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!

We received fantastic help from Billy. He called us because he saw a house come by that completely met our needs. It was an instant hit!

Purchase broker

In this difficult time to find a house to buy, everything went smoothly and professionally. In addition, we did not have to overbid, very nice because we knew where we stood in terms of costs.

It was a pleasant experience of interacting with homeup. The process was efficient, communication-easy and expat-friendly.

Purchase broker

Not only did the house search go quickly, but because of homeup we were able to buy the house for a fixed price, so we didn't have to overbid.

I recently had the pleasure of working with homeup, and I must say, my entire real estate journey exceeded all expectations.

Buying a house in Amsterdam is quite an experience. It took us 8 months and the support of Sake and his team was essential. We are very satisfied with their service.

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!

The personal contact with Sake made it possible to move quickly with the buyers of our apartment. Sake is professional and easy to approach, open to enter into any conversation to get everything clear. Highly recommended!

Last month we managed to secure our first house for sale in Amsterdam with the help of Sake from Homeup. The process went very smoothly and the guidance throughout the period worked perfectly for us. We could ask all our questions and we received good and critical feedback. We have now moved into our house (very happy!) and we are extremely grateful to Homeup for the pleasant purchase guidance. Highly recommended for every starter!

Fantastic help from the guys from Homeup! Thanks to Sake's expertise and great communication, we felt confident throughout the whole process. We do not know if we would have succeeded in buying our house without his help. Sake, thank you very much! Highly recommend these guys;)

Great experience!!! I highly recommend it. I worked with Billy on the purchase of my first apartment. He understood all my preferences well and gave a comprehensive list of options, which helped in buying the apartment I loved. Billy guided me well throughout the process and patiently answered all my questions. He also helped me with translations (from Dutch to English) of key parts of the documents and made sure everything went to my liking. Thank you for the exceptional service!

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

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 do you buy a house 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.
