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!

We found Sake on the recommendation of good friends after hearing their enthusiastic stories about him. And rightly so: we too were quickly successful in our search for our new home! Since then, we've recommended Sake to three friends, and they too have now found a home. What's so great about Sake is his quick and clear communication. He takes care of everything and guides you through the entire buying process. He also has a fantastic network in Amsterdam, which opens many doors. In short: if you're looking for a buyer's agent who is decisive, has a large network, and, above all, is a pleasure to work with, definitely call Sake!

Homeup managed the sale of our apartment. Mr. Brouwer from Homeup was professional and quick to answer any questions and provide the necessary information. Appointments were kept promptly, so I highly recommend this real estate agent.

Highly recommended. I used their services to help me buy a house. Their quick response, attention to detail, and availability made all the difference in my offer and the purchase of my home. My agent was Sake, a fantastic agent, super efficient, and always willing to discuss any concerns and offer his opinion.

Sake was simply fantastic. As an expat buying a house in Amsterdam, it was a world we didn't fully understand. Sake helped us through every step of the buying process, making it an easy and relaxing experience. I will definitely use Sake's services again.

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.

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.
