“Our family of six couldn’t be more thankful that we had Great Expatation to help us navigate through the competitive housing market in Amsterdam. They did an excellent job coordinating our conversations with a 7hr time difference between us. They were very responsive and detailed oriented. The walk through videos were so helpful that when we arrived it felt as though we’d been there already. We absolutely love our place and our neighborhood. They provided guidance and insight that proved to be invaluable. Thank you Great Expatation!”

“Moving from the US to Amsterdam was an exciting yet daunting prospect for our family, and we couldn't have been more grateful to have Great Expatation’s exceptional expertise and support throughout the entire process. Their dedication, responsiveness, and extensive knowledge truly made our transition seamless and enjoyable.
From our very first interaction, they stood out as a beacon of efficiency and friendliness. Her swift responses to emails and texts were not only reassuring but also demonstrated her commitment to making our relocation as smooth as possible. What truly set Great Expatation apart was their proactive approach – they didn't wait for us to ask questions; instead, she proactively provided information, guidance, and solutions.”

One of the most remarkable aspects of Great Expatation service was their assistance in finding our ideal apartment. Even before we arrived in Amsterdam, they conducted video tours of various properties and engaged in insightful discussions about different neighborhoods. As a result, when we finally moved, we felt like we were already familiar with the city's landscape. We fell in love with our apartment and its location, and it wouldn't have been possible without Great Expatation’s meticulous efforts.
Great Expatation’s negotiation skills shone through when she secured an excellent indefinite contract for our apartment.
Their attention to detail and dedication to getting the best possible terms for us were truly commendable. They went above and beyond by helping us coordinate furniture delivery services (as we did not have a dutch phone number yet), relieving us of additional stress during our settling-in period.
Education was another area where Wendy's expertise made a significant impact. They skillfully guided us through the process of enrolling our children in school, ensuring a smooth transition for them as well. Their advice was invaluable and greatly eased our concerns about this critical aspect of our move.
What truly speaks volumes about Great Expatation’s outstanding service is the fact that we wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone considering relocation. In fact, when our friends embarked on their own journey to Amsterdam, our immediate suggestion was to seek Great Expatation’s assistance. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for her clients are qualities that are not only rare but also invaluable.
In sum, our experience with Great Expatation as our expat relocation partner was nothing short of exceptional. Her unwavering commitment to our well-being, her quick responses, her ability to find the perfect apartment, negotiate favorable terms, and provide ongoing support exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're planning a move to Amsterdam, Great Expatation is undoubtedly the person you want by your side.

“They helped my wife and I remotely find an apartment for rent in Amsterdam.
They immediately made a fantastic impression on us, patiently explaining everything we needed to know with a big smile.
We had very high standards in our apartment search, complicated by time constraints and us having a pet, and they were extremely accommodating throughout the whole process, both sending us relevant options and checking out ones we found ourselves. They also shared a lot of useful insights on different neighborhoods and Dutch standards.
At the end they helped us rent a beautiful apartment in a perfect location and even gave us a very nice housewarming gift.
I highly recommend them, they are a true professionals!”

“I am so glad I contacted and appointed them to look for my new place in Amsterdam.
After I explained my situation and we went through my requirements, they were able to find my new studio within few days and 2 inspections only.
They are a reliable and great professional, highly expert and confident in this complex field. Throughout the whole process, the communication has been always smooth and very prompt and they has also provided me with very useful insights and tips. If you are looking for your next place, I really recommend to contact them.”

“Amsterdam can be a tough place when it comes to finding the right property for yourself. I struggled to find a suitable place for more than two months. However, when I got in contact with her; they assured me that they would deliver which may seem too good to be true considering the property market of Amsterdam. But, rest assured, they didn’t fail to surprise me and they definitely delivered. They found me a house which was better than I expected. Her expertise, market knowledge, and dedication to her work is worthy to be noted and to the point till they are the first recommendation I provide to my close friends and due to her reliability.
Moreover, they ensured that the house search process is smooth from start to the end i.e. search, contract signing and moving in, they have it all covered! I would definitely recommend Great Expatation for anyone seeking to find a good property based on their preferences! Do yourself a favour and get in contact with her for your next property!”
“I reached out to them for help as I needed to find an apartment on very short notice following my expeditious relocation to Amsterdam. They took the reins of the situation very rapidly : they provided a wide range of listings, booked the appointments for the shortlisted options and accompanied me during the visits. Not only did they manage to find a great apartment in record time (5 days), they also helped me negotiate a discount on the monthly rent ! After I moved in, they even took care of my energy and water contracts :)
I would recommend her eyes closed.”

“If you want a smooth transition to Amsterdam - they are the help you need! I moved to Amsterdam as an expat without much knowledge of the rental market. I can without a doubt say that they helped my transition to Amsterdam be a lot easier.
I found the rental market to be very confusing, with a lot of scammers, and rental agencies putting up crazy requirements for tenants. With their help, I succeeded in getting the apartment that was my first priority. If I didn't have their help, I'm sure the rental agency never would have considered me as a tenant.
Besides helping me with getting the apartment, they have also been a good help when I had any practical questions about my move. They have also been my contact with the rental agency and has helped me with any issue with the apartment.
I can highly recommend them!”
“Do yourself a favor and hire them. Before they started helping me find me an apartment in Amsterdam, I had applied to over 10 apartments and used several real estate websites with no luck. They were incredibly helpful, diligent, assertive, and efficient in helping me find a home that met all my requirements. And everything within 2 weeks of hiring her!
It was so easy to work with her. The communication was quick and easy even though we were in different continents, 8 hours apart.
I know for a fact that if they hadn't helped me, I wouldn't even have been considered for the apartment I got (being an international student is tough) and would probably still be looking. Oh, and not to mention her amazing patience in answering all my questions. They are wonderful! I recommend them 10000%!”

“Upon arriving in the Netherlands, the housing search was very overwhelming and we couldn't seem to get our foot in the door for any listings. Great Expatation changed all of that ! They were super helpful in all aspects, extremely organised and efficient in organising viewings as well as finding listings that suit your needs. I cannot recommend her highly enough and you will be so happy with what they can do !!
from a super happy client.”

“Having already lived in Amsterdam for a year, my girlfriend and I thought we were prepared for the challenge of finding a new place to live together. We thought wrong, and really didn't have any hope of finding a new place, until contacting them. We were looking for a place for about 2 months (with no results) before we gave her a call, and in just over a week after talking to her we signed the rental contract for our new place in Amsterdam.
Quick communication, fast responses, efficient outcomes.
I know this is sounding like an infomercial, but there was absolutely nothing negative about our experience with them. Highly recommended!”

“I thought will be mission impossible to find a cozy place for myself in Amsterdam. But suddenly they fall from the sky like a guardian angel. I have so much to thank her. If it wasn't because of her I'm sure I will still be looking for a place. They are sweet, caring and very professional and a hard working woman. They got me a house, a home and I will be eternally grateful to her. I highly recommend her to everyone. They is just the best!”

“The Netherlands is a great place but finding the right accommodation is competitive and difficult. Once went to a viewing with 12 other candidates. If like me you are short on time and not fully aware of where to find the best places to live then you need Great Expatation and in particular their services.
They were able to find me properties which were not easy to find on your general property websites. With their help the process of viewing apartments and eventually finding a great place in Haarlem made it allot easier.
The one criticism I have is .......there is none!
Truly a 5-star service. Just what people moving to a new country need. Thanks!”
