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!

03 Jul 2025Very satisfied with the collaboration with Monique Wolvers. I was able to leave the sale of my house with great confidence to Monique Wolvers. 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.

30 Jun 2025From the beginning, Monique Wolvers was enormously involved in our search for a house. And always with an optimistic attitude. You notice that she is busy, but when something important needs to happen, you can count on her to commit 110% to you. And that has ensured that we already had a house after attempt 3. Thank you Monique!

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.

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 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.

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!!

17 Jul 2025Mischa de Vries van Finke was a breath of fresh air. It was quite a challenge to find living space, especially in Leiden. I can't praise Mischa enough; he is a true professional. He was warm, very knowledgeable, and communicated clearly and precisely throughout the entire process from application to the final rental agreement. I wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone.

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).

From the beginning, he was honest, direct, and clear about what I should and shouldn’t buy. That gave me a lot of confidence. If something seemed too good to be true, he immediately pointed it out and explained why. He was thorough in his research and his advice was always well-supported.

19 Jul 2025Patrick Westhof truly deserves all the praise! From the first contact, I felt heard and understood. He took the time to really listen to my situation and knew exactly what I was looking for. What particularly struck me is how involved he was – he didn't let it rest and worked hard to find the right home for me. Throughout the entire process, he kept me well informed, thought along with me, and was always ready to answer questions. No standard real estate agent, but someone who makes you feel that he really works for you. Thanks to Patrick, I now have a lovely home that fits perfectly with me, and I am incredibly grateful to him for that. A top performer in his field and absolutely recommended for anyone looking for a home with a real estate agent who works with heart and soul for you!

23 Jun 2025After a long search through various real estate agents, where we often felt like we weren't being taken seriously, we ended up at beauvastgoed via a referral. What a relief! From the very first contact moment, we felt heard and understood. Our realtor Patrick Westhof really put in effort for us; he listened carefully to our wishes, actively thought along, and was always available for questions or advice even late at night. Thanks to the personal and professional approach, we finally found a nice rental property that perfectly suits us. Where others left us hanging and we felt like we weren't being taken seriously, Patrick made the difference. We are incredibly grateful and recommend Patrick to everyone looking for an engaged and reliable realtor.

23 May 2025I would like to sincerely thank Beauvastgoed for their professionalism and excellent service! From the beginning, everything went smoothly: Patrick was attentive, gave detailed advice and helped me find an apartment that perfectly met my needs. The paperwork was handled quickly and transparently, without unnecessary bureaucracy. The apartment matched the description and photos, was clean and fully ready to move in. It is clear that the company cares about its reputation and the comfort of its customers. I was particularly impressed by the quick communication with Patrick: any questions were resolved within a day. It's a pleasure to work with people who value the time and comfort of their customers. I can highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable rental agency. Thank you very much to Patrick.

23 May 2025We rented our new house with the help of Patrick Westhof, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Patrick’s in-depth knowledge of the market and experience were clear from our first meeting. He listened carefully to our wishes, explained every detail of the real estate and rental process in plain language, and – impressively enough – secured a fantastic offer for us within no time. Patrick also went above and beyond after the lease was signed, coordinating repairs and fresh paint so that everything was ready before moving day. Even after we had settled in, he remained only a phone call or text message away, quickly answered our questions, and offered practical help when we needed it. If you are looking for a real estate professional who is attentive, proactive, and genuinely cares about his clients, we cannot recommend Patrick highly enough. Thank you for making our move so smooth, Patrick!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Berend to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated professional in the real estate world. Thank you again, Berend!

23 Mar 2025I have been a proud tenant of Beau Vastgoed since 2023. After some private circumstances, Patrick helped me enormously with my current home. Also, a good friend of mine was urgently looking for a property and he had been searching for over a year without success. Until I contacted Patrick to ask if he could do anything and it was arranged within a week! Beau Vastgoed is richer by a new tenant and that friend of mine is incredibly happy with his new home. Thank you, Patrick!

26 Aug 2025The collaboration with Jeroen van den Boogaard was a great experience. We have been in contact with Jasper and Raymond, and both supported us enormously at every step and assisted us when we had doubts. I don't think we could have achieved the goal without their help. Both the purchase and sale with Jeroen & Co went smoothly. Jeroen & Co was warmly recommended to us by a good friend and it was the best decision. We would also wholeheartedly recommend them as reliable real estate agents. Special thanks to Jasper & Raymond.

02 Aug 2025My level of house hunting: Beginner. Success rate: 100%. Real estate agent: Jasper – the wizard! 🪄🏡 If you are looking for a house and think that the process should be long, stressful or full of paperwork, then think again. Jasper completely turned it around for me! This was the very first property I visited in the Netherlands, and guess what? I got the house! My first attempt! 🎯 I have never stepped into their office (I still don't know for sure if it really exists 😄), but Jasper always communicated incredibly fast, was super helpful and refreshingly honest. No nonsense, no pressure – just genuine support and smooth guidance throughout the entire process. He even managed to keep things lighthearted while remaining super professional. A legend. If you are reading reviews because you're not sure which real estate agent to choose, contact Jasper. Really, he is the Formula 1 of real estate agents: fast, reliable and knows exactly when to make the winning move. 🏎️💨 Thanks again, Jasper – you’re not just a real estate agent, you are a house whisperer!
