We are available for you 6 days a week from 09:00 am – 09:00 pm! We can communicate both in Dutch and in English and French.

Buying a home will probably be the biggest purchase of your life. It is therefore important to take this seriously. With our purchase brokers, you as an expat, are assured of a carefree and successful purchase process. It starts with a free introductory meeting in which we will discuss your wishes and financial possibilities and explain how things work in the Netherlands. We provide a purchase process from A to Z (introductory meeting, join all views, as a qualified structural engineer we evaluate the structural condition of the home for you with a cost estimate for possible repair, advice and price negotiations, we check all documents, join the final inspection of the home and the visit to the notary for the transfer of the home.
As a buyer of a home in the Netherlands you have a legal obligation to investigate. By having us carry out a structural inspection, you as an expat, also meet this obligation. A structural inspection is an internal- and external visual home inspection that gives you insight into the structural defects and overdue maintenance of the house.
After the inspection you will receive a structural report (in English or other language) in which each structural component is assessed. For each defect, a photo is taken and provided with repair advice and cost estimate. We are a certified Integral Home Inspector and are recognized within the SERTUM register. Our structural reports are accepted by all parties including the Nationale Hypotheek Garantie (NHG), Stichting Waarborgfonds Eigen Woning, all included financial institutions registered with the Autoriteit Financiële Markten and the Nederlandse Woning Waarde Instituut (NWWI).
We will of course help you as an expat with your mortgage, appraisal or structural inspection, but as an innovative real estate agency we have exclusively launched the “Home Coach” concept for our clients (free of charge). On request, we help you with everything that needs to be done in and around your new home. We arrange, among other things, for you as an expat a moving company, contractor, carpenter, glazier, painter, gardener and much more. Super handy if something needs to be done to create your dream home. We only work with reliable professionals from our network.
Valuing a home is a complex process and requires specific knowledge and expertise. We have over 15 years of experience as certified register appraisers, offer attractive prices, have already performed thousands of valuations in the region and therefore know the local market like no other. You can call us 6 days a week from 09:00 am – 09:00 pm to make an appointment. If necessary, an appraiser will come within 24 hours to access the property as part of the appraisal. Our appraiser then determines the market value of your home including any renovations and/or sustainability and you will quickly receive a thorough appraisal report from our appraiser. We are affiliated with the validation institute NWWI and area SCVM and NRVT certified, which means that our appraisal report is accepted by all mortgage providers, Nationale Hypotheek Garantie (NHG) and the tax authorities.
Selling your home can sometimes, especially for expats, cause stress. Don’t stress because we make sure everything runs smooth fully and successfully, so that you can focus on other things. We put out all the stops to put your home in the spotlights. Part of our marketing presentation are a professional photo report, home measuring, colour maps, luxurious brochure, neighbourhood information, 360 degrees tour and even Virtual Reality (VR) so that your home presentation catches the eye. Your home will be shown on all relevant housing websites such as Funda and Pararius and featured as “home of the week” on our own frequently viewed website. In consultation with you, we plan the views and, in case of sale, draw up the purchase agreement. We take care of the final inspection of the house and accompany you to the notary for the transfer of the house.
You can, of course, engage us independently as a purchase broker, sales broker, appraiser or structural engineer. It is handy and smart to purchase several of these services from us at the same time, which has a couple of advantages. Everything under one roof promotes communication and prevents misunderstandings, you have more control over your planning and not unimportantly, you benefit from extra discount.
