What Van der Krabben makelaardij does

Van der Krabben Makelaardij B.V. is a privately-held, partner-owned Dutch real estate brokerage founded in 1903 and headquartered in Oss, North Brabant, with a second office in Uden. The firm operates under two legal entities — Van Der Krabben Oss BV and Van Der Krabben Uden BV — and is owned by four NVM-certified partners (Dave de Jongh, Joris Welten, Ralph Timmermans, and Harm van der Pas). Approximately 37 team members deliver services across four core verticals: residential brokerage (Wonen), new construction (Nieuwbouw), commercial real estate (Zakelijk), and mortgage advisory (Hypotheken), supplemented by property valuation (Taxatie) and premium property marketing via the Qualis network.

The company runs a traditional field-sales model supported by a standard Dutch brokerage technology stack: Funda and Funda in Business for property listings, Qualis for premium/luxury property distribution, NWWI for valuation certification, and a newly adopted adviessoftware platform for mortgage advisory. Distribution is anchored by two physical offices with walk-in advisory, plus phone, WhatsApp, email, and online appointment scheduling. Customers are sourced primarily through Funda, local referrals, newsletter sign-ups, and free property valuation offers that feed the seller pipeline.

Revenue is generated on a commission basis across the four service lines, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The customer base is highly distributed across individual residential buyers and sellers, commercial clients, new-construction buyers, and mortgage seekers in the North Brabant region — spanning Oss, Uden, Veghel, Schaijk, Heesch, Nistelrode, Zeeland, and extending to Tilburg. The firm is NVM- and NWWI-certified, GDPR-compliant, and has no disclosed funding, parent company, or M&A activity.

Direct peers

• Makelaarsland: Large Dutch online-first brokerage offering flat-fee residential sales across the Netherlands. Directly competes for seller mandates in the same North Brabant region with a fundamentally different (low-fee, digital) value proposition.
• ERA Nederland: International real estate franchise with Dutch offices in the North Brabant region. Competes head-to-head on residential brokerage mandates with similar NVM-aligned service offerings.
• Riant Makelaars: Dutch regional brokerage group operating multiple offices in North Brabant, offering residential and commercial brokerage and valuations. Closely comparable in scale, service mix, and target market.
• RE/MAX Nederland: Global real estate franchise operating multiple offices in North Brabant. Provides similar residential/commercial brokerage services through a franchise model, competing for the same buyer and seller pool.

Broad incumbents

• Van Wijnen: Large Dutch construction and real estate group with brokerage, development, and new-construction activities. A broader incumbent that overlaps with Van der Krabben's Nieuwbouw and Zakelijk service lines.
• BPD (Bouwfonds Property Development): Leading Dutch residential property developer. As a new-construction supply source, BPD is a counterpart in the Nieuwbouw value chain and competes indirectly for new-build sales mandates.

Others

• Hypotheek Visie: National Dutch mortgage advisory franchise. Operates in adjacent mortgage-advisory space and competes with Van der Krabben's Hypotheken service line for the same consumer.
• Rabobank: Major Dutch bank with significant mortgage origination and real estate advisory functions. Indirect competitor/partner for mortgage mandates and a counterparty in many property transactions.
• De Hypotheker: Largest Dutch mortgage advisory franchise network. Adjacent rather than directly competing; Van der Krabben's Hypotheken division competes with De Hypotheker offices for the same mortgage-advice mandate.
• Qualis: Dutch network for premium and luxury property listings, of which Van der Krabben is a member. Adjacent ecosystem participant — collaboration partner for high-end mandates rather than direct competitor.
