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

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.

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.

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.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 – Outstanding buying agent experience We had an excellent experience with Walter Living, and especially with Hester, who supported us throughout the entire buying process. Hester was always immediately available—super quick, responsive, and incredibly agile. No matter the question or situation, she was on it right away. What really stood out was her attitude when we brought some unconventional challenges to the table: bidding on a not-yet-built house, and later navigating a property with an upside-down layout (living room on the top floor). She was always positive, proactive, and ready to take on the challenge without hesitation. There was never any sense of hurry or pressure. Hester remained calm, patient, and genuinely supportive at every step, which made a potentially stressful process feel smooth and reassuring. Even when the seller’s agent was, in our view, not particularly best, Hester completely made up for it—she ensured the process was convenient, transparent, and truly in our best interest. On top of the human side, Walter Living’s tools are world-class. Their property value and bidding analysis is incredibly detailed and available within seconds. I honestly don’t think it can get better than this level of insight and professionalism. If there were 10 stars, I would give all 10 without hesitation. Highly, highly recommended.

Great experience overall, excellent service, communication and no hidden costs. We worked with Emmily and Paco and both of them were super helpful and supportive throughout the whole process of finding and purchasing the apartment. Paco saved us a few dozens thousand by advising to bid less than we were supposed to and still winning the bid. We will definitely use Walter again if we need to purchase another apartment in the future 😉

An agent charges an average of 1.15% (source: VEH). What percentage an agent charges can vary per agent, location and home value. In addition to these fees, you also often pay the agent start-up costs, on average €350 to €750. Walter charges a fixed fee without start-up costs.

Why buy with Walter?

We are your buying agent.

What is the home worth? What should I offer? Buying a home is a challenge in today's housing market. No worries. Our team of agents and experts has already helped thousands of happy buyers. Walter knows!

A clear, fair price

Help buying your dream home doesn't have to be expensive. Objective advice, remotely. Boost your chances with our smart technology and personal service. Good, fast and fair. Our buyers rate Walter 4.8/5 for value for money.

Risk-free, cancel anytime, no long-term lock-in

With Walter, cancellation is entirely self-serve, no questions asked, no sales reps trying to talk you out of it. Cancel any time, no contracts to sign, no long-term contracts to lock you in. Simple, straightforward, and fair, just as it should be.

To jump-start your journey…

Unlike traditional agents, Walter is fully online, which means no in-person meetings but also means we can offer transparent, fixed pricing. We provide data-driven insights no local agent can match, and our experts work only for you - never for sellers. You get professional guidance through video calls and our app, saving you time while getting better results.

Walter All-in-One covers your entire home-buying journey: property valuation analysis, bidding strategy, offer negotiations, legal document review, appraisal and technical inspection coordination, mortgage support, and guidance until you receive your keys. All for a transparent fee of €2,950 (no cure, no pay) - about half the cost of traditional agents. Costs for the appraisal and inspection are separate and optional.

That's up to you. In selected markets you can choose to have your dedicated Walter expert join you in person at viewings. Everywhere else - or if you'd rather go on your own - we support you remotely: we prepare you with viewing checklists, the right questions to ask, and red flags to watch for, then go through your findings together afterwards so you can make a confident, informed decision.

Walter All-in-One costs €2,950 (including VAT) with our 'no cure, no pay' guarantee - you only pay when you successfully buy a home. This is typically 50-60% less than traditional agents who charge 1-1.5% of the purchase price. There are no hidden fees or surprise costs. You can also start with Walter Plus (€20/month) if you're not ready for full service.

Walter clients successfully purchase homes within an average of 3 months, with many winning their bid within 1-3 attempts. Our data-driven approach helps you make competitive offers without overbidding - clients report saving an average of €15,000 compared to emotional bidding. We analyze thousands of transactions to understand exactly what wins in your target area.
