The connection with Pieter-Joep has been there for a long time. His brainpower, market knowledge, integrity, and the ability to accurately assess the client's value—it's been crystal clear to Babiche and Steven for many, many years. "We" buy a house means to them: "together with the real estate agent." And that's what they've relived every time, culminating in a letter written by PJ to the previous owner of their last purchase. That goodwill, that extra guidance and direction—that's Van den Brink at its finest.

In the weeks before we bought our house, we cycled through Amsterdam, fantasizing about our own home, ideally with a garden. We were looking forward to the search, but also nervous. So we searched for a good real estate agent, and a good friend recommended Carla van den Brink. Isabeau made the whole process feel comfortable, and we felt confident in finding our first home. A big dream has come true: our own house in Amsterdam with a garden!

It seemed like an impossible quest: a two-bedroom apartment with a small garden in Amsterdam. From the very beginning, we'd always preferred Amsterdam Noord. We'd been searching for our first home for quite some time when a friend connected us with Susan. We hit it off right from the start.

I wouldn't have wanted to search for an apartment in Amsterdam without Isabeau and Susan. As a single person, I had a small budget, but enough to find something in the housing market. Within two months, I was able to purchase a fantastic apartment. I hadn't considered it myself, but luckily Susan advised me to take a look anyway, and I was immediately sold during the viewing. The perfect location in Amsterdam East, a two-bedroom apartment with a balcony and three-meter-high ceilings—I'm still incredibly happy with it. The personal guidance and advice from Carla van der Brink's team throughout this process were indispensable!
