The market

The Dutch real estate market today

Dutch homeowners search for a "makelaar" in their city or neighbourhood and often request a free valuation ("gratis waardebepaling") before choosing. Funda dominates buyer traffic, so agents grow by winning sellers and landlords directly. Rental management and purchase guidance for buyers ("aankoopmakelaar") are strong additional services in tight housing markets.

Marketing & Lead Expert is a marketing and lead-generation partner for real estate agencies. We don't do real estate work ourselves. We build and run the channels that bring enquiries straight to you, and we only work with one real estate agency per service area.

The problem

Why leads are inconsistent

  • Portal leads are shared with every agency in the area, and portal fees keep rising.
  • Seller and landlord leads are worth far more than buyer enquiries, but most marketing attracts buyers.
  • Agents spend hours on enquiries that were never going to list, buy or rent.

Many real estate agencies also lean on Werkspot, Homedeal and comparison sites such as Offerte.nl. Those leads are often shared and get more expensive every year. We move your pipeline towards enquiries that come directly to you.

High-value real estate jobs we help you win

We build pages and campaigns for the work that pays best, not the small jobs that fill the diary.

  • Free valuations and sales mandates
  • Purchase guidance (aankoopmakelaar)
  • Rental and property management
  • New-build project sales
  • Commercial property
  • Valuation reports (taxaties)

Our real estate marketing services in the Netherlands

Six channels, each set up around job value and tracked to booked work.

All Services

Real Estate SEO

We build pages for the services and suburbs that win listings: property appraisals, selling, property management, and local market reports. Each suburb or community page uses real sales data, recent listings and local knowledge, which is what ranks and what persuades owners to call.

SEO service

Local SEO & Google Maps

We optimise your agency and agent profiles on Google Business Profile, build reviews from sellers and landlords that mention the suburb and result, and keep your details consistent across property directories in the Netherlands.

Local SEO service

Google Ads

Search campaigns target seller and landlord intent ("what is my property worth", "property management near me") with appraisal landing pages. Separate campaigns handle buyer enquiries and new projects, and every ad follows the property advertising rules in your market. All keywords, ad copy and landing pages are written in Dutch for Dutch searchers.

Google Ads service

Website & conversion

We add instant appraisal requests, recent sales, agent profiles, suburb reports and clear calls to action for selling, buying and renting, so each visitor type finds the right path in one click.

Website & CRO service

AI search visibility

We publish clear, data-backed answers on local prices, days on market, rental yields and the selling process, so AI assistants cite your agency when owners and buyers ask about your area in the Netherlands.

AI search service

Follow-up & remarketing

Appraisal requests that do not list straight away get a nurture sequence with market updates and recent results, and past clients receive anniversary valuations and referral prompts.

Follow-up service

Search demand

Searches we help you win

Each search theme and its long-tail variations is mapped to a dedicated page or ad group, so the right page shows for the right search.

Local context

How customers search here

Most Dutch homeowners search in Dutch, so while this page explains our services in English, the campaigns, landing pages and keywords we run for your business are built in Dutch for Dutch buyers. The energy transition, solar, heat pumps, insulation and batteries, is reshaping demand across the market.

Licensing, trust and compliance

Membership of NVM, VBO or Vastgoedpro and certified valuers are strong trust signals, and advertising must follow Dutch consumer rules. All keywords, ads and pages are written in Dutch for Dutch searchers.

All tracking and lead capture is configured to comply with the GDPR (AVG) and Dutch cookie rules, with consent mode set up in Google Ads and Analytics.

Real Estate · Netherlands

Realty

An agency with 8 sales agents in Rotterdam, selling and leasing homes across the wider Rotterdam area. Most seller leads came from Funda and referrals, so the agency was competing with every other agent for the same vendors. The goal was to win more vendor appraisals directly, cut dependence on portal lead products and turn more appraisals into signed listings.
