Volkert Makelaardij

What Volkert Makelaardij does

Volkert Makelaardij is a privately held Dutch real estate brokerage headquartered in Purmerend, North Holland, operating since 2001 (per firmographic records; the website does not state a founding date). The firm delivers residential and commercial property brokerage services across a regional corridor spanning from Amsterdam to Waterland and from Purmerend to Zaanstad. Its service mix comprises four core lines: Verkoopbegeleiding (sales guidance), Aankoopbegeleiding (purchase guidance), Verhuur (rental brokerage), and (Her)ontwikkeling (re)development consulting targeted at property professionals. Customers include individual residential buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants, commercial property clients, and a smaller subset of development professionals; the firm positions itself as a customer-focused boutique alternative to commission-maximizing brokerages.

The firm operates with a team of approximately seven dedicated professionals, including brokers (makelaars), appraisers (taxateurs), and internal office staff (binnendienstmedewerkers). Leadership consists of Willem Haars as Director (Directeur), Roy Haars as Real Estate Specialist and Developer (Vastgoedspecialist / Ontwikkelaar), alongside additional specialists and an internal administration lead. The firm is family-led and independently owned, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or stock exchange listing. Customer satisfaction is reported on-site at an average of 9.4 for sales activities and 9.5 for purchase guidance, based on client reviews.

Volkert Makelaardij generates revenue through transaction-based commissions on property sales and rentals. The firm uses a hybrid go-to-market combining its own website platform, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), referral-based traditional networking, and distribution partnerships with the major Dutch real estate marketplaces funda, pararius, and Vastgoed Nederland. There is no proprietary technology platform; operations rely on standard brokerage workflows supported by professional photography and staging services. The firm maintains GDPR/AVG compliance for personal data processing. No revenue, funding, M&A, or expansion financials are publicly disclosed.
