The story behind Gerard Groenendijk
Branch manager Gerard Groenendijk RM RT is the driving force behind Team VLIEG Makelaars Amstelveen. His background in structural engineering, combined with a traditional real estate broker’s license in court, provides a solid foundation for his role. Gerard, married and father of two, recently saw his daughter leave home, leaving only one child now living at home.
Gerard’s career is rich in experience, particularly in residential and land appraisal, which fits seamlessly with his current work. In his role as a broker, he experiences the dynamics of an overstrained market, where overbidding is often common, especially in a city like Amstelveen. This has led to the role of buying agent becoming increasingly important, especially given the trend of bidding above the asking price, a phenomenon that used to be rare and is now further enhanced by the presence of expats.
What does Gerard mean to VLIEG?
At
FLY
Gerard plays an important role in supervising viewings for potential buyers, a task he performs with great care. He stresses the importance of experiencing a property in person. Gerard is also incredibly strong at analyzing the market; he keeps accurate records of recently sold homes and successes achieved.
Advising clients on a realistic offer
This information is used to advise customers on a realistic bid, emphasizing that the bid is not only about the highest price, but also about feeling comfortable with the purchase. “Sometimes the client really wants a house and is willing to offer much more than may be necessary,” Gerard explains. He believes that a client should always be aware of the choices they make.
The added value of a real estate agent
Gerard understands that clients today are quite capable of finding homes on their own, but emphasizes that the added value of a real estate agent lies in interpreting complex indices and market trends. It provides insight into which areas are in highest demand and where overbidding is common, allowing customers to make targeted and informed bids. His approach illustrates that brokerage is more than just a profession; it requires a deep understanding and careful consideration of many factors. Gerard thus makes every transaction successful.
For what qualities is Gerard known?
Gerard Groenendijk stands out for his accessibility and strong communication skills, both in Dutch and English. This language knowledge proved invaluable when he started at VLIEG, especially in an internationally oriented work environment. His background in structural engineering enriches his understanding of home construction, which enables him to provide clients with comprehensive advice.
Advice on right of use in an apartment
Gerard stresses the importance of understanding regarding the concept of right of use when purchasing an apartment. Many buyers are unaware of the limitations and opportunities this presents. This lack of knowledge is a trap through which Gerard cautiously guides his clients. He brought this knowledge and experience from his previous employer, where he advised many Home Owners Associations.
Calculation Tools
Moreover, Gerard’s calculation tools, which he has developed thanks to his architectural studies, are a valuable tool in his work. These tools allow him to make complex calculations, which makes his advice even more valuable to his clients. Gerard’s versatile skills make him an indispensable force for VLIEG.
What makes Gerard happy?
Gerard finds his happiness in achieving a situation where both seller and buyer are satisfied. While primarily focused on the seller’s interests when called upon to do so, he strives to strike a balance where everyone feels happy with the outcome. This pursuit of general satisfaction is a defining characteristic of his method.
VLIEG’s unique structure, where mortgage advisors work internally rather than the usual collaboration with outside advisors, contributes to Gerard’s job happiness. He appreciates the efficiencies and better results this collaboration brings. Challenges and complex situations are a source of satisfaction for Gerard. Overcoming standard scenarios energizes him. Gerard: “If you repeat the same trick 10 times, you have to be careful that the trick still works and boredom doesn’t set in. Fortunately, that is never the case here”.
Above all, the good atmosphere within the team at VLIEG contributes to his job happiness. Gerard appreciates the camaraderie and team spirit, which helps him enjoy going to work every day.

Groetjes,

Tegelijkertijd zijn we met Esther Mostertman van VLIEG in gesprek gegaan om onze woonwensen te bespreken.
Wat wij als zeer prettig ervaren hebben is de begeleiding die we gekregen hebben in dit traject. Hans heeft duidelijk aangegeven wat van ons verwacht werd en hij heeft alles waar gemaakt wat hij ons beloofd heeft.
Wij hebben, tegen verwachting in, in hele korte tijd een woning gevonden en met tips van Esther de juiste bieding kunnen doen.
Vervolgens hebben wij nog meerdere momenten met Hans om tafel kunnen zitten en heeft hij de hypotheek voor ons kunnen regelen.
Zij hebben ons perfect begeleid in dit stressvolle traject en ons heel wat zorgen ontnomen. Echt een aanrader!read more
