Expat Things Reviews 9

Chante was such a lovely person to work with during my move abroad with my partner. Though we had a lot of difficulties finding a place due to having multiple pets, I never felt abandoned and it felt like she really cared about us. She was pleasant and I enjoyed speaking to her, and she's checked up on us multiple times since we've moved in. She really makes things so much easier for you!

We met Chanté from a personal referral. After having three makelaars not return any communication at all, we knew we found our person when Chanté got back to us within a very reasonable timeframe. She is a joy to work with, pays close attention to your needs and wants, and guides you through the process with honesty, frankness, and compassion. She is a wealth of knowledge pertaining to all things around moving and acclimating to a new city or country. She was very helpful to our family far beyond the typical service of a makelaar. We can't recommend Chanté enough!

Chanté promised she’d help me find a flat “now now,” which, as anyone who’s ever moved abroad knows, could mean anything from five minutes to five months. To my amazement, she delivered before I even had time to order a snack! Honestly, I’m starting to think she keeps a magic wand tucked somewhere.
Her attention to detail and diligence are exceptional. She spots snags before you even notice them, keeps every deadline on track, and somehow makes navigating Dutch bureaucracy feel effortless and even enjoyable. Add in her charm, patience, and empathy, and you have someone who turns what could be a stressful move into a smooth, surprisingly fun adventure.
No matter where you’re moving from, Chanté makes you feel supported, understood, and genuinely cared for. Simply put: if moving abroad were an Olympic sport, she’d take home the gold.

Trusting Expat Things and Chante with my apartment search was the best decision I could have made. Within a month, Chante found an amazing place for me in Utrecht, for a reasonable price, in a perfect location, under perfect conditions. She was supportive throughout the contract and apt. handover process, provided so many tips, made sure that all necessary arrangements made..... It was a pleasure to have Chante by my side in this otherwise challenging and tricky process.

Chante is an absolutely wonderful professional! Before requesting her assistance, we looked for a new rental home for a few months and, despite living in the Netherlands for 5 years and having a high income, couldn't land a single viewing. When Chante started working on our case, we were thinking that it would take us at least 2-3 months to find a new home, but it happened within just a couple of weeks. Chante is a dedicated, knowledgeable professional who goes above and beyond to provide exactly what you need. She was always available, ready to answer any question we had and help us with anything related to our house search and, generally, anything house-related. We highly recommend her, and if we ever have to move again, we will definitely ask Chante to be our agent.

I wholeheartedly recommend Chante from Expat Things for their outstanding service in helping me find the perfect house in the Netherlands while I was still abroad.

From our very first interaction, Chante took the time to listen carefully to my needs—my budget, preferred location, and specific requirements for the property. They provided a thoughtfully curated selection of homes, complete with detailed descriptions and virtual tours, which made it easy to make decisions from afar. Chante’s prompt responses and clear communication, despite the time difference, kept me informed and reassured at every step.

The house Chante found for me was beyond my expectations—a beautiful, spacious home in an ideal neighborhood that ticked every box on my list and more. They handled all negotiations and paperwork with incredible efficiency, ensuring everything was in place for my arrival. Their deep knowledge of the Dutch rental market and expat-specific needs was invaluable, and they even connected me with reliable contacts for utilities and other essentials to help me settle in.

Chante’s personalized approach and genuine care made all the difference. They went above and beyond, making my international move feel effortless and exciting. If you’re an expat looking for a trustworthy, proactive, and highly effective rental agent in the Netherlands, Chante from Expat Things is the absolute best choice!

We had an incredible experience working with Chante from Expat Things! From the very beginning she made the process of finding a rental home in the Netherlands smooth and stress-free. She found us a wonderful place to live very quickly and took care of so many of the details that would have been overwhelming to manage from abroad. What really sets Chante apart is her continued support even after we arrived and moved into our new home.
