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!

A successful housing career for first-time buyers

Buying a home. Many first-timers want it, few succeed. You hear stories about the tight housing market, rising mortgage interest rates, hassles with banks and overbidding.

Stories that make you think: as a starter, how am I ever going to get in on this? And where should I start when I'm new to the housing market? We know those doubts. That's why we are changing the housing market. For buyers and sellers.

Why and how do we do that?
