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.

We had a really good experience with Sake. Being expats his expertise was fundamental.

I recently had the pleasure of working with homeup, and I must say, my entire real estate journey exceeded all expectations.

Not only did the house search go quickly, but because of homeup we were able to buy the house for a fixed price, so we didn't have to overbid.

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!

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.

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.

We received fantastic help from Billy. He called us because he saw a house come by that completely met our needs. A few days later we sat down with the mortgage broker and made an offer. It was an instant hit! Billy guided us very nicely through the whole process. I would recommend home up to anyone!

Sake helped us tremendously! Without his expertise and commitment, finding a house that perfectly matched our wishes and budget would have been much more difficult and would have taken much more time. We are very grateful for his help and the fact that we could always come to him with our questions. He actively thought along, gave honest advice and was always ready when needed. Really great!

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!
