We were fortunate to meet Sake during our home search.
From day one, he was very helpful, answered all our questions (and we had many!), and communicated clearly with us.

Their service was excellent, from searching for a house to signing the contract, he assisted us the entire time. 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 expats. He reviewed all the documents and answered all our questions. This made us feel very comfortable during the whole 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!

We can highly recommend Sake from Homeup B.V.! His support was fantastic from the beginning. He took the time to understand our wants and needs for a new home and his communication was crystal clear throughout the process. Thanks to his ability to explain everything in an understandable way, we never felt lost or confused, even as expats who don't speak Dutch.

In the end, we won our dream home with a successful bid and we are convinced that this would not have been possible without his expertise. Not only did he secure the house, but he did it efficiently, making the process run smoothly and avoiding unnecessary delays.

The icing on the cake? Sake works with fair and honest prices. We are thrilled with our new home and thank Sake for his incredible service. If you are looking for a real estate agent who is helpful, communicative, competent and gets the best results, look no further! My husband and I will definitely recommend Sake to all of our close friends.

Owning my own house in Amsterdam started as a dream and has now become a reality because of the good guidance and quick action of Sake. There is a lot to deal with when buying a (first) house and Sake helped me with all the questions I had.

Homeup guided the sale of our apartment. Mr. Brouwer of homeup was knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions and provide the necessary information. Appointments were kept punctually. In other words, I highly recommend this real estate agent.

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?
