What does a purchasing agent do?
Buying a house is exciting, especially if it is your first time. A purchasing agent will help you through the entire process: from finding a suitable home to checking the purchase contract. You can decide for yourself when you want to use the help of a purchasing agent.
When do you use a purchasing agent?You can use a purchasing agent in various ways:
- Help with the search
A purchasing agent knows the housing market like no other and often already knows which houses will soon be on funda. This gives you a head start. In addition, an agent will look at your housing needs with a fresh perspective and can point out possibilities that you may not have thought of yourself. Sometimes an estate agent can also help you set realistic expectations, so that you can search more specifically and avoid disappointments. - Guidance during viewings
During a viewing, a purchasing agent looks at a home slightly differently than you do. He or she pays attention to structural aspects, possible defects and the value of the house in the current market. In addition, hiring a purchasing agent makes you a more serious candidate with sellers, which can increase your chances if there are multiple interested parties. - Advice and support
Are you unsure about the neighborhood, the negotiations or the small print in the purchase contract? A purchasing agent can help you with expert advice, so that you make well-considered choices. - Negotiating the price
Negotiating can be exciting, especially if you have a lot of competition. A purchasing agent knows the market and ensures that you do not pay too much. Because he or she can negotiate without emotion, he or she can often close a better deal than if you do it yourself. - Guidance during the entire purchasing process
Would you like to outsource the entire process? That is also possible! From finding a home to handing over the keys: a purchasing agent will arrange everything for you.
Please note: not every agent offers the same services. So always ask carefully what is possible.
When the negotiations have been completed and the seller has officially agreed, the settlement phase begins. We, as Seven Makelaardij, make agreements with the bank or mortgage advisor about a favorable mortgage and look for a notary to draw up the formal transfer deed and mortgage deed. We can help you find a suitable appraiser, construction engineer if desired, notary and financial advisor.
We then support you with:
- Checking the provisional purchase deed
- Preparing the transfer (documents from the notary)
- Inspecting the home for transport
- Handing over the keys

The benefits of a purchasing agent
Why a purchasing agent is of added value
Buying a home is a big and often complex step. A purchasing agent helps you find a home that fits within your budget and represents your interests towards the seller. In addition, with a purchasing agent you are often more quickly informed of new offers and you are in a stronger position during viewings and negotiations.
Are you unsure whether you should hire a purchasing agent? Remember that a house is one of the biggest purchases in your life. Decisions often have to be made quickly, and it is nice if someone looks with you, advises you and ensures that you achieve the best result.
1. Objective and expert advice
A house can look perfect at first glance, but have hidden defects or legal complications. A purchasing agent looks objectively and assesses whether a home is really a good choice, based on facts and market knowledge.
2. Find a suitable home faster
A purchasing agent helps you set realistic search criteria, so that you search efficiently and waste less time on homes that are not feasible. This prevents disappointments and speeds up your search.
3. Access to new housing supply
Thanks to his network, a purchasing agent often knows sooner which homes are for sale. This allows you to respond more quickly and plan a viewing, which is a major advantage in a tight housing market.
4. Make smart and strategic offers
A purchasing agent has insight into transaction prices and market developments. He or she helps you make a realistic and strategic offer, including any conditions that can strengthen your negotiating position. In addition, he or she conducts the negotiations for you, without emotional involvement.
5. Fulfilling your research obligation
As a buyer, you are responsible for researching the property yourself. Think about the structural condition, legal obligations and possible construction plans in the area. A purchasing agent takes on this task and ensures that you are well informed.
6. Your interests are protected
The sales agent works in the interest of the seller and tries to get the highest price. A purchasing agent, on the other hand, stands up for your interests and ensures that you do not pay too much and buy under the best conditions.
7. Reliability for the seller
With a purchasing agent, you come across as a serious buyer. This can strengthen your position during viewings and bids, because the seller knows that you are well prepared and financially checked.
8. Less paperwork and stress
Buying a house involves a lot of administrative work, such as checking the deed of sale, arranging a valuation and notary, and monitoring deadlines. A purchasing agent takes this off your hands and ensures that everything runs smoothly.
9. Insight into your rights and obligations
If something goes wrong in the process, such as a seller who withdraws after a verbal agreement or hidden defects after the transfer, a purchasing agent knows exactly what your rights and obligations are and he or she will help you with the next steps.
Conclusion: why choose a purchasing agent?
A purchasing agent offers expert guidance, increases your chances of a successful purchase and prevents you from overlooking important matters. Whether you need guidance during viewings, negotiations or the entire purchasing process, a purchasing agent ensures that you make the right choices and buy your new home with confidence.

During the final inspection, you will view the property for the last time before it officially becomes your home. Because you will then sign for the transfer.
