"Ed has helped me find and buy an apartment, and has been nothing but friendly and professional. He responds to any query quickly and with great expertise, inside or outside of office hours. He always takes the time to discuss anything from moisture in bathrooms to the surrounding neighbourhood, from ground lease (erfpacht) to different types of brickwork, and you can tell he has a passion for his field of work. He is careful not to push you to make any decision or rush you, and makes sure you're happy with your purchase, and guides you through all the necessary processes. Tersa has also been very helpful, sending a steady stream of suggestions for apartments to visit, which were more often ones I like as I sent her more feedback, even if I couldn't quite put my finger on what I did or didn't like about an apartment. The home I ended up purchasing was also suggested by her."

"We cannot recommend Ed enough. He is the most fantastic makelaar. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and kind and worked tirelessly to get us across the finish line. We felt like we could trust Ed entirely. He always had our best interest at heart which is not easy to find. His technical knowledge was invaluable during our search, as was his attention to detail. We felt protected and safe in Ed’s hands and knew he would guide us in making the right decisions whilst ensuring he did not sway our judgement. He fulfilled all our requests, even when these were not easy, and supported us through what is a very emotional process. His positive attitude made viewings fun, as did his good sense of humour! He was incredibly generous with his time, never made us feel rushed, and always showed understanding with how important this process was for us. Thank you also to Tersa who was also a joy to work with. If you are looking for a makelaar – no one will be better than Ed! We cannot thank him enough for helping us find our first flat in Amsterdam."

"Every once in a while you meet a master of his craft, Ed is one of them. From the beginning, we saw how knowledgeable he is, and how he patiently takes the time to explain things to us. We were given a realistic picture of the market and how we could streamline our expectations accordingly. There was a lot of mutual trust, and we saw how adroitly he handled negotiations. He was very good at reading people and situations, and always proposed a strategic and reasonable route. His communication has always been polite, prompt and precise, and we always felt that we could count on him. There are 2 points that stood out to us: - He is genuinely passionate about buildings and sees all the little details that can be easily missed out - He is sincere in wanting to help people Ed came highly recommended from our good friends and now we will also be proud to do the same."

"Als starters op de woningmarkt is Kouwen Real Estate onmisbaar geweest in de aankoop van ons huis. Tijdens deze zoektocht hebben wij onwijs veel geleerd van Ed zijn kennis. Het Kouwen Real Estate team heeft een persoonlijke aanpak en dacht echt met ons mee in dit process. Door Ed zijn adviezen gingen wij met een vertrouwd gevoel door het aankoop process heen."

"Deskundig en heel professioneel."

"Working with Ed was great! He is detail-oriented, responsive, and professional. For us as expats who are not familiar with the Dutch housing market and laws, Ed was a perfect help. Right From the beginning, he guided us through each step and double-checked every detail and document regarding the property and purchase. We recommend Ed to others who would like to buy a property in the Amsterdam area."

"Ed heeft me perfect begeleid bij de verkoop van mijn huis. Hij heeft me gaandeweg goed op de hoogte gehouden van alle ontwikkelingen, hij heeft me voorzien van goede adviezen, en heeft zich continu ingezet voor het beste resultaat. Ed is professioneel, deskundig en betrouwbaar. Ik had me geen fijnere makelaar kunnen wensen."
