Chantal had done her due diligence and hadn't approached us lightly. When we arrived, well-prepared, the choice for her was clear and a logical one. During the sales support period, she experienced our firm as steadfast, decisive, and a strong communicator as a team. On top of that, Isabeau's compelling passion for staging and image was precisely the extra effort that made everything a success. Now, Chantal is continuing her adventurous life elsewhere, but looks back on this period with satisfaction and gratitude.

Her life of traveling the world means she works with different standards and expectations, and she herself is incredibly driven to be flexible. And that's where the fundamental connection immediately came: selling together, wanting to experience the process as something light, being accessible to each other, and acting with taste, decisiveness, and knowledge. She enjoyed it. So did we.
"Your lack of bias, the flexibility of switching gears, and the fundamental understanding that communication is primarily about listening—that's where both Helen and Heather excelled." She laughs. "Yes, I know I'm demanding, I'm very aware of that..."

Selling our first apartment was a daunting experience. We weren't sure what to expect. On the recommendation of a good friend, we contacted Susan Bosma. Her professionalism, expertise, and enthusiasm were immediately apparent during our first conversation.

Working with Carla van den Brink Real Estate Agents feels familiar and natural. Like us, they are true Amsterdam entrepreneurs, with a heart for the city and its people. Our family has been connected to Amsterdam for generations. In 1970, we opened Arnold Cornelis pastry shop on Van Baerlestraat, and later on Elandsgracht as well. Since then, we have welcomed Amsterdammers to moments of celebration in various stages of life. This is also what has connected Carla van den Brink to Amsterdammers since 1979. Both are family businesses with the same passion for craftsmanship, personal attention, and connecting generations. Leny Cornelis sold her house with the Carla van den Brink team. We were also able to count on them when finding a new home for Linda and Maaik. Linda's daughter, Esmée, now lives on Van Baerlestraat again. Thus, the circle of generations in Amsterdam is complete. For us, Carla van den Brink Real Estate Agents is more than just a real estate agency. They know the city inside and out and think along with you at every stage of life, in a way that truly suits Amsterdam.
