The problem

As a buyer you live in constant doubt

Searching, viewing, valuing, bidding, negotiating, surveys, appraisals and checking legal documents. You do none of this on a daily basis. No wonder you keep wondering whether you are forgetting something or getting it wrong.

Meanwhile you have to bid. You walked around for half an hour and have to name a number tomorrow. Too high, and you pay for one misstep for 30 years. Too low, and you start over.

Another evening on Funda, another viewing squeezed between meetings, another wait for a phone call. No wonder many buyers find the process gruelling.

The approach

How buying works with Roofmatch beside you

  • Win on certainty, not on price

    An offer has five components. Price is only one of them. The other four answer the question every seller asks: how certain is it that this sale actually goes through? That is where we win, and we do it without moving the risk onto you.

  • Bid based on data

    The asking price on Funda is not the real price. To determine a realistic offer, we calculate the true value with the help of AI. We take 12,000 data points into account, such as the condition and history of the property, what comparable homes nearby sold for, and trends in the market.

  • Leave your savings untouched

    You don’t have to spend years saving up for the buying costs first. If your income carries the mortgage, the buying costs go in with it. That includes the notary, the valuation and even our own fee.

  • Receive new listings before others

    Our search bots scan 5,000+ estate agent websites day and night. You see new properties up to 36 hours before they appear on Funda. So your viewing is booked while others are still scrolling.

  • Built for speed

    Our approach is designed to end searches, not to manage them. Which is why our clients are usually through on the first or second offer.

  • Advice that serves your interest

    Many agents charge a percentage of the purchase price, so the incentive points the wrong way. We work on a fixed fee, whatever the house costs. That way you know we always work in your interest.

  • Everything in English, including the Dutch paperwork

    Buying here is uncertain enough without a language barrier. Your agent works in English and reads every Dutch document for you, from the purchase agreement to the notarial deed.

  • No key, no fee

    We only get paid when you get the keys. No home within 3 months? Then it is your call: stop and get your start fee back, or keep going at no extra cost.

  • The freedom to change your mind

    An agent should earn your business, not lock it in. So you stay as long as you are happy, and leaving costs you nothing.

Colin, Kim & Basthe team behind your purchase

  1. We explore your options

    We look at your financial situation, what you are looking for and what is realistic in this market. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

  2. You receive listings fast

    Our search bots surface new listings and you decide which homes are worth a viewing.

  3. You look, we calculate

    While you look around the property, we calculate its true value. Together we go through the bid and the terms that give you the best chance.

  4. We negotiate on your behalf

    We submit the offer and negotiate the terms. Usually the first or second bid lands. If not, we help you bid as often as needed.

  5. We handle the paperwork

    Purchase agreement, zoning plan, homeowners association papers, appraisal, survey report, notary: paperwork that takes time and carries risk. We handle it all up to the handover of the keys.

  6. The keys

    You sign, and the house is yours. Only then do you receive our invoice.

    I was sceptical at first, but…

    I was sceptical, especially given the busy housing market in Almere. But it worked. Within six weeks we landed a home. Very happy with it and definitely recommended.
