Decide how to buy your first home
Exclusive homes at a fixed price
We actively look for homes for people who buy first. The best part? We make overbidding unnecessary. That's how we make buying a home feasible again.
Bidding from with priority for social tenants
Do you live in social housing and want to move to a house for sale? Then you get priority with us!
Direction set? Here's how you buy your first home with us
We take a different approach than traditional real estate agents. We actively search for homes to offer to new buyers on the housing market. For a fixed price. And with priority for first-time buyers.That way you don't have to overbid and buying your first home becomes feasible again.
Create a search profile
Let us know your housing preferences such as location, price range and housing type. Based on your housing requirements, we will automatically forward you suitable properties.
Your mortgage around before you look
Bidding without the reservation of financing? That's a big risk. If the sale does not go through, you pay a penalty of 10% of the purchase price.Together with our mortgage advisor and a well-known bank, we offer the mortgage certificate that gives you a guaranteed mortgage upfront.
Contact and house viewing
Housing match? We will contact you. At a time that suits you. So you can view the property.
Confirm the property
After the viewing, let us know if you want to buy the property. Yes? Then we will guide you through the follow-up process and ensure a stress-free purchase.
Unforgettable day!
It's done: the house is yours. Time to give it your own design. Enjoy your new life as a homeowner!

More stories from starters who thought it was impossible
Homeup biedt uitstekende service tijdens uw huizenjacht. Sake is zeer professioneel en ervaren en geeft het beste advies. Billy is ook uitzonderlijk en staat altijd klaar om te helpen. Ik kan Homeup en hun diensten van harte aanbevelen.
Sake was very helpful from the moment I met him. He charges reasonable rates and helped me find the apartment I wanted the first time. He really knows how to interact with expats and handles everything without too much hassle for people new to the Dutch real estate market. He also connected me with a mortgage advisor who offered us a very reasonable interest rate (the lowest you can get in the current market). I highly recommend Sake to anyone who wants to buy a property, especially in a competitive market like Amsterdam.
It was a fantastic experience having Sake as our real estate agent! He makes what seems complicated seem easy, takes the time to explain everything, and offers excellent advice. We found our house within a few months, and throughout the entire process, he was always available and quick to respond whenever we needed him. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home. Thanks, Sake!
Sake was incredibly helpful and guided me through the purchase of my first home! He's proactive, knowledgeable, dedicated, and always quick and easy to reach. I highly recommend him!
Sake from HomeUp helped me tremendously. What seemed impossible became a reality: buying a house in the neighborhood where I grew up. Sake is knowledgeable, fast, and honest. Thank you!
He provided excellent guidance in buying my first home. Clear communication, professionalism, and unsolicited advice. Highly recommended!
Sake was incredibly helpful! Without his expertise and dedication, finding a home that perfectly matched our needs and budget would have been much more difficult and time-consuming. We are incredibly grateful for his help and the fact that we could always contact him with our questions. He actively contributed ideas, gave honest advice, and was always available when needed. Truly fantastic!
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.
Sake provided truly fantastic help with the purchase of our first home. Buying a house can be quite stressful at times, so there's a lot to take in. Sake has a wealth of expertise and is always calm, which is incredibly helpful in those moments. He's easily accessible and responds quickly. He also connected us with several relevant parties, making the entire purchase process smooth. I will definitely use HomeUp again when we buy our next home!
How we help you buy a house as a starter
Most asked questions about buying a house
Questions, doubts, vague real estate jargon: when you're about to buy a house, there's quite a lot on your mind. In addition to personal advice at every step of the process, we answer all your pressing (as well as less pressing) questions.
How to buy a home as a starter
After researching your financial options and calculating your maximum mortgage, you will enter the market. Hiring an estate agent is a smart move if you are buying your first house. We help you find and buy your first (dream) house within your budget.
How does the process of buying a house work?
Create a search profile, view properties that suit you, confirm your interest in a property and be guided every step of the way.
What is the difference between your exclusive housing offerings and the houses on Funda?
HomeUp's exclusive housing offer consists of houses that you won't find on Funda or other platforms. Especially selected for starters looking for a house via homeup.
Do you also offer support in arranging a mortgage?
We specialize in selling houses. So we are not a mortgage broker ourselves, but we do work with licensed and reliable mortgage brokers who can arrange a mortgage for you.
What happens if there are multiple interested parties for the same property?
We only schedule a small number of viewings per property. That way we avoid having to disappoint people. Are there many interested parties? Then we let the seller choose or look at the date of registration. Whoever registered for the property first is the lucky one.
How can I update my search profile if my housing needs change?
You can always contact us to adjust your search profile or communicate your new housing needs to us.
