The estate agents at De Graaf & Groot Makelaars work in a close team. We always allocate two contact persons to each individual client. This not only means that you have a regular contact person inside the office, but more importantly, someone is always available to act on your behalf.
De Graaf & Groot Makelaars is a widely respected estate agency with 50 years of experience in and around Amsterdam. An agency that justifies its fine reputation by providing dedicated, honest services. De Graaf & Groot Makelaars traditionally specialises in estate agency: buying and selling homes and other properties. But the company has expanded its business over the years to include a range of other relevant, associated services.

I was born and raised in Amstelveen. I studied in Amsterdam and have worked at De Graaf & Groot Makelaars since 2001. It was my first job and I never left. I live in the centre of Amsterdam with my wife and three kids and have no intention of leaving there either.

I was born in Amsterdam, studied at the University of Amsterdam and still live in Amsterdam. In fact, right behind our offices in Zuid. I started at De Graaf & Groot Makelaars after graduating, around 30 years ago. It became my second home and I’ve never been tempted to leave.

I moved to Amsterdam in 2006. It’s easily the prettiest, liveliest city in the Netherlands! I love biking through the city centre, particularly as dusk falls. I started in the Baarsjes neighbourhood, bought my first house in the Rivierenbuurt neighbourhood and have lived in the Hoofddorpplein neighbourhood since 2017. After graduating in hotel management, I worked as a sales manager for several hotel chains before switching to estate agency in 2010. I’ve worked at De Graaf & Groot Makelaars since 2015 and enjoy every minute of it.

Born in Laren (N-H), grew up in Kennemerland. After twelve beautiful years in Amsterdam for study and work, I have now been living in Bloemendaal with my family for over twenty years. So I know Kennemerland and the local housing market like the back of my hand. Buying or selling a house is often a very important moment. By listening well and working carefully, as your service provider I aim to support you in the best possible way.

After a successful career in fashion, I eagerly made the switch to real estate in 2018. I haven’t regretted that for a day! This wonderful profession is right up my street. I enjoy the houses, the people and Amsterdam every day. Buying or selling your house as well as possible is my drive. The keywords decisive, personal and perfectionist apply to me as a real estate agent. I am not satisfied until you are!

After three years working in corporate real estate at CBRE, I have embraced my true passion again: residential real estate brokerage. With two generations before me in real estate, my affinity for this profession developed at an early age. Every day I get satisfaction from working with special homes, guiding clients and the dynamics of Amsterdam. My bond with the city is strong; I grew up here and have been living in my beloved Jordaan for quite some time now. In my spare time I like to seek sporting challenges. For example, I proudly have a single handicap on the golf course and can regularly be found in the gym. With dedication and full commitment I strive to achieve the best results for my clients.
