Many people immediately have a preconception about a realtor. Realtors are regularly given an image of being ‘the quick type’. This damages the overall confidence in real estate agents in the Netherlands. The term estate agent is used for both the selling and the buying agent. However, people more often refer to a real estate agent when the real estate agent is selling a house. This is mainly because a sales broker is involved in every sale while a purchase broker does not always occur.

In the Netherlands, there are three trade associations for real estate agents. All three check the brokers affiliated with them on expertise, reliability and security. The three trade associations for real estate agents in the Netherlands are: the NVM, VBO and VastgoedPro. All three are affiliated with the Real Estate Dispute Commission. This ensures that you as a consumer are protected if you have a dispute with the broker. In addition, the brokers have received training, so this proves the quality and expertise of the broker.
NVM is the largest trade organization for real estate agents in the Netherlands. The NVM supports both the broker and the consumer. In addition, as an organization, they promote the interests of NVM Makelaar in the Netherlands, for example regarding laws and regulations. The NVM has various departments, which means that they are divided into different regions. An example of this is the Makelaarsvereniging Amsterdam (MVA) in Amsterdam. Each department within the NVM must adhere to the rules set by the NVM. Some departments make a distinction by using quality labels such as “New Building Specialist” or “Leasehold Expert”.
The Vereniging Bemiddeling Onroerend goed, also known as VBO, focuses not only on agents but also on consumers. The website of the VBO displays the offers of all VBO estate agents. However, the core task of VBO remains to represent the interests of VBO real estate agents. The organization has a reputation as an innovative and customer-oriented organization with clear advice.
VastgoedPro is a professional association that does not communicate directly with consumers. This trade association is there specifically to support and guide various professions in the real estate industry. VastgoedPro was created in 2009 from a merger to ensure quality, promote interests and expertise. The merger originated from the National Association of Estate Agents (LMV) and Register of Real Estate Appraisers (RVT). Although VastgoedPro exists relatively young, the association has over 25 years of experience from the previous two professional associations.
