation strategy helped us secure a wonderful home. Aron's professionalism and dedication gave us confidence at every step. Thank you very much, Aron, for your unconditional support and guidance - we are extremely grateful!

Tim is a 'just be normal and that's crazy enough in the housing market' broker. Knows what's happening in the market, gives good and clear advice and explanation about the purchase procedure and charges a very acceptable commission. And besides his expertise, he is also a pleasant person to do business with.

Tim is a sober, practical and realistic realtor. He advised and assisted us optimally in the sale of our house.

An agent who is always reachable and keeps his appointments promptly, calls back as quickly as possible too, And if you have questions that cannot be answered immediately, you will receive an answer as soon as possible.

TWM effectively helped me to purchase a lovely apartment. They were so helpful and responsive and throughout the journey, which was so confusing at the beginning, they were beside me and smoothly guided me through all steps. Without their help it wasn't possible. I'm thankful and happy to work together with TWM

Good, efficient handling of the appraisal. Customer-friendly settlement and fast!

Patience professional competent thinking along with towards the possibilities in the long term and listening to the environment messages market

Excellent experience! Good price indication, accurate, beautiful presentation and shows a lot of involvement. Very nice. Highly recommended!

Expert and smooth guidance and handling. Took a lot of work off our hands as heirs during the sale. Absolutely reliable!

I'm not the type to leave bad reviews, and I already feel guilty about this, but I hope I can prevent someone else from experiencing the same situation. I will go into more detail below, but briefly: poor advice from TWM has cost me at least €50,000, and the situation is still ongoing. I engaged TWM in 2021 to help me with purchasing a house. If I had written a review then, it would have received 5 stars. The real estate agent I worked with was exceptionally helpful and communicative. As an expat, I felt very reassured. Ultimately, I started looking for properties in the Zaanstad area. TWM informed me that this wasn't their primary working area, but that they could help me here without a problem. Houses in Zaanstad of a certain age are known to require foundation repairs, and it was made clear to me from the beginning that I couldn’t afford foundation repairs and therefore had to avoid buying a house where this was needed. Eventually, I found a property nearby that I really liked... but the house was slightly tilted, which again pointed to foundation problems. I raised this with the real estate agent, who said there was no particular reason for concern, but that a structural survey would give us more clarity. The structural survey was carried out by an inspector recommended by the real estate agent. In the report, he stated that there didn't appear to be any specific reasons for concern regarding the foundation; the house was naturally tilted, but he hadn’t noticed anything abnormal. He also indicated that a specific foundation report could tell us more, but he didn't deem it necessary. I contacted the real estate agent again and asked for reassurance about the foundation issue. Again, I was told there was no reason for concern. I asked the real estate agent about a suitable offer on the house, and he approved the bid I wanted to make, as it was a good offer. Everything went well, I bought the house and moved in. Subsequently, my situation unexpectedly changed and by the end of 2023, it became clear that I would be moving out of the Netherlands. I knew the timeframe would be quite short, so I hoped I would break even with the sale of the house. I contacted TWM again to arrange the sale, as I had previously had such positive experiences with them. Then it became clear that the advice they gave me when purchasing the house was poor. As soon as we tried to sell the house, every potential buyer mentioned problems with the foundation. What was 'no problem' became the reason why nobody wanted to buy the house... and since I only lived in it for two years (November 2021-November 2023), I can hardly imagine that the foundation has deteriorated from 'no cause for concern, perfectly normal' to 'REQUIRES IMMEDIATE RENOVATION' in such a short time. As of this writing, I have had the house on the market for €50,000 less than what I paid for it, and I still can’t get an offer at that amount. This is the minimum amount I can accept and with which I can repay the mortgage; if it's lower, I still have to pay the mortgage. Because TWM seemed so serious and sincere otherwise (hence I still give 2 stars instead of 1), I would like to believe that this was an honest mistake. I’ve spoken with several other real estate agents, and those who did NOT live in Zaanstad seemed to agree with TWM. On paper, they thought the house should be able to be sold for this price without problems. Only a local real estate agent in Zaanstad told me something different. So I suspect that’s because they don’t know the area, and there was no malicious intent involved. That being said, I made the purchase and bid on their recommendation, and hired them to ensure I would pay a fair price, as I don't understand real estate. And I can’t say it was anything other than a failure on their part, even if the mistake was honest. This has derailed my life, and the only loss that TWM suffers is the time it takes to sell the house. That time is probably still covered by their share of the generous offer I initially made on the house, according to their recommendation.

Fast appraisal, thorough investigation

We are extremely satisfied with the speed and good communication with which all assignments were executed.

Our agent, Wesley, always gave us great and honest advice and helped us in every step of the process. We highly recommend this agency.

Valuation for purchase went great!

This is the third time when we worked with TVM, specifically with Wesley. Choosing them another time is the best proof of our opinion about this company. We received continous support, comprehensive guidance and expertise. These are the people who go beyond to achieve the best results for you. I am really happy to recommend TVM !
