Mrs Bijl
I would recommend this broker

I recommend this estate agent to everyone. We have experienced Vogelenzang de Jong makelaardij as very pleasant. Our purchase agent was Pascal de Nijs, he is honest, involved, decisive, expert and a pleasant person to work with. Pascal knew a lot about the neighbourhood and he was honest, gave constructive criticism about the house and the environment. Thanks to his decisive approach we have ''won'' the bidding war. Pascal is very easy to reach by phone, we could always call him when we had questions. Because of our good experience, we have also used Vogelenzang en de Jong as a selling agent for the sale of our current house.

Mr van der Zee
I would recommend this broker

After having bought and sold a house 8 years earlier, I very deliberately chose to work with Vogelenzang de Jong again. And rightly so. I feel very well supported again in all kinds of areas. Personally, but also professionally. And that was necessary because there were several hurdles to take, legally, in the selection process as well as in reacting alertly and in negotiating. Arnoud has helped me stay focused on what is important for me, also in the long run. And that is nice, because buying a house is exciting, so being able to trust your real estate agent is very nice!

Erik knows how to win trust quickly and how to build a sincere and good relationship. That is important, because buying/selling a house is not something you do very often.

Mr. Joris Telgen
I would recommend this broker

Agreements correctly honoured. Received excellent feedback on a regular basis during the sales process. Good market vision and sales guidance, both for me as a seller, but also for the buyer. It is not the cheapest estate agent, but all value for money. And cheap is very relative and well worth the money. What matters in the end, of course, is the end result and the overall picture. And that was such that I can heartily recommend this estate agent (Arnoud) to you.

Mr Van Roosmalen
I would recommend this broker

We had a good discussion beforehand about what would be a strategically good selling price. Received advice regarding photos and video. At viewings and negotiations completely relieved and had an advisory role, but left the final decision to us. Totally good price/quality ratio and would recommend everyone to work with Vogelenzang de Jong for the sale of a house.

We are very satisfied with Arnoud Adriaanse who guided us well during the entire process. He has a very good view of the housing market and he was always available. At the end of one part of the day Arnoud gave us a short overview of those who were interested. Very knowledgeable estate agent who knows what he is talking about. Also, the back office is easily accessible and kept us informed about the status of the number of scheduled viewings.
