More stories of first-time buyers who thought it was impossible to buy a home
Assisted by Sake in the sale of my home. He immediately took care of everything and relieved me of all the worries surrounding the sale. My thanks!
Very nicely helped by Sake in our search! He switches super fast with the right parties and takes a lot out of our hands. Because of his expertise we never worried for a moment and are enjoying our new home!
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!
Sake helped us close on our dream home, where we didn't get a viewing until the day of the bid closing.
Although it was slightly outside his scope of work and not the most interesting offer, he managed to convince the selling broker to recommend us to the seller.
I would recommend him to help other expats in their search for a house in the Netherlands.
Very nice contact with Sake as the selling party's broker! Approachable and quick communication and always enthusiastic & friendly. He was available for all tips and questions I had as a starter. Fine first experience in the housing market!
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;)
Through Billy from Homeup, my apartment sold very quickly (within 3 weeks). I was approached by him and wanted to give this way of selling a chance. I haven't regretted it for a moment. Billy is very committed, honest, precise, easily accessible and does what he says. In short, a very competent and reliable real estate agent. I really like Homeup's commitment to first-time buyers and it is very nice that viewings are serious because they are already known to Homeup and pre-screened on their finances. This allows a sale/purchase to be completed quickly. And that's how it went! I have found this cooperation to be very positive and recommend Homeup and this way of selling to everyone.
Incredibly happy with Billy, helped us very well and was available for all questions!
Great experience, Sake and Billy were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from the first meeting, where Sake explained to us how buying a house in the Netherlands works, to the signature at the end of the notary appointment for the key transfer.
They made a huge difference, especially in the bidding process, where we were able to be competitive and eventually secure our new apartment in Almere!
Thank you so much to Sake, Billy and the whole HomeUp team for the great support! I would recommend them to anyone interested in buying a home/apartment.
Keep up the good work, guys!

Why and how do we do that?
