More stories of first-time buyers who thought it was impossible to buy a home
Great Experience. I had been looking for an apartment for almost 8 months before Nobel Mortgages recommended Sake from homeup to me and the purchase process was resolved pretty quickly after that. I had always thought that hiring a real estate agent was unnecessary and that I could just do it myself, but having a professional handle the negotiations and purchase had a great and very favorable impact on the final price for me.
We came to Sake on the recommendation of good friends, after hearing their enthusiastic stories about him. And rightly so: within a short time we too were successful in the search for our new house!
Since then we have already recommended Sake to three friends and they too have now found a home.What is so great about Sake is that he always communicates quickly and clearly. He takes care of everything and takes you by the hand during the whole buying process.
In addition, he has a fantastic network in Amsterdam, which opens many doors. In short: if you are looking for a purchase broker who is decisive, has a large network and above all is pleasant to work with, definitely call Sake!
Sake from Homeup helped me in a way that far exceeded my expectations. Thanks to his quick, clear and personal approach, I found my first home in no time, something I probably wouldn't have succeeded without Homeup. He understood exactly what I was looking for and was always there for me, even during his vacation! The guidance through the whole process was top notch: clear, smooth and without fuss. As a starter I really felt heard and helped. I recommend Homeup to anyone looking for a real estate agent who really thinks with you and fights for you!
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.
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.
We were fortunate to meet Sake during our home search.
From day one, he was very helpful, answered all our questions (and we had many!), and communicated clearly with us.
Their service was excellent, from searching for a house to signing the contract, he assisted us the entire time. Once we found our dream home, he took the initiative to negotiate the price, which was crucial in our process. Without him, we probably wouldn't have had the house we loved so much.
Their knowledge of the Dutch real estate market is impressive, which was essential for us expats. He reviewed all the documents and answered all our questions. This made us feel very comfortable during the whole process.
We felt guided and supported throughout the entire process and would highly recommend his services to anyone who wants to realize their dream of buying a home in the Netherlands!
I worked with Sake on the purchase of my first apartment here in Almere. I think it was a tremendously effortless process for me because everything was so well taken care of. Sake is a great real estate agent and can highly recommend him, especially to new buyers.
Sake helped and guided me incredibly well with the purchase of my first home! He is proactive, knowledgeable, involved and always quick and accessible. I can highly recommend him!
Provided me with excellent guidance on the purchase of my first home. Clear communication, professional and also gives unsolicited advice. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about legal advice when buying a property
Do you have legal questions when buying a house? Here you will find the answers to the most frequently asked questions. We help you to clear all your doubts and uncertainties!
A purchase agreement is a legal document that sets out the agreements between the buyer and seller of a property. It is important because it protects the rights and obligations of both parties.
Easements are rights that one person has on another's property. Consider, for example, the right of way. They can affect the sale of your home because they pass to the new owner.
A resolutive condition is a condition in the purchase agreement that gives the buyer the right to dissolve the agreement. This may be the case, for example, if the buyer is unable to complete the financing.
The cooling-off period is the period in which the buyer can dissolve the purchase agreement without giving reasons. This period is legally set at three days after receipt of the purchase agreement.
At the notary, the purchase agreement is converted into a notarial deed. This deed is registered in the Land Registry, making the transfer of ownership official.
