Why expats choose a MVA Certified Expat Broker

Your trusted guide to finding a home in the Greater Amsterdam area

Buying or renting a home in a new country can be overwhelming. The Dutch housing market is fast-paced, competitive, and — at first glance — a little confusing. But don’t worry: with the right support, it doesn’t have to be.

 

Meet your MVA Certified Expat Broker

MVA Certified Expat Brokers are here to guide you through the process of buying or renting a home in Amsterdam and the surrounding areas. They understand the challenges that come with moving to a new country and are specially trained to assist internationals.

 

Your broker will:

 

  • Represent you in the buying or rental process
  • Help you understand the Dutch housing market
  • Advise you on legal and technical matters
  • Handle negotiations on your behalf
  • Make sure you pay a fair price—and not a cent too much

 

Why choose an MVA broker?

All MVA brokers are certified professionals who meet strict quality standards. They offer:

 

  • Local market expertise – They know the Amsterdam region inside and out
  • Clear communication – Everything is explained, step by step
  • Transparent service – No surprises, just honest advice
  • NVM membership – All MVA brokers follow the code of conduct of the Dutch Association of Real Estate Agents (NVM)

 

Need a specialist?

MVA has certified experts for every kind of real estate need:

 

  • MVA Certified Expat Broker – Experts specialized in expats looking for a home

  • MVA Erfpacht Deskundige – Experts about leasehold (erfpacht) properties

 

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.

 

Why choose an MVA Certified Expat Broker?
