We also offer a no-obligation buying consultation.
About Amsterdam Centrum
Living in Amsterdam’s canal belt is a dream for many, but it requires careful preparation and financial planning. Many of the historic buildings in the city center date back to the 15th or 16th century, offering a unique living experience. A grand canal house provides luxury and space, a central location, and often a charming inner garden. The stable property values of these stately buildings reflect their desirability, but a structural inspection is always recommended before making a purchase.
For buyers looking for more affordable options, Amsterdam Centrum still has plenty to offer. From charming city apartments in the Jordaan to converted warehouses in the Eastern Docklands, there are many unique properties with character.

Reviews
Mijn man en ik zijn expats uit het Verenigd Koninkrijk en in januari begonnen we met het zoeken naar ons eerste huis in Amsterdam. We hebben een geweldige ervaring met Tabitha gehad. Omdat het onze eerste keer was dat we een huis kochten, had ze veel geduld, hielp ze ons met al onze vragen en stond ze ons bij tijdens onze zenuwslopende momenten.
Tijdens het zoek- en biedingsproces werkte ze erg mee en ging ze een stapje verder, maar ze was ook erg realistisch en pragmatisch, wat we nodig hadden. Na de bieding begeleidde ze ons door elke stap van het proces, zelfs op gebieden die geen directe invloed hadden op haar rol (bijvoorbeeld het regelen van nutsvoorzieningen/inschrijving bij de gemeente), wat erg nuttig was.
We raden haar van harte aan iedereen aan!
