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.

Buying a house in Amsterdam is quite an experience. It took us 8 months and the support of Sake and his team was essential. We are very satisfied with their service.

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!

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!

Fantastic help from the guys from Homeup! Thanks to Sake's expertise and great communication, we felt confident throughout the whole process. We do not know if we would have succeeded in buying our house without his help. Sake, thank you very much! Highly recommend these guys;)

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!
