Top 10 best brokers Fochteloo 2026

A simple question for an explanation of a term in the description of a house (what does 'Swedish style' mean regarding the construction?) was simply not answered. Why? Here comes the crooked explanation from the 'office manager': because there is already so much interest and no new viewings are being accepted. Should a new possibility to view arise, then the real estate agent would contact you to answer the question. If it already fails there...

A real estate agent who really listens and actively thinks along, with always up-to-date knowledge and clear advice. Mainly in contact with Michel himself. Friendly, reliable and no effort is too much. Fully committed, really goes for it and keeps all appointments. With as a result a nice sales result of our penthouse apartment in Noordwolde. In short, a recommendation! Greetings Sabrina

A real estate agent who truly listens and actively participates, with up-to-date knowledge and clear advice. Sympathetic, reliable and no effort is too much. Fully committed, really goes for it and keeps all appointments. With the result of a nice sales result. In short, a recommendation.

Everything went as agreed and according to plan. We are very satisfied with the collaboration with realtor Snoek.

Very fine guidance by each of this company. They know well how the market is structured and are very knowledgeable. Good guidance throughout the entire process. Definitely a recommendation!

Always had good contact regarding the sale and what we could do to sell the property. Nice experience with Snoek Makelaars!

The contact went well. Only the last step regarding placing the sold house on the real estate agent's website was unexpected. Resolved well.

A very competent and sympathetic real estate agent! Snoek Makelaars has alerted us and helped us well with the sale of our house.

We find real estate agency Snoek to be a very nice and pleasant realtor. Snoek and his staff are warm people who think with you and have a good feel for what is needed. Always staying in good contact and doing what you expect from your realtor. We would definitely choose Snoek real estate agency again!

Great real estate agents, they know the market extremely well and think along. Tristen has helped us excellently and guided us through the sales process. Definitely a recommendation!

Professional real estate agents, low threshold and think creatively with. Stunning photos and film made with drone. We definitely recommend this real estate agent.

When we went to sell our house, we contacted multiple real estate agents, but Snoek Real Estate was the only one who wanted/could come look at our house immediately! We had spoken to multiple real estate agents, but the agent from Snoek was the only one who was certain about specific points, which gave us a lot of trust in them. Because of their experience, we quickly noticed that they would do everything to sell our house well. The contact was good and we noticed that they really listened to our…

Our house was sold within 2 weeks. Thanks to their quick action. This real estate agent is certainly a recommendation.

Good real estate agent, expert and knows the market excellently. Since we were already convinced of this here during a previous purchase, we chose this real estate agent.

Michel and Tristen are honest and sincere people, which made the sales process very pleasant. No slick talk, just both feet on the ground! So if you plan to put your home up for sale, engage 'Snoek Real Estate' with peace of mind! Thanks Michel, Tristen and Gretina

Everything went well and to satisfaction. Had multiple experiences with Snoek as an agent, so knew how it works. Brief communication lines and always kept informed after a viewing.

We have experienced our cooperation with Snoek brokers (Tristen) as very pleasant. The communication was clear and smooth, appointments were kept neatly, and we felt well guided throughout the entire process. They thought along with us and there was always room for questions. Thanks to their expertise and personal contact, we had a lot of confidence in the process. In short: highly satisfied!

The contact with the real estate agent was excellent. Responded immediately to phone inquiries with clear answers. Quick to take action. Also kept me informed of new developments quickly. The pricing was right on target. The house sold in no time. The handling was professional.

Everything was excellently organized. What surprised us negatively was that not everything is included in the package, extra costs for photos, energy labels.

Some years ago, Snoek Makelaars helped us with the sale of our farm in Oldeberkoop. What none of the real estate agents achieved in a then very difficult market, was for this agent an exercise with success. Honest, realistic, connecting where the possibilities lay, and: everyone happy. I am still indebted to him for this review, I'm zero when it comes to digital affairs and social media, which led to postponement after postponement. But it kept haunting me; the debt I owed Snoek, namely a well-deserved (!) good review. Here it is then: Snoek delivers what others cannot, he keeps his appointment, and knows how to balance in everyone's favor. An honest business! Therefore; I would do it again without hesitation. Good luck further Snoek and greetings from us: Robin, the Buijze family, formerly Oldeberkoop, now Rotterdam...

First-rate real estate agent. Iris has always been friendly and enthusiastic. Muriël professionally guided the sales process.

The contact was relaxed and pleasant from the first minute. The communication was clear, professional and always friendly. During the entire sales process I felt well supported and kept informed. Everything was efficiently arranged, which ensured a smooth and successful course of the sale. Definitely recommended!

Selling our house, because we had bought a new home. What a stress and an uncertain period. Muriël, (the real estate agent), remained calm and kept us calm as well. Happy with our choice of her.

We were super helped with the sale of the property. Beautiful personal description and the contact was very professional and friendly. The lines were short. It was a pleasant collaboration.

Very good guidance received when purchasing the property. Expert advice and good contact. Definitely a recommender.

A very pleasant collaboration with Kien Makelaars when purchasing my new home! I also used them for the sale of my home.

The contact with the buyer's agent Muriël van Kien was quick, knowledgeable and transparent. We received the best advice at the right moments, which is why we are now the happy new owners of our dream house on a dream location! Couldn't have been better!

Team with authenticity. Expert guidance in good balance with our own input. Excellent service in sales preparation. Final sale aligned with our wishes. Transparent service at a reasonable price.

Muriël has super helped us with our first home. Because we ourselves had no knowledge of buying a home, the clear explanation from the real estate agent was extremely valuable for us. The contact went very smoothly and we would recommend KIEN Wijkmakelaar to everyone.

We are extremely happy and grateful for the efforts of Kien Wijkmakelaar, office Kloosterveen. Muriël really put herself in our shoes. Already during the second viewing, we, trusting in Muriël's expertise, made a bid that was very acceptable to us and was accepted. After a long search, we had within one day a viewing, a bid submitted, and a message that our bid was accepted! It was nice after a year of fumbling ourselves to now be well prepared and confident enough to make a good bid. Also, the after-sales process is experienced by us as very pleasant. It's our first purchased home, so sometimes we have quite a few questions. These are quickly answered in the specially created whatsapp group, even in the evenings and on weekends. A big plus point compared to other real estate agents is a quite sharp price/quality ratio. At KIEN, houses are actively presented where with most real estate agents you yourself have to come up with them. Also, you can view unlimited properties for the fixed all-in price with your real estate agent. In this regard, we experienced Kien as very flexible. In short, two satisfied customers (so far) and from February really starters on the housing market.

The contact with the real estate agent was informal and pleasant. In general, questions were answered promptly. We also greatly appreciated the real estate agent's sympathy during a difficult period for us. Further good and useful tips to make the house more saleable for the photos and viewings. The selling price of our house was difficult to estimate because few houses in the nearby neighborhood have been or are being sold. Therefore, our score on this point is somewhat lower…

We are extremely happy and grateful for the efforts of Kien Wijkmakelaar, office Kloosterveen. Muriël really put herself in our shoes. Already on the second viewing, we, trusting in the expertise of Muriël, made an offer that was accepted. After a long search, we had within one day a viewing, an offer made and a message that our offer was accepted. We also experience the aftersales process as very pleasant. It is our first purchased home, so sometimes h…

The contact was very pleasant. I have benefited a lot from the advice and knowledge of the people at Kien! The house was sold super quickly. That is certainly due to the beautiful photos and the compelling sales text.

We sold our house through Kien Wijkmakelaar in Assen, guided by Muriël. She is friendly, enthusiastic and really personal. No standard story, but tailor-made: she takes the time to get to know you as a seller and you feel like more than just a number. She follows through, is easily reachable by phone and always responds quickly. The communication is pleasant, she thinks along and offers a listening ear. A nice real estate agent that we can definitely recommend!

The contact went very smoothly, KIEN helped us to our first home. We didn't know so well how everything went. We could always reach her with all the questions we had. We strongly recommend KIEN

What a top team, no matter which of the three you come to they are all at the same level. Living completely with and nice enthusiastic. Definitely recommend this real estate agent to relaxedly sell your house.

Very pleasant sales experience with Kien Kloosterveen. Good in communication, advice, thinking along and very involved. In short, a real recommendation.

This fine real estate agent gets a thick 10 from us as a rating!! You get everything you're looking for here: clarity, customer attention, short lines, good service and all that for a nice price! Muriël is a super fine and lovely real estate agent who is always ready for you and always reachable. Even in the evenings and during her vacation she makes time for you. She is very involved. I would say: “Don't look any further, here you get everything you as a customer expect from a real estate agent!” The next time we would certainly choose Kien Wijkmakelaar without a doubt!!

Professional real estate agent, very accessible. They keep you well informed about ongoing matters. The property was sold extremely quickly.

I would recommend any Kien real estate agent!! Really a super nice agent! A solid 10! Next time we would definitely go with this agent again. Muriël is a lovely agent, very clear and always available. Short lines of communication and a kind woman!

Gave us good advice, handled the viewings well and we got a very good price for our house. Pleasant contact and very knowledgeable about the local market.

Thanks to Roelina's huge commitment and support, we were able to sell our house very quickly. Thank you so much!

Very nice, friendly and concrete first visit. Clear explanation, and costs discussed. After a somewhat difficult start phase, the approach discussed and executed resulting in a smooth sale.

From start to finish, excellent, very satisfied, definitely recommend. We are very pleased with the sale.

Very clear and good communication. Everything quickly arranged and good advice and business sense. I would recommend De smelthe to everyone.

The contact went super, all time is taken for you. Very short lines and thinks with you in solutions 😃👍👌

Our real estate agent was reliable, transparent and always quick in communication. Thanks to her professional approach and involvement, the sale of our house went smoothly.

After the request, quickly sat down with each other at the table. The contact was pleasant and the sale of the house went well for us.

The introductory meeting was very pleasant, clear information and plan of approach. The contact from there continued via telephone, short, concise and clear. Now and then we had to make an effort from both sides to reach each other. The speed of the sale of the house was amazing but that also has to do with the shortage on the housing market. We are in the concluding phase. We are satisfied with this real estate agent!

Fantastic smooth sale and good cooperation. Everything was picked up and handled very quickly. Extremely satisfied!

Very open and human contact, kept continuously informed and a great wrap-up. Very satisfied with the Smelthe.

Very well supported by Roelien! She thought well about our situation and always remained neat. Recommended!

Called this realtor multiple times for a viewing In this case, it couldn't be earlier because the realtor wants to do the viewings themselves and was on vacation. So only able to plan something for September 2nd. Then you get canceled because the property is already sold. Very strange. You are put on another schedule and then they shut you down. You don't even get a chance to make an offer while you wanted to set up an appointment on the day of publicity! In short!? Scammers. Selling quickly is nice but you don't even get a fair chance to make an offer! Everything revolves around making quick money.

Roelien is a considerate real estate agent who keeps everyone well informed about the state of affairs.

Asking price determined through discussion and based on previous comparable sales in the region. This ultimately proved to be a good indicator of the actual selling price. The purchase was quickly finalized. There was little need for support from the real estate agent, but when necessary, contact was pleasant and informal.

Real Estate Agent Roelien van De Smelthe is not only very knowledgeable but also very pleasant to deal with. She is open, honest, kind-hearted, and she responds very quickly to questions. We could not have wished for a better real estate agent.

It went very well, with thought and all necessary help. Easily accessible even if you arrive unannounced, which wasn't a problem. Top broker.

We had a very pleasant contact with Roelien. She was knowledgeable and engaged. Our house was sold quickly. We certainly recommend her to other potential home sellers.

First-class talker, look up the meaning of the word 'arrogant' and you have a picture. It’s that he asks little commission but the price/quality ratio is also according to that. Negative Responsiveness, Quality and Professionalism

The contact with the real estate agent and his office went as desired. Were well informed. Had knowledge of the subject. Think with the seller.

When selling our house, Gerwin and Carmen helped us a lot. Their advice was honest and clear, and their knowledge of the area is excellent.

Great real estate agent who thinks along! Nice informal contact but everything is well organized down to the last detail. We have sold 2 homes with this agent and recommend this office to everyone.

Mrs. Carmen Schrage of mr. Gerwin Wijnands BV. has excellently represented the sale of my house. Open, honest, and professional she sold my house. In every respect a recommendation. When I go to sell a house again, I will certainly choose her again.

If someone understands what the wishes and dreams of a future buyer/seller are, it's mr. Gerwin Wijnands. Both when purchasing in the past and when selling in the present, his expertise - and that of his colleagues! - has been of invaluable value to make everything flow smoothly and without stress. For this, I am grateful to them. Therefore, I recommend mr. Gerwin Wijnands as a choice for living/working/recreation in the Northern part of the country.

Nice low-threshold contact, really empathized with us. Really completely satisfied.

Contact with realtor Carmen Schrage was excellent. Understood the sale and positioned the property well. Gave the seller confidence and provided clarity on all questions. Accessibility was also great.

The sale went well, I was kept informed throughout the process and additional service that was needed given the distance, was handled by the realtor.

Pleasant contact and good guidance. Easily accessible and pleasant consultation. Nice young people, approachable.

What a worthless realtor I was already dealing with since July 2024 and have visited the open house day and called countless times but never received the requested information to be able to make an offer, really very bad company, so I missed out on my potential home.

Super fast and clear communication. Definitely recommended!

Had a house appraised by Gerwin. Nice appraiser and knowledgeable. Clear and the appraisal was handled quickly.

Fantastic service, always very positive and friendly. Easily accessible and highly expert advice. Really great that Carmen and Gerwin took all the care out of our hands in this sales process. Highly recommended!

Thanks to Gerwin and Carmen, we look back on a pleasant sale of our house. For an older person who has never sold a house before, this is a very exciting undertaking, but thanks to the good care of both of them, it went smoothly and well. Everything was arranged perfectly for us by them. In every contact we had with each other, they were friendly, clear, helpful and especially enjoyable, but certainly also very expert. When we had questions, there was a short…

Contact with the real estate agent went very smoothly. They were always reachable and they really did their best to sell our house.

Small-scale real estate agency with knowledge of the wider area. Pleasant and expert contact with both brokers Carmen and Gerwin. The guidance was pleasant and response speed high when needed. Recommendation to sell your house (or maybe even buy) with this office.

Real estate agent Gerwin Wijnands, has guided us superbly, provided good advice regarding the sale of our house, clear in his profession. A pleasant real estate agent.

We were helped and advised with great expertise and passion regarding the sale of our house. He arranges everything to perfection. We would definitely recommend Gerwin.

Snel en zorgvuldig 👍🏻 …

A review, regarding business with Sake Jacob Bijlsma. Involved in many purchases, this is the latest purchase and again experienced a lot of warmth and care! Great guy❤️

Very friendly and knowledgeable, understands the subject matter and acts quickly. Always available... top! Involved as a real estate agent or appraiser in my purchase and sale.

Is very clear in explaining the entire process and always approachable when there are questions, very correct so far.

Had a pleasant contact, and a man who knows what he's talking about

Sake Bijlsma carried out the valuation of our house for us. We needed this to apply for a building deposit. A pleasant and friendly man, and the valuation was completed quickly. In short, we are satisfied!

For the purchase of our home, Sake created the appraisal report. We are very satisfied with this, it was so arranged! Sake is professional, friendly and fast. Truly excellent! Thank you

Excellent realtor, direct and concrete. Quick completion.

Acted quickly and accurately

Pieter heeft ons geholpen met de aankoop van onze eerste woning. Dit is super snel gegaan en hij heeft ons goed advies gegeven over het bod. Het contact verliep soepel en snel. Wij zouden deze makelaar zeker aanraden

De makelaar heeft ons heel goed geholpen met de bieding en het verdere verloop. Hij is goed bereikbaar en denkt mee op een rustige manier, wat vertrouwen geeft. Bij de bezichtiging van het aangekochte huis was door omstandigheden een collega van hem aanwezig die eveneens goed geïnformeerd was.

The service and guidance of the real estate agent to the seller is going very well. Questions are answered quickly. Also has good knowledge of the market. Have had this real estate agent before and the cooperation is going well.

We have come to know our real estate agent as professional, calm and sympathetic. Communication was easy, adaptations regarding less digitally skilled were seamless.

The visit by the real estate agent to our home went very quickly after a phone call for an appointment for the sale. The conversation with the subsequent listing on the site also went smoothly. We were very helped by a enthusiastic employee. Our home was sold in no time. The process we experienced as very pleasant and professional. All praise to this real estate agent!

Lamberink is in all respects a prime real estate agent! Harald Engelsman has provided excellent guidance throughout the entire sales process. The appointments for the photographer and viewings of the property were announced in a timely manner. And the final bidding process went through good consultation and with good explanation by the real estate agent, so that I could make the right choice.

Everything went fine, but if you see what you pay for it, that's also the least they can do.

Initially little contact. A comment was made about that and it helped. The contact then became better.

Had a nice conversation and very satisfied with Lamberink. They helped us very well during the sales process.

Very good, couldn't be better 10 with a griffel has helped us well with the sale of our house, must recommend him to everyone

I hate judging people. I chose this realtor because I didn't have confidence in a local one. And in my opinion, this has been a very good choice. He is worth recommending. He earned my trust.

Pieter has a passion for his work; he is super excellent in terms of interaction, contact and professionalism. Pieter, thanks so much.

The entire process went smoothly, I really felt 'relieved' and that was pleasant. That is why I am also very satisfied!

The contact went very well and our quite expensive house (for North Dutch standards) was sold in no time.

Nice realtor, friendly and easily accessible. Thinks and helps where he can. Knows what's going on in the neighborhood and responds well to that.

Pleasant informal contact. That's what we like. We can’t elaborate much further on it.

Zeer prettig in de communicatie en het traject van begin tot eind. Zijn geld meer als waard. Een goed bereikbaar kantoor met persoonlijke inslag.

Although the agent himself is competent and, in my opinion, the viewings went well thanks to his guidance, I unfortunately did not experience the entire process as predominantly positive. At almost every step there were sloppinesses or miscommunications that had to be corrected, which meant I could not fully hand over the matters with a clear conscience. The most annoying incident was an inspection of which I had not been informed by the secretary. My wo…

The cooperation was completely as expected and according to agreement. Pleasant communication and pleased with the service.

Low-threshold and clear contact. From the beginning a good feeling which has been confirmed in the sale!

The real estate agents of Wijkmakelaar Kien are very experienced and very involved with their (s)ellers. Recommender!

Very short lines with the real estate agent, personally involved and come appointments after. Very nice to be able to sell our home with this real estate agent.

Both buying a house from, as well as selling with Kien! Both times very satisfied. Very quickly and easily reachable, you never feel too much and he can with all his knowledge and skill answer and explain everything properly. Price quality more than good, and you get personal attention back, which we experienced as very pleasant.

This fine real estate agent gets a thick 10 from us as a rating!! You get everything you're looking for here: clarity, customer attention, short lines, good service and all that for a nice price! Muriël is a super fine and lovely real estate agent who is always ready for you and always reachable. Even in the evenings and during her vacation she makes time for you. She is very involved. I would say: “Don't look any further, here you get everything you as a customer expect from a real estate agent!” The next time we would certainly choose Kien Wijkmakelaar without a doubt!!

In a word: excellent! Jorrin is a skilled real estate agent with a good team. Much appreciation for the personal approach to selling my childhood home. Good accessibility, short lines of communication and clear advice. Beautiful photos and lovely drone footage. We experienced the collaboration as very pleasant and will, should the opportunity arise, choose Kien makelaars again.

Reliable, expert and involved - a definite recommendation! We came into contact with Jorrin Mulder of KIEN neighborhood real estate agent via an online request, and honestly, I was initially somewhat skeptical. My preference initially went to a well-known realtor from Oosterwolde. But because the appointment had already been scheduled, we decided to have the meeting anyway - and I haven't regretted it for a moment. From the first conversation, Jorrin immediately inspired confidence. He comes across as very professional, is clearly incredibly experienced and has genuine passion for his profession. His approach is personal, clear and no-nonsense. No smooth sales pitches, but simply honest advice and clear explanation of the sales strategy. Within no time, our home was professionally online thanks to an excellent photographer who KIEN engaged. Everything was taken care of down to the last detail. And the result? Within two weeks, our house was sold for a beautiful amount that we are incredibly happy with! Throughout the entire process, Jorrin was always accessible and kept us well informed. Everything went smoothly and professionally. In short: if you are looking for a realtor who really thinks along with you, offers clear communication and delivers results, then I can wholeheartedly recommend KIEN neighborhood real estate agent. Thank you Jorrin - you have exceeded our expectations! Emmie de Boer & Antoine Scholtalbers

Last year I sold my house through Jorrin / Kien. Very satisfied with the entire process and guidance! The market was not great at that time due to rising interest rates. Nevertheless, Jorrin found a suitable buyer.

Viewed a nice property that was for sale by Jorrin. Due to circumstances, the purchase unfortunately did not go through, despite all the efforts made by Jorrin and his team. Pleasant (telephone) contact.

just one number and that's a solid 10. very good communication amongst yourselves, superb presentation of the property and proper handling.

Very friendly staff and the broker has a lot of knowledge and insight and takes everything into account, also acts directly on requests.

Good communication and happy with the result. Good technical knowledge and short lines of communication. Additionally, helped with good advice.

Excellent, good contact Excellent expertise Good information and explanation, also for future buyers Thanks

Contact works perfectly well, personally and professionally. However, some actions and reactions do take a bit longer than you were used to before, but this applies to every company at the moment. Everywhere it is busy, if one takes this into account, it remains relaxed for everyone. Great company, very nice people.

Excellent contact, expert brokers. They think along with you well, call if there are questions. Very attentive.

We are incredibly satisfied with the help that Jorrin Mulder provided us in selling our house. From the first contact, we noticed his expertise and commitment. Jorrin thinks along with you, takes the time to explain everything clearly and does everything possible to close the best deal. He is always ready to go the extra mile and ensures that you feel supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to his professional approach and good advice, we have…

The contact with the real estate agent went well, was well aware of the local value of the property. The feedback from the real estate agent to us could have been a bit more frequent at the beginning, however after we had indicated this it was subsequently good. All in all very satisfied with the real estate agent.

Very good realtor and staff. We were very well assisted and everything went smoothly. Top 👌😄…

Good guidance and advice on sales strategy. Good knowledge of the local market. Pleasant contact.

Very fine insurance agency, personal and involved. We have been loyal customers for years and are very satisfied with the professionalism, expertise, and contact.

Very bad experience!

Extremely knowledgeable and pleasant contact. From the first acquaintance, the appraisal, negotiations with the buyer to the final handling of the sale, everything went smoothly and pleasantly! Highly recommended!

Good advice and service

Little concerned with his customers

Always pleasant contact and honest advice

far too expensive insurances, very bad service

Doesn't keep appointments. Everything takes far too long and they are very difficult to reach and call back much later. If you want quick and good action, then definitely do not go with this company!

Rampkema

The most helpful things in the Netherlands. It is not knowledge from books. A few employees, many customers. Really patient people. As a Polish customer, I can only say one thing: enjoy it!👍 …

Lovely village office. Picking up keys for a viewing isn't a problem, just see when you bring it back. I like that. They also handle your banking very customer-focused here. If you have a question, you will be helped properly, even if they come to you to explain everything. Old-fashioned good and not like the other current banks, if there is even an office nearby!
