Homeup biedt uitstekende service tijdens uw huizenjacht. Sake is zeer professioneel en ervaren en geeft het beste advies. Billy is ook uitzonderlijk en staat altijd klaar om te helpen. Ik kan Homeup en hun diensten van harte aanbevelen.

Sake was very helpful from the moment I met him. He charges reasonable rates and helped me find the apartment I wanted the first time. He really knows how to interact with expats and handles everything without too much hassle for people new to the Dutch real estate market. He also connected me with a mortgage advisor who offered us a very reasonable interest rate (the lowest you can get in the current market). I highly recommend Sake to anyone who wants to buy a property, especially in a competitive market like Amsterdam.

It was a fantastic experience having Sake as our real estate agent! He makes what seems complicated seem easy, takes the time to explain everything, and offers excellent advice. We found our house within a few months, and throughout the entire process, he was always available and quick to respond whenever we needed him. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home. Thanks, Sake!

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!

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?
