Not your average broker
Mr. Broker was founded by Amir van Bommel to cut through the noise. No suits. No shiny talk. Just a broker who fights hard, cares harder, and actually answers his phone.
And yes, we’re fully certified: We’re officially NVM Real Estate Agents and MVA Certified Expat Brokers. Meaning real training, real data and real expertise. Because with papers is better than without. Especially when it comes to one of the biggest decisions of your life. We’re not here to impress you with suits. We’re here to fight for you, guide you, and celebrate when you get the keys.
Finding the right home
Not just any home. The one that fits your budget, your vibe, and your life. We search, screen, and scout so you don't waste time on places that look great in photos but terrible in real life.
Strategy & bidding
We don't just throw numbers around. We analyze, strategize, and negotiate like it's our own money on the line. Because in the Dutch market, you need more than luck; you need a plan.
Viewings & inspections
We go with you. We ask the questions you didn't think of. We spot the red flags before you fall in love with a place that's going to cost you double in repairs.
Selling, if it’s part of the move
Already own a place? Sometimes buying means selling too. We help you price it right, plan the timing, and avoid rushed decisions; so one deal doesn’t mess up the other.
The whole process
From the first search to the final handshake, we're there. Paperwork, mortgage connections, legal checks… all the boring stuff that actually matters. You focus on packing. We'll handle the rest.
Fearlessly Asked Questions
We’ll answer the things other brokers avoid. No sugarcoating, no sales talk.
Do I really need a broker, or can I just try this myself and hope for the best?
You can do it alone. Just like you can cut your own hair or fix your own brakes. Will it end well? Maybe. Will it be stressful, confusing and probably expensive? Definitely. A good broker pays for themselves in strategy, negotiation and mistakes you don’t make.
How much overbidding is actually normal and does anyone ever pay the asking price?
Short answer: yes, people overbid. A lot.
Long answer: it depends wildly on the
property and timing.
Sometimes you overbid, sometimes you don’t. Sometimes we get homes under asking price because we know when to push and when to wait. There’s no magic number, there’s strategy.
Are you going to pressure me into buying something I’m not sure about?
Nope. If you’re not excited, neither are we. We’d rather lose a deal than push you into the wrong home. (and yes, we’ve actually told clients not to buy places, more than once)
