About us

Amsterdam Expat Housing was founded with one clear purpose: to help international professionals find the right home in Amsterdam with confidence, clarity, and expert local guidance. We specialise in supporting expats who are relocating to the Netherlands or already living in Amsterdam and looking to rent or purchase a property in a highly competitive housing market.

The Amsterdam housing market is fast-moving, complex, and often overwhelming for expats unfamiliar with local regulations, bidding practices, and landlord requirements. Our role is to simplify this process and act as a trusted local partner who represents your interests at every stage. We focus on quality, transparency, and long-term solutions rather than volume or speed alone.

We work exclusively with expats who have an employment contract in the Netherlands, as well as corporate clients relocating international employees. By focusing on this specific audience, we understand the challenges expats face tight timelines, limited availability, documentation requirements, and the need for clear communication in English.

Our services cover both rental and purchase guidance. For rentals, we assist with long-term apartments in the private sector, including furnished and unfurnished homes and off-market opportunities that are not always publicly listed. For purchasing, we support expats throughout the entire buying process, from search strategy and neighbourhood advice to negotiations, legal checks, and coordination with notaries and financial advisors.

What sets Amsterdam Expat Housing apart is our in-depth knowledge of Amsterdam’s neighbourhoods and market dynamics. We provide realistic advice on pricing, availability, and competition, helping clients set clear expectations and make informed decisions quickly. Timing is critical in this market, and our proactive approach ensures you are well prepared to act when the right opportunity arises.

We believe that clear communication and personal guidance are essential. Throughout the process, we explain each step in straightforward language, ensuring you understand your options and feel confident in your decisions. From the beginning of the search to contract signing and key handover, we offer structured, end-to-end support.
