Here at JLG Real Estate we have one goal: selling your house. Clear communication, a step-by-step approach, and a strong relationship between you, the seller, and your JLG agent, are our keys to success. At JLG, we will create an elaborate marketing plan to optimally promote your apartment or house, making it easy to find a buyer. You can count on JLG to keep you informed about market trends, and advise you on the best marketing strategy. We make selling easy, helping you every step of the way, from well prepared introductory viewings, through guidance with contracts.

At JLG we believe that great service should be affordable. With our clear fee structure, there are no unexpected bills.

JLG Real Estate distinguishes itself from other NVM Real Estate agents in several ways. We combine using broad marketing strategies with excellent service, and a thorough understanding of the market. Given our background in rentals, we have a bridge to a large group of potential buyers from both inside and outside the Netherlands. Our database of people searching for homes is large and grows daily. When your house is featured on our mailing list, it will be brought to the attention of over 10,000 viewers. So set your expectations high. You will not be disappointed.

Your Online File

We maintain an online file for you. The selling process starts by putting your file together, and presenting your house to buyers. This costs 500 Euro (including VAT), paid at the beginning of service. This cost is deducted from the broker fee at the time of sale.

We take care of everything up through the final sale. We will arrange well prepared house viewings, perform financial investigations on potential buyers, negotiate an optimal price, and help with assessment reports, bank warranty, inspection, transfer and service after the sale.

Brochure and blueprint

JLG will create an eye catching, professionally printed brochure providing all relevant information on your house, including its special characteristics, 3-D blueprints, and pictures of the house.
