The largest buying agent for first-time buyers

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.

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 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.
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!
Sake from HomeUp helped me fantastically. What seemed impossible became a reality: buying a house in the neighborhood where I grew up. Sake is knowledgeable, quick, and honest. Thank you!
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!
Being taken care of from start to finish.It started with a pleasant telephone conversation, nice explanation and clarity from both sides whether we wanted to do business with each other. It ended with the sale of our home to a couple who are very happy with the purchase.What was very pleasant for us was the open communication, even when we had to ask for a one-month postponement, this was possible.I recommend talking to them and seeing if the platform suits you.Thanks Sake!
From start to finish everything was well taken care of.Thank you gentlemen !!!!
Sake helped and guided me incredibly well with the purchase of my first home! He is proactive, knowledgeable, involved and always quick and accessible. I can highly recommend him!
Very professional help. Sake supported me in all aspects of the house purchase.
Very pragmatic and does everything possible to make the process go smoothly for you.
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.
Unsure where to start in the housing market? We got you.
