We had an excellent experience with Pointer Advies throughout our entire home-buying journey in the Netherlands. From the very beginning of searching for a house to guiding us through the Dutch mortgage and housing processes, they were incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. As people coming from outside Europe, we were unfamiliar with many of the rules, requirements, and steps involved. Davy and Sanne were absolutely amazing every step of the way — always patient, friendly, professional, and willing to explain everything clearly. The entire process took only 3 and a half weeks, which was far smoother and quicker than we ever expected. We truly felt supported throughout the whole experience. I would highly recommend Pointer Advies to anyone looking for mortgage advice and a smooth, stress-free, and friendly process when buying a home in the Netherlands! Dawn & Neil
If you want the typical "Rotterdam no-bullshit" mentality, look no further. We contacted Pointer during the summer holidays and were impressed by the immediate reply. We met with Bart the moment he returned from the holiday, and the service since then has been a bliss. This is my third time working with a mortgage advisor in the Netherlands, the experience with Bart (along with Sanne) has been a breath of fresh air. From immediate communication during holiday periods to a proactive, decisive approach, they genuinely think with the client, providing support exactly when it’s needed. A fantastic team that I would recommend to anyone navigating the Dutch mortgage market.
We had a great experience working with Stephan. He was always available to patiently clarify our questions, and communication was smooth and quick throughout the process. Even though we were under time constraints, they managed to move our mortgage application forward very quickly; kudos to Sanne for that as well. The pricing is also very competitive for the quality of service they provide. As expats, we highly recommend them.
I was recommended Pointer Advies by a friend who had used their mortgage services, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Stephan and Sanne guided me through the entire process, answering all my questions promptly and thoroughly - and always in English, which was especially important for me as an expat in the Netherlands. They consistently offered helpful tips and clear advice on the next steps, and I always felt I could fully rely on their support.
I highly recommend working with Timon – he is trustworthy and professional, which was especially important for me as a non-Dutch speaker and non-resident buying my first home. He took the time to clearly explain all details and options without pushing any unnecessary insurance. I really appreciated how patient he was and how well he handled my stress during the whole process. He also offers long-term financial advice and ongoing support beyond just the mortgage itself. With an office conveniently located in the center of Rotterdam, I can highly recommend his services to anyone looking for reliable financial guidance. Thank you Timon and Sanne!
