23 Jan 2025This review comes after many years, but seems very similar to other reviews. I was asked about 'administrative costs', which, as it turned out later, were no longer legally allowed in the Netherlands. And I never received my full deposit back from the landlord, who effectively took care of the real estate agent without telling me anything at all. They knew that I would be leaving the country, so I was, like many others (see reviews), the ideal victim. Not really helpful for expats, quite the contrary. You could say that I am an expert in fooling expats :)

23 Jul 2024It was the letting agent who managed to find a living space for me in Leiden. I really recommend it, they were very kind to me!
Xavier Galloo - google
23 Jul 2024Correct communication via their website as well as by phone, with punctual appointments, both at the start of the rental and upon termination of the lease agreement and handover. However, Xpat Xpert defends ONLY the interests of the landlord (landlord). Despite a perfectly cleaned apartment upon handover, confirmed by photos and a signed handover statement (signed by an employee of Xpat Xpert), part of the deposit was withheld. Xpat Xpert has not heard anything more about this matter. Complete radio silence despite repeated requests for clarification as to the reason for this, as well as their support for the tenant, given the signed handover statement. Still a disappointing end to the rental agreement!

23 Jul 2023Some time ago I was invited for a viewing. For this, I traveled to Leiden, sent all my documentation, and was greeted kindly. Unfortunately, after that, I never heard anything more. I repeatedly tried to make contact, both by email and telephone, but I was never answered. I find this a very unsocial situation; I invest effort, time and money in the procedure only to hear nothing!

23 Jul 2022I feel very reassured because if I have a problem in the house that I rent, I can call the team and they will help me immediately or suggest what I should do. This is very important as an expat.
Ettore canestri - google
23 Jul 2021Everything went smoothly, except when checking out of an apartment. The intermediary could not explain to me why I did not receive the full deposit back. To prevent problems, make sure you have a signed agreement during the final inspection of the apartment about what needs to be repaired/cleaned before handing over the keys.
Sieger Suurbier - google
23 Jul 2021Xpat has been renting out my apartment for years. Despite the turnover of tenants not being so frequent, I am very satisfied with the service.

23 Jul 2021Good service, friendly and without extra costs. Even helped with setting up utilities and internet.
Nikhil Vaidya - google
23 Jul 2021Another agency that charges the infamous 'administrative costs' to tenants who found the property advertisement themselves on the xpat xpert website. Someone who can sleep well at night even after robbing expats blind during the day has a very flawed character. Avoid at all costs, or simply refuse to pay the administrative costs!!

21 Jun 2025Sander is an excellent sales broker. He ensures that every step in the sales process runs smoothly and efficiently. His communication is always clear, fast, and professional, which gave me a great sense of confidence throughout the entire experience. Sander works quickly without compromising on quality, and he was always available to answer questions or give advice. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, the sale went flawlessly. I can wholeheartedly recommend Sander to anyone who wants to sell their home.

21 May 2025Sander greatly helped us to find and buy our new house. He had a lot of knowledge and was very involved during the entire process. His goal wasn't to get the most profit himself but to find a suitable location for us, and this was noticeable!

21 May 2025Sander was our 'Broker' for the sale of our apartment. He is professional, honest and trustworthy. The entire sales process went very smoothly: from the moment photos were taken for the apartment to the moment the contract was signed. It all happened very quickly and in an organized manner with virtually no disruption on our side. If you are looking for a 'Broker' to make your life easier, then Sander from Smash makelaars is my recommendation. And as a bonus, he speaks perfect English in case you are an expat.

Charlie Forest - google
21 Feb 2025Very unreliable realtor! They play unfair games and completely ignore bidding deadlines. Instead of following a transparent process, they manipulate the sale by only informing their preferred buyers and giving them the opportunity to outbid. This is pure fraud and utterly unprofessional. It's better to buy your house through an honest and reputable realtor – you’d better avoid this one!
Reply from SMASH Makelaars:
We don't know who you are but this makes absolutely no sense. We actually work with a closed bidding period to prevent this. So stop this nonsense.

21 Jan 2025Recently, we enjoyed working with Sander van Meerten of SMASH Makelaars in the sale of our house in Voorburg, and we can wholeheartedly recommend them. Sander greatly helped us find the perfect buyers for our house. His advice and guidance were invaluable at every step and guided us through the complexity of the sales process with confidence and ease. At any time of day, he was always available to answer our questions, alleviate our concerns or reassure us. His expertise was clearly visible in every aspect of the transaction, from determining the right price for the property to conducting negotiations and ensuring that all paperwork was in order. He even went the extra mile to minimize the hassle for us by seamlessly collaborating with other parties involved and handling details we hadn't thought of. Thanks to his efforts, what could have been a stressful process has become a smooth and enjoyable experience. We are enormously grateful for his support and expertise and would not hesitate to work with him again. Thank you, Sander/SMASH, for making this process as smooth and successful as possible!

Date unknownThey are friendly and helpful when they have contact with you. I had some problems with the new apartment. According to the real estate agents, it was a short circuit that would be resolved within a few hours (it took much longer). I had to contact them multiple times to get it resolved. Edit: I now live in this apartment for 5 months and I still don't have a working intercom (I opened a ticket in week 2).

21 Jun 2025After 20 years of selling my house, it was quite a significant step. Rob gained my full trust from the first moment of contact through his market knowledge (Leidschenveen), clear communication, clearly stating mutual expectations, and quick responses to questions/comments. Rob, thank you very much for everything!
Reply from Makelaarscentrum - Dé lokale specialist!:
Hey Yvette, thanks for your kind words and yes, after 20 years it's not easy to let go of everything, but a new phase of life awaits. Thanks also for the pleasant collaboration which has led to a result more than dreamed of. Just placed the right sticker on your board as a conclusion for now..;-). Good luck with the move and see you soon.

21 May 2025Very satisfied with the service of Rob. He comes across as experienced and knows the Leidschenveen area very well. I appreciate his objective approach, which tempers unrealistic expectations. I would have no hesitation in using his services again (and those of people he works with).

27 Jul 2025Just like all other reviews, enormously impressed with the collaboration with Monique Wolvers. She is very professional, but absolutely does not forget the human aspect when buying a house. We really needed her services for the purchase of an apartment. Without her critical perspective, decisiveness, but also very friendly approach, we would never have been able to get a house. Wolvers Real Estate thinks along, is always easily accessible and ensures a good handling of matters that we know too little about.

Date unknownLooking for a house in the Groene Hart region? Then I advise you to directly engage Monique Wolvers of Monique Wolvers Purchase Broker! She helped us find that property, even in a wildly fluctuating housing market, which meets all our living wishes and is also affordable. Monique is well-informed with a large network, essential to be successful now. She quickly delves into you as a client, is proactive so you can see suitable properties as soon as possible, is attentive and learns quickly, allowing her to increasingly respond to the property that you as a buyer are looking for. And when the time comes, she is persistent and knows how to put just that extra emphasis on the selling party, so that in this market you find the house that suits you without having to take irresponsible risks. I wholeheartedly recommend Monique Wolvers Purchase Broker. And, an extra plus: Monique focuses purely on purchasing homes. No double hats and, in my opinion, that only benefits the advice given to the buyer!

From the first moment, the communication was clear and pleasant. Monique responds quickly, thinks proactively and keeps you well informed of every step in the process. What I really liked was her personal and involved approach. She listens carefully, has an eye for the situation and comes up with clear and realistic advice. I felt truly taken seriously, without unnecessary pressure being applied. Monique has a lot of knowledge of the local market and knows exactly which resources and sales methods are effective at what time. Thanks to her thoughtful approach, the sale got off to a quick start. The property was professionally presented and well publicized, resulting in serious interest and ultimately a beautiful result. She is persistent and does not lose sight of the importance of her client. Monique thinks strategically, recognizes which bidders are promising and directs them in a calm but decisive manner. In short: a reliable, accessible and expert real estate agent who is pleasant to work with. I am happy that I chose her and can certainly recommend her to others who want to sell their house.

07 Jul 2025Unfortunately a negative experience with Kleurrijk Makelaars. By having the appraisal done here for the purchase of a home, we either had to pay an additional 10,000 euro or have another paid appraisal done by another party because the first appraisal was not real. Unfortunately, we had to incur extra costs as a result, which we could have prevented by not choosing Kleurrijk Makelaars.

21 Apr 2025Houtman & De Vogel. I had them highly rated as a real estate agent, but they really completely missed the mark. Making an April Fool's joke by offering a characteristic property for sale in Boskoop. Interested parties received an email back stating that it was an April Fool's joke. Knowing how tense the housing market is, especially among young people, this is a truly hopeless joke. In my opinion, the employees didn't think things through well before doing this. Giving people hope in this way I find very bad. I secretly hope it costs them customers. Very very bad Houtman @ De Vogel.
Reply from Houtman & de Vogel Makelaardij:
We understand that our April Fool's joke wasn't appreciated by everyone, and we apologize for that. It was certainly not our intention to give false hope. We wanted to playfully draw attention to a unique piece of Boskoop—a tiny little bridge keeper’s house—, but understand that the housing market is a sensitive topic. Thank you for your feedback, we'll take it into consideration.

Date unknownHoutman & de Vogel helped us with the sale of our house. An initial meeting with Eveline felt good immediately and was very positive. She explained how Houtman & de Vogel works and what we could expect. Even when it took a bit longer (5 months), she remained positive and fought until the end to get the maximum out of it for us. Super friendly and clear communication throughout the entire process, even responding on free days/hours if necessary. Eveline and the team provided excellent service and I will definitely recommend them. For the move, I was even able to borrow a van for free. Thanks so much, Eveline and the rest of the team!

16 May 2025No-nonsense real estate agent. Small brokerage firm, resulting in short lines of communication and a personal approach. They are always reachable and took care of me during the sales process. I didn't give them a 10, perfectionism doesn't exist and isn't human or desirable. Then there is no more room for self-reflection. In short: expert and pragmatic real estate agency.
