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.

"We're almost there," thought Elsemieke and Ruben when they contacted our agency after they'd already found a house. On the advice of family members, they decided to enlist our help as their real estate agent, and that proved invaluable when crucial questions arose during the final stages. Fortunately, everything worked out well, and they're clearly enjoying their new home. "Isabeau guided us through everything so effectively. She was sharp, engaged, well-informed, and very accessible. That's truly special and very reassuring."

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.

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.
