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.

It was a short but intense search, with our Heather, for a house with a garden in a nice neighborhood, including a dog park just around the corner. And with this "opportunity," visit number four, it was bingo. Garden! Park! Neighborhood! And a tree!
They were guided through every detail regarding the possibilities and permission to thoroughly renovate the house, and she also helped them with all aspects of financing, the right approach to selling the old place, and, last but not least, maintaining peace of mind. And now that the renovation is underway, Charlotte and Ian look back fondly on all that wonderful support, Heather's helping hand from start to finish.

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.

Debbie's trust in our agency stemmed from a previous rental process, so the choice of real estate agent for the upcoming sale of their property in Amstelveen was a no-brainer. She has absolutely no regrets and tells us with visible pleasure how much reassurance it gave her. Our Anniek provided her with continuous insight into agreements and the current state of affairs, the styling tips were fantastic, and their proactive approach and extensive expertise also yielded a much higher return than anticipated.
