The introduction went smoothly and the first impression of the office was professional. The staff were polite and did what one might generally expect from an agent. Nevertheless, my overall experience was disappointing. The ratio between costs and performance is out of balance: for one of the highest commissions in Groningen, I expected that the service would clearly stand out. That didn’t happen. The initially presented “unique sales strategy” was part of the reason to choose this office specifically, but it changed during the process without compensation either in price or approach. Moreover, my own agent unexpectedly went on vacation halfway through the selling process, making the guidance impersonal and fragmented. Not unimportantly, the final selling price also did not match the forecast. Overall, Van der Houwen does not offer added value that justifies the high costs.

First appointment handled nicely, a search profile was set up and it was indicated that we would try to attend every viewing. We neatly prepared all the documents at home and requested some additional information regarding the contract. In the meantime, we planned some viewings ourselves, but out of 6, they couldn't accommodate us for a single one. This already raised some question marks for us. Ultimately, we planned another viewing together in a nice house. All info was sent. We only had to send IDs afterwards. Then I received a call in the afternoon that they wanted to return the assignment, and that it wasn’t working out with our search profile and that the 2 real estate agents are very busy. I think that's quite remarkable because this search profile was clearly communicated from the start. A shame about the time we put into it.

A superb approach with more than excellent communication, short and clear lines. A top realtor and a real recommendation... we are more than satisfied
