De Makelaers | Zaanstad

Our Story

De Makelaers is a young NVM-registered real estate agency with a unique vision that puts the client first. With nearly 25 years of experience, we believe in a no-nonsense approach. We keep both feet on the ground and focus solely on delivering quality. In a short time, we have grown into a leading real estate agency with a fresh perspective, specializing in residential property. Times change; and so does real estate! Through a proactive approach, we demonstrate that combining online and traditional real estate methods truly works.

In 2025, we celebrate the 10-year anniversary of De Makelaers BV; a decade in which we have proudly received numerous awards. The opening of our second office in Zaanstad marks a new milestone. Our continued growth, driven by satisfied clients and our commitment to quality, has led to this new location. With it, we aim to serve our clients in the Zaanstad region even better and provide optimal service.

Personal & Committed

We are a small-scale real estate agency—and we intend to keep it that way. By working with a limited portfolio of properties, we’re able to give more time and attention to you and the sale of your home.

Open & Transparent

We say it like it is—no slick talk, just doing what we say and saying what we do.

Certified & Qualified

We are certified through VastgoedCERT and registered in the official real estate registry. Thanks to mandatory continuing education, we stay informed of the latest legal changes and developments in the housing market.

NVM, MVA & FUNDA

Naturally, we meet the highest quality standards and are members of the Dutch Association of Real Estate Agents (NVM) and the Amsterdam Real Estate Association (MVA). We guarantee professionalism and visibility through prominent listings on Funda.
