More stories of first-time buyers who thought it was impossible to buy a home
Highly recommended. I used their services to assist me in purchasing a home. Their quick response, attention to detail and availability made all the difference in my bid and purchase of my home. My realtor was Sake, a fantastic realtor, super efficient and always willing to discuss any concerns and offer his own opinion.
Homeup offers excellent service during your house hunt. Sake is very professional and experienced and gives the best advice. Billy is also exceptional and is always ready to help. I highly recommend Homeup and their services.
We recently purchased a home through Home UP and it really went flawlessly. Billy's clear explanations and honesty allowed us to know immediately what we needed to consider, what costs would be incurred and allowed us, as first-time buyers, to learn what it is like to buy a home. Billy was always easy to reach and responded directly and clearly which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Thanks to Home UP we were able to make the start we were so looking forward to and because of their concept we as buyers did not have to worry that someone would outbid us far beyond our budget.
Sake was just fantastic. As an expat buying a house in Amsterdam, it was a world we didn't fully understand. Sake helped us every step of the purchase process, making it an easy and relaxing experience. I will definitely use Sake again for his services.
Through Billy from Homeup, my apartment sold very quickly (within 3 weeks). I was approached by him and wanted to give this way of selling a chance. I haven't regretted it for a moment. Billy is very committed, honest, precise, easily accessible and does what he says. In short, a very competent and reliable real estate agent. I really like Homeup's commitment to first-time buyers and it is very nice that viewings are serious because they are already known to Homeup and pre-screened on their finances. This allows a sale/purchase to be completed quickly. And that's how it went! I have found this cooperation to be very positive and recommend Homeup and this way of selling to everyone.
Very nice contact with Sake as the selling party's broker! Approachable and quick communication and always enthusiastic & friendly. He was available for all tips and questions I had as a starter. Fine first experience in the housing market!
Great experience, Sake and Billy were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from the first meeting, where Sake explained to us how buying a house in the Netherlands works, to the signature at the end of the notary appointment for the key transfer.
They made a huge difference, especially in the bidding process, where we were able to be competitive and eventually secure our new apartment in Almere!
Thank you so much to Sake, Billy and the whole HomeUp team for the great support! I would recommend them to anyone interested in buying a home/apartment.
Keep up the good work, guys!
Sake was very helpful from the first moment I met him. He charges reasonable rates and helped me find the apartment I wanted in one go. He really knows how to deal with an expat and arranges everything without too much hassle for people who are new to the Dutch real estate market. He also put me in touch with a mortgage broker who offered us a very reasonable interest rate (the lowest you can get in the current market conditions). I highly recommend everyone to consult Sake during their real estate purchase, especially in a competitive market like Amsterdam.
I worked with Sake on the purchase of my first apartment here in Almere. I think it was a tremendously effortless process for me because everything was so well taken care of. Sake is a great real estate agent and can highly recommend him, especially to new buyers.
