Staete

What Staete does

Staete is a privately held Dutch residential real estate services firm headquartered in Waalwijk with six regional offices across North Brabant (Drunen, Vlijmen, Boxtel, Sint-Michielsgestel, and 's-Hertogenbosch). Operating as Staete Makelaars B.V. (brokerage) and Staete Hypotheken VOF (mortgage advisory), the company has served more than 10,000 customers over 25+ years since its 2000 founding, employing more than 30 'woonspecialisten' including NVM-certified brokers, NRVT/NWWI appraisers, financial advisors, legal specialists, and home stagers. Its core offering spans the full homeownership lifecycle: property sales advisory, buyer-side representation (Aankoopbegeleiding), personalized home-search coaching (Samen Zoeken, €495 for 3 months), NRVT/NWWI-certified valuations, mortgage and financial advisory through Staete Hypotheken, home staging, new-build project advisory, and commercial real estate brokerage. The single-advisor model (Persoonlijk adviseur wonen) routes each client to a dedicated coordinator who orchestrates the in-house specialists.

The company's technology stack is a regional services platform rather than a software product: a website with property listings, appointment booking, an online mortgage calculator, WhatsApp messaging integration, and the 2025-launched Staete Samen Zoeken App for daily listing monitoring. The proprietary 'Staete Primeur' service delivers early WhatsApp notifications of new listings to registered users before public release. Distribution is hybrid: walk-in offices, online appointment scheduling, phone, WhatsApp, and listings on Funda (the dominant Dutch property portal), supplemented by SEO, six localized Facebook pages, LinkedIn, Instagram, and participation in the twice-yearly NVM Open Huizen Dag. Revenue is generated through NVM-standard brokerage commissions on residential transactions, professional service fees for valuations and financial advisory, transaction-based brokerage fees, and the subscription Samen Zoeken product; exact commission rates and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Customer segments are horizontal residential: individual home buyers (including first-time, upsizers, downsizers, and new-build purchasers), home sellers, mortgage and refinancing clients, and a smaller commercial real estate tail. The customer base is highly fragmented across individual consumers with no enterprise anchors. The firm is founder/management-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no external funding rounds, and no M&A activity in the source materials.

Core offering

Staete is a Dutch residential real estate advisory firm providing full-service brokerage for buying, selling, financing, and valuing homes across North Brabant. Core services include home sales representation, buyer search coaching (Samen Zoeken at €495 for three months), purchase representation, NRVT/NWWI-certified property appraisals, mortgage advisory through Staete Hypotheken VOF, home staging, new-build project advisory, and commercial real estate brokerage. Each customer is assigned a single Persoonlijk adviseur wonen who coordinates all in-house disciplines.

Product overview

Staete is a full-service Dutch residential real estate brokerage offering a coordinated portfolio of buying, selling, financing, and valuation services under a single roof. The core offering centres on three integrated service lines: Woning Verkopen (home sales advisory), Samen Zoeken/Samen Kopen (buyer coaching and purchase representation), and Staete Hypotheken (mortgage and financial advisory), supplemented by NRVT/NWWI-certified appraisals, home styling, new-build project advisory, and commercial real estate services. A key differentiator is the dedicated Persoonlijk adviseur wonen model: each client works with one named advisor who coordinates all required specialisms—marketing, legal, financial, and technical—within the firm. The product portfolio spans the full homeownership lifecycle from search and acquisition through financing, appraisal, styling, and eventual sale.

Direct peers

• 123Wonen: Multi-office Dutch residential brokerage combining online property search with regional makelaar services, competing head-to-head for sellers in the same price band and customer segment as Staete.

Broad incumbents

• RE/MAX Netherlands: International franchise network operating many individual broker offices across the Netherlands; competes with Staete for sellers and buyers in North Brabant but at materially greater national scale.

Emerging players
