Independent mortgage advice & support for expats

If you are buying a home in the Netherlands, you might quickly notice that things work differently here than in your home country. With more than 40 mortgage lenders — far more than in most other countries — it can feel like too many choices. That’s where OHAO’s mortgage brokerage and advice come in.

We work with top Dutch banks and more, including Rabobank, ING, ABN AMRO, Lloyds, Obvion, and others. This allows us to compare multiple options and help you secure the best rate, lower monthly payments, and the right conditions.

We also do more than arrange your mortgage. The OHAO team can connect you with a trusted real estate agent (makelaar), who is essential in today’s competitive housing market. A good agent helps you find the right home and negotiates on your behalf.

Throughout the entire process, we guide you step by step. We explain how Dutch mortgages and the homebuying journey work, answer your questions, and ensure you feel confident at every stage.

As a first-time buyer, you are fully supported — from the first call until the moment you hold the keys to your new home.

  • English-speaking expat mortgage advice
  • Competitive advisory fee: €2,495 (tax-deductible)
  • Clear, fast, and personal guidance

Bart was the first financial advisor we contacted on a friend’s recommendation, and right after our initial orientation, we knew we didn't need to look any further. ​Now that we have successfully purchased our first home, we can’t thank Bart enough for the huge role he played in making it happen. As first-time buyers, the process can feel overwhelming, but Bart was a true professional from start to finish. He explained every single step with great clarity, evaluated our documents promptly, and patiently answered our endless stream of questions. His proactive support during the bidding phase also made a massive difference. Bottom line, he possess excellent knowledge about his work. ​A sincere thank you to Bart, we couldn't have asked for a better advisor and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

Excellent service from start to finish. Friendly, responsive, and always willing to help. All required paperwork was handled on time, and any questions were answered quickly by email. I particularly appreciated the extra effort in checking and assisting with documents beyond the agreed scope. His support made the whole mortgage process clear and stress-free. Highly recommended!

A fantastic service from Toni and the whole team at OHAO. I would strongly recommend them. As first-time buyers, we had a lot of questions and a slightly complex mortgage application, but Toni guided us through the process brilliantly. Everything was communicated clearly and in a timely manner, and he was always quick to respond and happy to explain things. We were recommended OHAO by a colleague who had a great experience with them, and we’re very happy we followed their recommendation. Excellent service from start to finish!

Very satisfied with my experience with OHAO. From the very first conversation with Toni van der Flier, everything was explained clearly, and I felt well guided throughout the entire mortgage process. Communication was pleasant and straightforward, questions were answered quickly, and I always knew where things stood. During Toni’s absence, Bart Kooijman took over my case, and that transition also went very smoothly. I’m very happy with the support I received from both Toni and Bart, and I would definitely recommend OHAO to colleagues, friends, and family.

I would like to express my appreciation for the excellent service I received from OHAO during my renovation mortgage application. This was the second time I used OHAO’s advisory services for a mortgage application. The process was quite challenging, and it is difficult to fully describe the complexity of the application in a review. However, thanks to the expertise, dedication, and professionalism of my advisor, Bart, I was able to successfully obtain the mortgage. In fact, the outcome exceeded my expectations. I am extremely grateful for the guidance and support provided throughout the entire process. Millions of thanks to Bart and the OHAO team for the outstanding service and commitment to their customers.

This is the second time I have used OHAO for my mortgage needs, and once again I had an excellent experience working with Luc. Luc is highly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about finding the best solution for his clients. Throughout the entire process, he provided clear and honest advice, kept me informed at every step, and was always available via email or call whenever I had questions. His responses were always quick, and he made what can be a complicated process feel straightforward and stress-free. What I appreciate most is that Luc takes the time to explain everything in detail and ensures you fully understand your options before making any decisions. His expertise, reliability, and dedication gave me confidence from start to finish. I would highly recommend Luc and the OHAO team to anyone looking for mortgage advice. Their service is professional, efficient, and customer-focused. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again in the future.
