Six years ago, during a working visit to Amsterdam, he fell in love with the city, and that romance continued happily when he moved here two years later. After years of successful business here, he was able to leave renting behind and buy something. Not only for himself, but certainly also for his cat, Gijsje. And that they are now the owners of something beautiful and wonderful is partly, if not primarily, due to Heather's expert advice and her timely intervention when a wrong choice threatened to be made. With a caring and steady hand, they were guided through everything, a financial disaster was averted, and all other obstacles were overcome. Thank you, Heather!

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.

We viewed over a hundred houses, and you'd think the real estate agent would have called it a day, but no, Hellen and Heather from Carla van den Brink still had the cheerful courage to guide us in a different direction and, so to speak, start all over again—fantastic. So, as an advisor, you give the client all the time and space to explore, search, and, above all, grow in the process. After all, we, with our completely different backgrounds, still had to reach an agreement. And even after that final decision, there was still positive care and attention—something you won't find, so special.

After being confronted with numerous horror stories about buying a house in an overheated housing market, nothing could be further from the truth. Carla van den Brink Real Estate Agency—in the person of Susan Bosma—guided us expertly and professionally in every aspect, making the various phases flow seamlessly together.
