Testimonials
what our clients have to say...
“Barry is an absolute rockstar if you are looking for your new home! He is very professional with huge circle of network, kind, caring, very fast with responses and does listen to your requirements when it comes to your preferences. He does an amazing job and would highly recommend him to my friends and colleagues! Thank you Barry for all your help finding our beautiful place we can call: home!”
Heidi Kalmar
“The first thing which stood out about Barry is that he answered an email I had sent him on a Sunday. After that he continuously showed a lot of support throughout the entire process. He knew everything about each apartment we viewed, his communication was clear, his estimate for the offer was accurate and 9 days after that Sunday I had an accepted offer. You can see he knows what he is doing, and has the right contacts with other agencies and agents to allow for a smooth process. 100% recommended.”
Athena Barris
” I have nothing but good things to say about the dream team of Barry and Monique Burgemeester. They guide us through the process with efficiency and with an excellent eye for detail. We now truly have our dream home and I am confident that we succeeded because of our choice in buying agent. Definitely the right choice for expats. I hear countless horror stories from friends who have gone elsewhere, so I’m glad I went with people I could trust.”
Ben Storey
