Welcome to a Personalized Event Experience

Buying a home in the Greater Amsterdam Area is a unique journey. Every step matters, and we’re here to offer you tailored guidance.

Our New Format for 2024

In 2024, we’re moving to small, personalized events designed for you. These sessions are held in private settings—at your company or exclusive locations. You’ll spend an hour with two experts, asking questions and getting the specific advice you need.

Focused, Tailored Guidance

Say goodbye to generic advice. At our small events, you’ll meet with a local real estate expert and another professional, such as a mortgage advisor, investment specialist, notary, or a representative from a top Dutch bank. They’ll give you insights tailored to your situation, helping you make informed decisions.

Events for International Companies

We also organize private events for companies abroad. Whether you want to introduce your employees to the Dutch housing market or offer them expert advice on global real estate, we tailor our sessions to fit your needs.

Join us for a personalized event and get expert guidance for buying a home in the Greater Amsterdam Area. Or let us bring this experience to your company, wherever you are.

The Netherlands | Amsterdam

Despite fluctuations, Amsterdam's real estate market has shown resilience.

Property values have historically appreciated, making real estate investments here potentially lucrative. It's a city that appeals to a broad spectrum of individuals and families seeking a high quality of life, cultural experiences, and a strong sense of community.

It is also a city where buying a home presents challenges. Demand consistently outstrips supply, and its popularity continues to soar with each passing day. It is crucial that you know where to begin your house hunt and understand what steps you need to take to get started. This is precisely why we created this event.

Know Your Numbers | Mortgages

 

Getting a mortgage in the Netherlands is a structured process:

• Financial Readiness: Ensure you have savings to pay for the costs
• Consult a Mortgage Advisor: Seek professional advice
• Interest Rates: Decide between fixed and variable rates
• Legal Process: Sign mortgage deeds with a notary's assistance
• Insurance: Consider life insurance as required
• Ongoing Costs: Account for property taxes and maintenance
• Government Support: Explore potential support programs like NHG

Prepare well, and you can navigate the Dutch mortgage process smoothly.

The Notary | A VIP

In the Netherlands, a notary is required for property transactions to:

Verify legal compliance
Witness document signings
Confirm identities
Prevent fraud
Handle tax matters
Maintain official records

The notary also handles the mortgage deed, which is a legally binding document outlining the terms and conditions of the mortgage agreement. This document is signed by both the borrower and the lender and is registered with the Land Registry.

Investments | Advice

Buying a home can be seen as a place to live and an investment. Some view it as a way to build wealth through property appreciation, while others prioritize it as a comfortable residence.

Ultimately, whether buying a home is seen as an investment or simply a place to live depends on an individual's financial goals, personal circumstances, and the local real estate market conditions. It's advisable to approach homeownership with a clear understanding of one's motivations and financial expectations. It's wise to consult with an investment company before house hunting to align your goals and make informed decisions.

Importance of hiring an agent

Hiring a certified real estate agent in Amsterdam is crucial for a variety of reasons. Firstly, Amsterdam's real estate market can be complex, with ever-changing regulations and a competitive landscape. A certified agent possesses in-depth knowledge of local laws, market trends, and pricing, ensuring you make informed decisions.

Secondly, they have an extensive network of contacts to help you secure the best deal!

Furthermore, a certified agent offers peace of mind by handling paperwork, inspections, and legalities, minimizing risks and streamlining the process. In a dynamic and competitive market like Amsterdam, having a certified real estate agent is not just beneficial—it's essential for a successful and stress-free property transaction.
