07 Jan 2026We recently sold our home with Jan van Karaktervol Wonen and we are really extremely satisfied. Jan is clear, involved and honest from the first conversation. He keeps the schedule tight under control, reacts quickly and thinks along everywhere. What was especially noticeable is that he really takes the time, both for us as well as for potential buyers. No standard speeches, but genuine interest and business sense. Thanks to Jan the sale went smoothly, clearly and without stress. You can tell from everything that he understands his trade and that he is for your benefit. We therefore also recommend Jan without a doubt to everyone who is looking for a buying or selling agent. Absolutely a top agent.

I had several viewings with the agent where we discussed how well the houses matched my wishes and received tips about the houses and their locations. The agent was always reachable and willing to think along. Buying at an auction remains a feeling of the buyer and what the house is worth to the buyer (how high do you want to bid for more certainty that you will get the house...)

03 Dec 2025There were procedural errors in the setup of the service agreement. The period for drafting and signing the provisional purchase contract took far too long. We did not experience a service-oriented attitude. Rules regarding the move account were incorrectly explained with regard to access and offer logbook. During the 'negotiation', he let the buyer determine and did not use our strong negotiation points.

Furthermore, the agent was straightforward during the purchase process. When we showed interest in a property, they went by the same day to view it…

26 Sep 2025Contact sometimes involved two channels (the real estate agent themselves and with front desk). Sometimes the agent would say one thing over the phone, but then the front desk would say it couldn't be done that way. Upon further inquiry, it turned out that it could indeed be done. This caused some confusion. Room for improvement. But overall quick and professional help!

21 Sep 2025We are disappointed with how the sales process of our home went through Oosting Makelaars Assen. The expectations were high as we consciously chose this office because it is known as one of the best real estate agencies in the region. Unfortunately, that reputation was not upheld for us. The guidance fell far short of what had been promised beforehand. Instead of being taken care of, we had to do a lot ourselves, such as writing the Funda text and other important aspects of the sales process. Ultimately, we largely had to handle the sale ourselves, which is not what you expect from a professional real estate agency. Afterward, I had a conversation with the agent Wouter over a cup of coffee. To my surprise, he stated that everything had gone perfectly fine. That lack of self-reflection and failure to acknowledge how the process was for us, found me disappointing and unfortunately also typical of our cooperation. We had hoped for professional support and personal involvement, but felt left to our own devices most of all. In our opinion, not recommended.

07 Dec 2025Our search for a house lasted eight months, and throughout the entire period Leonie from Huis Makelaardij Drenthe in Assen was our rock in the storm. She walked every step of this journey with us — through the highlights, setbacks, uncertainty and even the challenges we had with the IND for my husband. She kept going one step further and gave everything to help us. Her empathy, kindness and tireless dedication made an overwhelming process much more manageable, and we are incredibly grateful to her. When it was time to make an offer, Alex joined in and did excellent work. As our purchase agent he negotiated fantastically — right up to the very last moment — and managed to close a great deal, enabling us finally to acquire our dream home. Together Leonie and Alex form a great team, but Leonie deserves special recognition because she was by our side from day one, with professionalism, warmth and genuine involvement. We are very grateful to them for everything they have done for us. Words fail us when it comes to recommending them. The service was truly excellent from start to finish. If you're looking for people who stand by your side, think with you and do that extra bit, then Leonie and Alex are exactly the right choice.

27 Dec 2025The purchase and sale of a house begins with a good real estate agent. With Jochem there was an immediate click. No vague story but clarity which gave me the confidence that I was well assisted. What was extra handy for me was the combination with Scherp financial advice. Short lines with Jochem and Laurens. And nice contact also with the other employees of both companies. Still looking for a real estate agent? Call Jochem!

04 Jun 2025We sold our house with the help of real estate agent René, and how happy we are about that! From the first contact, it felt familiar. René knew exactly how to guide us through this exciting process. The communication was excellent – clear, honest, and always with a smile. Every viewing was carefully prepared and professionally executed. René kept us informed of the reactions from potential buyers, so we knew exactly where things stood. This gave us an incredibly good feeling. But what really makes René special is his commitment. He thinks along, seeks solutions, and is always ready to answer questions. He understands that selling your house isn't just a business transaction but an important moment in your life. René, thank you so much for your effort, your enthusiasm, and your personal approach. Thanks to you, our house was sold quickly and successfully. We wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for a nice, reliable, and professional real estate agent! Thank you for everything, René!
