Buying A Property in Holland When looking for a property to buy, many people make the mistake of thinking that the estate agent is working on their behalf. Not only do these innocents expect an agent to actually listen to their requirements;

they also demonstrate a touching belief that he or she will try to get them the best price. Nothing could be further than the truth, of course. 

It is not by accident that estate agents are known within the business as ‘selling agents’.

Fortunately, an antidote is at hand in the form of a ‘buying agent’ who will act entirely in your interests to locate the property of your dreams - and snap it up before anybody else gets their hands on it.

The more common name for a buying agent is a property finder, reflecting the core service on offer, this is the service that Holland Intermediair has to offer.

‘Most of our clients don’t have the time to go house-hunting, it’s a very time-consuming business’.

There’s also the cost. If you’re looking to relocate or buy a second home somewhere remote from your current one, then a weekend away house-hunting can be a pretty expensive business. In a previous era looking for the ideal property consisted of looking in agents high street windows and doggedly following up details sent through the post.

The internet has changed all that, and somebody sitting in an office in Hong Kong now has access to pretty much the same properties in Holland as an agent on the spot. What they can’t do, of course, is visit in person, and it’s hardly surprising that one of the services buying agents offer is to check out a property the buyer has found for themselves, and report back.

Holland Intermediair claims an advantage in hearing about properties before they come on the market, as well as being told about properties that the owner doesn’t want to be advertised.

Holland Intermediair also recommend professionals such as solicitors and surveyors, and even acting as project managers where a buyer plans to undertake significant building work.

This means that a client can really make a property their own by choosing the type of kitchen, bathroom etc. that they want themselves rather than what other people have chosen.
