Selling your house
Living in a different country than you grew up in and then selling your first home is not something you do every day. If you have purchased before, then buying your home back then must have been quite a process. This is exactly why you want to rely on someone with experience. Someone who looks after your/your interests and puts his/her network and expertise to work for you. If you are going to sell your home, LIVIN Makelaars is the perfect partner.
LIVIN Makelaars is fully certified by the Vereniging Bemiddeling Onroerend Goed (VBO). We know the market accurately and have built a solid foundation. We ensure that the sales process remains calm.

During the intake interview we tell you exactly what you can do to make it easier to sell your house and what we will and can do for you during this process.

Purchase Process
How do we find a home for you?
All LIVIN Makelaars buyers are emailed properties based on your requirements. Of course you search yourself as well, because we discuss a certain area, but maybe your ideal home is just outside the area. In the email you'll find all the information you need - updated in real time - often before new homes are even listed on commercial platforms like Funda. And as your buying agent, we can close the best possible deal on your behalf.
Free valuation and consultation
If you are planning to sell your home, then of course you want to know what the market value of the property is. In most cases a valuation is sufficient for this. We can provide this. We are happy to provide a reliable valuation of your current home. Contact us today for a no-obligation consultation.
NWWI validated valuation
Both when buying and selling your home, in most cases you need a validated valuation report. In this we can also help you. You get a validated valuation report via the NWWI. Please contact our or your financial advisor to find out what kind of valuation report the lender requires.
Competitive rates
We charge a flat rate for appraisals, so you know exactly where you stand from the start. Want to know what we charge? Get in touch with us.
Valuation process
Appraisal request
After you contact us, we schedule an appraisal so we can inspect the house. The appraiser will arrange for the appraisal to be officially registered with the NWWI and you will receive an order confirmation by email. After that, we can get to work!
- Scheduling the viewing
- Report valuation to NWWI
- Order confirmation
After the valuation report has been validated by the NWWI, you will be sent the valuation report and you can send it to your financial advisor.
Cup of coffee or tea together?
Welcome to Our Renting Process:
At LIVIN Makelaars, we conduct a thorough analysis of the financial landscape for all potential tenants, advising and making sure they meet all requirements. In the Netherlands, a highly regulated and dynamic market, navigating rental regulations can be complex, which is why the expertise of professional agents is invaluable.
Therefore we compile a folder that captures both your financial and personal information and we use it to represent you in the market. It includes passport photos, if already available BSN (citizen service number), financial statements, payment slips, and an introduction letter to the landlord telling more about your professional life and your lifestyle. From our experience, this folder smooths the process and it is key to quickly securing your desired property as fast as we can.
Many Expats have never written an introduction letter to the landlord before. We understand that and we will also guide you on how to write this simple yet essential document that provides insight into your lifestyle, work, and expectations for moving into a new home.
Our services follow the steps below:
- Understanding Your Needs: We prioritize understanding your unique requirements and preferences.
- Creation of Your Folder: We compile comprehensive information to strengthen your rental application.
- Research & Advising: We conduct together thorough research and provide expert advice.
- Searching & Booking Viewings: We manage together the search process and coordinate property viewings.
- Negotiation of Terms: We negotiate rental terms on your behalf, ensuring fairness and compliance with local regulations.
- Signing Contract & Handover Keys: We guide you through the contract signing process and facilitate the handover of keys.
- Follow-Up: We provide ongoing support and assistance, ensuring a seamless transition into your new home.
Throughout the process, we accompany you to viewings, and in instances where you cannot attend in person, we offer virtual viewing options via video call.
We also offer you the possibility of working together with our digital office that enables you to do the entire process from your home. At LIVIN Makelaars we are committed to simplifying the rental journey and helping you find your ideal home with confidence.
