Buying a home is not an easy choice, but together we will figure it out. With plenty of hands-on experience, I analyse the market carefully and take care of the negotiations for you. Your interests always come first, and I make sure the entire process runs as smoothly as possible.

What our customers say

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.
