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.

Bart was an amazing advisor; especially, given my situation as an American expat. He made it clear on what the process would be, documentation, and even guided me through some portions to help me understand how to best approach the Dutch home buying process. Overall, I would recommend anyone to work with OHAO and Bart as he will take good care of you.
