Expat Real Estate Agent Netherlands – About Homes for Expats

Homes for Expats began as a passion project, inspired by my own journey as an international relocating to the Netherlands.

I’m Cherene Kruger, a makelaar specialising in purchasing and selling homes in the Netherlands. I started this company with a simple yet heartfelt mission: to help people like me find not just a house, but a home. Explore our full range of services, read our client reviews and FAQs, or browse the homes we have for sale.

I know firsthand how daunting it can be to navigate the housing market in a new country. The challenges, the uncertainty, it’s a lot to take on alone. That’s why I created Homes for Expats: to offer support, guidance, and expertise from someone who truly understands what it’s like to start fresh in a foreign place. Our team covers most of the Netherlands, including expat housing in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
