What we do

Four ways we help you land in the Netherlands.

01

Buying

Your aankoopmakelaar: we find the right home — including off-market — assess it properly, and bid on your behalf to win it at the right price.

02

Legal & contracts

A rare edge — we have a genuine legal background. We read your purchase agreement, flag the risks, and make sure what you sign protects you.

03

Tenancy agreement review

We review the draft tenancy agreement and the available property documents, focusing on legal and financial risks, rent and indexation provisions, the security deposit, service charges and other additional costs, the duration of the tenancy, termination clauses, the parties’ obligations and any special conditions.

Before you sign, we explain the terms of the agreement, identify potentially unfavourable or unclear provisions and check whether the arrangements made with the landlord have been recorded correctly and adequately protect the tenant’s interests.

Selling — for clients

When our clients decide to sell, we represent them end to end, with honest advice in English, Russian and Dutch.

Why us

Why internationals choose a small, Russian-speaking agency over a portal.

We speak your language — really

English, Russian and Dutch, from the first message to the keys. Nothing lost in translation, nothing signed you don’t understand.

A genuine legal background

You’re advised by people who understand Dutch property law — not just how to close a deal, but how to protect you within it.

We protect you from costly mistakes

Every property and owner is checked against the Kadaster, and every contract read closely, before you commit a single euro.

A family firm, not a portal

One relationship with two experienced people, and fast replies on Telegram — not a call-centre or a faceless website.
