Niels Bakker

My name is Niels Bakker, and I work since 1995 in real estate. I started out in residential and commercial real estate (SMEs) as both an agent and appraiser. For the past several years, I’ve focused exclusively on residential real estate.

With a background in construction and engineering, I bring extra insight when evaluating older homes. I completed my real estate education in the early 1990s, which is when I first entered the property market. I began in project development, and in 2000, I made the switch to what I believe is the most rewarding part of real estate: helping people find a home. I’ve had a long-standing interest in historic buildings, and in 2007 I became a certified register broker (RM) through VastgoedCert.

I’ve watched the real estate profession evolve significantly. With the rise of the internet, property listings became more transparent. As a result, homebuyers began expecting more than just access to the latest listings. Today’s buyers are more informed and ask the right questions — and they deserve an agent who can meet that standard.

That’s why I decided to take a different path. I chose to specialise so I could offer better service to buyers. When I launched Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam in 2012, I made a conscious decision to remain independent. We don’t sell homes or financial products, which means we focus only on one thing: your best interest as a buyer.

You can count on our team for expertise, integrity, objectivity, personal attention, flexibility, and quick action. Our mission is to save you time, money, and stress during the buying process. We’re only satisfied when you are.
