First of all, if I could give more stars, I would. Finding housing in the Netherlands is difficult at best. Homes for Expats makes this process so much easier. Cherene and team are a delight to work with. We worked with Kady to find a home in the Den Haag area and she was able to secure the very first place we put an offer on.
Highly recommend working with Home for Expats for your home searching journey in the Netherlands! Jessica was a wonderful partner and incredibly supportive that I enjoyed having in my corner during this process.
When we decided to relocate to the Netherlands from Seattle, we knew that finding a rental would be challenging with five small pets in tow. What we didn't anticipate, however, was being turned down by numerous makelaars who were outright unwilling to assist us.
We are so grateful to have found Homes for Expats! Our makelaar, Giselle, was absolutely amazing. She was very transparent about the costs and how competitive the housing market is in the Netherlands. She found us an amazing place in about 5 weeks right next to a tram line.
Homes for Expats came highly recommended and we were not disappointed. We were extremely nervous to find a place to live in a new country without viewing it in person. From our initial meeting, Kady was extremely helpful.
Nicky was great! She found a home for me in my budget with all my boxes ticked (including a place for my dog) and made the process smooth. I couldn't be happier.
We had such an amazing experience with Home for Expats from start to finish! From day one, we had a great feeling and immediately felt we could trust the team. The Home for Expats team were incredibly patient, always had our best interests at heart.
When we just arrived in the Netherlands we were curious as to which service providers we will use in the pursuit of a house. We went to Expat fairs and came across Homes for Expats. Jessica treated us with the utmost patience, even after changing the criteria for the area more than once.
Having bought, sold and rented multiple houses in the US using realtors, it was unimaginable to think we could do the same in the Netherlands without a makelaar where we do not know local practices nor speak Dutch. After some careful consideration, we selected Homes For Expats not once but twice.
Giselle from Homes for Expats was incredible — kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. She helped us find and secure a wonderful home before our move and continued to follow up afterward, making sure everything went smoothly.
Whether you are buying, renting, selling or relocating, Homes for Expats is here to guide you through every step of your housing journey with honest advice, passion for your search, service beyond expectation and an unmatched commitment to making your housing experience your best one yet.
