Reviews
We had an amazing experience working with Simon as our aankoopmakelaar. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, always available, and prompt with his replies to all our questions.
Simon went above and beyond by not only helping us secure our dream home but also arranging all the necessary services like inspection and valuation. What impressed us most was his attention to detail - he personally checked every aspect of the house, pointing out things we would have never noticed ourselves. This thoroughness gave us great confidence in our purchase.
His expertise and dedication made the entire home-buying process smooth and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better makelaar and highly recommend Simon to anyone looking to buy a home in Amsterdam!
