The NVM Open Huizen Dag is an initiative of the Dutch Association of Estate Agents in which house sellers give you the chance to view their home without an appointment and without the need for an estate agent.

This accessible event is the perfect opportunity to get a good idea of the current supply on the housing market in a short time and to get an immediate feel for various houses and neighbourhoods.

The benefits of the NVM Open Homes Day?

We, as estate agents Helmond, estate agents Eindhoven and estate agents Den Bosch, know that the NVM Open Homes Day offers numerous advantages. For you as a buyer, it's a practical way to view several houses and ask questions directly to the sellers.

You also get the chance to experience the atmosphere in different neighbourhoods and see what a house looks like without the presence of us, as estate agents. For sellers, it is a great opportunity to show their house to a wide audience, which can increase the chances of selling.

Good preparation is essential, especially before the NVM Open Houses Day. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Research and select: Start by exploring our website at the house offerings or visit the well-known housing platform Funda to make a list of houses that meet your needs.

2. Route planning: Plan your route smartly to visit as many houses as possible. Pay attention to the event times 11:00 - 15:00 and establish a logical visiting order.

3. Questionnaire: Prepare a list of questions for sellers on maintenance, sales, reasons and energy efficiency, including the energy label.

4. Checklist: Make a checklist of points of interest during viewings, such as the state of the kitchen and any moisture problems.

5. Financial preparation: Know what your budget is by meeting with a mortgage broker, such as Freek Hypotheek, in advance so you can act quickly if you find your dream home.
