Selling or buying a home in Amsterdam. Without the sleepless nights.
We are Micha, Erik, Lisa and Hadewij. Four familiar faces, from the first conversation to the key handover. You always know where you stand, we take care of the rest.
Choose your route, and you will know right away where you need to be.
I want to sell
From an honest market valuation to the signature at the civil-law notary.
I want to buy
We search with you, look critically and negotiate sharply.
What is your home worth?
Enter your address and within one working day you will receive a realistic value indication for your home. Want to know exactly? Then we will visit you for a free market valuation at home.
No obligations. Your details are treated confidentially.
The four of us. And it stays that way.
Because we are not a big agency, everyone here knows who you are and knows your home, whether you are buying, selling or letting with us. So we always know exactly where things stand. Hadewij takes the photos, and Micha, Erik or Lisa is your own agent, from the first conversation to the key handover. You always know who you are dealing with, and you can simply message us on WhatsApp. In the evening too.

Selling or buying sounds simple. Until it is your home.
"What is my home really worth?"
"What if I ask too little? Or too much, and nothing happens for months?"
"Where do I find the time?"
That unease is normal. And it disappears as soon as someone takes over who does this every week.
The only question is: who?
We turn your home into an advertisement.
Hadewij photographs your home at the right moment of the day. We write the text, choose the order of the photos and put your home on funda as if it were a campaign. More serious viewers, better offers.
You open the door for the photographer and later sign at the civil-law notary. We do the rest, and you hear from us after every step.
Curious what a 1% fee means for your home?
Buying a home in Amsterdam, with someone by your side.
We start with a conversation about what you are looking for and what is realistic in this market. Then we search with you, view critically, check the structural condition and the foundation, and negotiate sharply.
That way you buy with knowledge of the city, without a rushed decision and without overbidding becoming a gamble.

What you won't experience with us.
Four differences you'll notice, from the first photo to the last viewing.
With many estate agents: Photos in the rain, because the photographer happened to be free on Tuesday.
With us: Hadewij, our own photographer, waits for the sun and picks the hour when the light shows your home at its best.
With many estate agents: A standard text and photos in random order.
With us: We turn your funda page into an advertisement: every photo on point, every sentence considered, the order carefully chosen.
With many estate agents: Loose photos from which no buyer understands the layout.
With us: A 3D tour and mood video with every sale. Viewers walk through your home online first, so whoever comes to see it is serious.
With many estate agents: A colleague who sees your home for the first time as they open the door.
With us: All four of us know your home before it goes online. Whoever a buyer gets on the phone or at the door, the answer is right there.

We are 100% focused on the Amsterdam area.
We focus entirely on this city, because we know it like no one else. From the foundation under a canal house to the neighbourhood where your balcony gets the longest sun in summer.
We know which neighbourhoods are developing well and what that does to property values. That knowledge goes into every market valuation, every viewing and every negotiation.
Know how the Amsterdam market works before you start.
We write about what we really see happening at viewings and negotiations. No general tips, but the things that make the difference in Amsterdam.
Everything you want to know before you call.
What does an estate agent cost with you?
When you sell, you pay a fixed fee of 1% of the sale price, including VAT. That price is simply listed here on the site, so you do not have to wait until an estate agent has visited. For purchase guidance, you pay from €3,500 all-in for homes up to €1 million. Above that, we agree one clear tailored price upfront.
How quickly will I hear from you?
The same day. Send us a message through the site, by email or on WhatsApp, and on working days you will hear back the same day from one of the four of us. No call centre or complicated system, just someone from the team who thinks along with you.
What happens during the free introduction?
We come to your kitchen table, or you drop by at our office on the Singel. Within an hour you know what your home is worth, or what your wishes and budget mean in the current market. Free, and without any obligation.
What does the process look like?
It starts with an introduction, where we value your home and make a plan together. Then Hadewij photographs your home, we write the text, and the same agent who sat at your table puts it on funda. We handle the viewings, negotiate with buyers and guide you through to the key handover at the notary. If you are buying, it is just as personal: searching, viewing, checking critically and bidding sharply, until you have the keys.
Why is your fee lower than with many other estate agents?
Because we are a small team without expensive field staff or hired photographers. The four of us do everything ourselves, which saves costs that other agencies pass on. The same work, with more attention, for a sharper price.
Do you also help with buying a home?
Yes. We search with you, view critically, check the structural condition and negotiate sharply. That way you buy with knowledge of the Amsterdam market, without rushed decisions.
Can I also rent out my home through you?
Yes. Besides selling and buying, we also rent out homes in Amsterdam, from finding a reliable tenant to the contracts. Selling and buying are our main work, but for renting out you deal with the same team.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Amsterdam, from De Pijp to Noord, and also Amstelveen and Diemen.
The coffee is ready.
In a few months the deed is signed and the keys are handed over. And you wonder why you dreaded it so much. The first step is a small one: a free introduction, at your home or at our office on the Singel. Within an hour you know where you stand.
