One broker, one client
- In the Netherlands, real estate brokers are legally allowed to represent only one party in a transaction—either the seller or the buyer. So, if you visit a property and speak to the broker on-site, it’s important to know: they are working for the seller, not for you.
- That’s why we strongly recommend hiring your own broker to represent your interests—someone who’s on your side every step of the way.
