Buying with a neighbourhood in mind

Tell us how you want to live, from your daily journey to the space you need at home. We help you compare properties and streets in De Pijp, the Rivierenbuurt and the rest of Amsterdam. During viewings we discuss the layout, outdoor space and condition, alongside the documents that need further investigation.

Joris lives in De Pijp and our office was previously based in the Rivierenbuurt. That personal connection informs the way we discuss your search or sale.

What should you discuss before making an offer?

Finding a home you like is the start. Next, you need to understand what you are buying, which questions remain open and which terms matter to you.

Property and documents

We assess the available property documents, including the measurement report, floor plan and, for an apartment, owners’ association documents. We explain what they mean for your purchase, raise questions about maintenance and ground lease, and identify missing information. Where further structural or legal investigation is needed, we discuss which specialist can help.

Value, offer and conditions

We compare the property with recent transactions and discuss an informed offer strategy. Together we consider an offer and conditions suited to your circumstances. Your mortgage adviser assesses your financing options; we take that budget into account in our buying advice.

An informed decision

We explain the opportunities, points to consider and unanswered questions. We liaise with the selling agent and help you decide on the next step, including when our advice is to investigate further or walk away.

Already found a property? Share the listing link, your preferred timing and your main questions. If you are still searching, we start with your needs and preferred neighbourhoods.

Buying agent fees: agreed in advance

Before we start, we agree our fee with you: a fixed amount or a percentage of the transaction price. We record that agreement in advance. We work on a no cure, no pay basis: we only invoice you once a property has actually been purchased. We do not send interim invoices, so you know what to expect from the outset.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a buying agent in Amsterdam cost?

Before we start, we agree our fee with you: a fixed amount or a percentage of the transaction price. We record that agreement in advance. We work on a no cure, no pay basis: we only invoice you once a property has actually been purchased. We do not send interim invoices, so you know what to expect from the outset.

How much above asking price should I offer?

That depends on the neighbourhood, property type and current competition. We advise based on recent transaction data, not guesswork, but a well-founded bidding strategy.

How quickly can you start?

After an intake conversation we can be active right away and join you on viewings. We respond quickly and can make ourselves available at short notice.

Do you also help with the structural survey and the notary?

We guide you through the purchase agreement and can put you in touch with a structural engineer or notary when needed.
