Homeup biedt uitstekende service tijdens uw huizenjacht. Sake is zeer professioneel en ervaren en geeft het beste advies. Billy is ook uitzonderlijk en staat altijd klaar om te helpen. Ik kan Homeup en hun diensten van harte aanbevelen.
Sake was very helpful from the moment I met him. He charges reasonable rates and helped me find the apartment I wanted the first time. He really knows how to interact with expats and handles everything without too much hassle for people new to the Dutch real estate market. He also connected me with a mortgage advisor who offered us a very reasonable interest rate (the lowest you can get in the current market). I highly recommend Sake to anyone who wants to buy a property, especially in a competitive market like Amsterdam.
It was a fantastic experience having Sake as our real estate agent! He makes what seems complicated seem easy, takes the time to explain everything, and offers excellent advice. We found our house within a few months, and throughout the entire process, he was always available and quick to respond whenever we needed him.
