Thank you expat properties for finding me a place to stay and making the move process as smooth as possible!

Bridgette and Julia have been lifesavers with our move to the Netherlands and sourcing a rental property. They are always willing to
assist wherever possible with advice and information and always going out of their way to help. A great real estate agency and can recommend them highly for both rentals and for the buying of real estate. 
Jacques du Preez
March 18, 2018 - i am pleased to recommend J&B for any real estate undertaking in The Nederlands. Bridgette and her team are kind, patient, flexible and available at all times. They are also very knowledgeable about construction materials, decoration and maintenance overall, so you can quickly get a very accurate picture of the situation of the house you're interested in. And above all, they helped us get our house within a few weeks!
Martín Rua
June 19, 2019 - Picking J&B Makelaars as my estate agent is one of the best decisions I’ve made since arriving in the Netherlands as a highly skilled migrant! They helped me find a home in a relatively short period of time within a very competitive housing market! I also used their expat services which drastically simplified my life! Their service covered a wide range from for example registering at the gemeente to shopping and sightseeing tips. It took a huge amount of pressure off of me allowing me to focus on settling into my work and life in the Netherlands. Overall exceptional service!
