The beginning of a success story…
It all started with the purchase of their new home. The men of ECHT Makelaars & Taxateurs, as Martina and Ronald say themselves, were highly recommended by their purchasing agent. The couple was looking for a nice real estate agent with business expertise. "It all went very smoothly," says Martina. The click between the sellers and real estate agent Laurens was immediate. With the help of stylist Nikki from HUISS Styling from Alkmaar, they prepared their newly renovated house for sale. This is completely free of charge for sellers during the sales process via ECHT Makelaars & Taxateurs. ECHT Makelaars & Taxateurs works with a fixed number of people, a permanent interior stylist who sympathizes with the atmosphere in the house and a good photographer who takes realistic photos of the home.
''If you are going to do business with each other, whether you are going to buy a kitchen or a bicycle, I think you should go through a door together in a fun way... there is ECHT Makelaars & Taxateurs good at!''
The online bidding tool: transparency creates trust
The Houtbos 2 was popular: there were many viewings and enthusiastic buyers on the coast. This gave Martina and Ronald the opportunity to sell their home via the NVM online bidding tool. How exactly does that work? The NVM online bidding tool was devised to provide transparency in the entire bidding process. Via an account, interested parties on Houtbos 2 could see what other interested parties had bid and the conditions of their bid. Ronald says: "It was possible to bid on our house for five days, but the bidding only started an hour before the closing date." They couldn't believe their eyes: there were many offers and thanks to the NVM online bidding tool, they sold their home for a good price.ECHT Makelaars & Taxateurs is the first real estate agent in Alkmaar to work with this system.

Service with a bit of fun
How does the couple view the service of ECHT Makelaars & Taxateurs? Well, imagine describing that in three words! Professionally enthusiastic, modern and completely up-to-date, that is how Martina and Ronald experienced the service. "The service is good now, in a relaxed atmosphere with a joke here and there," says Martina. And that's completely true because, for example, they are in a WhatsApp group together. This makes ''doing business'' accessible and you can simply send an app in the evening. For the couple, it felt like a temporary friendship. And also special: the sale of the Houtbos 2 is one of the first sales processes ECHT Makelaars & Taxateurs was allowed to do.
"Laurens is super enthusiastic, he runs ahead of you, he sees things that we think: other real estate agents would not see."
And do you think now? That good service must be priceless? No! The brokers do their work for a very competitive price. And also nice to know: did you already know that? ECHT Makelaars & Taxateurs work with many local entrepreneurs? In any case, it has inspired Martina and Ronald to buy things locally for their new home.
A REALLY different view
Real estate agent Laurens literally did viewings for three days to REALLY personally show the house to interested parties. In this crazy housing market, no open day is organized. REALLY distinctive, right?
Tips from Martina & Ronald
Are you thinking about selling your home? A first tip from Ronald: Make sure the house is tidy, often you can't even see what else you can tidy up! In addition, ask the sales agent whether they work with a permanent or temporary photographer. In our case that was REALLY decisive ECHT Makelaars & Taxateurs works with a good permanent photographer. And if you can't figure out how to sell or clean up your house, ask someone who knows this, for example Nikki from HUISS Styling. That's REALLY important. And a number of bonus tips: find a real estate agent who gives your buyers personal attention, don't be afraid to ask questions, get someone who suits you well, who you trust and who has a vision of today's housing market.
