Dutch estate agent
Buying a house in the Netherlands
Finding the right home is quite a challenge. You are suddenly faced with lots of questions. Where do you want to live? Which property would suit you best? An apartment or a detached house? How many rooms do you need? In which area do you want to live? Of course, you will want to know beforehand what is financially possible. If you have worked and lived in the Netherlands for six months or longer, you may be eligible to buy a house! However, there are a lot of things to consider. A buying agent or real estate agent can help you during the whole process. Dutch estate agents are called makelaar.
Real estate agent
Using a real estate agent is very common in the Netherlands, and is advisable, particularly for those who are new to the country or are not fluent in Dutch. It’s common to have both a buyer’s agent and a seller’s agent, and each will have different roles in the transaction and have to be paid separately. Why utilize a Dutch buying agent:
• Expertise in the housing market.
• Insight into the real value of properties.
• A lower purchase price than you would realise.
• The buying agent is able to translate for you.
• Essential information about the property regarding ownership and land registry. This is important as it is possible to buy a property without having the right to live in it.
• Representation of your interests as a buyer and help negotiating.
• Save time by having everything handled professionally.
• Professional completion of the deal.

Pit Makelaar was amazing. Very good communication and very reactive. I found my apartment very quick and they handle the whole process for me. I was abroad during the process and to have them doing everything here was a great help. I really recommend!

Anita and the Pit Staff are all very knowledgeable in their field. From the moment we met Anita, she was positive in what she saw in our home. She knew how to market and present our home. We are extremely happy that we chose her and her staff. We would highly recommend her & the staff to our friends, especially if they are foreigners, as her English and culture awareness is excellent.

Pit Makelaars were extremely helpful and supportive and offer a lot in their services. For me, the process was very quick as they helped me to buy the first house I viewed, so I feel like I did not get to experience the full effect of their services.
