Really great help from Sake with the purchase of our first house. Buying a house can be very stressful at times. Sake has a lot of expertise and is always calm which is very nice at such moments ;) he is easy to reach and switches very quickly. In addition, he put us in touch with several relevant parties which made the whole purchase go smoothly. I will definitely use homeup again the next time we buy a house!

Great Experience. I had been looking for an apartment for almost 8 months before Nobel Mortgages recommended Sake from homeup to me and the purchase process was resolved pretty quickly after that. I had always thought that hiring a real estate agent was unnecessary and that I could just do it myself, but having a professional handle the negotiations and purchase had a great and very favorable impact on the final price for me.

I had a very good experience with Homeup when selling my apartment in Amsterdam, and then also when buying a new apartment. The sales process went smoothly and I got a decent price for my apartment. Everything was very well organized by Homeup. Sake from homeup was extremely professional and showed a lot of commitment. He was active and proactive in the sales process, so everything went smoothly. I can definitely recommend homeup to anyone who wants a smooth selling experience when selling their apartment.

When we were told that we would have to leave our (sub)rented house within a short period of time and there was nothing affordable to find in the rental sector, panic set in. The fear of ending up on the street with our 7 dogs was real and our intensive search yielded nothing time after time. At one point I responded to a rental property that was offered by HoMeUp and (for the first time ever) within a short time I was called by the real estate agent. He told me honestly that we had a number of dogs, that we were missing out on everything and that I was close to despair.

Billy was a tower of strength, reassuring me every time I lost hope that we would find something in time, even though it would be a challenge (he was honest about that too). We ended up buying rather than renting, exactly in the neighborhood where we wanted to stay. Thanks to Billy Brouwer of HoMeUp and his mortgage advisor Louis Collignon, we now have a lovely home, despite our rather limited budget and our pack of dogs.

A challenge, that's what we were, but one that Billy and Louis took on with enthusiasm and they proved to me that the world is not yet over. I am forever grateful and will recommend you to anyone who is looking as hard as we were.Thank you both so much, especially for your moral support and approachability.I have been able to rely on you both completely, thank you.

I am a foreigner living in the Netherlands, and working with Sake as my real estate agent was an absolute game-changer. Making a big decision, like buying a house abroad, can be difficult, but he made sure the whole process went smoothly.

From the beginning, he took the time to understand my needs and concerns, especially given my unfamiliarity with the Dutch real estate market. He provided clear and comprehensive explanations of each step and was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small.

His expertise and knowledge of the local market were invaluable and definitely helped me secure a fantastic home at a great price!

Sake helped us close on our dream home, where we didn't get a viewing until the day of the bid closing.

Although it was slightly outside his scope of work and not the most interesting offer, he managed to convince the selling broker to recommend us to the seller.

I would recommend him to help other expats in their search for a house in the Netherlands.

As an American living in the Netherlands, I was convinced that owning a house in Amsterdam was a distant dream, especially given the competitive market and my budget. I had all but given up on the idea of buying a home, thinking it was simply unfeasible. Until I met Sake from HomeUp.

From the beginning, Sake was not only knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly supportive and reassuring. He took the time to understand my concerns and understood what I was looking for in a home. Despite my initial doubts, he encouraged me to trust the process, and I am so grateful that I did.

Thanks to Sake's guidance, I am now a proud homeowner in Amsterdam - something I never thought possible as a millennial, especially in this market. His expertise and dedication made what seemed like an impossible task not only achievable, but smooth and stress-free.

If you want to buy a house in the Netherlands, I can highly recommend Sake and HomeUp. He made my dream of owning my own home a reality, and for that I will always be grateful!

Within 2 months we had found our home! In terms of costs and benefits, HomeUp is an excellent choice. We were very clear about which package was most beneficial to us. Should (or when) we decide we need to switch, we will definitely choose HomeUp again.

Thanks!!!

We can highly recommend Sake from Homeup B.V.! His support was fantastic from the beginning. He took the time to understand our wants and needs for a new home and his communication was crystal clear throughout the process. Thanks to his ability to explain everything in an understandable way, we never felt lost or confused, even as expats who don't speak Dutch.

In the end, we won our dream home with a successful bid and we are convinced that this would not have been possible without his expertise. Not only did he secure the house, but he did it efficiently, making the process run smoothly and avoiding unnecessary delays.

The icing on the cake? Sake works with fair and honest prices. We are thrilled with our new home and thank Sake for his incredible service. If you are looking for a real estate agent who is helpful, communicative, competent and gets the best results, look no further! My husband and I will definitely recommend Sake to all of our close friends.
