What is a viewing and what should I look for?

What should you look for in a viewing?
Check the condition of the property
Look carefully at the condition of the home. Are there any cracks, leaks or other defects? We'll help you spot them.
Pay attention to the environment
The neighborhood is as important as the house itself. Is it quiet? Are there stores nearby?
Ask the right questions
Questions about maintenance, neighbors or future plans in the neighborhood? We'll make sure you don't overlook anything.

More stories of first-time buyers who thought it was impossible to buy a home
Sake helped us close on our dream home, where we didn't get a viewing until the day of the bid closing.
Although it was slightly outside his scope of work and not the most interesting offer, he managed to convince the selling broker to recommend us to the seller.
I would recommend him to help other expats in their search for a house in the Netherlands.
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.
We bought our house with Sake's help. It couldn't have been any quicker. We had met him in the morning, had a viewing in the afternoon, made an offer and the next day it was accepted.
Sake made sure the process was effortless. He helped us every step of the way and arranged everything (he put us in touch with a mortgage broker, a building inspection, a notary, etc.).
Absolutely worth the investment. Highly recommended!
Oh, and at the end he gave us a bottle of champagne and a handy checklist of the next steps after the key transfer.
It was a great experience to have Sake as our real estate agent! He makes what seems complicated easy, takes the time to explain everything and gives his advice. We found our home within a few months and throughout the trip he was always available and responsive when we needed him. We definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home. Thank you Sake!
Really great help from Sake with the purchase of our first house. Buying a house can be very stressful at times. Sake has a lot of expertise and is always calm which is very nice at such moments ;) he is easy to reach and switches very quickly. In addition, he put us in touch with several relevant parties which made the whole purchase go smoothly. I will definitely use homeup again the next time we buy a house!
I had an excellent experience with Sake!
From our first meeting to receiving the house keys, the entire process took less than a month - an incredibly quick and smooth process. Sake was friendly, helpful and professional throughout the 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. That made the process comfortable and stress-free. When I was ready, he took over the negotiations and closing seamlessly, making a fair deal. His expertise and efficiency made all the difference.
Thank you, Sake, for your excellent service! Highly recommended.
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!
We were very well guided in buying our first home, very nice!
Sake was very helpful from the first moment I met him. He charges reasonable rates and helped me find the apartment I wanted in one go. He really knows how to deal with an expat and arranges everything without too much hassle for people who are new to the Dutch real estate market. He also put me in touch with a mortgage broker who offered us a very reasonable interest rate (the lowest you can get in the current market conditions). I highly recommend everyone to consult Sake during their real estate purchase, especially in a competitive market like Amsterdam.
