The force that keeps the office running.
Karin Los has been involved with Amster Vastgoed from the very first hour and is, in fact, indispensable to the way the office works. Her role is broad and operational: the kind of work you only notice when it's missing. Direct contact between agents, clients and partners, decisions we make together on the spot, and the certainty that someone is keeping the office on an even keel.
What she actually does runs from the application process to management tasks. Recruiting new colleagues, scheduling intake conversations, organizing trial days and judging with Joshua whether someone is a long-term fit. On top of that, the partner integrations that carry the work: the membership of the Qualis network, the HousApp viewing widget that lets home seekers book a viewing online themselves, and Qwilr for the brochures of our buying and selling conversations.
And then there's the administrative layer: keeping an overview of ongoing cases, keeping contracts and agreements in order, and making sure the documents a notary needs are available at the right moment. All of it with the eye it takes to see when something is going wrong before it goes wrong.
Specialism
Four things Karin excels at.
Point of contact
First contact at Amster Vastgoed
Whether you're applying, a partner, or have a question about an ongoing case: your question often lands with Karin first. She makes sure nothing falls through the cracks, puts the right colleague on it and keeps track of the follow-up until it's done.
Recruitment
Finding new colleagues
The application process, intake conversations, shadowing days and judging whether someone is a long-term fit. No staffing agencies, no broad job platforms. We go for the perfect match, not for the masses.
Network
Partnerships and tools
The Qualis network membership, the links with HousApp and Qwilr, and the relationships with notaries, banks and tax advisors that make the work possible. Work that stays invisible when it runs smoothly.
FAQ by Karin
Straight answers.
What exactly does an office manager do at a real estate agency?
At a small agency like ours it's a broad role: I handle applications and intake conversations for new colleagues, manage the partnerships with Qualis and our software (HousApp, Qwilr), keep an overview of ongoing cases and keep contact between agents and clients direct. My role is varied, but it always comes down to keeping the office running smoothly.
Who is my first point of contact for an application?
That's me. Send your CV and cover letter to info@amstervastgoed.nl. I always confirm that your message has arrived, schedule a first introduction if the match looks interesting, and after that possibly organize a shadowing day. The full procedure is on the careers page, but you can always send an email first, before making a formal application.
