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 of first-time buyers who thought it was impossible to buy a home
Thanks to Sake's quick turnaround, we were able to buy the house of our dreams after only the second offer. As starters, there were many things we knew little about, but Sake took the time to take us fully through the process. That gave us a familiar and reassuring feeling. Thank you Sake!
Because of Sake's great help we were able to buy our dream house in Utrecht! He was always available for questions and thought along with us. Definitely recommended!
Homeup offers excellent service during your house hunt. Sake is very professional and experienced and gives the best advice. Billy is also exceptional and is always ready to help. I highly recommend Homeup and their services.
Great Experience. I had been looking for an apartment for almost 8 months before Nobel Mortgages recommended Sake from homeup to me and the purchase process was resolved pretty quickly after that. I had always thought that hiring a real estate agent was unnecessary and that I could just do it myself, but having a professional handle the negotiations and purchase had a great and very favorable impact on the final price for me.
I had a very good experience with Homeup when selling my apartment in Amsterdam, and then also when buying a new apartment. The sales process went smoothly and I got a decent price for my apartment. Everything was very well organized by Homeup. Sake from homeup was extremely professional and showed a lot of commitment. He was active and proactive in the sales process, so everything went smoothly. I can definitely recommend homeup to anyone who wants a smooth selling experience when selling their apartment.
We received fantastic help from Billy. He called us because he saw a house come by that completely met our needs. A few days later we sat down with the mortgage broker and made an offer. It was an instant hit! Billy guided us very nicely through the whole process. I would recommend home up to anyone!
Sake helped us tremendously! Without his expertise and commitment, finding a house that perfectly matched our wishes and budget would have been much more difficult and would have taken much more time. We are very grateful for his help and the fact that we could always come to him with our questions. He actively thought along, gave honest advice and was always ready when needed. Really great!
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!
Quick and professional. Sake helped us through the bidding process, advised us on strategy, arranged all the paperwork and made sure everything was a piece of cake, all with a friendly smile and an affordable price.

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.
