Reviews van WelBijWim

As first-time home buyers in the Netherlands and expats with no knowledge of the Dutch home-buying process, we were honestly overwhelmed at the beginning. From our very first conversation until the day we received the keys to our new home, Rik guided us through every single step with incredible patience and professionalism. No question was too small or too simple. He always took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we understood the process, even when we asked what we felt were "foolish" questions. His knowledge, patience, and willingness to help gave us a lot of confidence throughout the journey. What we appreciated most was that Rik truly took care of everything. He kept us informed, guided us through all the paperwork and decisions, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We never felt alone or worried because we knew he was looking out for our best interests. For any expat looking to buy a home in the Netherlands, having someone like Rik by your side is invaluable. We are extremely grateful for all his support and would highly recommend him to anyone buying a home, especially if they are new to the country and unfamiliar with the process. Thank U

Erwin is een prettige, warme persoonlijkheid en dat zie je ook terug in hoe hij dealt met de mensen die nodig zijn bij de totstandbrenging van een hypotheek. Helemaal blij mee.

Erg tevreden over Erwin. Het advies was duidelijk, adequaat en snel. Erwin dacht goed met mij mee als ondernemer en heeft uiteindelijk de beste deal voor mij weten te realiseren. Alles werd helder uitgelegd en het contact verliep prettig en professioneel. Zeker een aanrader!

Vriendelijk en altijd bereikbaar, we zijn heel erg blij met de hulp en begeleiding. Erwin heeft ons toch geholpen aan een mooie woning!

Erwin heeft mij nu voor de 2e keer geholpen met de financiële zaken rondom het kopen van een huis. Altijd fijn contact en hij regelt de zaken goed!

Heel fijn en persoonlijk contact. De communicatie is duidelijk en prettig, en er wordt echt met je meegedacht.

I am very happy working with Rik. He started explaining the whole buying process, the mortgage, and all the littlest details. Every questions I had he responded with clear cut answers and all the requirements for mortgage is handled by him. Very professional, I would recommend him to all my friends who are looking to buy

Erwin heeft echt het onderste uit de kan moeten halen om mij te helpen. Maar het is gelukt en ik ben helemaal tevreden met het eindresultaat. Super geholpen en nogmaals bedankt!

Erwin begeleid zijn klanten goed en denkt echt mee!

We are so happy that we worked with Rik. At first, we didn't know much about buying a house in the Netherlands. He made a presentation for us and explained the whole process step by step. It was very easy to understand. When we wanted to make an offer, he helped us understand the real value of the house so we made a smart bid. But the best part was the mortgage approval. We got the good news from the bank in just a few hours! We couldn't believe it was so fast. Also, he didn't just help with the mortgage. He even helped us with our home insurance applications and other processes. Rik is very fast, helpful, and friendly. We really recommend him!

We were introduced to Rik through a referral. In late May 2026, we had an hour-long introductory call covering all the intricacies, options, and information needed to buy a home in the Netherlands. As first-time buyers, this session was extremely helpful—my wife and I could ask questions, clarify our needs, and get guidance beyond standard templates. We stayed in easy touch with Rik over WhatsApp, where he guided us on the right documents to gather while starting our search and bidding process. Rik took charge of the whole process, represented us on our first bid, and helped us secure the apartment we wanted. We especially appreciated his advice to split our mortgage into two components, letting us make payments covering both principal and interest. Using our documents, Rik got our mortgage application approved along with a bank guarantee, and arranged the property inspection. He also had a property evaluation done before finalizing our bid, helping us avoid overbidding while still making a compelling offer the seller couldn't refuse. Our purchase agreement signing and notary appointments went smoothly too. Buying a NL house is daunting, but Rik made it organized, clear, and easy.

Happy with the support from Ruk throughout the process. He is knowledgeable, approachable and helped navigate some unexpected challenges along the way. He stayed involved until everything was successfully completed. Definitely recommended!!

Wij zijn uitstekend geholpen door Erwin! Vanaf het eerste contact tot aan het moment dat we de sleutels kregen, stond hij altijd voor ons klaar en voorzag hij ons van deskundig advies. We konden hem bovendien op ieder moment bereiken met onze vragen. Erwin denkt goed met je mee, is helder en transparant in zijn communicatie en geeft eerlijk en duidelijk advies. Wij hebben het hele proces als zeer prettig ervaren. Nogmaals hartelijk bedankt voor alles, Erwin! Mocht het in de toekomst weer nodig zijn, dan zouden we ons zonder twijfel opnieuw door jou laten helpen.

We had an amazing experience working with Rik from WelBijWim. From our very first call, he explained the entire process so clearly that we immediately felt confident and at ease. Throughout the journey, he stayed in constant touch via a dedicated WhatsApp group, answering every question promptly—even while he was on holiday! His support went far beyond the mortgage itself; he patiently explained every Dutch property and notary document before we signed, and even arranged a detailed call to walk us through the important paperwork. He handled the mortgage application, bank coordination, and property valuation seamlessly, making the whole process stress-free. The highlight was him personally showing up on our key handover day with a huge personalized cookie—a thoughtful gesture we'll never forget. We truly felt supported every step of the way and would wholeheartedly recommend Rik from WelBijWim to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely caring mortgage advisor.

Van begin tot eind zijn wij ontzettend tevreden over de begeleiding van Erwin. Hij combineert vakkennis met persoonlijke aandacht en neemt echt de tijd om alles duidelijk uit te leggen. Erwin denkt vooruit, handelt snel en zet zich volledig in voor zijn klanten. Dankzij hem verliep onze hypotheekaanvraag soepel en met een gerust gevoel. Bedankt voor de fijne samenwerking!

We hebben 2 keer een huis gekocht met behulp van Erwin en 2 keer heeft hij de verwachtingen overtroffen! Hij was snel, attent en zet altijd nét een stapje extra om het beste voor ons eruit te halen. Als anderen op zoek zijn naar een hypotheekadviseur vind ik het altijd belangrijk om hen echt aan te sporen om naar WelBijWim te gaan, omdat ik weet dat ze daar goed geholpen worden. Echt top!

Zeer goed geholpen. Het was een vrij complexe en bijzondere aanvraag en het is allemaal binnen de gestelde termijn gelukt. Ze werken zeer klantgericht, met een open communicatie en eerlijk advies.

Erwin heeft altijd korte lijntjes met je en denkt goed mee. Daarnaast geeft hij heldere uitleg. Wij hadden constant het vertrouwen dat alles wel goed zou komen en dat Erwin het wel zou aangeven als we iets moesten doen/regelen.

Working with Rik was an absolute pleasure. He guided me through every step of the mortgage process with the care of a true friend. He was amazing at breaking down complicated legal jargon and proactively informing me of the next steps, making the whole journey incredibly smooth and straightforward. Thank you for making homebuying such a positive experience!

Buying a house in the Netherlands as an expat was quite overwhelming for me, but having Rik guide us through the process made a huge difference. From the very beginning, he made sure we understood every step before moving forward. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions, and was very thorough and comprehensive in his guidance. I never felt rushed or unsure about what came next. What I appreciated most was that his support went beyond just arranging our mortgage. He guided us throughout the entire home-buying process, helping us make informed decisions at every stage. Having someone who genuinely took the time to explain things and guide us through the process made the whole experience much less stressful. I would happily recommend Rik to anyone looking to buy a home, especially fellow expats. His guidance and support throughout the journey made what initially felt like a daunting process much easier to navigate. Thank you, Rik!
