The largest buying agent for first-time buyers
Could you use some help in the search for your first home of your own? If you use us as your buying agent, you not only get priority on our unique housing offer, but also a free financial screening and mortgage certificate. This allows you to move quickly and increases your chances on the housing market.
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
It was a great experience to have Sake as our real estate agent! He makes what seems complicated easy, takes the time to explain everything and gives his advice. We found our home within a few months and throughout the trip he was always available and responsive when we needed him. We definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home. Thank you Sake!
We bought our house with Sake's help. It couldn't have been any quicker. We had met him in the morning, had a viewing in the afternoon, made an offer and the next day it was accepted.
Sake made sure the process was effortless. He helped us every step of the way and arranged everything (he put us in touch with a mortgage broker, a building inspection, a notary, etc.).
Absolutely worth the investment. Highly recommended!
Oh, and at the end he gave us a bottle of champagne and a handy checklist of the next steps after the key transfer.
I had an excellent experience with Sake!
From our first meeting to receiving the house keys, the entire process took less than a month - an incredibly quick and smooth process. Sake was friendly, helpful and professional throughout the process, making me feel supported every step of the way.
I especially appreciated his approach, giving me the freedom to view the house at my own pace and on my own schedule. That made the process comfortable and stress-free. When I was ready, he took over the negotiations and closing seamlessly, making a fair deal. His expertise and efficiency made all the difference.
Thank you, Sake, for your excellent service! Highly recommended.
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.
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.
Within 2 months we had found our home! In terms of costs and benefits, HomeUp is an excellent choice. We were very clear about which package was most beneficial to us. Should (or when) we decide we need to switch, we will definitely choose HomeUp again.
Thanks!!!
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.
Last month we managed to secure our first house for sale in Amsterdam with the help of Sake from Homeup. The process went very smoothly and the guidance throughout the period worked perfectly for us. We could ask all our questions and we received good and critical feedback. We have now moved into our house (very happy!) and we are extremely grateful to Homeup for the pleasant purchase guidance. Highly recommended for every starter!
We can highly recommend Sake from Homeup B.V.! His support was fantastic from the beginning. He took the time to understand our wants and needs for a new home and his communication was crystal clear throughout the process. Thanks to his ability to explain everything in an understandable way, we never felt lost or confused, even as expats who don't speak Dutch.
In the end, we won our dream home with a successful bid and we are convinced that this would not have been possible without his expertise. Not only did he secure the house, but he did it efficiently, making the process run smoothly and avoiding unnecessary delays.
The icing on the cake? Sake works with fair and honest prices. We are thrilled with our new home and thank Sake for his incredible service. If you are looking for a real estate agent who is helpful, communicative, competent and gets the best results, look no further! My husband and I will definitely recommend Sake to all of our close friends.
Unsure where to start in the housing market? We got you.
