Expat housing agent reviews from people we helped
Read our expat housing agent reviews and see how other expats found a home in the Netherlands with our rental services, home buying support, and DAFT visa. Every story here comes from someone who was in the same situation as you navigating a new country, a new housing market, and a lot of questions.
If you are thinking about renting or buying in the Netherlands as an expat, take a moment to explore these reviews and get a feeling for how we work and how we support our clients from first contact to moving in.
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. She explained how the Dutch real estate market works and how she would assist us.
When it came time to start viewing properties, Kady sent incredibly detailed videos and messages about the properties we requested. When we asked different questions about the condition and/or her opinion, she was very honest and it felt like she was looking out for our best interest. We found a property we loved and she put in a lot of time and effort to help us secure it.
After moving, she checked-in to make sure we were settled. She gave some advice on how to document the apartment condition so we will not lose our security deposit upon move out.
If you are moving from abroad, we can't recommend Homes for Expats enough. They helped to make make a very big and stressful move more manageable.

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, and celebrated all the little moments with us. Even though we were eager to buy, they encouraged us to keep looking and not just settle for anything that was available. We are so happy we trusted their process, because it led us to our perfect home.
Thank you, Cherene and Yvette, for all your guidance, patience and support. We couldn't have asked for a better experience buying our first home in the Netherlands! ❤️

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. This was 2 years ago (2024).
We reached out to them and met Jessica. We had specifics in what we wanted in our search for a house. Jessica treated us with the utmost patience, even after changing the criteria for the area more than once.
I would recommend Homes for Expats a thousand times over and over. Thank you, Jessica and team. Forever grateful!

Response from the owner:Dear Hershelle and Ethel,
Thank you so much for this incredibly lovely review.
I love that you first found Homes for Expats at an expat fair two years ago and that we have now been part of your journey to finding your home in the Netherlands.
Sometimes what you think you are looking for changes once the search actually begins, and that is completely okay. The important thing is taking the time to find the home and area that are right for you.
Thank you for recommending Homes for Expats a thousand times over. That really made me smile. We are so happy we could be part of your journey.
Warmest regards,
Cherene

Homes for Expats: Professional, Caring and Honest
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 for securing our rentals. Our second effort was the most ambitious and challenging as we needed to find someone to take on our first lease as we moved into our second rental. Kady, Cherene and the rest of the team were determined and quickly successful in securing a new tenant acceptable to the owner of our now-former rental and moving us into a new home overlooking the Rhine and Rembrandtplaats. Without Kady’s persistence, professionalism, honesty and creativity on both ends of the transactions it would not have happened. Now we can relax on our terrace and watch the boats passing by, and all within a 10 minute walk of Leiden Centraal. We thank Kady and Cherene and highly recommend them whether you are renting or buying!

Thank you so much for this amazing review.
The fact that you chose Homes for Expats not once, but twice, means a great deal to us. Your second move certainly came with a few extra challenges, but I am so happy we managed to get everything to come together and get you into your new home.
And what a home! Sitting on your terrace overlooking the Rhine and watching the boats go by sounds like a pretty fantastic ending to this particular housing journey.
Thank you for choosing Homes for Expats again and for recommending us so highly. Enjoy that gorgeous view and your new home.

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 and helping with questions and issues after check-in.
After hearing about the difficulties so many other expats have faced finding housing, we feel especially grateful that we had the opportunity to work with Giselle. She made a potentially stressful international move so much easier, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

Response from the owner:Dear Caitlin,
Thank you so much for your lovely review.
Finding and securing a home before you have even arrived in the Netherlands takes a lot of trust, and I am so pleased that we could make that part of your move so much easier.
I also love that you mentioned the support after you moved in. For us, getting the keys is not where our relationship with our clients ends. We are still here when those questions pop up once you are actually living in your new home.
Thank you for choosing Homes for Expats and for recommending us so highly. I hope you are settling in beautifully and really enjoying your new home in the Netherlands.

Buying property in the Netherlands as a foreigner is hard. There is far more to think about - and act on - than you expect. What makes the difference is having someone who works proactively, keeps things moving, arranges the calls and the viewings, and helps you get through piles of documents.
Nicky at Homes For Expats is exactly that kind of partner: reliable, proactive, energetic. She took a huge load off my shoulders, handling every detail of the process - minor and major - making sure things progressed as fast as possible, and keeping every aspect of a complex project under control.
Huge help. I couldn't have done it without you, Nicky. Thank you!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review.
Buying a home in the Netherlands comes with a mountain of paperwork and so many things that need to happen at exactly the right time. I am so pleased to hear that you felt we took some of that weight off your shoulders and kept everything moving for you.
Congratulations on your new home and thank you for putting your trust in Homes for Expats. I hope you are incredibly happy there.

We had a great experience with Kady at Homes for Expats! She made the process so easy and gave us the realistic expectations and reassurance we needed to get through the process and find our home. She even went above and beyond in coming after we arrived to help us figure out how to get our microwave/oven to work. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Dear Andie Mae,
Thank you so much for your lovely review.
I am so happy to hear that you felt reassured and knew what to realistically expect throughout your search. The rental market can be tough, but having the right expectations from the beginning makes such a difference.
I did have a little laugh about the microwave oven. Sometimes our job extends into unexpected territory! I love that we could help you with the little things after you arrived as well.

Cherene and her team helped us buy our first home in Amsterdam and we couldn't recommend Homes for Expats more highly.
Cherene was meticulous, professional, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for us. In such a competitive market, it was incredibly reassuring to feel that we had someone firmly on our side. Her advice was always clear, honest and well considered, giving us real confidence throughout the process. Cherene and her team were warm, welcoming, and genuinely lovely.

Cannot recommend Homes for Expats and Jessica enough! She was really helpful, took the time to understand what I wanted and was looking for, and generally made the process feel manageable and enjoyable. Home for Expats helped me at every step of the process, including putting me in touch with a mortgage advisor. Would recommend them to anyone looking to buy in Amsterdam!

HomesForExpats is excellent. Nicky was helpful and responsive every step of the way. She answered all our questions and was a delight to meet up with while we were on our scouting trip and after we made our move. We have referred her to many of our friends already, and will continue to do so. We will certainly use her services again as needed.
Response from the owner:Dear David,

Thank you for recommending Homes for Expats to your friends. There is no greater compliment, and we truly appreciate your trust and support. We look forward to helping you again whenever you need us.

We really appreciated working with Giselle and Lauren during our search for a rental home in the Netherlands. They were knowledgeable about the realities of the market (supply, cost, availability, and speed of movement) and communicative throughout the process. Giselle was patient with us as we sorted out in real-time what our needs were, and quick to support us when we found a place we really wanted. I appreciated how quickly Giselle arranged a visit for us to see our apartment in Haarlem, and her presence on-site for both our tour and during our final inspection before signing the lease. She helped us to bring an offer on time that landed us in an apartment we love for our transition into Haarlem and the Netherlands.
Response from the owner:Dear Harlan-Ferlo & Carillio Family,
Thank you so much for your lovely review.
I am so pleased to hear that you found a home you love in Haarlem. The rental market can be incredibly competitive, so having the right guidance and moving quickly when the right property comes along really does make all the difference.

We worked with Giselle to find our home in Amstelveen and it was amazing experience from start to finish. Giselle is a consummate professional who goes above and beyond for her clients. Even though we were in different time zones, Giselle was always accessible and stayed in touch. We ended up with an amazing house that fits our needs as a family, and I know we ended up in a great house because of Giselle's knowledge and expertise. I'd highly recommend Homes for Expats and Giselle!

The Homes for Expats team was an absolute pleasure to work with! We worked with Laura to find a home for our family in Den Haag, and she was an excellent partner throughout the process. She understood what we were looking for and worked to arrange viewings for us on a tight schedule back in the spring. And the entire team was invaluable in navigating the bureaucracy of buying a home before we arrived in the country.

Yvette at Homes for Expats has been absolutely amazing throughout our entire relocation process. From the very beginning, she communicated clearly, responded to all of our questions, and truly advocated for us while we were closing our chapter in the U.S. and preparing for our new life in the Netherlands.
She is warm, thorough, professional, and incredibly patient. As a mom herself, she understood not only the logistics of the move, but also how important it was for our children to feel settled and supported during such a big transition.
When we arrived in the Netherlands, Yvette met us at our new rental home, walked through the house with my husband, and warmly welcomed us to the place we would call home for the next year. We are eternally grateful for her kindness, care, and guidance.
We would highly recommend Homes for Expats, and if Yvette is available, request her. She is truly amazing. We could not have asked for a better makelaar.

Cherene was fantastically responsive and worked hard to find us a place that ticked all our boxes.

Jessica from Homes for Expats helped me buy my first apartment, in Amsterdam. She was great to work with throughout the process. Buying a home was daunting, especially as a first-time buyer on my own, but she made every step feel much more manageable.
She came to viewings, pointing out issues I would have missed and offering practical ideas for how I could make the space my own. Communication was always quick and easy, and I felt well supported from start to finish. Thank you Jessica!

Finding your first rental in the Netherlands as an expat can feel overwhelming, but Nicky made the entire experience genuinely enjoyable! From the very start, she was responsive, warm, and clearly knew exactly what we were looking for. What really stood out was how proactive she was.
Because we couldn't be there ourselves, we had to put a lot of trust in Nicky. She absolutely earned it. She attended viewings for us, sent us videos, and made sure we understood the process every step of the way. That peace of mind was everything.
She guided us through every step with patience and expertise, and the whole process felt surprisingly smooth. We found a beautiful furnished home that ticked most boxes for us, and we honestly couldn't be happier.
Nicky is exactly the kind of makelaar you want in your corner when you're navigating a new country. We will absolutely be coming back to her when it's time to find our next place. Highly, highly recommend!

Finding your first rental in the Netherlands when you cannot even be here for the viewings takes a huge amount of trust, so I am really happy that you felt you were in good hands.
Even better, you found a home that ticked the boxes and that you are genuinely happy with. That is exactly what we wanted for you.

Our Makelaar Nicky was incredible. She paid special attention to our needs, even when those needs changed. We landed in exactly the place we wanted, and would definitely use their services again.
Response from the owner:Dear Blake,
Thank you so much for your lovely review.
I am so happy that you guys ended up exactly where you wanted to be. Needs can change as you go through the search and actually start seeing properties, and that is completely normal. What matters is finding the home that ultimately feels right for you.
Thank you for choosing Homes for Expats. We would absolutely love to help you again in the future.
Warm regards,
Cherene

I had a perfect experience working with Cherene & Yvette! From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, encouraging, and supportive throughout the entire process. Buying a home can be quite stressful, but she made it feel much more manageable and even enjoyable at times.
She was always available to answer questions, quick to respond, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I really appreciated how she kept me informed at every step and made sure I felt confident in my decisions.
What stood out most was her positive attitude and genuine care and her encouraging words regarding buying alone and as a young woman.
She really goes above and beyond for her clients. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and kind makelaar.

It was an absolute pleasure helping you buy your home. I remember our conversations about buying on your own and how big this decision felt, and I hope you know how incredibly proud you should be of yourself. Buying your own home as a young woman is such a big deal, and I was genuinely so happy to be in your corner while you did it.
Thank you for trusting me and Homes for Expats with such an important moment in your life. I hope you are incredibly happy in your gorgeous new home. You deserve it.

Cherene was amazing to work with. As first-time homebuyers, we had no idea what to expect, but she walked us through every step of the process and always took the time to answer our questions. We'd absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.
Response from the owner:Dear Iwona,
Thank you so much for this incredibly lovely review.
It was an absolute pleasure helping you buy your first home. I know how many questions come with buying for the first time, especially when you are navigating the Dutch housing market, so I am really happy that you always felt you could ask me anything and knew what was happening at every step.
There is something very special about seeing my clients get the keys to their first home, and I was so happy to share that moment with you.
Thank you for trusting me to guide you through it all. I hope you are incredibly happy in your new home.
Kindest regards,
Cherene
