Selling your home in The Hague
Selling your home is a major decision. There is a lot involved, and it is one that requires careful consideration. That is why everything starts with an estate agent you can trust.
What you get from us is an honest assessment. We provide a price that we can substantiate with sales data from your own neighborhood, even if it turns out to be lower than you initially hoped. That is more valuable to you than a high figure that later proves to be inaccurate.
How we work
Almost any real estate agent can sell a house. The difference between a smooth sale and a difficult one lies in the weeks leading up to it, and in the moments when a sale doesn't go as planned. Our entire approach is designed around this.
Your property only goes live once everything is ready: NEN 2580 measurement, photography, video tour, floor plans, and the sales file. This typically takes one to three weeks.
You will receive a bespoke sales advisory report, including reference transactions, the justification for the asking price, and our sales strategy. This is prepared after an on-site inspection, not generated by a calculation model.
Most sales go smoothly. If things do get stuck—due to financing, a structural survey, or a legal hurdle—we will investigate and handle it for you.
Our sales process
Every sales process begins with a conversation at your kitchen table. We take a look at your property, discuss the current market situation, and determine the strategy together.
1. Valuation
We will visit your home to measure the key rooms and assess its condition and layout. The visit takes 30 to 40 minutes and is free of charge. Afterwards, you will receive a well-founded valuation, including comparable sales in the area.
2. Service agreement
Once signed, we will create your digital sales file and verify all documents, including the title deed, the deed of division and homeowners' association (VvE) documents for apartments, and the energy performance certificate. If anything is missing, we will request it for you or let you know where you can obtain it.
3. Photography & presentation
Our photographer will arrive at the time when the light in your home is at its best. In addition to photography, we provide a 4K video tour, 2D floor plans, and aerial shots where they add value.
4. Marketing and publication
Your property will be listed on Funda and the international channels used by expats searching in The Hague, as well as being shared with the buyers in our own database. For high-end properties, we also deploy social media campaigns and targeted advertising.
5. Viewings
We conduct every viewing personally, including in the evenings and on weekends. You will hear what was said the very same day, even if the feedback is disappointing. Every viewing provides insight into who your potential buyer is, and we use that information as soon as the bids come in.
6. Negotiations
If we receive multiple offers, we will compare them based on price, terms, financing, and your preferred closing date. The highest bid is not always the best one. We will explain why, and the final decision is yours.
7. Transfer
We will draft the purchase agreement, monitor the deadlines for any contingencies, and ensure all documents are in order with the notary before you sign. We will, of course, be present at the key handover.
Selling agent in The Hague
HAYMAN Real Estate is based in The Hague and operates exclusively within the city limits. This allows us to know the streets inside out, understand how the neighborhoods relate to one another, and immediately identify who is currently buying. For us, it is about more than just the transaction. Behind every sale, there is almost always something more: a move, an inheritance, or a new job in another country.
We are available whenever you need us and can conduct viewings in the evenings and on weekends if required. Our clientele is international. We therefore work in both Dutch and English and have direct lines to embassies, international organizations, and multinationals in the region.
What customers say about us
Broad reach, targeted approach
Your property will appear on Funda and all other major housing platforms, complete with professional photography, a video tour, floor plans, and a full description. That is the baseline, and every good estate agent provides that.
The difference lies in what happens beyond that. Before we go live, we determine who the most likely buyer for your home is. A family home in Benoordenhout attracts a different audience than a coastal apartment, and that determines where we showcase your property. We list your home on the international channels where expats in The Hague are searching, in both Dutch and English.
For properties in the higher segment, we deploy additional paid visibility, targeted specifically at the buyer profile that matches your home. The first two weeks after publication generate the most serious viewings. That is why our campaign runs at full strength from day one, rather than adding channels gradually.

Selling FAQ
Clear answers to common questions about the sales process.
What are the costs of a selling agent in The Hague?
We charge a fixed commission percentage including VAT, which is only payable upon a successful sale. If your property does not sell, you owe us nothing, and we do not charge any cancellation or withdrawal fees. In addition, you pay a one-off startup fee for the preparatory work: the NEN 2580 measurement, photography, video tour, and the sales strategy report. You will receive a detailed quote including VAT specifying the costs for your specific situation. Please feel free to call us at 070-326 50 17 or send us a message.
How do you determine the asking price for my home?
We analyze recently sold homes in your neighborhood, assess the condition of your property, and compare this against current market demand. During our home visit, we will discuss various scenarios and work together to determine a well-founded asking price.
How long does it take on average to sell my home?
In 2025, 87% of the homes we sold were under binding agreement within three weeks. How long it takes in your case depends on the property, the neighborhood, and the timing. We respond to every inquiry within 24 hours and typically schedule a valuation within a few business days, including evenings and weekends.
How do I know I'm working with a reliable real estate agent?
Always ask three things: what is put in writing before you sign, what you pay if the property doesn't sell, and whether you can cancel at any time. With us, you receive a detailed quote including VAT upfront, you pay no commission if the property doesn't sell, and we have no cancellation or withdrawal fees. Our clients rate us 4.7 out of 5 based on 28 Google reviews.
Do you also handle the legal process?
Yes. We will draft the purchase agreement and review it thoroughly, guide you through the appointment at the notary, and ensure everything is legally sound before you sign. You will never have to face this alone.
How quickly can you start the sales process?
Once the agreement is signed, the preparation phase typically takes one to two weeks. This includes the certified NEN 2580 measurement, professional photography, a 4K video tour, floor plans, drone footage, and the sales strategy report, which you will receive before the listing goes live. After that, your property will be published online. You are always welcome to request a no-obligation property valuation, even if you are planning to sell at a later date.
