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 - We were assigned an agent dedicated to us. This was Lerize; what a pleasure dealing with her. She went to various properties, Whatsapp video called us so we could see the places on offer. After the 4th and 5th visit, we received two positive offers. Lerize kept us in the loop 100% of the time. She managed the handover etc and also sorted the gas/electricity for us. Would highly recommend Bridgette and Team

October 24, 2019 - Bridgette from J&B Makelaars knows the Dutch property market really well. If you want peace of mind, and exceptional service, then this is the place for you. She can also assist with other services like helping you connect your gas, electricity and water. Bridgette also helps you to negotiate on the lease
and on fixtures and fittings to stay in the property. Bridgette makes finding a property less stressful in the Dutch market - a must have in my honest opinion.
