Why choose a real estate agent?
Real estate agents exist for a reason. Buying or selling a home isn't something you do every day, and there's a lot involved. An agent is anything but superfluous, handling many tasks for you.
An agent manages tasks such as:
- Finding suitable homes (even before they're listed on Funda)
- Listing your property on Funda (only agents can do this)
- Conducting viewings and negotiations
- Arranging and reviewing legal documents
And that's not all. Learn what a selling agent can handle for you and discover everything you need to know about selling your home. Or find out what a buying agent can do for you and what you need to know about buying a house.

Types of real estate agents
Real estate agents in the Netherlands may or may not be affiliated with a professional association. Most agents are members of NVM, VBO, or VastgoedPRO. A small portion operate independently, without affiliation.
The NVM is the leading association for real estate agents in the Netherlands, with about 4,400 members, followed by VBO with around 1,100 members. VastgoedPro is a professional organization with approximately 800 members.
Professional requirements for agents
Affiliated agents must meet various quality standards, including:
- Strict educational requirements
- Adherence to ethical guidelines
- Holding a specific real estate diploma (SVMNIVO diploma)
Potential higher costs
Starting an NVM agency involves a more extensive procedure than with VBO and VastgoedPro. Therefore, you often pay somewhat more for the services of an NVM agency compared to non-NVM agents.

Frequently asked questions
Is a real estate agent required when buying or selling my house?
No, you are not legally required to hire a real estate agent when buying or selling a house in the Netherlands. However, an agent is far from superfluous. An agent offers market knowledge, negotiation skills, and legal guidance, making the entire process smoother and quicker. Often, this expertise helps you easily recover the agent fees through a higher sale price or a lower purchase offer.
What is the difference between a buying agent and a selling agent?
A buying agent represents the buyer, assisting in finding homes, negotiating the best purchase price and terms, and guiding the buying process. On the other hand, a selling agent works for the seller to market the property, negotiate the best sale price, and oversee the selling process.
Can I negotiate real estate agent fees?
Yes, real estate agent fees are not fixed and are negotiable. If you find negotiating intimidating or unpleasant, you can request quotes from multiple agents to ensure you get the best deal. Mijn Verkoopmakelaar can assist you with this.
Should I choose an online real estate agent or a traditional one?
Online real estate agents are typically cheaper than traditional ones. This is because you are responsible for tasks like taking photos and conducting viewings yourself. Online agents often charge a fixed, upfront fee. A traditional agent, on the other hand, handles almost everything for you, which comes at a higher cost. The choice is yours.
