Hidde Spijkstra has worked in Amsterdam real estate, first at established firms and now as a real estate advisor in the Amster Vastgoed team. He deliberately chose a smaller agency, because the work stays closer to the client there and control doesn't slip away into protocols.
His practice leans heavily on guiding international clients. A first conversation often starts by video, sometimes from Singapore or New York, and ends a few months later at the notary in Amsterdam. He works just as comfortably in English as in Dutch, stays in close contact with tax advisors and relocators, and calmly explains the Dutch procedures that aren't obvious to foreign buyers.
He also guides Dutch buyers with very specific requirements that Funda rarely answers. Through the Qualis network and his own relationships, homes surface that are never offered publicly. No pressure tactics, no "now or never", but a patient game that usually delivers exactly the home you didn't expect to find.
