26 Sep 2025Marieke Kok is the real estate agent to go for when it comes to selling private recreational homes at Resort De Achterhoek. She knows both the market and the park well. We had already heard this from others, but in our case it has been fully confirmed. Good advice on the asking price, a portfolio of potential buyers, quick communication during the process of viewings and offers.

27 Oct 2024Marieke knew about the spicy business matter and managed to create a fantastic warm sales experience. She kept a very good eye on the 'human scale', she went further where I suspect colleague brokers would have said 'that's enough (regarding the number of viewings and the time she spent for each viewing). She was not satisfied with 'enough' and took care of everything in all respects. That, together with her knowledge, expertise, quick action, extremely good accessibility, approachability and service orientation towards all parties, led to a beautiful sales result.

Date unknownUnfortunately, not a pleasant experience with Mercurius Makelaars Deventer. UPDATE: Spoke with Remy, ultimately no solution was found. The phone call was unpleasant because the tone he used did not come across well. The viewing was done by Christiaan Brandwacht, here sufficient information was given (or so we thought). When we signed the purchase agreement, we were told between our noses and lips that a second window would be leaking. My husband and I were not informed of this. Christiaan said that the second window could easily be fixed, to accidentally let a hammer through it during renovations. We were astonished by this, because it is not our problem to solve but that of the sellers and Mercurius. Also, there is a lot of advertising on their socials about a Gamma box you receive when purchasing a home, which we unfortunately did not receive because Christiaan was busy with another sale of a more expensive price class property than ours during the purchase agreement. (Box eventually received because I called to follow up). We passed this on to our buying broker, he followed it up with Mercurius. When measuring the house, we heard from the sellers that the information Christiaan had given us during the viewing was incorrect. During the final inspection, there had been no prior communication from Mercurius with the sellers about the second leaking window. As a result, the second leaking window was not repaired before the final inspection, which led to a discussion between our purchasing broker and the sellers. Marco from Mercurius stood by and watched. It seemed that he only considered it important that the sale of this house went through instead of offering an immediate solution. The final score is that we now have to work with the sellers to resolve it, while Mercurius has not acted and the fault does not lie with the sellers or us. We spoke to the neighbor, turns out there is a mouse infestation in the area (Colmschaterenk), which we also noticed after finding three dead mice in less than a week in the partitions. There were also mousetraps found in the house and a lot of ants crawling through the house. This was not disclosed to us beforehand. It turns out that another window is leaking, so it's not one window that’s leaking but three. Unfortunately, only discovered after the final inspection because there was foil on the third leaking window. In my opinion, it is clear, Mercurius finds it more important to sell a house with 45% information instead of an honest way of selling. Not recommended to buy a house here.

18 Nov 2025We sold our home with the help of Mercurius Makelaars. A very friendly initial meeting which resulted in a cooperation. We had excellent guidance and tips to prepare our house for sale nicely. Emphasized here to give good attention to this and possibly invest. Then the sale will go smoothly. The partner they work with, such as the photographer, was also fantastic. Very nice photos made and our house came out very nicely. This gave a result of 24 potential buyers and we ultimately received nice offers. Our home was sold within 3 weeks with a fall vacation in between. We are extremely satisfied and enthusiastic about Mercurius Makelaars and can recommend them to everyone.

27 Sep 2025Mercurius realtors is a well-coordinated team of experts and friendly professionals. Remy has good market insight, gives sound advice, and delivers on his promises. In addition to scheduled appointments, anyone interested has the opportunity to view the property for 30 minutes during an open house. This results in many extra visitors. Super thanks!

21 Sep 2025Miqa recently sold my property in Deventer. The entire sales process went smoothly, with accuracy of information, quick responses, and service orientation being the main priorities. I was always treated correctly and courteously. The administration was top-notch and I had to do very little work myself regarding the sale. Highly recommended.

As a response to our request for a free property appraisal, an appointment was scheduled and Rinze viewed our house for sale. He came prepared to our appointment and presented a well-supported proposal, supported by various reports including comparable properties. We look back on good contact and honest advice!

21 Oct 2025We were more than well assisted by our real estate agent. It was, however, a challenging process because our house had a few unique features that made pricing difficult and limited the target audience. The process therefore took longer than expected but was ultimately completed successfully.

Not only the advantages but also the points of attention were honestly mentioned beforehand. We were given plenty of room for (multiple) viewings and treated correctly and well. Agreements were kept, which was very pleasant. We wanted future buyers of our home to have this experience as well, and that's why we decided to also have Mr. Pullen sell our house.
