Our added value

With a buying specialist from Verra Makelaars by your side, the search for your new home will be nothing short of a positive experience. Just like a selling agent represents the seller, your buying agent has your interests at heart in the transaction. Your real estate agent opens doors to listings that fully fit your search profile, that may not even be on the market yet or require a well-developed renovation and financial plan, but would suit your needs. We look beyond your own search and put everything in place to be able to buy your dream home for you. Multiple appointments with different estate agents are no longer necessary, Verra Makelaars fully unburdens you. You save time by explaining your wishes once to our office, and we will find the best possible options for you. Your buying agent guides you through the entire process, accompanies you to viewings and is always available for questions and advice. When you sign the contract, you are assured of the most favorable conditions for your new home.

Moving in seven steps

The buying process

Introduction

Meet your buying agent, digitally or in person. We will discuss the possibilities, your current situation and answer your questions.

Search profile

With all your wishes and requirements, we start looking for suitable homes in the search area. On and 'off' the market.

Viewing

Your buying agent will accompany you to viewings. We pay special attention to details and point out advantages and disadvantages of the property and location.

Research

We take a critical look into any legal and technical issues and advise on the price and bidding strategy.

Negotiations

Found your dream home? We will conduct the negotiations with the selling party on your behalf. Always in consultation with you.

Purchase agreement

Before you sign the contract, we will check it and go through it with you for any ambiguities or questions you may have.

Inspection and transfer of keys

Before receiving the keys at the notary's office, we accompany you to the final inspection. You will then receive the keys to your new home!

Moving day

Do you still have questions about the property or need help with practical matters such as gas, water and electricity requests? Do not hesitate to contact your buying agent.

Happy clients

What they say about us

Fantastic service. Nick made our relocation to Rotterdam fantastically smooth... he's by far the best real estate agent we dealt with. He listens and does a fabulous job of representing you, the tenant (in our case), and proactively anticipating any issues and handling them. We loved our experience with him, so much so that we are going to ask him to help us with our next step, buying. Highly recommended.

Linda Ricci Jacobs - renting

It was a fantastic experience to work with Verra. Despite being in another country the whole time we had their support, we had "0" problems throughout the whole procedure. We understood how lucky we were to have them after coming to the Netherlands and finding out how hard it is to find a proper house. My special thanks to Pien!

Onur Bilgin - renting

Verra Makelaars have helped us to manage our property in The Hague since 2010, during which time we never had an issue. I would like to thank them for the many years of service in renting out and eventually helping us to sell our house. They are an authentic customer service orientated team that go the extra distance to help their clients. I wish the team continued success!!

Mark Liebster - selling

Very professional and efficient company. As a first time buyer were really patient, helpful, caring and adapted quite fast to any changes brought up. Phenomenal understanding of English, which is a good thing for foreigners. Would recommend this agency for anyone and will use it again if needed!

Vladislavs Marmizovs - buying

We had a fantastic experience with Luna! She went above and beyond to help us find a wonderful rental apartment. Luna was incredibly responsive, patiently answered all our questions, and acted as an excellent liaison between us, the owners, and the current tenants. We are extremely grateful for her support and would highly recommend both Luna and the company to anyone looking for very good service. Thank you, Luna, for making this such a positive experience !

Housing in the Netherlands

For expats

Contact Verra Makelaars for a smooth transaction in The Netherlands for yourself or one of your employees. Rather than the ‘average’ Dutch real estate agency, we like to go the extra mile with our services for international clients. We bear in mind that internationals are not fluent in the Dutch language and standard course of events when buying a home. They might not know certain routes to take and obligations to fulfill and do not have the network of local agents and contractors. Our relocation managers ensure that expats can find a suitable home and can settle in their new city in no time. We answer questions, advise on facilities and practical and administrative matters such as registrations, bank accounts and international schools. Our team of specialists has extensive experience in assisting companies with the placement of one to several employees and their families in big cities like The Hague and Rotterdam.
