About this workshop: Moving to the Netherlands and finding a place to call home is not just about bricks and mortar; it’s a journey. Whether you’ve just arrived and are looking for a rental, or are ready to settle down in the Netherlands and want to buy a house, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge to make the right choice and find a home you truly love. 

This workshop, presented by Homes for Expats, will take you through the full housing journey - from renting your first property to buying your dream home. You’ll hear real stories from expats who have already been through the process, learn from their experiences of what worked, what didn’t, and what they wish they had known. Their experts will also talk you through the practical side: what to look out for, what to avoid, and the steps that make all the difference when it comes to renting, buying or even selling a home in the Netherlands.

Homes for Expats is passionate about helping their fellow expats navigate the Dutch housing market. Their team of fellow expats understand the challenges of buying a house in the Netherlands because they’ve lived through it. That’s why Cherene Kruger founded Homes for Expats to offer support and expertise from an experienced team of internationals who truly know what it’s like to start fresh in a new country
