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 am not the type of person who leaves bad reviews, and I even feel bad doing this now, but I hope to spare someone else from my situation. I will go into more detail below, but in short: poor advice from TWM has cost me at least €50,000, and the situation is still ongoing. I hired TWM to help me buy a house in 2021. If I had written a review then, it would have been 5 stars. The agent I worked with was extremely helpful and communicative. As an expat, I felt very reassured. Ultimately, I started looking in the Zaanstad area. TWM let me know that this wasn't their primary working area, but that it wouldn’t be a problem to help me find something there. Houses in Zaanstad of a certain age are known to require foundation repairs, and it was made very clear from the start that I could NOT afford foundation repairs, and therefore had to avoid buying a house where this was needed. Ultimately, I found a property nearby that I really liked... but the house was slightly tilted, which again indicated foundation problems. I raised this with the agent, who said there was no special reason for concern, but that a technical survey would certainly reveal this. The technical inspection was carried out by an inspector recommended by the agency. In the report, he stated that there didn't seem to be any particular reason for concern within the foundation; that the house was obviously tilted, but he noted nothing abnormal. He also indicated that a specific foundation report could tell us more, but that he did not deem it necessary. I contacted the agent again and asked to be sure about the foundation problem. Again, I was told there was no reason for concern. I asked the agent about a suitable offer on the house, and he approved the offer I wanted to make and said it was a good offer on the house. Everything went well, I bought the house and moved in. Afterwards, 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 was quite short, so I just hoped to break even when selling the house. I contacted TWM again to handle the sale, because I had such a positive experience with them previously. Then it became clear that the advice they gave me when buying the house was poor. As soon as we started selling the house, every potential buyer mentioned fundamental concerns. What was 'no problem' became the reason why nobody wanted to buy the house... and since I have only lived in the house for 2 years (November 2021 - November 2023), I can hardly believe that the foundation has deteriorated from 'no reason for concern, perfectly normal' to 'IMMEDIATE RENOVATION REQUIRED' in such a short time. As of the moment I am writing this, the house is for sale for €50,000 less than what I paid, and I still cannot get an offer for that amount. This is the minimum amount I can accept and pay off the mortgage; lower, and I will still be making mortgage payments. Because TWM seemed so serious and sincere otherwise (this is why I still give them 2 stars instead of 1), I would like to believe this was an honest mistake. I spoke with several other real estate agencies, and those who did NOT live in Zaanstad seemed to agree with TWM. On paper, they felt the house should be able to sell without problems for that price. Only a local Zaanstad agent told me otherwise. So I suspect this is a case where they don't know the local area, and nothing malicious. That said, I made the purchase and offer based on their recommendation, and hired them to ensure I paid a fair price, as I have no real estate knowledge. And I can only say that it was a failure on their part, even if the mistake was honest. This has derailed my life, and the only loss TWM suffers is the time it takes to sell the property. That is probably still covered by their discount on the generous offer I initially made on the house, based on 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!

We are very satisfied with TWM real estate agency. Everything went as wished. The high reviews really do check out! We didn't have any prior experiences with realtors and found this company via the internet. We can wholeheartedly recommend Edith and her team! The process was very smooth, and we received professional advice. Especially, the process also proceeded without too much stress. This is not a given in the current housing market.

Very nice realtor to work with! We have already had 2 appraisals done by Tim and that was done very well and expertly. The report was ready quickly and very complete.

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 !

A realtor who listens well to you regarding the appeal factor of the property and isn't price-driven to market the property correctly, which has accelerated the sale.

Wesley from TWM was very patient and kind with us throughout our year long search for our first home. I can’t thank him enough! He helped us in any way in our journey by asking the right questions from us, sharing honest opinions, sharing many tips, and more.

Very knowledgeable and provides great service. Helpful in organizing everything that we needed help with.

Barry understood our wishes from the very first meeting. He made the home buying process smooth and stress-free, partly thanks to his extensive network. He is incredibly responsive, available, and attentive during communication. We love our new apartment, and that's thanks to him.

We are incredibly pleased with Barry as our buyer's agent. In just 6 years, he has helped us purchase 2 homes in the Amsterdam region. His over 20 years of experience as a certified real estate agent shines through in everything he does. What truly sets Barry apart is his incredible network. He seems to know everyone in Amsterdam, Amstelveen and surrounding areas. This gives his clients a real advantage in this competitive market. Barry is always patient, attentive, and goes above and beyond to ensure that his clients find their dream home. His personal approach and attention to detail are truly exceptional. We are incredibly grateful for his excellent guidance throughout our entire purchasing process. Whether you are a local or an expat looking to move or invest, we cannot recommend Barry enough. If you need a buyer's agent in Amsterdam, don't look any further: Barry is certainly the right choice!

I cannot recommend Barry highly enough to anyone looking to buy an apartment in and around Amsterdam in the current market. He is simply superb. Within 2 weeks, we found a perfect place that exceeded our expectations. This would have been impossible without Barry's expert guidance and extremely professional and helpful attitude. Communication with Barry was seamless. He is exceptionally personable and tailors his guidance precisely to what you are looking for, whether it concerns location, type of property or price range. His knowledge and network are enormous and he offers candid advice to prevent 'overly emotional' decisions that you may later regret. The entire process was a pleasure, especially thanks to Barry’s careful attention and extremely kind character. I would like to speak with anyone considering using Barry to share more about our experiences. In short, if you can convince Barry to help you, don't hesitate and grab him before someone else does. From my experience, you won't regret it. Brendan O'Dwyer

In our search for a good real estate agent in Amsterdam, we were recommended Barry. After an initial conversation, we immediately had confidence in both Barry and Monique. Barry quickly understood what we were looking for after this conversation and also advised us accordingly. Throughout the entire process, Barry was very involved and always open to all of our questions. Even after the offer was accepted, Barry continued to help us with the notary process etc. We are very happy with Barry and Monique and would definitely recommend them to everyone!

We went looking for a new apartment in Amsterdam without extensive preparation and expected a quick victory here. It was anticipated that we would enter a challenging market, where we balanced between making a winning bid and offering something still reasonable enough to justify the mortgage value. It felt like a complete relief to have Barry on board our team, to forget the struggle and leave this to a very experienced professional, and simply enjoy the ride. Premium service pays well, but is every cent more than worth it. Highly recommended and once again greatly appreciated for his help in our life-changing process.

Barry exceptionally helped us find our dream house in Amsterdam. From the beginning, he carefully selected accommodations that met our needs and quickly adjusted his recommendations based on our feedback. Just as we were about to lower our expectations, Barry found a house for us that we truly loved. With his expert guidance on timing and bidding strategy, our first offer was accepted - something we didn't think possible in Amsterdam’s competitive market! Thanks to his proactive approach, everything went quickly and smoothly. We are now happily settled into our house in Amsterdam, which we weren't even sure was feasible. Thank you, Barry, for making the impossible possible! Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home in Amsterdam.

Barry has been very helpful with his recommendations from day 1. Always willing to help and answer all my questions and requests. He is very dedicated and will be honest in his opinion about the houses you visit. If it doesn't suit you, he will let you know. Even when helping with the decision to bid too much, which is quite common in this tight Amsterdam market, he is very aware and will tell you whether or not it is worth making a higher offer. He is extremely reliable, respectful, patient and trustworthy.

Working with Barry when purchasing our house was a piece of cake. I can wholeheartedly recommend him! Barry is super knowledgeable about the Amsterdam housing market, responds quickly and got us our house with the right bid and the right conditions.

Barry's help with the purchase of my first apartment was invaluable. He actively listened to my wishes and made sure he screened all apartments before viewing them, which saved us time and energy. He regularly came up with possibilities before I had seen them online. During viewings, he ensured that he focused on all the small but important technical details so that I could focus on my overall opinion of the apartments. He didn't rush and even postponed the process several times due to details I had overlooked. Ultimately, we found the perfect apartment for me in less than two months. And thanks to his market knowledge and negotiation skills, I got a great apartment at a great price without having to pay transfer tax. Finally, Barry checked all the documents to make sure everything was in order, which was enormously important to me since I don't yet speak Dutch. All in all, I am very happy with Barry and I can wholeheartedly recommend him.

Barry was great to work with! He helped me find my first apartment in Amsterdam, and the whole process went super smoothly. He was quick, efficient, and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. I felt like he genuinely cared about helping me find the right place, not just any place. If you're looking for someone who knows the Amsterdam housing market and offers a personal, no-nonsense service, then Barry is your man!

I would recommend Barry and Monique to anyone who wants to buy a house in Amsterdam! They have extensive knowledge of the housing market and provide excellent advice on your future purchase. We found our house within a month in Amsterdam Oud-West! Thanks again for being such good professionals and even making the purchasing process enjoyable :)

We had a fantastic experience with Barry, the real estate agent who helped us find our new apartment in Amsterdam Oud Zuid. Barry responded incredibly quickly, was knowledgeable and always available to answer our questions. His insights were invaluable, making the purchasing process smooth and stress-free. We are grateful to Barry for his help and highly recommend him due to his exceptional service and professionalism.

Barry has helped us wonderfully in finding our new house! As expats, we were unfamiliar with the local market, but his expertise made the whole process much easier. He guided us through every step, answered all our questions and helped us find the perfect property. Thanks to his professionalism and friendly approach, we felt confident and well supported throughout the entire journey. We wholeheartedly recommend Barry to anyone looking for a good real estate agent. Thank you very much for everything!

We had an exceptional experience working with Barry and Monique on the purchase of our new family home. Professional, attentive and extremely well-informed about the market. We received invaluable advice on what we could offer to secure our dream home. Today, we feel like the happiest family that has found a house in the most unexpected and beautiful location. The process was quick and smooth and every step was clearly explained. It happened in just a few weeks. Some might say it was luck, but it was thanks to Barry, Monique and Maikel. Thanks again team!!!

I really enjoyed working with Barry; he is always friendly and patient enough with me while I explored many neighborhoods before making the final decision to buy a house. I also appreciated his insights into each property we viewed together. Once the decision was made, he ensured that the process went quickly and smoothly. Would definitely work with Barry again!

Had good experiences with Barry. It was a pleasure to work with you and he understood my need for the purchase of the new house. Great knowledge and more than experience in real markets and in real estate, as an expat in Amsterdam it was very new to me. Barry handled it patiently from the first step to the handover of the keys. Efficient way of working and I highly recommend it. :)

Very successful purchase and sale of our house in Amsterdam completed. Frank was always available for our questions. Thank you!

Good contact with Richard! So a recommendation!

The first appointment with Frank felt immediately good; he was well prepared.

The house was sold for a good price and quickly. I can wholeheartedly recommend Scholten Makelaars.

I had a positive experience working with Scholten. They were helpful throughout the process and ultimately helped me achieve the goal I was aiming for. I appreciated their dedication and support. The only small area for improvement would be communication, which could have been a bit more timely and clear at times. Overall, I'm satisfied and would recommend their services.

Excellent market knowledge, which has led to a quick sale for a great selling price. Can wholeheartedly recommend Schoiten Realty.

Thank you for the sale of our private house. Everything went smoothly. Desiree requested all documentation in a timely manner, which meant the sale proceeded very smoothly because everything was complete. The property was sold within 2 weeks. Maaike followed up well and was clear and transparent. I would definitely recommend Damstad.

Excellent service and quick sale! We are extremely satisfied with the services of Maaike van Damstad. From the very first contact, she exuded professionalism and commitment. She gave clear advice, communicated quickly, and kept us well informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to her decisive approach and knowledge of the market, our house was sold incredibly fast. Maaike combines a friendly and personal approach with a clear strategy, which, as far as we are concerned, makes her a top real estate agent. A true recommendation for everyone who wants to sell their home with peace of mind!

Maurizio from DAMSTAD guided us both during the sale and purchase and he couldn't have done it better. Knowledge of the market, professionalism and very pleasant to deal with. Truly a support and confidant during these, somewhat exciting, processes. His partner Maaike is cut from the same cloth as well, so highly recommended.

Maurizio and the team at Damstad were exceptionally helpful and professional in the sale of my home. His proposed approach was clear and realistic. He was very patient and understanding, as I had no experience selling a property in the Netherlands. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Maurizio and his team did fantastic work in the sale of my home. They were professional and communicated clearly. I can wholeheartedly recommend Damstad.

Perfect helped with the sale of my house

We received expert advice, guidance and support when selling our apartment.

One of the best in Amsterdam, if not THE best! Top service provided by a professional, accurate, reliable and friendly team. Highly recommended!

Really well assisted by Damstad Makelaars! Always fast and friendly contact, and everything was arranged super smoothly and neatly. They thought along well and were easily accessible for questions. A very pleasant experience from beginning to end. Definitely recommended!

Maurizio guided us very pleasantly around the sale of our apartment with a lot of professional knowledge, explanation, pleasure and (in our case) the necessary flexibility. The support at the office was always easy to reach as well. We would certainly recommend them!

Had a very pleasant collaboration with Maurizio in the sale of my apartment. He is very knowledgeable and helped me well with a difficult leasehold issue. Good and fast communication. In short: very satisfied!

We are extremely satisfied with the excellent service of Damstad. Maurizio helped us wonderfully from start to finish with the sale of our house. They are professional, know the market, and always available for questions. Thanks to the expertise of Damstad, we sold our apartment in Amsterdam very quickly and were able to achieve a good selling price. We wholeheartedly recommend this real estate agency!

I am extremely satisfied with the service provided by Damstad during the sale of my house in Amsterdam. Maurizio and Marlous guided me excellently throughout the entire process, completely took care of everything for me and were always ready to answer questions. The real estate agents from Damstad really have knowledge of the market and knew exactly how to present my home optimally. Thanks to their strategy and approach, my house was sold quickly and at an excellent price. I can wholeheartedly recommend Damstad to anyone looking for a committed and professional party for the sale of a property in Amsterdam!

Maurizio is very kind, clear, skilled and communicative. The sale of our house proceeded smoothly and in a pleasant atmosphere. Support from the office was also excellent. Highly recommended as a real estate agent.

My experience with Damstad Makelaardij and especially with Maaike Huesmann has really been very pleasant! Very knowledgeable, good advice, helpful, patient, always friendly (even the back office) and they more than keep their appointments😊 A very nice team to work successfully with in this special and quite tricky housing market🍾🥂🧡

Maaike and the team from Damstad guided us incredibly well during the sale of our house. Their service is client-focused, with a lot of market knowledge, and they have very pleasant communication. The viewings themselves were well prepared, and during the viewing days, ample attention was given to every interested party. After each viewing, we were fully informed about who had visited and an assessment of the degree of serious interest. The final negotiation...

Floris helped us wonderfully with the purchase of our home!

Sander from VK Makelaars excellently helped and guided us with the purchase of our new home. He keeps the lines open, steps in where needed, and gives excellent advice. No nonsense, no false promises, and always honest and realistic throughout the entire process. Absolutely recommended.

Sander was very helpful during the whole process, always available and gave good advice. I'm very happy with my new house

Mandy has been an exceptional real estate agent throughout our home-buying journey. From the very beginning, she demonstrated her dedication by always being available to address our questions and alleviate any doubts we had. Her prompt and clear responses reflected not only her professionalism but also her genuine commitment to ensuring a smooth experience for us. One of the things me and Marianna truly appreciated about Mandy was her proactive and reactive approach. No matter …

Poor communication and a lack of solution-oriented approach. Our appointment was allegedly cancelled, but I never received an email about this at the usual email address where all contact took place, including the appointment confirmation. It was also claimed that an SMS had been sent, but it cannot be found anywhere. When I expressed my disappointment to Omid and tried to find out where things went wrong, I was told they didn't want to investigate this and that I was simply unlucky. No effort to find a solution. Very disappointing experience, absolutely not recommended!

We are very happy with choosing VK Makelaars. Our agent Mandy was very proactive, helpful, patient and always there for us. We have been struggling for several months with other agencies and were not happy with their approach to our needs. After getting Mandy onboard we found a perfect place within a month from our first talk over phone. We highly recommend VK Makelaar and especially Mandy!

We would wholeheartedly recommend Omid and his team at VK! Omid was our Purchasing Broker and thanks to all his efforts, we are today the proud owners of our dream home. As immigrants, our knowledge and experience with Dutch laws and practices were not as thorough as everyone else's. He was present at every step, from viewing houses, to assessing homes, to submitting bids, to signing at the notary and key handover and more. He always made sure that every detail was explained, however small or insignificant, so we never felt like we were in the dark or uninformed. He advised us not only as our broker, but also as a friend and benefactor. There were certain moments when he went above and beyond what was expected and we greatly appreciate all his efforts. He truly finds happiness in the satisfaction of their clients. We would gladly work with him again in the future! We also had the opportunity to work with Floris for a Valuer project. He is very well informed about the local Amsterdam market, is honest, direct and thorough in evaluations and would definitely recommend him for both Valuers and Broker. He introduced us to Omid as well, so thank you very much for that!

Incredibly well helped by Floris! He gives clear and good advice, has a lot of knowledge and can quickly switch gears. Very satisfied with the service!

Sander was an excellent professional and guided me seamlessly through the entire purchasing process. Very happy with the house I bought with his help!

Floris helped us tremendously! As a beginner with no understanding of the housing market, he ensured that we could see the forest for the trees. I really appreciated having someone by our side during such a process who you can truly trust. He was very accessible and always gave an honest and realistic answer. That meant we always knew what to expect. In addition, he is also just a very empathetic guy who genuinely wants the best for you. For us, he definitely made all the difference in this exciting process!

I was helped by Mandy from VK Makelaars for the purchase of the property. She helped me throughout the process, from helping me organise viewings, to helping me set up all the administration needed to purchase a property. As a non Dutch speaker and someone new to the Netherlands this was extremely helpful and I would thoroughly recommend the service provided by Mandy and the team at VK Makelaars

My experience with Sander was very positive and I also referred him to a friend of mine. He knows the market very well and can provide good advice. It was very useful as a first buyer.

Sander fantastically helped me find a place in Amsterdam. He listened to all my wishes and took the time to point out defects during viewings that I would never have thought of otherwise. He made sure I felt comfortable and understood the next steps throughout the entire purchasing process. Everything, from finding a house, viewing, bidding, and ultimately signing, was done very professionally and clearly. Highly recommended!

I wholeheartedly recommend Floris and the team of VK Makelaars. Floris is very skilled, responds quickly, and is involved with his clients, which you don't often see. He always goes the extra mile, which makes a big difference in the results. So stop searching if you are looking for a good real estate agent!

My experience with Sander was very positive and I've also referred him to a friend of mine. He's very knowledgeable about the market and can advise well. I placed only a bid and I won it, the process was quick.

Floris and VK real estate agents are great guys and a fantastic office. Always super quick to help with appraisals or other questions. Very friendly and collegiate among colleagues.
