Your buying agent in Leiden

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.

Used walter plus during house research. AI chat and reports were very useful.

Easy to use and extremely useful for home valuation and bidding, now even more helpful with AI features.

The insigts and reports we could get from a propery and the neighbouring sold apartments, helped us to make very informed and reasonable bids

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

We used WalterLiving to inform our bidding decisions for an apartment in Amsterdam and could not be any happier with the results we obtained!

Hi Stephen, Thank you so much for the opportunity to provide feedback about Walter Living, and especially about Lisa. To be honest, I have been looking forward to this moment for quite some time. Our journey started around July or August 2025 when we began searching for a home. Although I know Amstelveen quite well, I had very little understanding of the local housing market. Over the course of our search, Lisa became my go to person. She was practically on my WhatsApp speed dial because I was constantly asking questions, seeking advice, and looking for reassurance. We submitted many bids, lost many bids, and even went through a particularly disappointing situation early on when we thought we had secured a house, only to lose it afterwards. Throughout it all, Lisa was incredibly supportive. She was patient, calm, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Looking back, I think there were moments where I might have lost patience myself, but she never did. One thing I especially appreciated was that we did not really know what we wanted at the start. We thought we were looking for one type of home, but over time our priorities changed. Despite all the changes, questions, and uncertainty, Lisa remained understanding and supportive. She even talked me out of overspending on more than one occasion, which I truly appreciated. In fact, after the purchase was completed, I almost missed our regular conversations because we had been in touch so often throughout the process. Walter Living was a great fit for us. The experience was educational as well as practical. Even though this was already my third home purchase in the Netherlands, I learned a tremendous amount. What made the difference was Lisa’s approach. She never made me feel inexperienced or uninformed. Instead, she treated me as a peer and involved me in the process every step of the way. I would wholeheartedly recommend Walter Living, particularly to expats who are trying to navigate the Dutch housing market. Having someone like Lisa in your corner makes a huge difference. Thank you again, and please pass on my sincere appreciation to Lisa. She was absolutely fantastic!

I used Walter to buy two different properties in 2022 and 2026, both without a real estate agent. It does a great job in pulling data that is either not really available or available only behind a paywall, organizing that data and providing great insights to understand the market dynamics. While there are still nuances of the housing market, Walter does a great job in empowering buyers by removing information asymmetry that favors sellers and real estate agents. I always recommend Walter to friends that are going through the same process.

great online makelaar with numerical insights

For a (relatively) minimal investment we were able to get an accurate bid price. Bonus: seeing all the house for sale/sold in the neighbourhood also gave us inspiration ideas for our house as we could quickly find the relevant Funda ads.

The platform is useful in getting important information about the estimate valuation of various properties. You also get a rough estimation of expected buds so you can decide yourself without a need of third party agent. Highly recommended.

My husband and I would like to thank Walter Living, and especially Willem Klinkenberg, for the help with buying an apartment in Eindhoven. Willem was super nice, responsive, and friendly. He provided us with all the necessary information and explained clearly what we needed to do. He also negotiated on our behalf and managed to arrange really good terms for us! The overall experience with Walter Living was excellent, absolutely smooth and clear. We would definitely recommend Walter Living if you would like to buy a property in the Netherlands, 10/10!

We had a really great experience working with Willem Klinkenberg from Walter Living during our house-buying process in the Netherlands. From the very beginning, Willem was easy to communicate with, kind, helpful, and very clear in managing our expectations and understanding our needs. He was present at every step of the process and always made us feel supported and well-informed. What stood out most was how personal the experience felt. While Willem was always professional, he also brought a level of care, warmth, and genuine involvement that made the whole process feel much less overwhelming. Working with him felt less like a standard service and more like having a friend guide us through an important and sometimes stressful process -- someone who was truly on our side. Thanks to his help, we found our house in a very efficient way, and we truly appreciated the care, patience, and dedication he brought throughout. We would happily recommend Willem and Walter Living to anyone looking to buy a home.

Honestly amazing experience throughout the entire process. Cannot recommend it enough!

Great experience with Walter Living and Paco. Very well informed and with an attentive eye to details. Paco helped me with data-informed bidding and saved me money by actually under-bidding on the house. Super positive experience and would highly recommend.

Great example of tech enablement I came to WalterLiving on the recommendation of a colleague. Played around with the AI to get a sense of how good the platform is. This is obviously subjective - but I threw everything I could at it - and it reasoned out circumstances and responses really well. Convinced of the tech, I decided to work with humans, at Walter Living. :) I was given fantastic, thoughtful, and prompt responses at every stage. They made the process of identifying the home, negotiating on our behalf, and finding a notary entirely seamless. It genuinely allowed us, as first time buyers and internationals, not to feel overwhelmed and truly understand the process. We will always be grateful to the team at Walter Living - from Hester and Paco who helped us with the process - to everyone who makes the platform as good as it is.

I had a great experience working with Paco during my house search. He was very supportive, explained all the details and Dutch regulations clearly, and was always available whenever I had questions. I highly recommend working with him.

Everything went smoothly and quickly. We had been searching for a suitable apartment for several months, but once we subscribed to Walter Living, we found the right one and won the bid in less than a month. The online portal is excellent—it’s very helpful for estimating how much to bid and reviewing the history of each apartment. The service is great, and even though it’s fully online, it was almost half the price of others while still offering great value. We’d like to give special thanks to Hester for all her help. She answered every question thoroughly and clearly. Hester was incredibly kind, friendly, and patient, guiding us through both the process and the important documents with great care. Thank you so much, Hester! Highly recommended!

I've worked with Walter living throughout my entire home buying process. My Agent Willem did an amazing job. The advice in the negotiation process was absolutely worth it. After winning the bid Willem was always on top of things and coordinated everything very reliably. It saved my hours of work and a good amount of money. I would happily work with Walter Living again.
