More stories of first-time buyers who thought it was impossible to buy a home
We recently purchased a home through Home UP and it really went flawlessly. Billy's clear explanations and honesty allowed us to know immediately what we needed to consider, what costs would be incurred and allowed us, as first-time buyers, to learn what it is like to buy a home. Billy was always easy to reach and responded directly and clearly which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Thanks to Home UP we were able to make the start we were so looking forward to and because of their concept we as buyers did not have to worry that someone would outbid us far beyond our budget.
Great experience, Sake and Billy were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from the first meeting, where Sake explained to us how buying a house in the Netherlands works, to the signature at the end of the notary appointment for the key transfer.
They made a huge difference, especially in the bidding process, where we were able to be competitive and eventually secure our new apartment in Almere!
Thank you so much to Sake, Billy and the whole HomeUp team for the great support! I would recommend them to anyone interested in buying a home/apartment.
Keep up the good work, guys!
Sake from HomeUp helped me fantastically. What seemed impossible became a reality: buying a house in the neighborhood where I grew up. Sake is knowledgeable, quick, and honest. Thank you!
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!
Being taken care of from start to finish.It started with a pleasant telephone conversation, nice explanation and clarity from both sides whether we wanted to do business with each other. It ended with the sale of our home to a couple who are very happy with the purchase.What was very pleasant for us was the open communication, even when we had to ask for a one-month postponement, this was possible.I recommend talking to them and seeing if the platform suits you.Thanks Sake!
From start to finish everything was well taken care of.Thank you gentlemen !!!!
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!
Very professional help. Sake supported me in all aspects of the house purchase.
Very pragmatic and does everything possible to make the process go smoothly for you.
Homeup guided the sale of our apartment. Mr. Brouwer of homeup was knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions and provide the necessary information. Appointments were kept punctually. In other words, I highly recommend this real estate agent.

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.
