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!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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, a

I had a great experience working with Walter living. First of all It’s very useful tool to find out what price is good for a property you want to buy. Also we had 2 sessions about 2 houses in Eindhoven with WL experts. The second house we won with the help of Hester. It was the second house we were bidding on, and we won it! We paid for bidding service, and I can definitely recommend it — Hester helped us not only with the bidding, but also with all the processes after winning a bid, giving some tips how to save some money on buyers costs. For conclusion, Walter Living experts are really professional and responsible. Highly recommend their services!

From the first meeting through to key hand-over, working with Walter Living was straightforward and reassuring. What really stood out was our agent, Hester. Hester listened carefully to what we wanted, explained the process in plain terms, and always answered our questions (and there were quite a few!). She never made us feel rushed and genuinely cared about getting the best result for us. Thanks to Hester’s expertise, we felt confident throughout and were able to act decisively when the right property came up. If you’re looking for a reliable buying agent in the Netherlands, we wholeheartedly recommend Hester and the Walter team.
