Homes for Expats Reviews 9

We used Homes for Expats when moving to the Netherlands and we were incredibly impressed with them. We had originally planned to go with a different company and we’re told that there were not many apartments available for us. We were growing increasingly and frustrated with that other company and I reached out to a friend to express my frustration. He recommended Homes for Expats and that same day that I was told there wasn’t much out there for us regarding a home with cats. Homes for Expats showed me seven apartments!!! They were amazing, professional, and I won’t do another transaction without them. I have recommended them to everyone. When we arrived our agent went above and beyond we felt like we were very well taken care of. Thank you Homes for Expats!!

The Dutch housing market for me is incredibly frustrating and stressful to navigate, and finding a property would have been impossible if it weren't for Cherene and her team. She is always available for a call and has seemingly an endless amount of patience.
The most important for me though is her being the voice of reason to know when to walk away from a deal, because after months of searching you find yourself just wanting to settle on anything.
She understands the market and when its good value vs overpaying, and she has a lazer eye to spot any defects or potential costly repairs

I subsequently needed to relocate due to work, and my first call again was to Cherene to help me with the sale of my property.
Lauren assisted with finding an apartment to rent in the meantime, and now Yvette is assisting me with my next purchase. Such good service that I went back twice!

I'd have absolutely zero hesitation in recommending Homes-For-Expats

I couldn’t have wished for a better makelaar. Cherene supported me through buying and selling, and Lauren with renting, and at every step they put me as a person first.
From the very beginning, they were incredibly empathetic, attentive, and professional, always listening carefully to my needs and making sure I felt understood. What meant the most to me is that they never made me feel alone in the process — I felt supported, guided, and reassured the entire time.

They explained everything clearly, made all the processes much easier, and were always available when I needed advice or reassurance. Their attention to detail and genuine care gave me so much peace of mind.

Honestly, I couldn’t have found someone better. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and truly human makelaar who makes a stressful process feel safe and manageable.

I would like to compliment Cherene and her team for their excellent and personalised service. Being relatively new to the Dutch housing market, they helped make the process of buying a new home easy and pain-free. Thank you again for all your assistance!

Cherene has really been invaluable in her help through the journey of buying a house here in the Netherlands, it's not easy for an expat to navigate through. She's kind, humourous and highly professional. I definitely would recommend her to anyone looking to go through the process of buying a house in the Netherlands. Thank you Cherene!

Amazing experience!!!

Cherene and her team are absolutely amazing, we had our eyes set on a home just perfect for our family and they made it happen. Without her it would have been impossible.

Thank you so much for making this journey so easy and possible.

We arrived in the Netherlands knowing that finding a home can be challenging. Our daughter had engaged with Homes For Expats and was extremely satisfied, so she connected us to one of their associates. Our experience was better than we expected. The agent listened to our needs and desires, and quickly found several options within our budget that met all of our criteria. She then provided assistance with securing the home we chose and we had a lease finalized in less than a week. Homes For Expats also provided assistance with setting up our utilities and explained how to work with our Gemmente to get registered. We highly recommend Homes For Expats and will use them again ourselves when we move this coming summer.

Our experience with Homes for Expats was amazing. We worked with Nicky, but the entire team was wonderful and truly go above and beyond. We had a really difficult situation when first moving to the Netherlands and Homes for Expats helped pull us up so we could succeed. Not only with housing but also guidance, kindness, and a wealth of helpful knowledge. I highly recommend Homes for Expats.

Don't recommend. My experience was beyond terrible.
