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
Sake helped us close on our dream house, where we didn't get a viewing until the closing date. Although it was a bit outside his area and not the most attractive offer, he convinced the selling agent to recommend us to the seller. I would recommend him to other expats in their search for a home in the Netherlands.
We found our home within two months! HomeUp is an excellent choice in terms of cost-benefit ratio. We were clearly told which package was most advantageous for us. If (or when) we decide to switch, we will definitely choose HomeUp again. Thank you!!!
Buying a house in Amsterdam is quite an experience. It took us eight months, and the support from Sake and his team was essential. We are very satisfied with their service.
The guys from Homeup helped us tremendously! Thanks to Sake's expertise and excellent communication, we felt confident throughout the entire process. We don't know if we would have been able to buy our house without his help. Sake, thank you so much! We highly recommend hiring these guys ;)
We recently bought a house through Home UP, and it went really smoothly. Thanks to Billy's clear explanation and honesty, we immediately knew what to expect and what the costs would be, and as first-time buyers, we were able to learn what it's like to buy a house. Billy was always easily accessible and responded promptly and clearly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Thanks to Home UP, we were able to get the start we were so looking forward to, and thanks to their approach, we, as buyers, didn't have to worry about someone outbidding us way beyond our budget.
A fantastic experience. Sake and Billy were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from the initial meeting, where Sake explained how buying a house in the Netherlands works, to the signing at the notary's appointment for the keys. They made a huge difference, especially during the bidding process, where we were able to be competitive and ultimately secure our new apartment in Almere! A huge thank you to Sake, Billy, and the entire HomeUp team for their fantastic support! I would recommend them to anyone interested in buying a house or apartment. Keep up the good work, guys!
Sake was incredibly helpful in buying our first home. Excellent communication, friendly, and professional!
Sake was incredibly helpful in our search! He connected with the right partners incredibly quickly, taking a lot of work off our hands. Thanks to his expertise, we didn't have a single worry and are now thoroughly enjoying our new home!
Highly professional assistance. Sake supported me through every aspect of the house purchase. Very pragmatic and does everything possible to ensure a smooth process.
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.
