Who I am

Hi, I'm Julie 👋

Based in Amsterdam, I know the local rental market well: high demand, demanding application files, processes in Dutch, and sometimes questionable listings.

I help French expats moving to the Netherlands with their housing search: shortlisting suitable properties, organising viewings, connecting you with agencies and landlords, and supporting you through to the lease signature.

My approach: a human, transparent and personalised service. I'm not an agency — I'm your local ally, the one who answers your messages in the evening, visits flats on your behalf, and keeps you away from the pitfalls.

💬
Always in your language

You understand every step, every clause, every conversation — in French or English.

🤝
A relationship of trust

I work with a limited number of clients at a time, so I stay available and fully invested.

🏘️
Local know-how

Neighbourhoods, transport, student or young-professional life: I guide you the way a local friend would.

My services

A tailor-made service, at every step

Whether you're moving on your own, as a couple, into a flat-share or for your studies, I adapt to your situation, your budget and your vision for life in the Netherlands.

How it works

My method in 5 clear steps

A structured, transparent process — so you always know where we stand.

  1. 1

    The discovery call

    15 minutes on the phone, free and with no commitment. We get to know each other, you tell me about your project, and I explain how I can help.

  2. 2

    The detailed brief

    We dive into your criteria: budget, neighbourhood, type of home, flat-share or whole place… I also share my insights on the current Amsterdam market.

  3. 3

    The active hunt

    I scan the market every day, activate my network of agents and landlords, shortlist the best options and visit them for you (with video and debrief).

  4. 4

    All the way to signing

    Once we find the right home, I put you in touch with the landlord or agency and accompany you through to the lease signature. I review the lease with you in French (or English) so no clause goes unnoticed.

  5. 5

    The handover

    If you wish, I can pick up the keys for you. The inventory check normally stays in your hands — unless you specifically ask for my presence. I then remain available in the days and weeks that follow to answer any questions about settling in.

Why entrust me with your search

Amsterdam's market is unique. So is my approach.

Reactivity

In Amsterdam, a good apartment is gone within 24–48 hours. I'm on the ground, ready to visit the same day.

🛡️

Safety

Scams with fake landlords are common. I verify every listing and every contact before you commit to anything.

🌷

Local expertise

Jordaan, De Pijp, Oud-Zuid, Amstelveen… Each neighbourhood has its own vibe. I guide you to the one that fits your life.

🗣️

No language barrier

With you, we communicate in French. With Amsterdam's agencies, I work in English — the standard working language of the local real estate market.

💛

Human approach

I take on a limited number of clients at a time. You're not a file, you're a person I'm assisting.

📋

Full transparency

Clear pricing, no hidden commission. You always know where you stand in the process.

They trusted me

What my clients say

“We contacted Julie from Paris when our long-distance search was getting discouraging. She quickly found us a beautiful 3-room apartment in the Jordaan, within our budget. A rare gem.”
Camille & Pierre Family of 4 · Paris → Amsterdam
“I arrived in Amsterdam for a new job, not speaking a word of Dutch. Julie handled everything: video viewings, negotiation, lease reviewed in French. I couldn't have wished for better.”
Léa Solo expat · Bordeaux → Amsterdam
“Professional and warm service. Julie knows Amsterdam inside out and pointed us towards Amstelveen, a neighbourhood we'd never have looked at on our own. Perfect for the kids.”
Sophie & Thomas Family of 5 · Toulouse → Amstelveen

Your questions

The questions I get most often

Can't find your answer? Drop me a line — I reply within 24h.

How long does it take to find a home in Amsterdam?

On average, my clients find their home in 4 to 6 weeks. It depends on your criteria, your flexibility and the market at that moment. I give you a realistic estimate from our very first call.

Can I run the search from abroad, remotely?

Yes, absolutely! Most of my clients start the search from outside the Netherlands. I visit places for you, send detailed videos, and it's completely possible to sign the lease remotely.

What are your fees?

My fees depend on the formula chosen and the complexity of your search. I work on a flat fee, not on commission: you know up front what you'll pay. A personalised, free quote is given after our discovery call.

Do you only work in Amsterdam?

My core expertise is Amsterdam and its surroundings (Amstelveen, Haarlem, Zaandam, Diemen…). For other Dutch cities, get in touch — I can either help directly or refer you to a trusted colleague.

What if you don't find me a home?

Part of my fee is tied to the actual lease signing. You only pay the full service once you have the keys. Transparency is at the heart of how I work.

How do you handle the Dutch language?

In Amsterdam, English is the working language of every real estate agency and most landlords — the market is very international. So I negotiate with them in English, while you and I communicate in French. For the rare official documents written in Dutch, I rely on professional translation tools and my local network to ensure accurate understanding.
