Snelder Zijlstra by Tim Kreffer

Your Home in Trusted Hands.

At Snelder Zijlstra Makelaars by Tim Kreffer, personal guidance, expert advice, and a results-driven approach are at the heart of everything we do. We specialize in the sale, purchase, rental, and valuation of residential properties, guiding our clients through every step of the real estate process.

Whether it concerns a starter home, a family residence, or an exclusive villa, we combine in-depth local market knowledge with a strong national and regional network and years of experience. We also have extensive expertise in the high-end property market and assist clients with real estate transactions in Germany. Tailor-made service, discretion, and personal attention are always our top priorities.

What sets us apart is our personal way of working. To us, real estate is about more than properties and price tags; it is about the people behind them. Everyone has their own reason for buying, selling, or moving. That is why we take the time to listen, think along with you, and develop an approach that fits your specific situation. This personal commitment, combined with years of experience and genuine involvement, ensures that our clients feel understood, supported, and confident throughout the process.

With us, you have one dedicated point of contact: Tim Kreffer, NVM Registered Real Estate Agent and Certified Valuer. A real estate professional with a no-nonsense mentality, a trusted advisor, and above all, a people person. Thanks to his international background and broad experience, he is equally comfortable handling a local property transaction as he is advising on cross-border real estate matters. Tim personally guides and advises clients throughout the entire process.

Behind the scenes, Babs Ziegerink-Lohuis and Susan van Benthem ensure structure, efficiency, and clear communication. Together with Tim, they form a dedicated team where expertise, accessibility, and careful client support go hand in hand.

Building on more then 25 years of experience in real estate, we combine this expertise with the strength of Snelder Zijlstra Makelaars. With offices in Almelo, Hengelo, Borne, Enschede, and Oldenzaal, we offer a broad network and a strong regional presence while maintaining a highly personal approach.

In addition to our residential real estate services, we can also assist clients with commercial property matters. Together with the specialized commercial real estate professionals within Snelder Zijlstra, we offer expertise in commercial real estate, investments, valuations, and accommodation-related issues. This allows us to connect our clients with the right specialist for virtually any real estate challenge.

Whether you are buying your first home, planning a move, or selling your current property, you can rely on a dedicated partner who combines knowledge, experience, and personal attention with the strength of one of the leading real estate organizations in the eastern Netherlands.
