About us

I have been working as a real estate agent in Amsterdam since 2001. Together with Kay Olsmeyer I started the forerunner of The Good Guys 15 years ago. It gives me satisfaction when I see the potential of a house, convince my client of that potential and hear years later that they never want to leave their house. A few years ago I had a house built near the Amstel River in Oost. My family is really happy living there. At the time, many friends were leaving Amsterdam, but I consider it a luxury that my children are growing up in Amsterdam. And I can bike to the office every day.

I have been living and working as a real estate agent in Amsterdam since 2002. I have worked at several large offices and started The Good Guys with Vincent 15 years ago. I love to negotiate, both when buying and selling, I fight for the best price for my client. I am satisfied when clients refer others to me, to me that is proof that I do my job well. I am originally from Groningen, but have lived in Amsterdam for over 20 years, mostly in Centrum, the most vibrant part of the city.

It inspires me to work inside and outside. I love organizing, scheduling appointments and finding a good home for our clients. I have a fashion degree and worked for several brands, including Tommy Hilfiger. In 2021, I decided to switch to real estate. I have learned so much over the past few years. Fashion and real estate both use my ability to see potential: I know what you can make out of a run-down house, as long as the basics are right. I live in Amsterdam West, the neighborhood for bon vivants.

As the granddaughter of an Amsterdam contractor, a love of houses runs in my blood. I have been fascinated by houses all my life. There's nothing more enjoyable than finding a suitable house for someone! That still motivates me every day after 25 years. I have been working at The Good Guys as a real estate agent for 11 years where I am also responsible for all rentals. I was born and raised in Amsterdam, but now live with my family in a lovely house in Amstelveen, close to the Amsterdam forest. My dog Biscott – a Basset – loves the forest. Fortunately, she loves our office on Lijnbaansgracht just as much, where she often stands guard.

Give me a problem and I dive in. The diversity of my work energizes me, such as contact with clients, photographers, stylists and notaries. I love tracking down relevant documents and arranging a move for a client abroad. There is nothing like scheduling successive appointments for clients as efficiently as possible. Of all the Good Guys, I'm the one who’s always in the office and occasionally I’ll dive into the kitchen to prepare lunch. Before this, I was a recruiter, looking for the right people for a job. Now I connect people and houses, which is more satisfying. Last year I bought a house on the Sloterplas. I saw the potential of the apartment and left only the main wall untouched. Despite two left hands, I rebuild the house mostly by myself with friends and family.
