Why buy with a real estate agent

Buy a house in Amsterdam with Engel & Völkers

A smooth home purchase with Engel & Völkers. Welcome to Engel & Völkers, where we understand that buying a home in Amsterdam is an important and exciting step.

Step 1: Mapping your needs and getting acquainted

First, we schedule a personal meeting with you where we get to know each other and identify your needs and criteria.
Here the following questions are central:

What type of property are you looking for: a house or an apartment?

  • Do you have a preferred neighborhood or area?

  • Minimum size of the home in square feet?

  • Number of bedrooms?

  • Outdoor space desired?

  • Any other specific preferences?

  • Have you mapped out your budget?

  • Have you spoken to a mortgage broker, if necessary? This is also valuable information for us.

Step 2: The service order

We will send you an order for services, detailing all agreements made, specific needs and the brokerage commission.

Become a local broker with an international network

After the order for services is formalized, we get straight to work and the search can begin.

What will we do?
