Buying

We help you choose. Not buy for the sake of buying.

Onno's strategy at the kitchen table — bidding plan, structural survey, and the cold-feet check just before the notary. Viewings he attends, with or without you.

01 — What you get

A purchase with calm and guardrails.

  • 01

    A search profile that fits — not your wish list inflated. We trim what isn't needed.

  • 02

    Viewings Onno attends, with or without you. Useful when you still live in Singapore.

  • 03

    A bidding strategy on the kitchen table, with arguments we share up front.

  • 04

    A structural survey before you sign — not after.

  • 05

    Onno's 'not this one' button when an open house full of other buyers carries you away.

02

Purchase

Someone on your side of the table.

Six steps, 65 days on average. We search alongside you, negotiate coolly, and honestly say no when a property doesn't fit.

03 — What people ask

Plain answers.

What does buying-side representation cost at Nultien?
+
A fixed retainer plus a performance fee on what we save off the asking price. Concrete numbers after the intake — they depend on segment and complexity.
Do you only work in Rotterdam?
+
Mainly Rotterdam and the immediate ring. Beyond that — ask us; we're honest about whether we can do it well.
What if I'm not sure about a property?
+
We're not sure with you. Onno says 'don't' more often than you'd expect — that's part of the fee.
How fast can Onno view?
+
Almost always within 48 hours. For tight deals sometimes same-day.
