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 € 2,999, 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.

We found Sake on the recommendation of good friends after hearing their enthusiastic stories about him. And rightly so: we too were quickly successful in our search for our new home! Since then, we've recommended Sake to three friends, and they too have now found a home. What's so great about Sake is his quick and clear communication. He takes care of everything and guides you through the entire buying process. He also has a fantastic network in Amsterdam, which opens many doors. In short: if you're looking for a buyer's agent who is decisive, has a large network, and, above all, is a pleasure to work with, definitely call Sake!

Sake was simply fantastic. As an expat buying a house in Amsterdam, it was a world we didn't fully understand. Sake helped us through every step of the buying process, making it an easy and relaxing experience. I will definitely use Sake's services again.

I had an excellent experience with Sake! From our first meeting to receiving the keys, the entire process took less than a month—an incredibly fast and smooth process. Sake was friendly, helpful, and professional throughout the entire 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. This made the process comfortable and stress-free. When I was ready, he seamlessly took over the negotiations and closing, ensuring a fair deal. His expertise and efficiency made all the difference. Thank you, Sake, for your excellent service! Highly recommended.
