I really appreciate the help from Sam - I think for expat living in the Netherlands, to have a purchase realtor is to save huge lot of time, energy and potential pitfalls which foreigners might not be aware of in this country. And Sam is certainly someone who helps out in this aspect. I know that many people hold negative view on realtors, but if one can save you from aimless looking, viewing and bidding plus the giant anxiety - why not? I'd certainly recommend anyone looking for buying homes reach out to Sam and give it a go - you can already obtain quite a lot of insights from your orientation with them.
