We discuss what you are looking for, your budget and what matters to you. That way we know what to watch for as soon as a home becomes interesting.
BUYING WITH ROOOM
Buying a home
with rooom.
From the moment a home becomes serious, we look at it with you.
A viewing often lasts only half an hour. After that you may have to decide within a day on a home worth hundreds of thousands. While more is at play than what you see during that viewing.
What is the home worth? Are there particulars in the documents? Which conditions do you include in your offer? And how much room is there to negotiate?
This is how we buy a home together.
You do not have to hand everything over from the first search. We join where you need us and stay involved until completion.

Search
You can search yourself or have us search actively. When we search with you, we also look through our agent network at homes that are not on Funda yet.
03
Viewing
You usually go and look first. If you want us to come along, that is possible within our area. Once a home becomes serious, we start working on it in detail.
04
Offer
We research the home, review the documents and comparable sales, and decide together what a realistic price is. Then we discuss the amount, the conditions and the bidding strategy, and we speak with the selling agent.
05
Valuation
If your offer is accepted and a valuation is needed for the mortgage, we help organise it and keep an eye on the deadline.
06
Survey
If a building survey is wise, we help arrange it and talk through what the outcome means for your purchase.
07
Notary
We check the agreements, watch the key deadlines and stay involved until completion and the keys.
What is a good offer?
The asking price is the starting point of the sale. For our advice we look further.
€ 415,000
Cautious€ 425,000
Our advice€ 435,000
Our limitWe compare the home with recent sales and look at location, size, condition and the current market. That is how we first decide what we consider a realistic value.
Then we look at the sale situation, your financial options, the conditions and above all how much the home is worth to you. That leads to the bid advice.
It is not only about the amount. A financing condition, building survey, completion date and other terms can also make a difference.
You decide what you want to offer. We make sure you know what that decision is based on.
More about bid advice →Your smarter buying agent.
When you buy a home you want to know where you stand. That is why we look beyond the asking price and the Funda listing. Recent sales, the documents and particulars of the home all go into our advice.
We call the selling agent, join the viewing and go through the home carefully. That gives us a complete picture of the home, the interest and the sale situation.
Then we talk through what stands out, what we think of the home and what you should take into account. Sometimes it is clear, sometimes you just want to talk it through.

Our team.
During your purchase you have one fixed contact. Someone who knows which home you mean, what we have already discussed and what still needs to happen.
You can call, email or WhatsApp when you want to talk it through. Especially around a viewing, offer or deadline it helps to be able to switch quickly.

After the verbal agreement there is still quite a bit to do before you become the owner.
We check what was agreed and the purchase agreement before you sign. We watch the key deadlines and help with the valuation, any building survey and everything needed for the mortgage.
We also make sure the right information reaches the notary in time. We stay involved until you have the keys.
