Why It Matters Who You Vote For

Selling or buying sounds simple. Until it's your house.

"What is my house really worth?"

"I'm afraid I'll ask for too little. Or too much, and then it'll sit there for months."

"Where am I supposed to find the time?"

That anxiety is normal. And it goes away as soon as someone who does this every week takes over.

The only question is: who?

Selling Your Home

We'll turn your home into an ad.

Hadewij photographs your home at the right time of day. We write the description, choose the order of the photos, and list your home on Funda as if it were a marketing campaign. More serious viewers, better offers.

You'll open the door for the photographer and sign the documents at the notary's office later. We'll take care of the rest, and we'll keep you updated after each step.

Wondering what a 1% commission means for your home?

We know which neighborhoods are thriving and how that affects property values. That knowledge is reflected in every appraisal, every showing, and every negotiation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you call.

How much does a real estate agent cost with your company?

When selling, you pay a fixed commission of 1% of the sale price, including VAT. That price is listed right here on the site, so you don’t have to wait for a real estate agent to come by. For purchase guidance, we agree on a single, clear price upfront.

What happens during the free introductory session?

We’ll meet you at your kitchen table, or you can stop by our office on Singel. Within an hour, you’ll know what your home is worth, or how your housing preferences and budget stack up in today’s market. It’s free, and there’s no obligation.

Why is your commission lower than that of many other real estate agents?

Because we’re a small team without an expensive field staff or hired photographers. The four of us do everything ourselves, which saves on costs that other firms pass on to their clients. The same work, with more attention to detail, at a more competitive price.

Do you also help with buying a home?

Yes. We’ll help you search, conduct thorough inspections, assess the structural condition, and negotiate effectively. That way, you can buy with a solid understanding of the Amsterdam market, without making hasty decisions.

Can I also rent out my home through you?

Yes. In addition to buying and selling, we also manage rental properties in Amsterdam—from finding a reliable tenant to handling the leases. Buying and selling are our main focus, but the same team handles the rental side as well.

In which areas do you operate?

Throughout Amsterdam, from De Pijp to Noord, as well as in Amstelveen and Diemen.
