VK Makelaars & Taxateurs BV

We had a fantastic experience working with John van Heiningen! The entire process was incredibly smooth and fast, from the first visit to finalizing the deal, everything was handled with care and efficiency. Thanks to him, we found our dream home and couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome. We felt fully supported every step of the way. We highly recommend working with him!

Excellent communication from start to finish. Expat friendly. Communication synergy with our mortgage advisor throughout the process. We had extremely specific search criteria and this was clearly taken into account. More expensive than other agents but served our requirements exceptionally well, so the extra cost was justified. We were in no immediate rush to buy therefore the agent wasn't "actively looking" for suitable properties on our behalf (we performed all the searching), though we are in no doubt that this service would be available if required. As soon as we found properties we wished to view, the agent took immediate action. Gave clear and knowledgable advice during viewings, and highlighted any red-flags. We never felt pressured into make offers on any property that wasn't 100% right for us. And when it was time to make an offer we felt incredibly confident in the advice given and that the agent was fully focused on securing the property on our behalf. With constant communications throughout the negotiations, we never felt left in the dark.

Mandy at VK Makelaars was a wonderful part of our home buying team while relocating to the Netherlands. She helped clear up some of the standard steps that are different from our home country and guided the process to be quick and smooth. If you are looking for support with your home search, Mandy is a warm and supportive choice.

We had a great experience working with Sander to find our home in Santpoort-Noord. As newcomers to the Netherlands, we didn’t know much about the home-buying process, but Sander guided us clearly through every step. He was always patient, responsive, and honest—especially when advising us on potential red flags or less-than-ideal choices. His deep knowledge of the Haarlem area was a real asset. We truly felt supported throughout the process. Highly recommended!

Sander van VK Makelaars heeft ons uitstekend geholpen en begeleid bij de aankoop van onze nieuwe woning. Hij houdt de lijntjes straks, springt in waar nodig en geeft uitstekend afdvies. No nonsens, geen valse beloftes en altijd eerlijk en realistisch gedurende het hele proces. Absoluut een aanrader.
