After months of searching, I finally found an apartment through HQ Housing. Philippe took care of everything: viewing, paperwork, lease, and key handover. Now I live in a beautiful house in Zeist, close to my daughters and within budget.
Philippe got me and my friends an apartment in 4 days. He was extremely professional, kind and went above and beyond to secure us the apartment.
Great help in every step. In three months I achieved my first home in the Netherlands.
Philippe is excellent in his field. He knows the realities of the market and the options to explore depending on our situation. He found me the perfect home for my children and me.
Philippe is one of the most supportive and dedicated mediators I have worked with. He not only managed to find a solution in a very challenging situation, but did so with patience and care throughout.
Complete the intake form and tell us about your budget, preferred neighbourhoods, timing and must-haves. It takes about ten minutes and gives us a clear picture of what you're looking for.
Within 24 hours we'll schedule a short introduction call. We'll discuss your situation, answer your questions and explain exactly how we can help.
Once you're ready to move forward, a €250 activation deposit opens your search. This allows us to prepare your profile, complete the onboarding process and actively start searching for suitable homes. The deposit is fully deducted from the final brokerage fee.
You provide the standard documents and we activate our network of landlords, agents and off-market contacts. From this point on, we're actively searching on your behalf.
As suitable homes become available, we'll arrange viewings and present the strongest opportunities. We don't just send listings — we tell you the good, the bad and the things we'd want to know ourselves.
Found a property you love? We'll prepare and submit your application, communicate with the landlord and position your profile as strongly as possible.
Great news. Once a landlord decides to move forward and offers you the tenancy, you've successfully secured a home through our mediation. At this stage, the brokerage fee becomes due. We'll guide you through the offer, explain the key terms and make sure you know exactly where you stand before moving forward.
We coordinate the final paperwork, assist with the lease process and help make your move-in as smooth as possible. The success fee is one month's rent excl. VAT, or 1.5 months' rent excl. VAT for a single applicant or couple relying on one or more guarantors, with a minimum fee of €1,250 excl. VAT. The €250 activation deposit is deducted from the final invoice.
HQ Housing works on a no cure, no pay basis. You only pay the brokerage fee when a landlord offers you a tenancy through our mediation. If we don't arrange a viewing opportunity within five weeks after activation, your €250 activation deposit can be refunded on request. No empty promises. No endless mailing lists. Just honest advice, strong applications and a team that genuinely wants to get you home.
Complete the purchase intake and tell us about your budget, preferred locations, property type, timeline and financing requirements. The clearer the brief, the more focused the search.
Before we start searching, you'll obtain independent mortgage advice. This establishes your borrowing capacity, monthly costs and realistic purchase budget. Don't have an advisor yet? We can introduce you to one.
Once an independent advisor confirms that financing appears realistic, a €750 activation deposit opens your purchase assignment. The deposit is deducted from the final brokerage fee.
We analyse the market, review opportunities and actively search through public listings, broker networks and off-market channels. Every opportunity comes with our honest opinion on value, risks and negotiation potential.
We arrange viewings, review available documentation and identify potential concerns before you commit. The goal isn't simply to buy a property. The goal is to buy the right property.
Found the right home? We prepare the offer, advise on bidding strategy and negotiate with the seller or selling agent to secure the best possible terms.
Congratulations. Once the seller accepts your offer, the property is secured and the purchase process officially begins. At this stage, 40% of the brokerage fee is invoiced.
We coordinate with mortgage advisors, banks, notaries and selling agents, keeping the transaction moving and making sure every party stays aligned.
Once financing has been approved and the transfer date has been confirmed, the remaining 60% of the brokerage fee becomes due, less the €750 activation deposit already paid.
We remain available through the final inspection, the notary appointment and the transfer of ownership. The assignment concludes once the keys are in your hand.
HQ Housing combines property search, negotiation and transaction management under one roof. You benefit from independent mortgage advice, professional negotiation support and guidance throughout the entire purchase process. No pressure. No sales tactics. Just experienced advice, honest feedback and a partner who sits on your side of the table.
Properties you'll never see on Funda.
Same person from first call to keys in hand.
EN · NL · FR · ES. 30%-ruling, BSN, residence permits, paperwork handled so you don't have to.
Our fee is only due once you secure a home. The €250 activation deposit is refunded if no viewing is arranged within five weeks.
My name is Philippe Kamoun. I was born and raised in North Holland and moved to Amsterdam with my parents at the age of eleven. There, my parents opened a restaurant on the Overtoom, in a building that would later become home to Bagels & Beans. Looking back, that move marked the beginning of my lifelong involvement in real estate.
From an early age, I worked hands-on in property renovations, learning practical skills such as plumbing, electrical work and plastering. As our family property portfolio expanded, I gradually became involved in tenant screening, lettings, property management and real estate transactions.
After beginning my professional career at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), I returned to the real estate sector, where I progressed through various roles including property administrator, controller and asset manager. During this period, I was involved in the administration, financial management and strategic oversight of large residential property portfolios, working with both national and international stakeholders.
Later, I founded M&L International, providing property management and advisory services to private and international clients. Over the years, I have gained experience across virtually every aspect of the real estate industry, including property management, acquisitions, lettings, asset management, development and real estate finance.
Today, after decades of experience in the sector, I founded HQ Housing. The company was created in response to the growing complexity of the Dutch housing market, where expats, international professionals, entrepreneurs and private buyers often struggle to navigate a highly competitive environment.
HQ Housing combines extensive market knowledge, a strong professional network and a highly personal approach. Whether you are looking to rent a home, purchase a property or explore financing opportunities, our objective is to guide you through the process efficiently, transparently and with genuine personal attention.
Unlike many traditional agencies, we focus on tailored solutions rather than standardised processes. Every client has a unique situation, every search has its own challenges, and every successful outcome starts with the right strategy.
At HQ Housing, we do not simply help people find a property. We help them secure the right home.
Mijn naam is Philippe Kamoun. Ik ben geboren en getogen in Noord-Holland en verhuisde op elfjarige leeftijd met mijn ouders naar Amsterdam. Daar openden mijn ouders een restaurant aan de Overtoom, in een pand waar later Bagels & Beans zou worden gevestigd. Terugkijkend markeerde die verhuizing het begin van mijn levenslange betrokkenheid bij onroerend goed.
Van jongs af aan werkte ik hands-on mee aan renovaties van panden, waarbij ik praktische vaardigheden leerde zoals loodgieterswerk, elektriciteitswerk en stukadoorswerk. Naarmate onze familieportefeuille groeide, raakte ik geleidelijk betrokken bij het screenen van huurders, verhuur, vastgoedbeheer en vastgoedtransacties.
Na het begin van mijn professionele carrière bij PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) keerde ik terug naar de vastgoedsector, waar ik verschillende functies bekleedde, waaronder vastgoedbeheerder, controller en vermogensbeheerder. In deze periode was ik betrokken bij de administratie, het financieel beheer en het strategisch toezicht op grote portefeuilles van residentieel vastgoed, waarbij ik samenwerkte met zowel nationale als internationale belanghebbenden.
Later richtte ik M&L International op, dat vastgoedbeheer en adviesdiensten verleent aan particuliere en internationale klanten. In de loop der jaren heb ik ervaring opgedaan in vrijwel elk aspect van de vastgoedsector, waaronder vastgoedbeheer, acquisities, verhuur, vermogensbeheer, ontwikkeling en vastgoedfinanciering.
Vandaag, na tientallen jaren ervaring in de sector, heb ik HQ Housing opgericht. Het bedrijf is ontstaan als antwoord op de toenemende complexiteit van de Nederlandse woningmarkt, waar expats, internationale professionals, ondernemers en particuliere kopers vaak moeite hebben om hun weg te vinden in een zeer competitieve omgeving.
HQ Housing combineert uitgebreide marktkennis, een sterk professioneel netwerk en een zeer persoonlijke aanpak. Of u nu op zoek bent naar een huurwoning, een woning wilt kopen of financieringsmogelijkheden wilt verkennen, ons doel is om u efficiënt, transparant en met oprechte persoonlijke aandacht door het proces te begeleiden.
In tegenstelling tot veel traditionele makelaars richten wij ons op oplossingen op maat in plaats van gestandaardiseerde processen. Elke klant heeft een unieke situatie, elke zoektocht kent zijn eigen uitdagingen en elk succesvol resultaat begint met de juiste strategie.
Bij HQ Housing helpen we mensen niet alleen bij het vinden van een woning. We helpen hen de juiste woning te vinden.
Je m'appelle Philippe Kamoun. Je suis né et j'ai grandi en Hollande-Septentrionale, puis j'ai déménagé à Amsterdam avec mes parents à l'âge de onze ans. Là-bas, mes parents ont ouvert un restaurant sur l'Overtoom, dans un bâtiment qui allait plus tard accueillir Bagels & Beans. Avec le recul, ce déménagement a marqué le début de mon engagement de longue date dans l'immobilier.
Dès mon plus jeune âge, j’ai participé activement à la rénovation de biens immobiliers, acquérant ainsi des compétences pratiques telles que la plomberie, l’électricité et le plâtrage. À mesure que le portefeuille immobilier de notre famille s’est agrandi, je me suis progressivement impliqué dans la sélection des locataires, la mise en location, la gestion immobilière et les transactions immobilières.
Après avoir débuté ma carrière professionnelle chez PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), je suis revenu dans le secteur immobilier, où j’ai occupé divers postes, notamment ceux d’administrateur immobilier, de contrôleur et de gestionnaire d’actifs. Au cours de cette période, j’ai participé à l’administration, à la gestion financière et à la supervision stratégique de vastes portefeuilles immobiliers résidentiels, en collaboration avec des parties prenantes tant nationales qu’internationales.
Par la suite, j’ai fondé M&L International, qui propose des services de gestion immobilière et de conseil à une clientèle privée et internationale. Au fil des ans, j’ai acquis de l’expérience dans pratiquement tous les aspects du secteur immobilier, notamment la gestion immobilière, les acquisitions, la location, la gestion d’actifs, la promotion immobilière et le financement immobilier.
Aujourd’hui, fort de plusieurs décennies d’expérience dans le secteur, j’ai fondé HQ Housing. La société a été créée pour répondre à la complexité croissante du marché immobilier néerlandais, où les expatriés, les professionnels internationaux, les entrepreneurs et les acheteurs privés ont souvent du mal à s’y retrouver dans un environnement hautement concurrentiel.
HQ Housing allie une connaissance approfondie du marché, un solide réseau professionnel et une approche hautement personnalisée. Que vous cherchiez à louer un logement, à acheter un bien immobilier ou à explorer des possibilités de financement, notre objectif est de vous guider tout au long du processus de manière efficace, transparente et avec une attention personnelle sincère.
Contrairement à de nombreuses agences traditionnelles, nous privilégions les solutions sur mesure plutôt que les processus standardisés. Chaque client a une situation unique, chaque recherche comporte ses propres défis, et chaque résultat positif commence par la bonne stratégie.
Chez HQ Housing, nous ne nous contentons pas d'aider les gens à trouver un bien immobilier. Nous les aidons à trouver le logement qui leur convient.
Me llamo Philippe Kamoun. Nací y crecí en Holanda Septentrional y me mudé a Ámsterdam con mis padres a los once años. Allí, mis padres abrieron un restaurante en la calle Overtoom, en un edificio que más tarde albergaría Bagels & Beans. Mirando atrás, ese traslado marcó el comienzo de mi dedicación de toda una vida al sector inmobiliario.
Desde muy joven, trabajé de forma activa en la renovación de inmuebles, adquiriendo habilidades prácticas como fontanería, electricidad y enlucido. A medida que nuestra cartera inmobiliaria familiar se ampliaba, fui implicándome progresivamente en la selección de inquilinos, los alquileres, la gestión de propiedades y las transacciones inmobiliarias.
Tras iniciar mi carrera profesional en PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), regresé al sector inmobiliario, donde fui ascendiendo a través de diversos puestos, entre ellos el de administrador de propiedades, controlador y gestor de activos. Durante este periodo, participé en la administración, la gestión financiera y la supervisión estratégica de grandes carteras de propiedades residenciales, trabajando con partes interesadas tanto nacionales como internacionales.
Más tarde, fundé M&L International, que ofrece servicios de gestión inmobiliaria y asesoramiento a clientes privados e internacionales. A lo largo de los años, he adquirido experiencia en prácticamente todos los aspectos del sector inmobiliario, incluyendo la gestión inmobiliaria, las adquisiciones, los alquileres, la gestión de activos, la promoción y la financiación inmobiliaria.
Hoy, tras décadas de experiencia en el sector, he fundado HQ Housing. La empresa se creó en respuesta a la creciente complejidad del mercado inmobiliario neerlandés, donde los expatriados, los profesionales internacionales, los emprendedores y los compradores particulares a menudo tienen dificultades para desenvolverse en un entorno altamente competitivo.
HQ Housing combina un amplio conocimiento del mercado, una sólida red profesional y un enfoque altamente personalizado. Tanto si busca alquilar una vivienda, comprar una propiedad o explorar oportunidades de financiación, nuestro objetivo es guiarle a lo largo del proceso de forma eficiente, transparente y con una atención personalizada genuina.
A diferencia de muchas agencias tradicionales, nos centramos en soluciones a medida en lugar de en procesos estandarizados. Cada cliente tiene una situación única, cada búsqueda tiene sus propios retos y cada resultado satisfactorio comienza con la estrategia adecuada.
En HQ Housing, no nos limitamos a ayudar a las personas a encontrar una propiedad. Les ayudamos a conseguir la vivienda adecuada.
House-hunting in the Netherlands can quietly take over your weeks. A single dedicated person, not a queue, not a bot, makes the search calm again. Here is what that looks like, and how the fee works.
A €250 activation deposit (excl. VAT) opens the search and is deducted in full from the final fee. Our brokerage fee is only due once you secure a home through us, and if no viewing is arranged within five weeks of activation, the deposit is refunded in full on request.
Budget, neighbourhoods, dealbreakers, lifestyle. The honest map of what you actually want, and what's realistic this quarter.
Hand-selected homes from public listings, off-market sources and our makelaar network. No spam, no listings you've already seen.
We schedule, attend (in person or via video), and report back honestly, including the things the makelaar won't tell you.
What to bid, when, with which conditions. We've placed 312+ winning offers in the Randstad, including against multiple counterbidders.
Every clause translated and explained. Diplomatic relocation clauses, opzegtermijn, service charges, flagged before you sign.
We're there for the inspection, the photos, the BSN registration, and the inevitable boiler that doesn't work on day two.
A €250 activation deposit opens the search; on a no cure, no pay basis the placement fee is invoiced only once your lease is signed. No hidden numbers, no extras at the notary.
A €250 activation deposit (excl. VAT) opens the search, covering onboarding, screening and profile preparation. Fully deducted from the final fee.
Our brokerage fee is only due once a home is secured through HQ Housing's mediation. No placement, no fee.
No viewing arranged within five weeks of activation? The €250 deposit is refunded in full on request.
Buying a home in the Netherlands is a layered transaction, mortgage, valuation, VvE documents, notary. Our fee mirrors the work: a modest upfront commitment opens the search, the rest is invoiced as the deal progresses. No flat-rate trickery, no surprise add-ons at the notary.
Shortlists built from our makelaar network, not Funda. Properties matched to your brief before the rest of the market sees them.
We make sure you have positive mortgage advice in hand before viewings start. Search anchored in what's actually realistic for you.
Comparable sales, valuation logic, financing-clause language. We draft the offer and run the negotiation with the selling agent on your side of the table.
We review the purchase agreement, coordinate the appraiser and VvE documents, and flag the lines worth flagging, before you sign.
We coordinate with the notary, support the final inspection, and stand with you at signing and key handover.
A €750 activation deposit, payable only after a positive mortgage assessment, opens the search. The remainder is invoiced in stages as the transaction progresses, so our incentives sit on your side of the table the whole way through. The brokerage fee is 1.25% of the purchase price (excl. VAT).
A €750 activation deposit (excl. VAT), payable only after a positive mortgage assessment. Fully deductible from the final fee.
40%, when your offer is accepted 60% (less the €750 deposit), on financing approval & confirmed transfer date
We bring mortgage advice, off-market shortlists and arranged viewings. The call on which home to take is yours, and only yours.
