Purchasing a home in Amsterdam

There is a shortage on the Amsterdam housing market, that’s common knowledge. Luckily, we also know how to find you a suitable home. Our priority is to understand your housing requirements – our motto is ‘the people come first; the bricks come second’. That helps you stay true to your own requirements and to your budget throughout the entire process. Sometimes you must act quickly and sometimes you must be patient. Eventually we almost always succeed, and we ensure the best possible deal.

Four steps to purchasing your home

Stap 1 Stap 2 Stap 3 Stap 4

Step 1

Getting started

What makes your home a home?
Within which parameters may we start searching for you?
Once we get to work, we register you in our system
You are automatically shown the suitable homes on offer, often before they appear on Funda: so, there’s no more need for you to search yourself
We see the same offer and, of course, we proactively look with you
We also utilise our estate agents’ network in our search for your new home

Step 2

Viewing

Have you seen something you like? Our sales department is ready to set up a viewing for you
We prefer to accompany you to assess the home from our professional point of view. Do you prefer to do the first viewing on your own? Then we will accompany you on your second viewing.
We look with the critical eye of an estate agent and advise on a building survey, if necessary

Step 3

Advice and negotiation

We will find out everything about the home, from land-registry details to the owners’ association: nobody wants to buy a lemon
When you give us the go-ahead, we will start bidding. And we enjoy that: we’re keen negotiators and we know how to keep our cool
We don’t charge a percentage, which means we always go for the lowest purchase price under the best circumstances

Step 4

Purchase

Congratulations!
In many cases you are free to choose your own notary, we can help you with that
We will guide you through the notary process and ensure all the paperwork is in order
Once the finances are sorted, we’ll inspect the home together one more time â€“ is everything the same as it was at the viewing?
After the final documents have been signed, you are handed those much-coveted keys
Of course, we remain available for questions and advice, even after the transfer
