Why first-time buyers fail in the housing market
As a starter, you have to do everything right at once. There is no room for error.
- You bid too high and lose your savings
- Real estate agents use terms you don’t understand
- Legal documents are in Dutch, complicated and risky
One wrong choice can cost you thousands of euros.
And without guidance, you are on your own.
Most starters do this without help. Or rely on friends or parents who did it themselves years ago. But the market has changed.
Bidding goes faster
Sometimes you only have a couple of hours to make a decision. Without knowledge, you make mistakes.
Competition is higher
Dozens of bidders on one house. Without a strategy, you lose again and again.
Small mistakes, big consequences
A wrong contingency or an offer that’s too high can cost you thousands of euros.

More stories from starters who thought it was impossible
Owning a home in Amsterdam started as a dream and has now become a reality thanks to Sake's excellent guidance and quick turnaround. There's a lot to take in when buying a (first) home, and Sake was incredibly helpful with all the questions I had.
I'm a foreigner living in the Netherlands, and working with Sake as my real estate agent was an absolute game-changer. Making a big decision like buying a house abroad can be difficult, but he made the whole process go smoothly. From the beginning, he took the time to understand my needs and concerns, especially given my unfamiliarity with the Dutch real estate market. He explained every step clearly and thoroughly and was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small. His expertise and knowledge of the local market were invaluable and definitely helped me secure a fantastic house at a great price!
As an American living in the Netherlands, I was convinced that owning a home in Amsterdam was a distant dream, especially given the competitive market and my budget. I had almost given up on the idea of buying a home, believing it was simply unattainable—until I met Sake from HomeUp.
From the very beginning, Sake was not only knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly supportive and reassuring. He took the time to understand my concerns and truly grasped what I was looking for in a home. Despite my initial doubts, he encouraged me to trust the process, and I’m so grateful that I did.
Thanks to Sake’s guidance, I am now a proud homeowner in Amsterdam—something I never thought possible as a millennial, especially in this market. His expertise and dedication turned what seemed like an impossible task into something not only achievable, but also smooth and stress-free.
If you’re looking to buy a home in the Netherlands, I wholeheartedly recommend Sake and HomeUp. He made my dream of owning a home a reality, and for that I will always be grateful.

Do you still have doubts? This is what starters often ask
But aren't you coming with me to viewings?
No, and that's actually efficient. You see for yourself, we advise immediately afterwards. This way, you can switch faster and you won't miss any opportunities.
Is online guidance enough?
Yes, you actually have more contact with us than with traditional agents. We’re available via phone, WhatsApp, and email whenever you need us.
What if I don't buy anything?
Then you pay nothing. No cure, no pay. We're at the same risk as you. This motivates us to do what's best for you.
When can you be reached?
Even in the evening. We know that houses go fast and you need an immediate answer.
How fast can I get started?
Immediately. Schedule a free call and we'll call you within 24 hours or whenever it suits you. No waiting times, no hassle.
