Walter Living Reviews 542

Emmely assisted me with purchasing a home. The process was smooth and she was very detailed and attentive. I would totally recommend Walter Living as your buying agent if you are an expat looking for a home!

Excellent experience, very professional, made the whole process extremely simple, which was especially useful for a first-time buyer.

Reasonable price, with a clear, transparent flat fee. Would use again.

Quick clear explanation from Lisa van Meurs, thorough research and expert advice which led to obtaining the property.

I made several calculations and a bid with Walter Living. Their service is fast, kind and helpful, while their predictions are shockingly close to the actual values the houses got sold for! In the end a calculation with Walter got me a winning bid!

Thanks for the help Paco!

First and one shot, got the deal without acting crazy with the moneys. Walter's data speaks for itself, Martine was the house doctor in the white coat and Emmely finished it off with a spark in the negotiations. Can't be more positive. Super happy with Walter's ladies.

Booked a consult with Walter Living at the last moment, to go over data before confirming our offer. In 40 minutes, one of their realtors (Lisa van Meurs) took us through comparative houses/sales, with thoughtful explanation every step of the way. In line with her conclusions, we lowered our offer by € 15,000 and still had the winning bid. So safe to say, we're very pleased we booked this consultation. It gave us the confidence that our offer was backed by data and with great results. Thanks Lisa and thanks Walter Living!

Beautiful product and a great way to get good data on the housing market. We used it to get market price validation when buying our new house and used it a lot.

The feeling that the offers we would make would be fair while in the house-hunting process was great thanks to the way that do the valuations.

Emmely helped us out and she was great in many ways. I sort of bombarded her with lots of houses every day and she was very quick with the valuations of the apartments. She also definitely felt very reliable and professional during the offers, the conversations with the sellers, and the process after the offer was accepted.

Super professional and friendly! They answered all our questions promptly and clearly, no matter the time. They provided us with tons of useful information that made buying our first home much easier, and offered great support both during and after the process.

Gave us all the tools we needed to find our dream house :)

Great service. They made the stressful process of buying a property in Amsterdam very easy and very insightful.

This was the second time we went with Walter Living and the experience was very smooth. Everything was done on time and we could contact our agent Hester for all questions. Highly recommend if you are new to buying a house.

If you're looking for an experience that combines deep market knowledge, clear communication, and unwavering support throughout the home-buying journey in Amsterdam or the Netherlands, I cannot recommend Walter Living enough.

The entire experience, from start to finish, was nothing short of exceptional. The level of support, expertise, and personal attention I received was outstanding:

1. In a moment of urgency, I reached out to them on a morning with the hope of scheduling a meeting for a first bid evaluation later that afternoon. Not only did they accommodate my request, but they also made it happen seamlessly, meeting me within just a few hours. Their flexibility and responsiveness were remarkable.
2. Steven took the time to guide me through every aspect of formulating a winning bid strategy. We carefully examined comparable properties and analyzed the market in great detail. What stood out was the complete transparency of the process — I felt informed and empowered every step of the way.
3. Beyond the bidding strategy, Steven meticulously reviewed all the documentation related to the apartment and the purchasing agreement. He provided me with an in-depth analysis of key points to consider, always offering well-considered recommendations to ensure my decision-making was as informed as possible.

Thanks to Steven's guidance, we formulated one strong bid, received a positive response, and proceeded confidently with the purchase. He truly made what can be a complex and overwhelming process feel smooth, transparent, and thoroughly professional.

Emmely was our agent who was exceptional all the way through the process. She was very responsive, professional at all times and gave us a first class experience through our home-buying process. We felt she was fully invested and made it a priority to help us buy the exact place we were looking for. The data led, client centric approach was extremely reassuring and gave us confidence every step of the way. We would always recommend Walter Living and will certainly use them for our family and friends.

We had an amazing experience with Walter Living and highly recommend their services—especially our agent, Emmely van Grinsven! She was incredibly efficient and helped us finally win the bid on our dream home!
From the start, Emmely was proactive, knowledgeable, and always available to answer our questions. Her knowledge of the market and especially in den Bosch area helped us a lot. She gave us great advice on bidding, reached out directly to other agents, and kept supporting us even after we secured the home. Totally stress-free!
The Walter Living platform itself is also a great tool—interactive, data-driven, and super helpful for market research. Very nice to explore it yourself and also Walter has a lot of options that would fit any budget.

If you’re looking for a reliable and professional home-buying experience, we highly recommend Walter Living—especially if you are new to bidding and want to have the best money – quality experience.

Excellent intuitive tools & great real person support! Recommend to use this service for a data-driven winning bid. Hester for the win!

I liked their service, Steven clarified everything for me non-stop. Most likely, i will take this service again. Best,

We had a fantastic experience working with Paco from Walter Living while purchasing our home. From the very beginning, they were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient, guiding us through every step of the process with professionalism and care. They were always available to answer our questions, provide valuable insights, and support us through negotiations, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to their dedication and commitment, we found the perfect home.

The service was outstanding! Now, only waiting to get the keys.

We had a fantastic experience with Walter Living, and we highly recommend their services, especially Emmely our agent! She was incredibly efficient, and thanks to her, we managed to buy a house within just two weeks. Before that, we had more than five meetings within few days, during which she guided us through the process with expertise and dedication.

Emmely was proactive in reaching out to other agents directly and provided us with excellent bidding advice. The Walter Living platform is highly interactive and data-driven, making market research easy and insightful. Beyond securing the house, Emmely continued to support us through every step of the process, demonstrating her deep knowledge and commitment.

If you’re looking for a smooth and professional home-buying experience, we strongly recommend Walter Living particularly if you are not set on a specific city or neighborhood.

When I arrived in Amsterdam on January 20, I had already been on Funda everyday for almost 2 months searching for homes and analyzing the market from the United States. All I read about online was how competitive the market is and how there is a housing shortage and how it can take up to 6 months and many offers before your offer is accepted due to overbidding. The prevailing advice is prepare yourself for battle and don’t fall in love with any property because chances are your offer will not be accepted.
I made an appointment to meet with a local makelaar. The appointment kept shifting…meanwhile, I went back online to see about Walter Living which I had been thinking about using for months…fixed fee, access to their algorithm, online only help. By the time the IRL makelaar meeting was close, I’d already had a zoom meeting with my Walter Living agent, Emmely, and had gone to see my first apartment.
It is SO EASY to ask Walter Living to book viewings for properties I was interested in…to get the comparables…to have an idea going into the viewing of what the seller is expecting as an offer, what the market predicts, what the conservative offer or the All In offer would be…this is my dream scenario. I love numbers. I love analytics. Trends and numbers don’t lie. Average price per square meter doesn’t lie.
After walking neighborhoods and looking at the outside of places I was interested in viewing, I went to see my second apartment. And I fell in love. I fell hard. It was EVERYTHING I wanted—the neighborhood, the size, the layout, the appliances, the light.
Emmely and I strategized hard. We met at least two times online and emailed regularly to go over how to approach the offer. She was thorough and thoughtful and strategic and resourceful. She told me to write a letter to the sellers telling them what I loved about their home and explaining a bit about myself. She spoke with the selling agent multiple times before the offer deadline to make sure she understood what the sellers wanted (as much as was fair for the selling agent to share—nothing sneaky).
When she put in my offer, I knew we had done everything possible to ensure it was competitive.
AND IT WAS ACCEPTED!!!
My first offer on an apartment in Amsterdam was accepted. It was a miracle. Now I’m two weeks away from moving into my dream apartment.
This would not have been possible without Walter Living. They offer the best market information and support I can imagine. I can not recommend them highly enough. If you want to compete successfully in this market, you need Walter Living analytics on your side.
