Hey! Makelaars

"My husband and I are incredibly grateful to Mattijs for helping us find and buy our home in Schiedam. Buying a house is already quite stressful, especially in the Netherlands, but Mattijs made the whole process so much easier. From the beginning, he was approachable, honest, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. What we appreciated most was that we never felt like just another client. Mattijs genuinely cared about helping us find the right home and was always available when we needed advice or reassurance. His experience and guidance gave us confidence throughout the entire process. We truly believe that without Mattijs' support, expertise, and strategic advice, we would not have achieved such a great result and in such a tight timing! Today we are settling into a home that we love, and we couldn't be happier. We got more than we asked for! If you're looking for a makelaar who is professional, reliable, and genuinely invested in his clients, we can wholeheartedly recommend Mattijs. Thank you for helping us achieve such an important milestone, we will always be grateful for your help!!!"

"Great service from Hey! Clear communication and guidance making the process smooth. Highly recommend"

"We bought an apartment with the help of Hey Makelaars. Before this, we had no experience with agents, and we had heard mixed opinions. Some people even advised us not to use one. Still, we decided to try Hey’s service, and we are glad we did. Matthijs was very helpful from the start. We had an initial meeting to discuss our preferences, and he created a WhatsApp group where we easily coordinated viewings and shared ideas. He was always responsive, which made the process smooth. After visiting a few units, we were ready to place our first bid. However, Matthijs noticed our hesitation and advised us to wait and consider another option. That advice made a big difference. It helped us feel confident and comfortable with our decision, knowing we were not rushing into something. When we found the right apartment, he guided us through the bidding process. He handled everything, and we only needed to review the documents, confirm, and proceed with payment. We even managed to bid below the valuation report and still got accepted. The entire process took about two months, from the first meeting to us writing this review in our new apartment. We are very happy with the service. Communication was clear, and the process was straightforward and stress free. We highly recommend Matthijs and Hey Makelaars."

"Hey makelaars is very helpful in finding our home especially as expats, expert advise and always hands on when it comes to guiding us on strategies to find the perfect fit for us special thank you for matthijs and gazelle, they have provided guidance for us until the end of the housing process even after buying the house, they are still giving advice, I would highly recommend them!"

"We recently worked with Hey Makelaars to find our single-family home in Capelle aan den IJssel, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. As expats, we were worried about navigating the Dutch housing market, but Hey Makelaars made everything so much easier. Their guidance—especially around how to bid properly—was incredibly valuable. They explained the strategy clearly, gave realistic advice based on the market, and thanks to that, our very first bid was accepted. We were honestly amazed. They are also extremely expat‑friendly, patient, and easy to communicate with. Every step felt well‑guided, professional, and supportive. If you’re looking for a reliable and knowledgeable real estate partner—especially as an expat—Hey Makelaars is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!"

"Beste Martthijs, Graag willen wij onze dank betuigen. Wij hebben een buitengewoon fijne en prettige samenwerking ervaren. Vanaf het eerste contactmoment voelden wij ons serieus genomen. Alles werd helder, transparant en met veel geduld uitgelegd. Er werd écht de tijd voor ons genomen geen haast, geen standaardproces, maar échte persoonlijke aandacht. Wat wij bijzonder waarderen, is dat u als makelaar ( Hey!) mensen direct op hun gemak weet te stellen. De verkoop van een woning is voor velen een spannende en emotionele stap, maar door uw rustige benadering, duidelijke communicatie en oprechte betrokkenheid ontstaat er vertrouwen. Dat stelde ons enorm gerust en wij denken dat juist dát is wat veel mensen zoeken in een makelaar. Het feit dat u een familiebedrijf bent, maakt het verschil. Die warmte, betrokkenheid en oprechte interesse voelen niet als een massaproduct, maar als maatwerk. Uw vrouw verzorgde de fotografie op een prachtige en professionele manier, met oog voor detail en sfeer. Dat gaf onze woning precies de uitstraling die nodig was. Het geheel voelde als een goed afgestemd team waarin kwaliteit en aandacht centraal staan. Wij hebben uw gegevens ontvangen via mijn oude buurvrouw, voor wie u eveneens succesvol de verkoop heeft begeleid. Zij was destijds zeer tevreden en wij kunnen dat volledig beamen. Het gehele verkoopproces is netjes, transparant en zorgvuldig verlopen. Dat geeft vertrouwen. Dank voor uw betrokkenheid, uw professionaliteit en uw toewijding. Mocht er in de toekomst opnieuw een woning verkocht worden, dan zullen wij zonder enige twijfel opnieuw contact met u opnemen. Tevens bevelen wij u van harte aan bij anderen een absolute aanrader voor iedereen die een betrouwbare, warme en deskundige makelaar zoekt. Met oprechte dank ook aan u vrouw. Luna & Michael"

"What an absolute pleasure to deal with Hey Makelaars. The sale of our apartment was quick and easy because of how efficient Matthijs is. Communication throughout the process kept us informed and updated. Matthijs managed to sell our property only 2 weeks after listing! I would highly recommend his services."

"Highly recommend Hey! Makelaars to anyone to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated real estate agent. From the very beginning, Matthijs took the time to understand my needs and preferences. He was very knowledgeable about the local market and provided clear, honest advice throughout the process. Communication was excellent and every question I had was answered promptly and thoroughly. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thanks Hey! Makelaars for helping me to secure my dream home!"

"Won't gate keep this gem of an agent! He was highly professional, knowledgeable, and resourceful from day one, ensuring a smooth and informed purchase process for me. When issues arose with the sellers or other parties, he took care of things behind the scenes, significantly reducing my stress. You can rest assured that your interests are being well looked after. Grateful that my dream home was found so quickly!"

"I had a great experience working with Hey! Makelaar for an apartment purchase in Rotterdam. Communication was fast and clear, Matthijs guided me through every step, and his advice during viewings and negotiations was spot-on. Professional, proactive, and genuinely pleasant to work with — highly recommended."

"I had an outstanding experience working with Matthijs as my real estate agent. Coming into the process, I had absolutely no prior knowledge of the housing market in Rotterdam. From the very beginning, Matthijs guided me through every step with patience, clarity, and professionalism. He was incredibly responsive — often pointing out things I would never have noticed on my own — and always made sure I fully understood what was happening and what my options were. I was very lucky to secure a home much faster than I expected, and Matthijs continued to help out until the purchase was completed. Even afterward, he offered his advice and lists of practical questions and follow-ups that were truly beneficial for me who is first time home buyer. I would highly recommend Matthijs and his team to anyone who is looking for a great real estate agent!"

"Hey! Makelaars - Matthijs and Gazelle - were very helpful since Day 1. They always respond to questions and they answer it clearly and in detail. Matthijs, being an engineer as well, knows his stuff very well. With his engineering background, he can also give you a lot of tips (including technical ones) for the house that you are buying. They made sure that we were well prepared during the whole process. In terms of what to check during the viewing, how to make a decent offer, and up until the notary signing, they make sure you have everything you need. I definitely recommend Hey! Makelaars and I am sure you will not be disappointed."

"We contacted this agency to purchase our first home in Rotterdam and it was an incredible experience. From the very first meeting, they proved to be extremely competent, knowledgeable about the city's market and, above all, very kind and helpful. They were always there to support us throughout the entire purchase process. We could never have done it without their help. I highly recommend Hey!Makelaars, especially to expats who want to buy a home in Rotterdam. You won't find any other estate agent who is so helpful and attentive to your needs. Their focus on customer service is unique. At the property transfer, they gave us this lovely gift that really touched us."
