Inspect before you invest.

This photo was taken at the end of the technical inspection, one of the most important moments in the buying journey.

The inspection delivered great results, and with that came relief, reassurance, and the quiet excitement of knowing the decision is grounded in facts, not guesswork.

Buying a home is emotional. It should feel exciting and personal. But behind that experience, someone needs to be looking beyond the surface, checking the structure, asking the right questions, and making sure there are no surprises waiting later.

That balance matters.
It allows buyers to enjoy the moment, trust the process, and move forward with confidence, knowing their investment is protected.

Because at Expat Things, the goal has always been the same:
to help expats go From Searching to Settled, with care, clarity, and heart.

Welcoming Felix and River to the Netherlands 🇳🇱

They’ve come all the way from the United States to begin a new chapter here, and it’s been such a privilege to walk alongside them at the start of this journey. Some of the gentlest, most caring people I’ve had the pleasure of helping, and truly grateful for the trust they placed in me during such a big life move.

Moments like these are a reminder that relocation is never just about a house. It’s about feeling supported, understood, and ready to start building a life in a new place.

Felix and River, welcome home. I wish you every happiness as this new adventure unfolds.

Yesterday’s buying viewing in Utrecht ended in the best way possible, with a coffee in Wittevrouwen and a moment to reflect on the process.

During that coffee, my client shared something that really stayed with me. She told me she had messaged her partner to say how relieved they felt having me with them at the viewing. While they could walk through the apartment and focus on how it felt to them, I was there checking the technical details, asking the in-depth questions, and looking beyond what meets the eye.

That balance matters.

Buying a home is not just about falling in love with a space. It is about feeling supported enough to experience the home fully, knowing that the details, risks, and practical questions are being handled alongside you. My role is to create that sense of calm and clarity, so clients can make decisions with confidence rather than pressure.

Grateful moments like this never get old.

River took the time to leave this review, and I don’t take that lightly.

Behind every kind word is a real journey — viewings, paperwork, nerves, relief, and finally… home.

As a small, independent business, these messages genuinely mean more to me than most people realise. They’re quiet reminders that the long days, the late replies, and the extra mile are worth it.

Thank you, River, for trusting me with your journey — and for taking the time to reflect on it. 🤍

Season’s Greetings!

I’ll be stepping away over the festive season for two weeks.

Thank you to each and every single client, partner, friend and family member over this first year of Expat Things operating independently under it’s own name - making it the best year yet.

I look forward to helping so many more expats go From Searching to Settled in 2026!

We are so happy that we could help secure a stunning rental for Kim and Dave here in the Netherlands.

Moving over with their friendly dog was stressful enough but moving into a fully furnished home where they’re within walking distance of the town square and any public transport they’d like, really gave them peace of mind.

Welcome to the Netherlands Kim and Dave, it truly was the biggest privilege to assist you both to go From Searching to Settled.

If this feel good kind of story resonates with you, feel welcome to give us a call.

Moving over without furniture is stressful enough.

That’s why Expat Things is happy to receive your deliveries for you while we have your keys, waiting for you to arrive in the country.

This client has a big stress of their shoulder now, knowing they have everything ready for them when they arrive.

If this is something you think could help you on your own move over, let’s have a chat.

Making clients happy isn’t just a goal at Expat Things — it’s the whole vision behind what we do.

Recently, we helped Brandon and Shayla secure this gorgeous stand-alone family home just outside Amersfoort. And thanks to our partner HomeCycle Amsterdam and their incredible moving and furnishing team, we were able to make sure the home was fully furnished before the whole family moved in.

It was the truest example of “samenwerking” — everyone working together so Brandon and his family could celebrate Thanksgiving in a warm, welcoming home of their own.

If this feel-good story resonates with you, I’d love to help you too. Supporting expats as they go From Searching to Settled is what this business was built for.

Because at Expat Things, our mission is simple: to help every expat go From Searching to Settled — with the right strategy, guidance and heart at every step.

There’s something special about Utrecht — the soft light on the canals, the historic bridges, and those quiet moments where the city feels like it’s welcoming you home.

Just a few steps from this beautiful view is where my clients will soon be settling into their first Dutch home.

Helping expat families find not just the right house, but the right place to build their new life, is why I love what I do.

Just Sold in Utrecht — A New Beginning for Two Very Happy Expats

Last Friday marked a truly special milestone at Expat Things.

My wonderful clients, Kate and Kohl, officially signed at the notary and became the proud owners of their new home in Utrecht.

Guiding them through the buying process — from the very first search to the final signature — has been an honour. As their aankoopmakelaar, I worked closely with them to secure a home that matched not just their needs, but their long-term dreams here in the Netherlands. Seeing them glowing with happiness at the notary was the perfect reminder of why I love what I do.

And personally? This one means a lot.
Although I have years of experience helping expats secure homes across the Netherlands, this closing is the first purchase completed under my very own brand, Expat Things. A proud moment — and a meaningful step in building a company rooted in trust, care, and truly personalised support.

Because at Expat Things, my mission is simple: to help every expat go From Searching to Settled — with the right strategy, guidance and heart at every step.
