I would like to thank compass housing for the excellent service I received during my recent apartment search in Amsterdam. In particular, I would like to pay special tribute to Raoul, who went above and beyond to ensure that I found the perfect apartment for my needs. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly responsive and responsive to my specific requirements. They took the time to understand my budget, location preferences and other considerations that were important to me and were always available to answer my questions and offer helpful advice throughout the process. What impressed me most about Raoul was his commitment to finding the right apartment for me. He listened to my feedback after each viewing and used this information to refine his search, ultimately leading to the discovery of the perfect apartment. His attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile made a huge difference in my overall experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Raoul and compass housing to anyone looking for in Amsterdam. Thank you again for the excellent service.

I had a superb experience with Compass Housing Amsterdam, and plan to be a repeat customer. As an expat from the USA moving to Amsterdam as an international transfer, I needed to find an apartment quickly, and being brand new to the country had a lot of questions (how does the washer/dryer work, how would I set up cable/internet and utilities, how does the trash work, can you recommend a cleaner, etc). Patrick Gerritsen was professional, timely, and we found an apartment within a few hours. Patrick answered all my questions mentioned above, and was also very helpful once I moved in (he went above and beyond to make sure that I was able to get set up correctly, and he also worked with the landlord to adjust the starting date and include a few more amenities in order to make the apartment more compelling for me). Would recommend Compass Housing Amsterdam to anyone interested in finding a place to live. Thanks again! All the best, Shiva Ramesh

  • Kate Sastrokarijo

I've worked with Compass Housing, in particularly with Patrick, because our company needed proper short stay housing for employees that would stay in Amsterdam for 2-3 weeks. Airbnb or hotels where just too expensive (e.a. 150-200 euro per night). What I really enjoyed the most was the level of service he delivered. I would send him an email requesting a house in the city center of Amsterdam for a period and x amount of time. Usually I would get an email back on the same day either with 3 options or stating that he was looking into it and would get back to me. Well, that's proper communication. He made sure that, during the stay of our employees, there was always someone available to contact if there where any problems. I mean, that's top notch service, especially if you're not from around here. So, I would definitely recommend this company for the good service and quality houses that they have in their portfolio.

  • Marko Puska

Fast, efficient and a complete package. From viewing to moving in - 24hours. Utilities transferred through their partners portal within minutes, they even helped me tremendously with ordering Internet. I felt well taken care of and that my interests were fairly liaised with the landlord. Rauol was compassionate, understanding of my situation and kind enough to answer all raised questions. He even followed up with other helpful information like waste and recycling. During the viewing, he was very honest about the property and did not try to shy away or sugarcoat any drawbacks. Genuinely felt he was there to help me find my new home. Patrick was super quick with replying to every email and very approachable to clarify any contract questions. They went above and beyond, even post move, to make my settling in as smooth as possible. Highly recommend.

  • Prateek Mishra

Compass Housing helped me find a new home in a new country. They helped me showing houses and appartment as per my requirements and went with me for house visits and helped me understand everything about housing in Netherlands. I had a constant support via email and whatsapp for all my queries. Post finding my house they helped verify the rental agreeement and gave me information about the house, area, transport. Helped me setup utilities like Gas Water Electricity Mobile via easyNuts. From Day 1 arriving to the Netherlands, they have been contacting me and supporting me to find a house. I cannot thank them enough. I know an entire team works to build such a ecosystem and I want to thank entire compass team for it specially Patrick, Kendra, Willem & Raoul (people who I interacted with) who helped me plan, visit and provided end to end support.

  • Dani Nguyen

I used Compass (and worked directly with Patrick Gerritsen) for my search. We moved from Stockholm, Sweden to Amsterdam, Netherlands. We didn’t know anything about the Amsterdam rental market and was in for a surprise - bidding wars on rent and deposits! My family have moved around a lot (Boston, San Francisco, Stockholm) and I’d say this is one of the worse. They were able to find something great within 2 weeks. We love our location and apartment! The entire process was super clear and smooth. For days I could not make it to the showing, Patrick just did a video recording. His entire team were helpful and super easy to work with. They even caught an illegal clause in our contract and helped us set up utilities. I would highly recommend this place and specifically Patrick if you do not want to maneuver this market alone.

  • Nisha Agrawal

Compass Housing helped me in finding a home of my liking in Amsterdam. They were patient throughout the process that took around 3 months.Everyone was super helpful and reachable over WhatsApp during work hours. They helped me in getting viewings for apartments that I found over property sites like Funda, Pararius. Sometimes, they would also suggest some really good (internally-known off the chart) properties based on my search criteria. Someone from the company would always be there at the viewing to show me around. They were very quick with making the offer and very diligent with following up with the other agent for update. They also helped me with setting up utilities like internet, water and also followed up with any other issues I had after I moved to my new home!

  • Keith Fitzpatrick

Patrick and the team at Compass were amazing. They worked tirelessly to find a place for our kids that are doing MA's in the Netherlands. Right from the beginning Patrick said that it would be difficult with the current housing market in Amsterdam and he was right. Communication was great through Zoom and walk through videos of potential flats. The team came through in the end with an amazing place in a great location. They even found us a short stay before move in date. Patrick worked with us through the lease signing which was very important support in a different country. We cannot thank Patrick and the team at Compass Housing enough. I recommend you give them a chance to help you with your housing needs

  • Ananth Rajendran

I had an amazing experience with Compass Housing. They were incredibly helpful in my search for a rental place to stay in the Netherlands and went above and beyond and shared lots of options with me. The team was very responsive to all my queries and provided me with valuable information and advice on housing in the Netherlands. Special Thanks to Patrick, Kendra, Nina, and Raoul for the valuable advice provided to me. I am so grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for housing in the Netherlands. Thank you, Compass Housing, for making my transition to the Netherlands so smooth and stress-free!

  • Ellen Kavanagh

These guys were really exceptional. Myself and my partner had been struggling to find a place amidst the housing crisis. Weeks of work with other estate agents was no help, but after one email to Compass Housing, I had a video-viewing the next day and my apartment had been confirmed within three days. Dream service! Both Patrick and Raoul were easy to talk to and answered all my questions quick and efficiently. They've even kept in contact and continued to help us in dealing with the third-party management company. All around great experience and they got us our dream place!

  • Craig Martin

I used Compass Housing to secure an apartment for a shortish-term lease (i.e. just under 6 months). I needed to secure a place before arriving in Amsterdam, which made it tricky. Patrick and Raoul at Compass were by far the best agency I dealt with - responsive to communication, sending my tailored options, dependable and reliable in setting times to view properties by Skype, and helpful in arranging for money transfer issues, getting the lease signed, etc. And were great on the day of taking possession. All in all, great service, and I would highly recommend them.

  • Frank Damiano

I asked Raoul from Compass Housing to help me find a tenant for my property, as I was leaving the country and wanted to rent out my apartment. In the span of just days he has been able to organise many visits and find several good candidates. He's always reachable, precise and professional; overall his company offers a great service and have lots of experience in the Amsterdam's market. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone that wishes to rent out his property. In the real estate business it's not always easy to find professionals of this caliber. Well done Raoul!

  • MUHAN ISABELLA XIE

Compass housing is the best agency you can find in the Netherlands! I just rent a perfect apartment in Amsterdam through Compass housing. This agency is very professional, responsible and friendly. As for a foreigner, it is very difficult to find a suitable apartment or house in Amsterdam. I viewed three apartments from Compass Housing. Then I chose one of them. Patrick helped me a lot about finding a right apartment, and communicating with the landlord so I can live in this apartment which really suits me. It was a really nice experience!

  • Abhinayaa Raja

I had an exceptional experience with Compass Housing. Their patience in accommodating my preferences was truly commendable. The team's professionalism and politeness made the entire process enjoyable. Thanks to their extensive network, I finally found a place after persistent efforts. Given the challenges of finding housing in Amsterdam, I'd wholeheartedly recommend this agency to everyone. A big shout-out to Kendra, Patrick, Nina, Raoul, and the entire team for their invaluable support throughout my house hunting journey.

  • Nikolai Brel

Amazing service! Highly recommended! The whole team is incredible, super friendly, professional and easy reachable via WhatsApp. They managed to find us the perfect apartment in just a one week. They carefully gathered all our requirements, accompanied us on all viewings, were really helpful and clarified all the questions we had. Special thanks to Nina, Patrick and Kendra! PS: We suggested Compass to our friends, and the team assisted them in discovering a fantastic apartment!

  • Elisabeth VandenBergh

Vorige week gearriveerd uit Brussel voor mijn werk in Amsterdam, was ik zeer verrast door de snelle afhandeling van Compass Housing op mijn urgente vraag naar een goede woning in het hart van Amsterdam. Ik had zelf rekening gehouden met een lange zoektijd! Het tegendeel bleek waar; Compass Housing heeft mij binnen een tijdbestek van slechts 3 dagen aan een mooie woning geholpen voor de komende 3 jaar! Een absolute aanrader voor expats!

  • Elif Tuanna Ayaroğlu

Thanks to the amazing people at Compass Housing, I found my dream apartment in Amsterdam. Inspite of the competitiveness of the housing market in the city, I had a very pleasant experience in the search process. They were so proactive, responsive and experienced in their field which made things very easy for me. A big thank you to Kendra, Patrick, Nina and Raoul who supported me in literally anything I needed throughout this time!

  • Mohit Yadav

I had taken the Home Search service. Highly Recommended !!!!!! Patrick in specific took extra time to understand my needs in depth and then find a place that I feel good calling home. He went out of way to arrange viewings, negotiate rent and deposit. On top that also helped me in settling in that goes beyond the service package. This is the best service that I have ever had and highly recommend the service from Compass Housing.

  • Dani Guedea

Our experience with Compassing Housing has been fantastic. We worked with Patrick specifically and everything from the viewing to signing the final rental agreement was seamless. He was very clear on timelines and what was expected throughout the rental process - which was very helpful since we are new to the area. He even helped us set up utilities. Would highly recommend Compass Housing to anyone looking to rent.

  • Daniyar Ospanov

I had a great experience working with Compass Housing Amsterdam while searching for my first home in Amsterdam. They demonstrated professionalism and I was highly satisfied with their services. Despite the challenging real estate market, their agents were able to find a suitable option for me. I would like to give special recognition to real estate agents Kendra and Patrick for their exceptional work.

  • Szilvia Lakatos

I gave the team the list of features of my ideal apartment and within a couple weeks they managed to find a place that met all the criteria. They are efficient, communicate well and really try to help you finding your dream home. A special shout out to Kendra who was always available and eager to find a solution whatever challenge we faced during the apartment search process. Thanks guys!

  • Danylo Sorokin

I came to Amsterdam for work and Compass Housing was hired by my employer to help me find a place here. I had in total around 10 viewings with them before I found my place: some apartments they found for me before they were advertised on internet, some I found myself and asked them to schedule a viewing for me. I mostly worked with Nina and Patrick and found them super helpful :)

  • Selin Melkonyan

My experience with Compassing Housing has been great. I felt lucky to be able to work with Patrick and Nina on the team. Everything from arranging numerous house viewing, sharing expertise and guidance according to your needs and wishes to signing the final rental agreement was seamless. Compass Housing will definitely be my first choice if I need a makelaar. Highly recommend!

  • Fran Gerrett

The guys at Compass Housing were amazing! We had 7 days to find an apartment and move in and they helped us to do so. The whole process was so smooth and they made the whole process so easy for us which meant our moving day was fun and not stressful! We won't use any other agents in the future except for Compass Housing! Thanks so much!

  • Ivo Huijskens

Gisteren heeft mijn partner nietsvermoedend een bezichtiging ingepland voor een huis om vijf uur. We waren er stipt om vijf, maar niemand was daar. Zeer onprofessioneel, zeker omdat ons verzekerd is dat er iemand zou zijn. We hebben beide een drukke baan en het is dus niet makkelijk voor ons. Teleurstellende organisatie!

  • Tariel Mathilde

Patrick and his team are trustworthy people, highly professional and very responsive. As French leaving in Amsterdam, I was really impressed by the professionalism of Compass brokers. Very nice people though. I would recommend them definitely and will not hesitate to contact them for an apartment search when back.
