People On The Move Expat Brokers

Excellent service!
Irene has been professional, fully up to speed with everything, fast and reliable throughout the process.
Got the house and all the arrangements sorted very quickly.
Highly recommend

Great service. Irene was very helpful and friendly. Always nice to deal with well informed and friendly people when moving to a new country. Will definitely recommend People on the Move for your housing needs.

As a first time home owner, and an expat here in NL , I could not ask for any better service to find my new home. Irene and the entire People On the Move team, was amazing! Efficient, fast, working during weekends - if you also have a busy schedule- to ensure that their client is confident of their decision. Totally , recommend !

We had a great experience with the company. Irene was super helpful throughout the process of getting someone to rent our place. She's very knowledgable and kind person - Much better than other makelaars we had used in the past, definitely would work with her again.
Thanks, Irene!

Wow! People On The Move have been amazing. They have excellent market knowledge and such a helpful team of people that guided us through the whole homebuying process.
Imagine being new to a country and making one of the most important decisions of your lives – where to live and raise your family. Enter Irene, our fantastic Makalaar, who first got to know us; where we work, how we preferred to commute, what we like to do when we are not working, what sports we were interested in, whether we like gardens, would we be interested in extending and renovating, what was our appetite for history vs. modern aspects, etc. etc.…
Next Irene narrowed down the specific neighbourhoods, within and around cities across the Netherlands, that matched our needs. Irene captured the important details about the history, culture(s), recreational opportunities, education, transport considerations of different areas, and other information that many other makalaars do not even think about - Such intricacies that would make it possible for us to find real comfort and contentment. Then came the fierce competition of the Dutch housing market. We bought our home in the peak of the busy past few years when properties were sold within days of coming onto market. With Irene’s contacts, we enjoyed great viewings and her speed meant that we were usually the first to view a property. Irene’s advice was invaluable from negotiating bids and contractual conditions, to identifying houses that required extensive repairs. Beyond the purchase, Irene and Andries also gave us great insight into Dutch living, hiring contractors, social opportunities, and neighbourly etiquette. We received fantastic support through the whole process and we were well informed at every level. Fast forward to today and we are increasingly happy in our home, and our decision to work with People On The Move. Thank you very much.

We had a wonderful experience with People On The Move. They were super professional, friendly and always available. They supported us from the start until the end, providing assistance and advice at every step of the process. Achieving our goal would not have been possible without their help. We can warmly recommend their services to all non-Dutch people coming to the Netherlands.

Irene and the team of People On The Move definitely go the extra mile. I am based in South Africa and was desperately trying to find accommodation for my son who was returning to university in Amsterdam. After looking and applying for months, I fortunately came into contact with Irene. Within a week we had an apartment. I am extremely thankful to Irene for her professionalism, compassion and friendly service. I can honestly highly recommend their services.

When I started looking in spring 2022, the rental market was very competitive and it almost felt impossible to find one especially with a dog. Irene Timmerman from People on the Move was wonderful. She is professional, knowledgeable and very responsive. I appreciated her positivity and reassurance when I had moments where I felt so discouraged in this crazy market. I finally found an amazing apartment and I would not been able to do so without her help! I highly recommend using People on the Move to find your dream home.

Very helpful, friendly, professional. Irene Timmerman happily helped me even with questions not related to accommodation. And they work really fast. People On The Move managed to do what seemed impossible - found and fully arranged (including delivery of the keys) a new home for our family in three weeks. I am very happy with their services and highly recommend to anyone, especially if you are moving in from abroad.

Had an amazing experience with Irene when moving from another country to NL. She prepared an entire list and set up all the viewings, and has been with us the entire time. Provided me with a lot of info and useful contacts, as well as clarifications for legal stuff I did not understand at the time. I actually felt that my interests were protected, as Irene was always asking potential landlords for all of the things we could forget to ask about. Overall very pleasant and professional experience.

Finding an apartment in Amsterdam is not an easy task. Irene and her team did an excellent job with this and after 2 weeks, the apartment was approved. I highly recommend them 100%

We loved working with Irene! With us being expats living in Amsterdam, we did not have much knowledge of how the Dutch market or system worked. Irene really made the experience of buying an apartment here super smooth and even enjoyable:) She really went the extra mile to understand exactly what we wanted, and was always available to discuss pros and cons and provide local knowledge before and after viewings. The market in Amsterdam is quite aggressive and you definitely need someone like Irene who knows the market, the local nuances in the city, and who tirelessly looks for the perfect options according to your wishes. Moreover, she was extremely thorough with all the paperwork (which was always in Dutch), and really took the time to go through everything with us in detail. We could not be happier with the apartment we got - huge thanks to Irene and team for all your help and support!

I was looking for a rental home in the Netherlands. And Irene from People On The Move was very helpful. They are well organised, well planned and thought of the people and family even before you think what you need. The process of viewing, renting and check-in was very smooth. Shout out to Andries on making sure the smoothness in the process carried on from Irene. Thank you team for finding a right home for me and my family. Cheers!

Absolutely wonderful experience!! We found our dream home 3 days before our long international trip, but Irene took care of everything while we were abroad. These include finding reliable and affordable notary, translation, inspection services and MOR. Buying home is stressful, and buying home with a foreign language is extremely stressful!! Irene was there for us every step of the way and always have our best interest in heart. When people failed to deliver what they had promised, Irene defended our right and hold them accountable! We truly enjoy working with People on The Move, and we have being recommending this company to our expat friends!

I highly recommend People on the Move, Irene has been super helpful throughout the process in accommodating our requests. We came to NL in November with no plans for a home and in just over a week Irene helped us rent a beautiful apartment. Their team is always available, kind and helpful.

Excellent professionals! I've worked with both Irene and Andries to rent my first apartment in Amsterdam. They took the time to understand all the needs of my family and my situation. They handled all the rent details for me in the most kind an efficient way. I highly recommend them!

We had a great experience working with Andries and Irene on our move abroad. They were diligent in helping us ‘see’ the unit via WhatsApp and responsive by email/text and phone. We had unique timing issues with our move and they were open to working through that with us and the unit owners. Thank you!

Irene Timmerman from People on the Move found us our dream home!
We had been in contact prior to our arriving in the Netherlands and by the evening of our second day here (third viewing) we had already received acceptance of our application and we were able to move in just a week later! Throughout our engagement Irene was always friendly, approachable and eager to assist us however she could (and at any time) and we are so grateful to her and the team for finding us the perfect home to start our new adventure in Haarlem, Netherlands.
As a special mention, Irene was able to expedite all of this just prior to the quarantine (we moved in on Thursday and locked down on Sunday) and as such are just so grateful and truly appreciative of all her (and the team's) efforts!
Thank you so much again!

We've had a great experience working with Andries and Irene. They accommodated us with virtual viewings, communicated in English (since we didn't speak Dutch yet) and even provided translated copies of the contract.

I can highly recommend using their services.

Absolute great service, quick in their payments, very good contracts which are legally checked multiple times. We already rented out 3 houses and every time Andries and Irene were very helpful fit us as well as our renters. They are absolutely reliable and because of them we have absolutely nice contact with many people from all over the world!!
