If you want to buy a house in Amsterdam, just follow these steps:

1. Make a wish list; what requirements do you have for your home, where in Amsterdam do you want to live, what‘s is important to with regard to the house and its surroundings?
2. Discuss your wish list with your buying agent and refine it on the basis of their questions and what comes up for you in the discussion. This will result in your ultimate wish list for where and how you want to live in Amsterdam.

6. Meanwhile, your buying agent will have the required information at their fingertips, including the structural condition of the property. This will help you decide whether you want to buy the house and what offer you’d want to put in. Naturally, your buying agent will be on your side every step of the way.
