Orange Wonen Verhuurmakelaars - Kerkstraat 235

They were extremely helpful with our moving into our first rental apartment in the Netherlands, both friendly and professional. Everything was done quickly and lots of questions that I wasn't aware of were raised and resolved. I highly recommend!

Overpromise but underdeliver They (not me!) give the advice on the rental price and set it when the home owner agrees. They promise things like 'already having the perfect candidate' to get you to work with them. Then after 2 months the house is still not rented out. Questions are being dodged. They have all kinds of excuses, like 'it's not the right season now' (I would have liked to know this before I payed for the ad to be posted) and they also told me 'the add on Pararius is only valid for three months' which I now learned (by switching to another rental broker) is just not true. Also they lower the rental price 'to see if it helps' but then up it again just a few days later without telling because ‘it doesn’t work anyway’ and you get told to ‘give renters a reason why it should be higher or lower’ (?) while, and I cannot stress this enough, THEY set the price and give ‘advice’ on this matter. When you try to help to get the house rented out (because you start to feel like they are not capable) by posting the ad on Facebook groups of home seekers or re-write the text (because it was full of errors), you get remarks from them like 'nobody reads text anyway' and 'Facebook doesn't work'. Also, they like use the argument 'we have a lot of experience, so we know how it all works and by the way, we know everything'. Basically telling me to not interfere and let them do the job. Which is fine, if they were getting the job done... But no, nothing. After 3 months I was done giving them a change. They made me feel like I was not their client, instead they acted like they were my boss or something. I switched to another rental broker who told me totally different things, really listened, kept in touch, organized viewings within 2 days and... the house was rented out within 3 weeks, contract and moving in and all. Ps: Nice comment, Irina! It’s perfectly reflects the way you behave in real life > full of untruths and dodging the real point. Don’t fall for her sweet talk people, she promises things she can’t make true and then all of a sudden it’s everything’s and everyone’s fault, but never her own. Because she knows it all.

Start a life in a different country is not an easy task, but Irina and Alex makes everything in their power to help us in this adventure. They are always willing to provide detailed answers to our questions in a really impressive timeframe. Deal with rental agencies in the netherlands can be really difficult, and almost impossible to receive a proper attention, but with Orange Wonen I feel that they know that there is a life happening in the other side and that's why they will always be my first option if I need to rent or buy another apartment/house.

Irina: Not helpful at all. Worst experience an expat can have. Better talk with someone else. No job contract? You cannot have a place to live, EVEN if you offer to pay 3-6 months in advance (6 months is a min. rental period at many cases) Advance payment=YOU GET THE MONEY. Job contract=? Is it a guarantee? It can be, but a better guarantee than instant money? By the way: Advertisement is still active (after 1 month 10 days) despite of the fact "many people inquire". Also: advertisement is quite lack, had a lot of questions already... No real explanation for the refusal, kinda felt being DISCRIMINATED. Irina, "the truly professional", has lost and still has been losing trustworthy tenants. It is bad for the business ehh? Feeling for the landlord. I do hope you are recipient Irina, you've got a lot to learn regarding this occupation.

Irina had been a great help to us. In fact we found Orange Wonen when we (almost) lost hope to get a decent accommodation within the shortest period of time. Irina has been very prompt to our queries right from the initial appointment to the check in and even after check in she made sure we are finally settled.So this is not just a review for Orange Wonen but a token of appreciation to the wonderful person who made our lives a bit easier in Netherlands. Kudos to Orange Wonen

Irina was very responsive and helpful. She helped me secure a house really fast and also helped me setup various accounts. I really enjoyed working with her. I highly recommend their services.

I have a very good experience with Orange Wonen. Irina always responded quickly and friendly, and provided answers to all questions I had. It was not a problem to reschedule the day for transferring keys when my travel plans changed unexpectedly. Many thanks!

Is well known how difficult is to receive a non automatically reply from an estate agent when you are looking for a property in Amsterdam. However Orange Wonen immediatelly replied as soon as they received our inquiry about one of their listed property. Irina was the person to guide us through all the process and to support us to actually get the property from the landlord. We met them just when we were on the edge of losing our hopes of finding a property. We can not thank them enough . When the current contract will end we know that we should not be worry about it we have a real estate agent that will help us again to find the property that will fit us best.
