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!

They helped me find a home quickly! Friendly and professional staff who are easily accessible.

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!

I had a very positive experience with Homeup when selling my apartment in Amsterdam, and subsequently buying a new one. The sales process went smoothly, and I received a fair price for my apartment. Homeup organized everything perfectly. Sake from Homeup was exceptionally professional and showed great dedication. He was active and proactive throughout the sales process, ensuring everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Homeup to anyone looking for a smooth sales experience when selling their apartment.

I had a wonderful experience with Sake, the seller's real estate agent! Communication was quick and easy, and he was always enthusiastic and friendly. He was available for all the tips and questions I had as a first-time buyer. A great first experience in the housing market!

I worked with Sake to buy my first apartment here in Almere. I think it was a very smooth process for me because everything was so well organized. Sake is a fantastic real estate agent and I highly recommend him, especially to first-time buyers.

We were fortunate to meet Sake during our house search. From day one, he was incredibly helpful, answering all our questions (and we had a lot!) and communicating clearly. Their service was excellent, from the house search to signing the contract, he was by our side every step of the way. 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 as expats. He reviewed all the documents and answered all our questions, making us feel very comfortable throughout the entire 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!

Thanks to Sake for helping us find our apartment. His market knowledge and patience allowed us to navigate the process with confidence. When we finally found the right apartment, Sake negotiated with the owner to get the best possible deal. Communication was always friendly, and the process went smoothly thanks to his approach and responsiveness. Moreover, HomeUp's rates are more than reasonable, considering the amount of work involved. Thank you for your support throughout the entire process, right up to the final signing at the notary last week!

We bought our house with Sake's help. It couldn't have gone faster. We met him in the morning, had a viewing in the afternoon, made an offer, and it was accepted the next day. Sake made the process seamless. He helped us every step of the way and took care of everything (he connected us with a mortgage advisor, a building survey, 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 with the next steps after the keys were handed over.

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.
