Stenia and Dani provided excellent and friendly service and secured a wonderful apartment for us to lease.Moving to the Netherlands was our first move to a new country AND a new continent. Finding the *perfect place to live* was top of the list—one could even argue THE most important decision on that list of things needed when making such a move. Luckily for us, we discovered The Dutch Life. And life got better! Stenia and Dani were professional AND friendly; they were discerning AND dedicated. We felt seen and supported—every step of the way. And even though there was a time difference of 8 hours, we were able to make our virtual meetings work. We had so much trust in them, that when they stepped in for us to see the house and then shared the movies and photos of it with us—we decided to take the house even though we had never stepped foot in it. Guess what? Now we're in it and we couldn't love it more. Truly, its making our move a dream come true. I can't recommend The Dutch Life enough! If you want confident, friendly, excellent, discerning realtors finding you the perfect place to live, trust The Dutch Life. They've got your back from day one through the day you move in. Thanks for finding us our dream home, Dutch Life!I literally don't even know where to start. Working with The Dutch Life changed my life because now I'm SITTING in my office in AMSTERDAM as I write this. First off, I didn't make this process easy for Stenia and Dani. I basically messaged them and said, "I need to be out of my apartment in the US in two months. Oh, btw, here's my budget and I have a dog... good luck." Not to mention, I'm an absolute control freak who has a really hard time loosening the reins. That being said, every panicked email or text was met with understanding and kindness. I worked mainly with Stenia, and she understood the assignment. She found a place that met every single one of my desires, except it wasn't in one of my "approved" neighborhoods. As soon as she walked into the apartment (while I was on FaceTime), I knew it was it. I was really nervous about moving to a part of town I knew very little about, but I'm so glad I trusted her. My dog and I have been settled into our home for three months now, and it's truly a perfect fit for us. If you're looking for a team that's going to have your back throughout the process, look no further than The Dutch Life.+0It was clear from the start that Stenia and Dani genuinely had our best interests at heart. They were incredibly responsive throughout the entire process and made everything feel easy and stress-free. In a competitive market like Amsterdam, we never felt overwhelmed because we knew we had their support and that things would work out. We’re incredibly grateful for their help :)Great help from the duo at Dutch life finding a house in Amsterdam area. We made an offer in Haarlem, though we got outbid. Ending up looking in Haarlem, Amstelveen, Weesp, Naarden, and parts of Amsterdam itself. Ended up with a winner of an apartment in Diemen! Good times Thanks!Made it easy to find a rental on-budget, on-time, and in the location we wanted, despite our situation (DAFT visa) being complex.Dani & Stenia were amazing! They found us the perfect rental, and communicated thoroughly throughout the whole process. I highly, highly recommend them to anyone.Dani & Stenia are both great agents and have their hearts in the right place. Highly recommend The Dutch Life both for renting and purchasing your dream home.We can't thank the Dutch Life team enough. Stenia and Dani turned what's usually a stressful search into something genuinely easy. Their deep knowledge of Amsterdam and its neighbourhoods helped us secure a gorgeous apartment far faster than we'd hoped. Every step was handled with professionalism, patience, and real care. Whether you're a local or an international navigating the Dutch market for the first time, this is the team you want in your corner. A truly top-notch home-finding service! We're so grateful and couldn't recommend them more highly.recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.
We would like to thank Stenia and Danielle for all their help throughout the process of finding a home. From the very beginning, they were professional, attentive, and always available to answer any questions we had. They made the whole process much easier and far less stressful, which is something we truly appreciated. You can really tell they genuinely care about their clients and want to help you find the best possible home. Thanks to them, we found a place we are very happy with. We would definitely recommend this agency to anyone looking for a home.We can’t say enough great things about The Dutch Life! They were amazing to work with—super communicative and made our move from the U.S. feel so much less overwhelming. Stenia really took the time to get to know our family and made us feel like more than just clients. It was clear she genuinely cared about finding the right fit for us. We would absolutely recommend them!We had the most incredible experience with our makelaars, Danie and Stenia. From day one, they truly held our hands and guided us through every step of the journey. Buying our second property in the Netherlands during such a tough market came with plenty of highs and lows, but they carried us through it all. Their approach to negotiations was both ruthless and kind, they fought for us while always keeping our best interests at heart. They were there for everything: answering our countless questions, walking us through contracts in detail, and accompanying us to all the home viewings. More than just agents, they felt like big sisters, offering reassurance whenever we felt stressed or unsure. The home we ultimately bought was actually the very first one we had considered viewing but hesitated on. Danie encouraged us to go for it, and it turned out to be our dream home, perfectly located and a place we can truly see ourselves enjoying for years to come, in both the summers and the long winters. We can’t emphasise enough the patience, empathy, and dedication these two showed us throughout the entire process. We are incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done.Stenia and Dani helped us quickly find a home, even though we had not yet come to the Netherlands. This was so important for our job search, and for our peace of mind! Our new house has everything we need, plus some things we had only hoped to get, like a yard. The neighborhood is perfect for us. The relationships they have with other realtors were so helpful when we were preparing to apply for rentals, and we found our place on the second try. Having help with setting up utilities was so important, too. We highly recommend The Dutch Life.Great experience with The Dutch Life. Dani and Stenia were professional, responsive, and very helpful throughout the entire process. They made everything smooth and stress free and were always available to answer questions. Highly recommend their services!Great experience with The Dutch Life. Dani and Stenia were professional, responsive, and very helpful throughout the process. They were quick to answer questions, transparent, and truly cared about finding the right fit. Their local knowledge made everything smooth and stress free. Highly recommend!So, when you have to move to Amsterdam in a hurry and you stumble across a Facebook post called The Dutch Life, you send them a brief: "Must move in 30 days, 2x Adults from South Africa, and 2x Bostons Terriers. Need garden, Bath, no stairs (elderly dog) and Sunlight. Furnished. ASAP. PS: not inner city: Zuid? ish? The Dutch Life sent us a portfolio of homes (remotely, on video) and then coached us how to navigate the formidable interviews required to secure (ta-da!) our favourite pick. 3 weeks later we were settled and in our new home. And it's everything (and more) that was promised. We cannot recommend these amazing women enough. Worth every. single. Euro. (even on the Rand) :) Thank you Stenia and Dani. (the dogs thank you, too) Michael, and Tania. Eddie & Dot.I had an excellent experience with Stenia and the Dutch Life team. They were responsive, friendly, incredibly easy to work with and went above and beyond to find me a great home and help me get settled. I’ve already recommended them to others and would gladly work with them again!I had an excellent experience with Stenia and the Dutch Life team.

They are always friendly and professional, and finyd me a nice place very fast! The little gifts when completing the check-in was a nice touch :-). Highly recommend.They are the best! Helped me buy my apartment in a timely manner. They helped me with viewings, adjusting the right bidding ans they have been always available and delivered accurate information throughout the whole process.Stenia and Dani were absolutely amazing to work with. As a family of four with a cat and dog we thought it would be impossible to find housing and at a reasonable price. Stenia and Dani assured us that it would be possible though it may take a while. We virtually viewed two houses with Stenia’s help, and made an offer on one immediately after. A day or two later we were approved! They found us the perfect house with just the right amount of space for our family and in a beautiful neighborhood. We can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for us, and if we ever need to move again we will definitely be working with The Dutch Life again.Stenia and Dani were absolutely amazing to work with.

We would definitely use them again.Working with Dani and Stenia was a great experience. As an American, you hear a lot about how challenging it is to find housing in the Netherlands. And I appreciated how honest Dani and Stenia were with me about the challenges of finding housing and the reasons for that. They were realistic and honest. And that made me feel supported. And they found properties that fit our budget and allowed pets. And they did a great job of advocating for us when i found a place that I liked enough to put in a bid for. And because of their advocacy, we got the place! Such a relief. And it is a great spot for us to build our life here. Would have never found it or gotten if without the work that the Dutch life did to make it happen! Highly recommend them for your housing needs. They do a great job. And are kind and keep checking up on me to make sure everything is going well. I didn't have hot water for the first week I was living there and they gave me guidance on who to call to get that issue addressed. And it got resolved finally. I didn’t know anything about how to handle that issue so they did a great job of helping me navigate all that is involved with renting in a foreign country. If you’re looking for someone to help you with the challenges of finding housing in the Netherlands, I would definitely recommend the Dutch life. You’ll get personalized attention and honest feedback about your prospects. And that’s what you need.When I reached out to The Dutch Life, I was afraid no one would want to work with me because of my budget constraints and area I wanted to live in - in fact, I'd already been turned down by at least 1 makelaar. But Stenia wrote back right away to set up a call, saying there was hope in my situation. Only 6 weeks later, she found me a gorgeous apartment that I absolutely adore. She and Dani were so warm, friendly, encouraging, and uplifting during the whole emotional process of finding a home. (And I'm a fairly emotional person!) I'd been nervous that maybe I would have to give up on my original criteria and choose a new city, but thanks to their combination of optimism, killer intuition, professional networking, top-notch skills, and speediness, I'm now living in my favorite home I've ever had! I remain so grateful for how responsive and kind they have been. It's one thing to find a home (already a difficult feat in Amsterdam!) - it's another thing to be so genuinely wonderful to work with. Not only are they smart and savvy, they're also just truly lovely humans. Thank you, Stenia & Dani!I highly recommend Dutch Life. Moving countries is stressful, but Stenia and Dani made the entire process smooth and manageable. They provided clear guidance from start to finish and stayed in close contact every step of the way. They were easy to reach, explained every step clearly, and actually took care of things instead of just advising. If you’re looking for a reliable, all-around agent in the Netherlands, this is the place to go.Big shout‑out to Dani & Stenia! Moving to the Netherlands could have been a headache, but Dani and Stenia made it feel like a breeze. Their expertise, local know‑how, and genuine dedication turned a complicated process into something smooth and easy to navigate. Even when unexpected hiccups popped up—well after we’d wrapped up our agreement—they jumped right back in to help, even though it wasn’t part of their contract. That level of care really shows they put their clients first. If you’re looking for a relocation team that goes the extra mile, look no further. I can’t recommend them enough!Stenia and Dani from The Dutch Life are outstanding real estate agents, professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. They go above and beyond to support their clients throughout the entire process, making everything smooth and stress-free. Their deep local knowledge and personal approach truly set them apart. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trusted partner in the Dutch housing market.Dani and Stenia made our process of finding a home in the Netherlands wonderful! As ex-pats relocating, we weren't able to tour homes or see neighborhoods ourselves, and it helped so much to work with people who know the area inside and out and could recommend homes for us to see. They were open to all feedback that we had about various homes that they sent our way, and used that feedback to continue tailoring the homes that they showed us, until we found one that was the perfect fit. When we found a home that we wanted to put an offer in for, they guided us through the whole process, and made sure that we were informed and received copies of all documents in English. When it came time to receive the keys, Dani did a very thorough walkthrough and ensured that everything was taken care of so that we had a worry-free move in. They also use a partner company to help with utility set up, so getting all utilities established was a breeze! I would highly recommend The Dutch Life to anyone looking for assistance with finding a home in the NetherlandsI highly recommend Dani and Stenia! As a Dutch tenant navigating a challenging rental market, I truly needed their support to find a suitable place. They were always available for questions, no matter how small, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Both are extremely professional and helpful, providing great aftercare and assisting with key handover. They even prepared a full report, which was incredibly useful. Icouldn’t have asked for better support—thank you both!I highly recommend Dani and Stenia!

I can’t imagine having done this without them!Amazing service! They helped me to find a home in the central Amsterdam, and helped me to arrange everything, even checked after I moved in. They are not only doing the job well, also very nice people. Highly recommendingDani and Stenia really listened to us, observed us, and guided us thoughtfully to choose just the right place! We were relocating to the Netherlands on incredibly short notice (think a couple weeks!) and desperately wanted our kids to start the school year with their peers as quickly as possible. Dani and Stenia carefully, without in any way domineering, guided us away from a couple properties that (after being here for a few months) definitely would NOT have been the right fit. They also used their strong network of relationships, and their insights into building a strong application (even with unusual circumstances). Ultimately, at every step, they gave us the information and context we needed to make our own best decision. Altogether, we found a place much faster than anyone thought we could (in just 10 days!), we couldn't be happier with the local school, and it really has been the perfect place for us to land for this first year. Will definitely be coming back to Dani and Stenia when we're ready for our next move / to buy!Helped me find an apartment on short notice, before it was even listed online! They were very patient and helpful with the whole process, would recommend 👍I recently worked with The Dutch Life for relocating solo from America to the Netherlands, and I could not have done it without the support and guidance of Dani and Stenia. Their expertise in the nuanced and challenging Amsterdam rental market helped me find a great furnished apartment in a neighborhood that fits what I'm looking for. I really appreciated their attention to detail and consulting on what's standard or not in the rental market which eased my worry of making a novice mistake or getting taken advantage of. Beyond that, their advice helped me navigate the additional processes you need when moving to the Netherlands (BSN, bank, utilities, etc.), brought attention to things I wouldn't even know to ask, and answered every little question beyond that. It took the overwhelming and complicated process of moving to a new country and made it very clear and digestible. The Dutch Life's personal touch and high level of communication throughout the entire process was exactly what I was looking for, and I highly recommend their services for anyone else relocating to the Netherlands. As a bonus, it was comforting having a friendly face greet me upon arrival to my new home and new city!

Thank you Dani and Stenia!We chose The Dutch Life to help us secure housing during our move from the US to the Netherlands, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Danny and Stenia were incredibly helpful, proactive, and welcoming — it truly felt like we had friends on the ground even before we arrived. They established easy line of communication and were always approachable and responsive to our many questions. Their attention to detail in reviewing the property and lease agreement gave us peace of mind, and their local insights were invaluable, especially since we were unfamiliar with daily life in the Netherlands. On the day we arrived, Dani personally welcomed us at the property and gave us a full tour of what would become our new home. She continued to check in regularly over the following weeks, offering a level of support that made our transition much smoother.

They were always quick to inform us about developments, and provided all the information we needed to make decisions about next steps.

As newcomers to the Netherlands, their guidance was absolutely essential in helping us understand the local rental landscape. The team was incredibly supportive and patient, taking the time to explain everything and answer all of our questions. Their knowledge of the market is top-notch, and they were able to find us a wonderful rental in a very central location in less than 30 days.

We approached Stenia in mid-January with an almost impossible task, and with a relatively low budget. Stenia accepted this challenge with understanding and sensitivity. She took the time to comprehend our needs and explain the local reality to us. Throughout the process, she was constantly available for questions and consultations, clearly explaining the Dutch rental market's rules and procedures that were unfamiliar to us. After arriving in the Netherlands in early February, Stenia worked quickly and efficiently. Within just one month (!), she found us a perfect solution - a spacious house on the edge of Amsterdam, adjacent to a large park. This unique location allows us to enjoy the benefits of the city while simultaneously being close to nature - an excellent compromise that met all our requirements. What impressed me most was Stenia's ability to understand our deeper needs - not just the technical specifications of the property, but also the lifestyle we were seeking. She understood the importance of nature for us and our dogs and found a creative solution we hadn't thought of ourselves. Stenia is a true professional with empathy and a broad vision. She knows the market thoroughly, knows how to navigate within the many constraints, and manages to find solutions even in particularly challenging cases like ours. If you're looking for a real estate agent who will listen to your needs, understand your unique challenges, and work diligently to find the optimal solution - Stenia Pucciatti from The Dutch Life is an excellent choice. Thanks to her, our challenging move to the Netherlands became a much smoother and more pleasant experience, and we are very grateful to her for that.I highly recommend Stenia Pucciatti from The Dutch Life, who helped us find a rental home in Amsterdam in early 2025.

From the very beginning of our search for housing for my son, their team demonstrated unwavering dedication, professionalism, and genuine care. Finding a home in Amsterdam can be an incredibly challenging task, but The Dutch Life approached it with relentless energy and optimism. They worked tirelessly to find a place that not only met our practical needs but truly felt like a home. Throughout the process, they offered constant encouragement, timely updates, and thoughtful insights, always going above and beyond expectations. What stood out most was their personal approach. They treated us not just as clients, but as individuals whose needs and concerns mattered. Their patience, persistence, and ability to navigate the competitive housing market made all the difference. Thanks to their exceptional work, my son now has a wonderful place to call home in Amsterdam. I am incredibly grateful for their support and cannot recommend Stenia and the Dutch Life highly enough to anyone looking for housing in the city.Kind & professional service helping immensely to secure housing for us with our very nuanced situation!
