You're dealing with a lot right now. Just keep scrolling, and we'll go through the questions on your mind one by one.
You don’t need a plan, knowledge of Funda, or any understanding of the market. Just schedule an appointment, and we’ll come by. Within an hour, you’ll know what your home is worth, what you should and shouldn’t do, and what the timeline looks like if you decide to sell.
It's free, with no obligation, and there's no fine print. After that, you decide—at your own pace. And if you decide to stay for another year, that's fine too. At least then you'll know where you stand.
We determine the very best asking price in close consultation with you, the client. This is based on actual sales in your neighborhood, the condition and unique features of your home, and what we see happening during viewings every week.
Sometimes that amount turns out to be higher than you hoped, and sometimes lower. But it’s a price you can rely on, and it’s exactly what the best selling price yields. Read below to find out how we go about it.
A good selling price isn't a matter of luck. It depends on how your home stands out, how the showings go, and the strategy behind it. We'll walk you through these three points below.
Erik will walk through your home beforehand, assessing it with his interior design eye. Often, a few small changes are all it takes—no major renovations are needed. Then, Hadewij will photograph your home at the right time of day to capture the best light, and she’ll create a 3D tour and a mood video so that viewers can virtually walk through your home online.
And your home isn't just listed on Funda—it's also listed on the other platforms where buyers are looking. More exposure, more serious viewers, better offers.
When you work with us, the person who opens the door knows your home, your neighbors, and the neighborhood. We tell the story of your home and what it’s like to live there, and we take the time to work with people who are serious about buying. A second showing is never a problem.
After each showing, we'll let you know what the viewers said and what that means for the sale. That way, you'll always know where you stand.
We choose the right time to list your home on Funda, target buyers who are a good fit for your property, and gradually build anticipation without putting any pressure on them. If the market develops differently than expected, we’ll adjust our strategy.
The asking price we set together with you is the most important tool in this process: not too high, not too low, but just right for the group of buyers we want to attract.
Our recommendation: Build a small interior wall to create a second bedroom, which would make the home appealing to a much larger group of buyers.
Our advice: Put the property back on the market after six months and revamp the presentation, with “new-construction comfort in a historic neighborhood” as the key message.
Our advice: Move out first and hand over the home completely empty, have the walls painted where necessary, and have the home styled.
Examples from our own sales.
That's all. We'll take care of the rest, and we'll send you an update after each step. That way, you can stay on top of things without having to do the work yourself.

At large real estate agencies, you’re assigned an account manager, a field agent, and a call center. With us, you’ll meet the same people over coffee who will later take your photos, show you properties, and stand by your side at the notary’s office. You’ll have their direct numbers, not a switchboard’s.
"I know this city down to the year it was built and its very foundations, and at the negotiating table, I stay calm until I've gotten everything I can out of it."

"I handle the showings and the discussions, and I effortlessly draw prospective buyers into the story of your home."
