Buying Agent The Hague
Whether you have already set your sights on a property or are just starting your search, we will guide you from the initial hunt to the final handover. You will have one dedicated specialist entirely on your side, and you only pay upon a successful purchase. Thanks to our network and our expertise in the The Hague market, we can access properties that aren't even on Funda yet. That gives you a real head start.
What does a buying agent do?
A buying agent works exclusively for the buyer. The agent selling the property works for the seller and generally has an interest in you paying more. We sit on the other side of the table.
In practice, this means we critically assess the property—including the points the selling party would rather not mention—determine the home's true value based on recent local sales, and handle all price and condition negotiations on your behalf.
We negotiate strong contingency clauses to protect you during the purchase and monitor all associated deadlines. And if making an offer on a specific property isn't wise, we will tell you so and explain why.
Our purchase process
From our first meeting to handing over the keys: here is how we work.
1. Acquaintance
During a personal consultation, we will discuss your requirements, budget, and situation. We listen to what you are looking for and ask the right questions, ensuring your search gets off to a focused start.
2. Search
Using your profile as a guide, we monitor the market daily, reach out to our network for off-market opportunities, and select properties that truly align with your search criteria.
3. Viewings
Our specialist accompanies you to every viewing, critically assessing the condition, location, and asking price. We point out both opportunities and potential pitfalls, ensuring you can make a well-informed decision.
4. Negotiations
Found the right home? We’ll take over the negotiations. Using a well-considered strategy, we work to secure the best price and terms, always with your best interests in mind.
5. Contract guidance
We manage the entire contract phase, from the purchase agreement to the financing check. All legal and administrative matters are in expert hands, allowing you to focus on what comes next.
6. Final Inspection & transfer
During the final inspection, we verify that everything is correct and delivered as agreed. Afterward, we accompany you to the notary until the keys are in your hands.

Frequently asked questions about purchasing guidance
Clear answers to common questions about the purchase process.
What are your fees as a buying agent in The Hague?
Purchase guidance starts at € 4,500 including VAT. The exact fee depends on your search criteria: how broad your search is, how many viewings are required, and the level of support you need. You only pay upon a successful purchase. If you do not find a property through us, you pay nothing.
Can you start on short notice?
Yes. We respond within 24 hours and typically schedule an introductory meeting within a week. If you have already found a property you would like to make a quick offer on, please call us directly at 070 - 326 50 17 so we can review it with you the same day. For a full property search, we generally find a suitable home within one to three months. Thanks to our proactive approach and access to off-market listings, this is often even faster.
Do you also provide assistance during viewings?
Yes. Our specialist accompanies you to every viewing to assess the technical condition, the asking price, and the future value. This allows you to make well-informed decisions and avoid unnecessary risks.
What happens after I find my dream home?
We will then take over the negotiations. We guide you from the initial offer to the purchase agreement, and from the financing check to the final inspection and transfer at the notary.
Do you also provide assistance with financing the property?
We work with trusted mortgage advisors and are happy to refer you to the right specialist. Throughout the purchasing process, we always take your financial situation into account.
How do I know I'm working with a reliable buying agent?
Always ask three things: whose interests the real estate agent represents, what is put in writing before you sign, and what you pay if the deal falls through. With us: we work exclusively for you and never for the seller, you receive a detailed quote including VAT upfront, and you only pay upon a successful purchase. If you don't find a home through us, it costs you nothing. Our clients rate us 4.7 out of 5 based on 28 Google reviews.
How does working with a buying agent in The Hague work?
Our collaboration begins with a no-obligation introductory meeting to discuss your preferences, budget, and requirements. From there, we actively search for properties via Funda, our professional network, and off-market opportunities. We attend every viewing with you. Once you have found the right home, we take over the negotiations and guide you through the entire process right up to the handover of the keys.
