More stories of first-time buyers who thought it was impossible to buy a home
Really great help from Sake with the purchase of our first house. Buying a house can be very stressful at times. Sake has a lot of expertise and is always calm which is very nice at such moments ;) he is easy to reach and switches very quickly. In addition, he put us in touch with several relevant parties which made the whole purchase go smoothly. I will definitely use homeup again the next time we buy a house!
Homeup guided the sale of our apartment. Mr. Brouwer of homeup was knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions and provide the necessary information. Appointments were kept punctually. In other words, I highly recommend this real estate agent.
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.
We were fortunate to meet Sake during our home search.
From day one, he was very helpful, answered all our questions (and we had many!), and communicated clearly with us.
Their service was excellent, from searching for a house to signing the contract, he assisted us the entire time. Once we found our dream home, he took the initiative to negotiate the price, which was crucial in our process. Without him, we probably wouldn't have had the house we loved so much.
Their knowledge of the Dutch real estate market is impressive, which was essential for us expats. He reviewed all the documents and answered all our questions. This made us feel very comfortable during the whole process.
We felt guided and supported throughout the entire process and would highly recommend his services to anyone who wants to realize their dream of buying a home in the Netherlands!
Very pleasantly helped by Sake with the purchase of our first house. Good communication, friendly and professional!
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!
I had a very good experience with Homeup when selling my apartment in Amsterdam, and then also when buying a new apartment. The sales process went smoothly and I got a decent price for my apartment. Everything was very well organized by Homeup. Sake from homeup was extremely professional and showed a lot of commitment. He was active and proactive in the sales process, so everything went smoothly. I can definitely recommend homeup to anyone who wants a smooth selling experience when selling their apartment.
Great Experience. I had been looking for an apartment for almost 8 months before Nobel Mortgages recommended Sake from homeup to me and the purchase process was resolved pretty quickly after that. I had always thought that hiring a real estate agent was unnecessary and that I could just do it myself, but having a professional handle the negotiations and purchase had a great and very favorable impact on the final price for me.
Unsure where to start in the housing market? We got you.
