Using Walter was easy and accessible. It helped me to update my bid to be a bit higher than what I was planning to bid, and in the end I think it helped me get the house. I did not make use of all of its features, but I think to have the consultation that was offered would have been helpful as well.

Willem was great throughout our first home purchase in Amsterdam. What stood out most was how he handled the viewings. He kept building a relationship with the selling agent so that we stayed memorable, and that clearly helped in a competitive process. He joined our viewings, replied fast on WhatsApp, and offered to call the selling agent himself when a listing wasn’t available for viewing. After the bid, he helped with the technical inspection and the valuation, and went through the inspection results with us. He then reviewed the purchase agreement very thoroughly and explained the important points in plain language: the lack of a financing condition, the deposit and bank guarantee, how the cooling-off period works, and the penalty clauses. He gave us his honest opinion on optional points, such as whether to register the agreement, based on his experience with many purchases, instead of just telling us what we wanted to hear. He also answered our many questions quickly, including on the day we signed. One suggestion for the process in general: a clearer overview of all the steps, like a playbook, would be great. We’d like to know at any moment what is still to be done and how each step works, especially around the purchase agreement, when it’s hard to know exactly when everything needs to happen. That being said, we’d recommend Willem & WalterLiving to anyone buying a home in Amsterdam, especially first-time buyers.

The tool is very pleasant to use in terms of UX. It gives a fair overview of the apartments. All the offered bids were very close to the reality.

Walter was very helpful during our home-buying journey, particularly when we were evaluating different properties. For each house we were seriously considering, Walter provided an estimated market value based on comparable properties and available market data. This gave us a useful, independent reference point when deciding whether a property was reasonably priced and how much we should consider bidding. We looked at several properties during our search, so having these valuations available helped us compare them more objectively and make better-informed decisions rather than relying only on the asking price. The reports were clear and easy to understand, and we found the service particularly useful in the Dutch housing market, where determining an appropriate bid can be difficult. Overall, Walter was a valuable tool during our house search and gave us useful information to support our decisions.

I liked the tool and I found it useful. I enjoyed using the chat functions and I loved the mapping tool, with the different layers, that helped me identify which cities areas are newer built.

This is the best tool outside to have an eatimation of market value of houses. I used it in 2021 and 2026 to buy a house in Groningen.

Eric was very helpful throughout the all process. He gave us a lot of tips and a lot of guidance in each step. The promptness and flexibility of his replies really stand out! we would warmly recommend to work with him! What I would improve in the process is adding the option to have one of the agent to come visit the house and check for possible structural risks.

Walter gives you great insights into the different markets on neighborhood level. It provides you with sale data from the Kadaster, which is key to estimating a good bid. The AI assistant helps and guides you through the process of buying or bidding. A great starting point before diving deep into what could be your dream house.

For those in search of the house on their own, it is a very helpful platform. It gives you a lot of insightful data that allows you to make your own conscious decision on the potential cost of the real estate, bids and any other factors that could help.

Buying a home is a big decision, and working with Eric de Vries made the whole process so much easier. From the beginning, he was honest, knowledgeable, and always focused on helping us make the right decision rather than just closing a deal. There was one house we really liked, and we put in what we thought was a fair offer. Even though the house had been on the market for quite a while, Eric advised us not to get caught up in the competition and overbid. We ended up not getting that house, but looking back, it was absolutely the right call. A few weeks later, we found the perfect house. Eric helped us come up with the right offer, and this time we got it. We're so glad we trusted his advice because we ended up with a home we love. Eric was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer questions, gave thoughtful advice, and genuinely looked out for our best interests. If we ever buy another house, Eric will be the first person we call. We've already recommended him to friends, and we'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for a great realtor.

I used Walter Living Plus and it is great!!! Walter Living gives quite good estimation of housing prices and close to the market price, better than other websites like funda, woningstats, huispedia ect, that gives me very good indication when buying/selling houses. Other small things for improvement is that the websites contains quite a lot of options/information and sometime confused myself.

We had a fantastic experience with Lisa. She was knowledgeable, proactive, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. Her advice was always practical, and she gave us a lot of confidence when making such an important decision. Thanks to her guidance and negotiation skills, buying our home in Amsterdam felt far less stressful than we expected. I genuinely can't think of anything that could have been better. I'd happily recommend Walter—and Lisa in particular—to anyone looking to buy a home in Amsterdam.

I really enjoyed using Walterliving, I won the bid with the suggested amount based on the report. It's super helpful that I can find the sales price of all apartments in the neighborhood of the house I am checking on a map witht Funda page of each apartment, great feature! The map of crime rate, noise and air pollution in every neighborhood also provides valuable insight.

I had fun analyzing the housing market with the plus version. The comparison feature gives you an idea of how much other listings in the past were sold for. Under 2 weeks we won a bid! Would recommend to all looking for house.

You just get a good idea about the market in the neighborhood! the actual valuation is closer to the condition related value than the desktop value! If you don't want to use a maklaar, then you need this!

The experience overall was really good. The statistical maps are a great diferencial for buyers, and the AI support is great for both seller and buyers. However, in general the tool is focussed for buyers, I understand its the best approach since there are more buyers then sellers, but its maybe a point for improval.

Absolutely loved this tool for comparing recently sold houses in my area. Using it I was able to compare other homes sold in my price range, estimate overbids and check I didn't pay too much for my property. I would absolutely buy it again if I was selling or buying a house
