Review

The service offered during the rental of my apartment was perfect again. Just like during the purchase process earlier this year, everything went smoothly and professionally. Migiel is reliable, involved, and experienced. It's a pleasure to work with him.

Review

Pleasant to deal with. We have repeatedly received good and professional advice from this real estate agent, Gaby Balkema, with the right conclusions and practical applications attached. Even during the coronavirus period, the right decisions were made and good advice was followed.

Migiel is the best ever! He and his team assisted us throughout the entire process, providing all necessary information about the houses and scheduling appointments. He accompanied us on the visits and pointed out things you might miss if you go alone. He provides very precise information about the real value of the house and what would make sense in terms of an offer. This is the second time we have him supporting us and if we ever buy again, we will call him again!

Review

Migiel was an amazing adviser throughout our house search. I am convinced that we wouldn't have been successful at buying a house in the crazy Amsterdam market without him. His company provided us with a regular email with all the houses that fit our criteria. They would arrange viewings, and Migiel would join us personally on each one. With his years of experience, he was able to pick up on issues that we may have missed - like the stability of floors, or the amount of repair work that would be needed in a house to get it up to standard (and how much that would cost). He gave us detailed insight on how much we would need to put up in order to make a realistic bid, and took care of the entire bidding process. Though it might seem like a significant expense to tack on to an already pricey endeavor, I genuinely believe it is essential to success in the current market. Another great thing about Migiel and his company is that their fee is a percentage of the asking price of the house - meaning, it doesn't increase if you end up having to bid higher (as is commonly the case). This is great, because you can be assured that Migiel does not have an incentive to get you to bid higher - if he recommends it, it's because that is what is needed to realistically get the house. Fully recommend Migiel and Thuis in Vasthoed!

Gaby has helped us very competently with the purchase of our house. He has a lot of experience and knowledge (which you notice in the conversations) and has especially helped us very well to determine the amount of our offer! Without his knowledge and the information he gave us, we would not have made this offer and this house would most likely have passed us by. Also, he has helped us very well with the process after our offer was accepted. He took care of contact with the tax assessor / notary himself, which was very pleasant. Overall a very good experience!
