We were relocating as a family to the Netherlands in December 2022 and were to rent an apartment close to my new job in Haarlem. My company recommended to contact VK Makelaars agency, as they've helped a few of my colleagues in the past. It proved to be the best choice because within 2 months, we finally found an apartment that suits us as a family but is also well connected to Haarlem and is within our budget. During the search, we worked closely with Kim van Straten, and she would act swifly on all the apartment ads that we would share. Unfortunately, due to the high demand, a lot of the landlords don't respond but for the ones who did, she made sure to pass our information correctly, organise viewing, send us photos and videos and all information we need in order to make a decision. She was there for all our questions, very patient and available even in the evenings and over the holidays! There were moments when we thought we won't find anything, but she assured us that all will be good and eventually it did! :) We plan to work with Kim and VK Makelaars agency again in the future, if we decide to buy or rent real estate here and would highly recommend working with them.
