With 20 years of proven experience in real estate, Bard Haverkamp is a trusted face in the property world. As a certified Register Real Estate Agent, he combines this years-long practical experience with in-depth knowledge of the dynamic market in Amsterdam and Amstelveen. He also knows the local market of the Green Heart like no other: from luxury canal houses in the city to characterful village homes in Leimuiden, Rijnsaterwoude and Woubrugge (municipality of Kaag en Braassem).
Where "real estate agent" is an unregulated profession in the Netherlands, a Register Real Estate Agent does offer you guaranteed assurance. This protected title means that Bard meets the highest training and quality standards in the industry. This gives you verified market knowledge, legal expertise and reliability in every transaction.
His approach is honest, direct and transparent. Thanks to 20 years of sharp pricing insight, an efficient sales process and genuine dedication, Bard consistently achieves the maximum result — whether it's an apartment in Amsterdam, a villa in the Gooi or a family home in Leimuiden.
Haverkamp Makelaardij deliberately chooses to stay small-scale. This allows us to take the time and space your process deserves. From the first no-obligation valuation to the final key transfer, you deal directly with your own agent. Short lines of communication, fast answers and full commitment to your property.
Below we answer the most common questions about our way of working as a real estate agent in Leimuiden and the wider service area of Haverkamp Makelaardij.
As a real estate agent in Leimuiden, Haverkamp Makelaardij works with clear, pre-agreed rates — a fixed fee or a percentage of the purchase or sale price, with no hidden costs. During a no-obligation introductory meeting, you'll receive a concrete quote tailored to your situation, whether you live in Leimuiden itself or elsewhere in our service area.
From our office in Leimuiden, we are broadly active: in Greater Amsterdam, Amstelveen, the Gooi en Vechtstreek region, and in Kaag en Braassem (including Leimuiden itself, Rijnsaterwoude and Woubrugge). In addition, we regularly guide buyers and sellers in Haarlemmermeer, Hoofddorp, Nieuw-Vennep and Kudelstaart.
This varies per property: expect it to typically take several weeks, depending on the type of home, the asking price, and current market conditions in Leimuiden or your own region. During the valuation, we give you a realistic estimate, so you won't face any surprises.
Yes. In addition to sales and rental guidance, Haverkamp Makelaardij also acts as a buyer's agent — in Leimuiden and throughout the rest of our service area. We search alongside you, assess homes critically, and negotiate exclusively on your behalf, from viewing to key transfer.
A real estate agent in Leimuiden knows the local market, the village centres of Kaag en Braassem and the Green Heart, as well as the dynamics of larger cities like Amsterdam and the Gooi. That combination of local knowledge and regional experience delivers sharper price advice, faster response times, and personal guidance — exactly what Haverkamp Makelaardij stands for.
As a real estate agent, we are legally required to identify clients and carry out risk-based customer due diligence, in accordance with the Dutch Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act (Wwft). In practice, this means that for every assignment we verify the identity of buyer and seller, check the purpose and origin of funds, and screen against sanctions lists and PEP (politically exposed person) status. We carefully record these findings in a risk assessment per file, in line with the GDPR (AVG). This way we fulfil our gatekeeper role without causing unnecessary delay for you as a client.
