Estate agencies abroad: welcome on VrijVerkocht
VrijVerkocht is a Dutch property platform. In the Netherlands, only owners sell their own homes here. For properties abroad, local agencies are welcome, and you keep working the way you always do: your viewings, your contracts, your notary.

Maybe you wonder why a platform where Dutch owners sell without an agent welcomes agencies abroad. That is a deliberate choice, and the two go hand in hand.
- In the Netherlands: owners only.Selling a home yourself works well there: one language, one standard contract, a notary who checks everything. Owners pay a fixed € 750 ex VAT instead of a commission that rises with the price.
- Abroad: together with local agencies.A Dutch buyer in France, Italy or Greece deals with a different language, different laws and a different buying process. There your local knowledge is exactly what they need, so almost every home abroad is sold through an agency, and that is how we want it.
- The same fair rules on both tracks.No paid positions, a fair order that changes every day, honest information and contact through the platform.

At a glance
| What does it cost to show my properties? | Nothing. No subscription, no listing fee, no paid positions. |
|---|---|
| When do I pay? | Only when a buyer who came through VrijVerkocht buys a property within 12 months of their first message: a fixed € 500 ex VAT per completed sale. We invoice after the deed has been signed. |
| I saw € 750 on your site. Does that apply to me? | No. The € 750 is for private owners who sell their own home without an agent. Agencies pay € 500 ex VAT per completed sale, and nothing else. |
| Do I have to change how I work? | No. Viewings, offers, the contract and the notary all go the way they usually do in your country. Buyers make offers with you, not on our platform. |
| How do my properties get on the site? | Through the XML feed you already have (Kyero v3 preferred). We read it every night: new properties appear, prices are updated and sold properties go offline. |
| How do buyers reach me? | A buyer asks a question on the platform; you receive it by e-mail straight away and reply on your own messages page, without an account. Messages are translated automatically. |
| Can I stop? | Yes, whenever you like. Let us know and we take your properties off the site. |
| Is it exclusive? | No. You choose which properties you show, and you are free to use other portals. |
