Buying our first house felt like a huge step and quite intimidating. We went with Viisi for our mortgage and insurance because a friend (also an expat) had a great experience with them. This turned out to be a fantastic decision. Niels was incredible. We had a lot of questions - the kind that makes you worry you're being a bit much. But Niels took it all in stride. He wasn't just patient; he ensured we really understood everything about mortgages and insurance, providing a huge relief. What really made a difference was how Niels managed to simplify all the complicated stuff, ensuring we felt comfortable with our choices. Beyond just the mortgage, he helped us find the right life and homeowner's insurance that fit our situation perfectly. Having him guide us through each step with clear and straightforward answers was incredibly reassuring. For anyone feeling overwhelmed by the idea of buying a house, especially expats, turning to Niels and Viisi is a great choice. We always felt in good hands, never stressed about asking too many questions, and ended up super confident in our decisions. A big thanks to Niels and the team! read more

Overall I had quite a good experience while arranging a mortgage, especially considering the complicated contractual situation I was in. Timely responses, clear explanations, kind people. Every phone meeting was followed by a detailed, yet to-the-point summary of what has been agreed and what was left to do. Also, a very helpful and well-organized website. read more

My partner and I contacted VIISI as our mortgage advisor because one of my friends in Amsterdam advised us to do so, as he had worked with them before. Our experience was very positive, as they are very professional and also super helpful with their presentation of what the process of buying a place in the Netherlands may involve. We had Niels Lengers directly helping us, and we were super happy with him and how helpful he was during the entire process. We found the company very transparent and honest with us in terms of what to expect and what not to expect during this process. As someone who is not originally from the Netherlands, VIISI paid special attention to this aspect during the consultation and took it into consideration. Everything was done in English and translated into English when needed, and Niels always replied to our questions on time. And I would like to add that the price matched their professionalism and quality so we totally recommend it. read more

I had a call with one of their advisers and they are friendly, open, have a lot of good information regarding mortgages for houses to leave in, first call free of charge, they act as intermediary if you choose to go with them so they take care of discussions with the bank/financial institution who'll provide your mortgage. Also the fact they assign you a person whom you can contact all the time you have questions is good. They have details you might not think of, give you more choices than a bank gives you. I was very pleased. As a minor negative note, if you are interested to make a mortgage for the purpose to rent out (as investment) they are not specialized in this, so you might want to look somewhere else for details of that. They have knowledge also about that but since they specialize in mortgages not for the purpose of investment you'd get more details regarding this field somewhere else. read more

My boyfriend and I cannot recommend Viisi highly enough! We worked with Deni Nozic, who was fantastic and also particularly knowledgeable in guiding my boyfriend through the mortgage application process as an entrepreneur. Deni was super responsive, helpful and detailed in answering all of our questions. We particularly enjoyed how Viisi "demystified" the house buying process through a neat infographic and timeline. As an expat, I can say with full confidence that language was never a barrier in our cooperation with Viisi and on the contrary, I got the much needed explanations I needed in this (some may say) hectic process. All in all, if you're looking for a mortgage partner in buying your home, look no further :) P.S. We're now happy home owners! read more

The whole experience in general was very, very good. perfect communication, being responsive all the time and explaining everything in the simplest ways made my experience perfect overall. I didn't have to worry about waiting or dealing with any extra problems thanks to them. Their systems are very easy to understand, digital, and well planned. Niels helped me and explained everything to me very easily, so it made me more confident about the service that I was getting. I would definitely suggest their services. They made progress so good, in the end, I don't have to stress about most of the things. Thank you so much Niels and the whole team for their help! read more

This is not the time I reached out to Viisi for financial advice. Arjen had helped me enormously, back when I purchased my apartment in Amsterdam and given this positive experience, I contacted Viisi again for advice regarding the possibility of refinancing my mortgage. The Viisi team was very prompt in their communication and even took the extra mile to book an appointment earlier than the first available time slot, just to accommodate the relative urgency of my case. Hendrik is very friendly, a good communicator and knowledgable and his perspective on my situation removed any ambiguity I had, with regards to the best course of action. read more

I am first time Expat house buyer in the Netherlands and used Viisi as financial adviser for the mortgage agreement. I couldn't be happier with the support and advice I have received. Viisi staff is young, knowledgeable and energetic. Over several year, while looking for the right property, Viisi responded to any question I would have in a very timely manner. They dealt with all relevant financial aspects during the purchase period, providing different options and talking me through the process step by step. I felt well taken care off and would recommend Viisi any time. read more

I had a great experience working with Niels Lengers from Viisi as my hypotheek advisor. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. Niels guided me smoothly through the entire mortgage application process and helped secure a very competitive rate. He was proactive in explaining every step and made what could have been a stressful process feel clear and well-organized. On top of that, he also gave valuable advice on the necessary insurances, which was very helpful. I highly recommend Niels and Viisi to anyone looking for a reliable and smart mortgage advisor. read more

We had a fantastic experience with VIISI as a mortgage adviser. Specifically, Niels (our agent) was quick, efficient, and always willing to answer any questions. If the questions were too difficult to explain by email, Niels would call me to answer those questions. I was surprised that Niels and his team got us a great deal of a mortgage in such a limited time. Even when one day Niels was sick (from a cold), other colleagues were already working on our case. Overall, VIISI's services allowed me to focus on my daily activities without stress. read more

My partner and I chose viisi to apply for our mortgage because a colleague from work recommended it to us. We are very happy with our choice. We had video-calls with several advisors (Brent, Lotte and Merel) from viisi and they were all very professional, always putting customer's interest first. They did a great job explaining complex financial concepts in a way that we could understand it. They answered all our questions without delay, which I appreciate since I was interested in improving my knowledge in finance. Thanks a lot Viisi! read more

I am very happy with the mortgage advises that Merel Lieftink and Viisi team provided to us. At first she found 3 lowest interest rate options in the market that matched us the best(considering the amount of cash we had and also 6 months extension possibility). During the process, everything went very smooth and very communicative and transparent and as quickly as possible. She was always available to talk on phone and by email. Without Viisi I would borrow much less amount of money and with higher interest rate. Thanks Merel & Viisi! read more

A British friend recommended using Viisi for my mortgage in Amsterdam. It was an AMAZING recommendation. Viisi was a great partner for securing all the documentation needed to get a mortgage, presenting me with my mortgage options, securing a lender, and then facilitating the entire financing process. I am very happy with the mortage that I received, and I was very happy with the hospitality and kindness of the Viisi team along the way. If you are buying a home in the Netherlands and you are an Expat, I highly recommend using Viisi. read more

An excellent service from the very first day, even before making any contracts, to the last day. Our contact person/agent was so responsive, patient, and supportive. We found her always open to all our (sometimes silly) questions. It helped us to have a pleasant experience in the process of buying our first house in the Netherlands. Viisi procedure was also very clear and efficient, and we felt the systematic support till the last step of procedure. Overall, we highly recommend Viisi to house buyers. read more

We are very happy that our agent recommended Viisi to us for our mortgage process, it was a great experience overall with a smooth process, informative, and thorough sessions. It meant a lot, as the housing market is already quite tricky to deal with, especially as expats, but all our questions were answered. The value of the service was well worth it as the entire process was great from start to finish. Highly recommended! read more

Very Professional team and responsive. We started with Andrew and continued with Anne and they were all kind , patient and caring. They explained everything in details and all the rule and regulations in Netherlands. This was helpful for our first home as expats. I believe expats will have great experience with them. If they can also help with translating so documents would be a great extra mile :) read more
