Why choose Makelaarshuis Helmond as your selling agent

2 October 2026 · 6 min

Choosing an estate agent means choosing a person

When you sell your home, you are entrusting someone with your most valuable possession. You are not so much choosing an office or a logo, but a person. Someone who will present your home, sit down with buyers and negotiate on your behalf over a sum you will be living on for years to come.

At Makelaarshuis Helmond you know in advance who that is. From the first conversation to the key handover, you deal with the same person. No account manager who wins the instruction and then disappears, no assistant who does the viewings, no changing faces. That sounds simple, but in practice it makes the biggest difference.

More than twenty years in this region

We have been active in Helmond and the surrounding area for more than twenty years. In that time we have sold hundreds of homes, from terraced houses in Mierlo-Hout to detached homes in Stiphout and apartments in the city centre. That experience is not in a brochure, but in the things you do not see: knowing which asking price works in Brandevoort and which in Rijpelberg, knowing which type of buyer is in the market at which moment, and knowing how not to close off a negotiation too early.

Our area runs from Helmond and Eindhoven to Deurne, Laarbeek, Geldrop, Mierlo, Nuenen, Asten, Someren and Gemert. We deliberately do not cover the whole of the Netherlands. If you work everywhere, you know the streets nowhere.

What you can expect from us in practice

• One dedicated contact. The same person from valuation to transfer, available whenever you want to know something.
• An honest valuation. Backed by comparable sales in your own neighbourhood, and not inflated to win the instruction.
• A presentation that stands out. Professional photography, strong copy and a listing that makes buyers click through instead of scrolling past.
• Active follow-up. We call interested parties back; we do not wait for them to call us.
• Negotiation with a plan. We discuss with you in advance what your bottom line is and which conditions matter more to you than the price alone.
• Legal care. A purchase agreement (koopovereenkomst) with the clauses that protect you, an up-to-date bidding log and attendance at the final inspection.
• Clear fees. You know where you stand in advance, with no surprises afterwards.
• Evening appointments. On weekdays until 21:00, so you do not have to take a day off for it.

Presentation is not a side issue

A buyer decides within seconds whether to click through. That decision is made on the first photo and the first sentence. Yet we still see homes online with dark photos, crooked lines and a description that comes straight from a template.

That is why we invest in the presentation of your home. Good photography at the right time of day, an accurate floor plan, and a description that tells people why they would want to live here instead of just listing how many bedrooms there are. That takes more time, and it brings more viewings. More viewings bring more offers, and more offers bring a better price.

A small office with short lines of communication

We are not a chain, and that is a choice. At a large office, your file is split between people who pass each other in the corridor. With us, your file lies with one person who has seen the inside of your home, who knows what matters to you and who knows what happened next door last week.

It also means that we do not accept every instruction. We would rather take on fewer homes and give them our full attention than serve a hundred files halfway.

Also at home in the international market

Thanks to Brainport, the Eindhoven region constantly attracts new international residents. Some of your potential buyers do not speak Dutch. We guide international buyers and sellers in English, German and French, and Polish-speaking clients can reach us in Polish via WhatsApp. For your sale, this simply means that a larger group of buyers can seriously consider your home.

Where to find us

Our office is at Kanaaldijk NW 85 in Helmond. You are welcome to walk in, call 0492-23 40 40 or send us a message via WhatsApp. We schedule the valuation at a time that suits you, including weekday evenings.

Conclusion

You do not choose a good selling agent for the lowest commission (courtage) or the highest promise. You choose them because you trust that they will do the work themselves, that they know your neighbourhood and that they will tell you honestly what they see. That is exactly what we are set up for.

The conversation always starts the same way: we come round, look at your home and tell you what is achievable. Free of charge and without obligation.
