Testimonials
I would highly recommend Sjouke's services. I had a really good experience going through the house hunting process with Sjouke. His knowledge about the area was very helpful and he goes the extra mile (he personally attended house a viewing on my behalf when I was away from the country). He also sets the expectations right at the beginning. I really appreciate his patience throughout the entire journey as purchasing a house is a big decision for anyone. He is also very meticulous when it comes to inspecting a house so that's very useful. Overall, absolute pleasure and thanks again for everythingJeff Lin
Sjouke is an excellent real estate agent - very responsive, dedicated, friendly and efficient. He makes a big effort to accommodate requests and to make the process of buying a house as seamless as possible! Thank you Sjouke!Christina Lowe
Sjouke really helped my husband and I with finding our dream house! He was very patient and meticulous and made sure we ticked all of our boxes and kept looking with us until we found our perfect match! Highlight recommend working with him as the process was really great, enjoyable and his support was really appreciated through this tough market!Camille Elzir
We hired Sjouke as buying agent and he supported through the entire process. He is knowledgeable about the Utrecht market and is particularly well tuned to the needs of expat buyers with scheduling and accompanying for house viewings. He also suggests possible renovations needed with contractor options (though we went with others for this). I would recommend him for sure if anyone looking for a buying agent in Utrecht area.Dhiraj Gururaju
Sjouke supported us to find our dream house. He is very detailed in his work, always gave us good advice and I could even say was more picky than us when it comes to the feedback on visited houses :D Highly recommend Sjouke to help you find your home!Jad Zeidan
