This is how we keep the buying process transparent and fair.
Exclusive supply of houses
Here you can find houses that you won't find on Funda or other platforms.

Decide how to buy your first home
Exclusive homes at a fixed price
We actively look for homes for people who buy first. The best part? We make overbidding unnecessary. That's how we make buying a home feasible again.
Bidding from with priority for social tenants
Do you live in social housing and want to move to a house for sale? Then you get priority with us!
Direction set? Here's how you buy your first home with us
We take a different approach than traditional real estate agents. We actively search for homes to offer to new buyers on the housing market. For a fixed price. And with priority for first-time buyers.That way you don't have to overbid and buying your first home becomes feasible again.
Create a search profile
Let us know your housing preferences such as location, price range and housing type. Based on your housing requirements, we will automatically forward you suitable properties.
Your mortgage around before you look
Bidding without the reservation of financing? That's a big risk. If the sale does not go through, you pay a penalty of 10% of the purchase price.
Together with our mortgage advisor and a well-known bank, we offer the mortgage certificate that gives you a guaranteed mortgage upfront.
Contact and house viewing
Housing match? We will contact you. At a time that suits you. So you can view the property.
Confirm the property
After the viewing, let us know if you want to buy the property. Yes? Then we will guide you through the follow-up process and ensure a stress-free purchase.
Unforgettable day!
It's done: the house is yours. Time to give it your own design. Enjoy your new life as a homeowner!

We know the market and your struggles as a starter very well. If we start working for you as a buying agent, you will have priority over our exclusive offer of houses and we will also help you search through Funda and other platforms for a home that matches your living wishes.
More stories of first-time buyers who thought it was impossible to buy a home
It was a great experience to have Sake as our real estate agent! He makes what seems complicated easy, takes the time to explain everything and gives his advice. We found our home within a few months and throughout the trip he was always available and responsive when we needed him. We definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home. Thank you Sake!
Sake helped and guided me incredibly well with the purchase of my first home! He is proactive, knowledgeable, involved and always quick and accessible. I can highly recommend him!
Sake from HomeUp helped me fantastically. What seemed impossible became a reality: buying a house in the neighborhood where I grew up. Sake is knowledgeable, quick, and honest. Thank you!
Sake from Homeup helped me in a way that far exceeded my expectations. Thanks to his quick, clear and personal approach, I found my first home in no time, something I probably wouldn't have succeeded without Homeup. He understood exactly what I was looking for and was always there for me, even during his vacation! The guidance through the whole process was top notch: clear, smooth and without fuss. As a starter I really felt heard and helped. I recommend Homeup to anyone looking for a real estate agent who really thinks with you and fights for you!
Sake did a great job guiding us through the purchase of our first home. He clearly mapped out the entire process and was proactive and involved from beginning to end. Highly recommended!
Very nicely helped by Sake in our search! He switches super fast with the right parties and takes a lot out of our hands. Because of his expertise we never worried for a moment and are enjoying our new home!
Because of Sake's great help we were able to buy our dream house in Utrecht! He was always available for questions and thought along with us. Definitely recommended!
We came to Sake on the recommendation of good friends, after hearing their enthusiastic stories about him. And rightly so: within a short time we too were successful in the search for our new house!
Since then we have already recommended Sake to three friends and they too have now found a home.What is so great about Sake is that he always communicates quickly and clearly. He takes care of everything and takes you by the hand during the whole buying process.
In addition, he has a fantastic network in Amsterdam, which opens many doors.In short: if you are looking for a purchase broker who is decisive, has a large network and above all is pleasant to work with, definitely call Sake!
Super nice and well advised by Sake from Home-up. As starters very inexperienced in the housing market and everything that comes with it, but Sake helped us very well and was always quick to act. No question was too crazy. I would definitely recommend Home-up as a buying agent.

Most asked questions about buying a house
Questions, doubts, vague real estate jargon: when you're about to buy a house, there's quite a lot on your mind. In addition to personal advice at every step of the process, we answer all your pressing (as well as less pressing) questions.
How do you buy a house as a starter?
After researching your financial options and calculating your maximum mortgage, you will enter the market. Hiring an estate agent is a smart move if you are buying your first house. We help you find and buy your first (dream) house within your budget.
How does the process of buying a house work?
Create a search profile, view properties that suit you, confirm your interest in a property and be guided every step of the way.
What is the difference between your exclusive housing offerings and the houses on Funda?
Homeup's exclusive housing offer consists of houses that you won't find on Funda or other platforms. Especially selected for starters looking for a house via homeup.
Do you also offer support in arranging a mortgage?
We specialize in selling houses. So we are not a mortgage broker ourselves, but we do work with licensed and reliable mortgage brokers who can arrange a mortgage for you.
What happens if there are multiple interested parties for the same property?
We only schedule a small number of viewings per property. That way we avoid having to disappoint people. Are there many interested parties? Then we let the seller choose or look at the date of registration. Whoever registered for the property first is the lucky one.
How can I update my search profile if my housing needs change?
You can always contact us to adjust your search profile or communicate your new housing needs to us.
