Our Team
We are VK Makelaars
At VK Makelaars we like to work as personally as possible. We have a lot of contact with our customers through Whatsapp, which ensures fast and clear communication. A big advantage of this is also that we are not only available from Monday to Friday, from 9 to 5. No! Customers can send us messages 24/7 and we always respond quickly.
For us, each process is very familiar. On a daily basis we conduct negotiations, are in contact with notaries, brokers and appraisers. We know exactly what’s coming your way and will help you every step of the way buying, selling, renting or leasing!
We are not a price fighter, but we do believe in a fair rate. If you want to know more about that, just contact us. Call, email, app or better yet, stop by our office. Free parking and free coffee!

Eva Arkenaar
Administrative jack-of-all-trades
In memoriam.
This is what we are good at!
We achieve the best sales & rental prices
We work with a limited number of houses at a time. This allows us to put a higher than average number of hours into each home or search. When selling a house of 1 of our clients, we take all the time for the important things, like the viewings. ‘Haste is rarely good’ and we want every interested party to have ample time to see the property, ask questions and prepare their bids. We see that this leads to higher sales revenues.
Personalized counseling
You are in the process of making the most important purchase or sale of your life. Therefore, you don’t want to be a number in a card box, but rather be helped immediately when you call and get the support you need. Our contact with customers is very close. We know all of our customers personally, and what’s more, we’re busy and available for you every day and evening. We are via phone, Whatsapp and email. Or of course at our office or together in the house.
Very high customer satisfaction
Fair prices, best value
We are not a price fighter. We don’t want to be either, but we do deliver quality and take the time to maximize our efforts in each case. However, we do add the most value for you. Whether it’s the sale/lease result or the outcome of a smart purchase negotiation.
No startup costs
We like transparency and 1 clear rate. When selling your home, our start-up costs are included in the brokerage fee. It’s easy and convenient. You only pay us at the notary from the sale proceeds, so you also have no ‘out of pocket costs’ with us when selling.
Always available
During office hours, there is always a staff member to answer the phone and help you immediately. So also the viewers who call to request a viewing of your house. Outside of opening hours, you may always call, app or email us. If one of us is on vacation, there is a replacement. If we do not answer, we will call you back.
Knowledge, skills and network
We know the region and know what to look for. We know the nice and the not so nice places in the neighborhood, we know the characteristics of the neighborhood and building features to be alert to. During purchase viewings we can always make a good and realistic estimate of the (overdue) maintenance costs and (desired) renovation costs. In addition, we have a large network and have been doing business with many other brokers for a long time, all for the best deal for our client!
Certified and member of the trade association VBO
We are certified and also affiliated with the trade association for brokers and appraisers; VBO. All our standard working documents are constantly up to date and checked by the industry association. We have the support of our own legal department and we are covered by a dispute and complaints committee. Finally, it goes without saying that we are properly insured through our professional liability insurance.
Purchase assistance throughout the Netherlands
Determined, committed and always straight to the point
You want to successfully sell, rent or buy a new home. We are going to help you with this. In the best possible way and with the aim of being able to congratulate you as an extremely satisfied customer later on with the sale, purchase or rental of your home.
Nothing stands in our way and no challenge is too big!
