Why starters 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 talk in terms that you does not know
- Legal documents are complicated and risky
One wrong choice can cost you thousands of dollars.
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 is faster
Sometimes you only have hours to make a decision. Without knowledge, you make mistakes.
Competition is higher
Dozens of bidders on one home. Without a strategy, you lose time and time again.
Small mistakes, big consequences
A wrong reservation or too high a bid can cost you thousands of euros.

More stories from starters who thought it was impossible
Sake helped us close on our dream house, where we didn't get a viewing until the closing date. Although it was a bit outside his area and not the most attractive offer, he convinced the selling agent to recommend us to the seller. I would recommend him to other expats in their search for a home in the Netherlands.
We found our home within two months! HomeUp is an excellent choice in terms of cost-benefit ratio. We were clearly told which package was most advantageous for us. If (or when) we decide to switch, we will definitely choose HomeUp again. Thank you!!!
Buying a house in Amsterdam is quite an experience. It took us eight months, and the support from Sake and his team was essential. We are very satisfied with their service.

“From my own experience, I have noticed that owning a home brings trust, happiness and pleasure. That's why we want to achieve this for more starters, that's how homeup came about”.

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 — in fact, you are in contact more often than with traditional brokers. We can be reached by phone, whatsapp and mail, whenever you need it.
What if I don't buy anything?
Then you pay nothing. No cure, no pay. We're at the same risk as you — that 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 that 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.
