What do we offer as a buying agent?
This is how we make a difference for startups:
Legal and administrative assistance
Buying a house involves many legal documents. We make sure you don't get lost in the legal maze and help you understand everything so you can sign with confidence.
Priority on our exclusive fixed-price offer
Do you engage us as a buying agent? Then you get priority on our exclusive housing offer, with houses for fixed prices. This way you increase the chance of finding your dream house, without the stress of (over)bidding.
Objective and honest advice
We guide you with objective and honest advice. We will help you see the pros and cons, give you tips for sustainability and advise you on a strong offer.
Offer without reservation of financing
An experienced mortgage advisor will give you a clear picture of what you can borrow and the monthly costs associated with it, free of charge. That way, you can make an offer without any reservations about financing. That makes it more likely that you will be the buyer.
What does a buying agent actually do?
Purchase broker
Purchase brokers guide you from start to key when buying a house. For example, they help share potential houses, advise during the process, conduct negotiations and accompany you to viewings. On average, this costs about €4,000.
The homeup approach
We help you find and buy a home digitally. For only € 2,749, you get all the advice and guidance you need online. The only difference with other (more expensive) purchase brokers is that we do not accompany you to a viewing.
Self viewings
We believe that you yourself have the best sense of what you are looking for in a property. That's why we don't go along with viewings. That saves you a lot of money. But no worries: we will prepare you and give you tips on what to look for...,
Architectural report
With an architectural report, we can also always do additional research into the condition of the home you have your eye on. This way we can give you good advice, for example about the price and the possibilities of making the house more sustainable.
Online purchase guidance so you buy a house faster
We know the market and your struggles as a starter very well. If we start working for you as a purchase broker, you will have priority on our exclusive housing offer and we will also help you search through Funda and other platforms for a home that suits your living requirements.
And the best part: with our mortgage certificate you are guaranteed a mortgage. So you have your mortgage even before your search begins.
More stories of first-time buyers who thought it was impossible to buy a home
We came to Sake on the recommendation of good friends, after hearing their enthusiastic stories about him. And rightly so: within a short time we too were successful in the search for our new house!
Since then we have already recommended Sake to three friends and they too have now found a home.What is so great about Sake is that he always communicates quickly and clearly. He takes care of everything and takes you by the hand during the whole buying process.
In addition, he has a fantastic network in Amsterdam, which opens many doors. In short: if you are looking for a purchase broker who is decisive, has a large network and above all is pleasant to work with, definitely call Sake!
Great experience!!! I highly recommend it. I worked with Billy on the purchase of my first apartment. He understood all my preferences well and gave a comprehensive list of options, which helped in buying the apartment I loved. Billy guided me well throughout the process and patiently answered all my questions. He also helped me with translations (from Dutch to English) of key parts of the documents and made sure everything went to my liking. Thank you for the exceptional service!
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!
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.
Thanks to Sake's quick turnaround, we were able to buy the house of our dreams after only the second offer. As starters, there were many things we knew little about, but Sake took the time to take us fully through the process. That gave us a familiar and reassuring feeling. Thank you Sake!
House sold with Homeup. The process went smoothly and I got a higher amount than expected.
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.
Incredibly happy with Billy, helped us very well and was available for all questions!
Very nicely helped by Sake in our search! He switches super fast with the right parties and takes a lot out of our hands. Because of his expertise we never worried for a moment and are enjoying our new home!
Unsure where to start in the housing market? We got you.
