Rental Agent
Terms
Renting out your home can be on a temporary basis, for example when your house is for sale or you are staying abroad for a period, or for a longer or even indefinite term. There are many things to consider, such as the rental price, the reliability of your tenants, facilitating viewings, and the legal aspects of drafting a lease agreement. By using a rental agent, you save yourself a lot of time, effort, and worries.
The duties of a rental agent
We believe it’s important that you rent out your house to a reliable tenant you can trust. That’s why we screen rental candidates who apply based on:
- Thorough background checks: This checks whether tenants have a criminal record or a history of eviction, and if there are any other risk factors.
- Identity verification.
- Credit checks: To determine if the rental candidates have enough financial means to rent your property.
Once you’ve found the right tenants, the next step is to determine the rental price, and the rental agent can also assist you with this. This can be a challenging process, as you want to charge enough to cover your expenses and make a profit, but not so much that it becomes unaffordable or unattractive to tenants. Because our rental agents have knowledge of the local rental market, they can assist you with this.

The benefits of a rental agent
When you engage a rental agent, it comes with several advantages. In addition to the aforementioned tasks that you benefit from, here are some additional perks:
- Find tenants faster: With a broad national and international network comprising house seekers, housing websites, and organizations, you can quickly find a tenant who fits the image you have in mind. For example, we are a partner of the International Welcome Center Utrecht Region, making it easy for us to match expats with houses that are temporarily available.
- Professional imagery: Photos often speak more than a thousand words. Good quality photos speak even louder. Our experts understand how to best highlight the strong points of your property and put them in the spotlight. This way, tenants are much more quickly convinced of the value of your property.
- Documentation: We assist you in drafting the lease agreement and handling the paperwork. Additionally, our rental agents have extensive experience and knowledge of the rental market and laws and regulations, enabling us to help you make the right decisions. With this knowledge, we can draft legally binding lease agreements that meet both your requirements and wishes, as well as legal standards.
- Financial and technical management: If desired, we can take care of rent collection during the rental of your property, as well as arranging repairs, maintenance, and resolving any issues with the tenants. This could be a good option, for example, if you are abroad for an extended period and do not want to deal with these matters. Regardless of the circumstances, this is always an option with us.
In short, if you are looking for a rental agent to assist you in renting out your property in Central Netherlands, such as in Utrecht, Amersfoort, or Rotterdam, feel free to contact us.
