We were looking in Houten-Culemborg area. Obviously, not being an expat flooded region like some others, there was an absence of real estate agents willing to help expats. Some even refusing to talk English or try to communicate, even my broken Dutch not being enough.
In this situation, Sam was a real gem. She helped us through all steps, from the beginning when we were completely lost and needed help the same day I contacted her - and to the end, with a successful purchase of our dream house.
She gave us insights into the local housing market and general tips, and was available almost instantly for every question.
We did view about 5 houses in different areas and thanks to Sam always had a good understanding what we are dealing with, in terms of value/price or other specifics.
The price of the service is not cheap, but after taking it, it felt like getting relieved from insane pressure. Giving your problems to somebody else to solve sometimes worth any price.
