Aankoopmakelaar Utrecht

The buyer’s agent from Utrecht!

The team at Aankoopmakelaar Utrecht is well-versed in the housing market in Utrecht and the adjacent areas. Thanks to our years of experience and the significant number of homes we’ve purchased over the years, we can precisely advise you on what to consider when buying a house.

We operate with a relatively small team, which makes us flexible and able to adapt quickly. Whether it’s last-minute appointments or planning far in advance, we’re accustomed to it all.

If it’s your first time connecting with Grandia Aankoopmakelaars, there’s a good chance you’ll speak with Kirsten. She is the initial point of contact and coordinates the schedules of buyer’s agents Menno Grandia and Wietse Grandia.

We’d be happy to introduce the team more extensively:

Our team

Wietse Grandia

NVM buyer’s agent

Wietse Grandia has been a certified Register Real Estate Agent and NVM Buying Agent for over 10 years.

After taking his initial steps at companies like L’Oréal and IBM, he quickly transitioned to the real estate sector. Since then, Wietse has gained extensive experience in Utrecht’s dynamic housing market. Thanks to his numerous successful purchases, he is regarded as one of the most experienced buying agents in Utrecht at the moment.

Wietse also resides in Utrecht. After a period of living in the Vogelenbuurt, he now calls Tuindorp home, where he lives with his partner Emma and their children, Willem and Pien. Tuindorp is a beautiful neighborhood full of character, conveniently located near the city center and close to the Aankoopmakelaar Utrecht office. Therefore, he often commutes to work by bicycle. Wietse has completely renovated his own home in Tuindorp, so if you have any questions about construction or renovation projects, Wietse is the right person to consult.

Wietse’s experienced and thoughtful approach is highly appreciated by many buyers. Consequently, many family members and friends of his previous clients gladly return to him for his services as a buying agent in Utrecht.

If you have any questions regarding the housing market in Utrecht, please feel free to ask Wietse.

Menno Grandia

NVM buyer’s agent

Menno Grandia is the founder of Aankoopmakelaar Utrecht and has been working in the real estate industry for over 20 years.

Menno is a highly experienced buying agent who specialized in Utrecht and its surroundings in 2014. In the early years of his career, Menno also held various other positions in the real estate industry, ranging from buying agent to selling agent and appraiser. However, the role of a buying agent proved to be the best fit for his no-nonsense personality.

At Aankoopmakelaar Utrecht, Menno leverages his wealth of experience to tackle complex issues in the upper segment of the market. Additionally, he is an expert in the luxury and rural segments of the Utrecht region and the central Netherlands. Furthermore, he possesses extensive expertise in the renovation and construction of homes. Menno is always ready to provide advice when it comes to fixer-uppers or the purchase of building plots.

With Aankoopmakelaar Utrecht, he is the first and still the only NVM real estate agent who exclusively works as a buying agent in Utrecht. During the buying process, Menno works relatively briefly but intensively with his clients. His clear approach and straightforward advice are highly appreciated by many.

Menno and Wietse, besides being colleagues, are also brothers who know each other inside out and complement each other excellently in their services. The combination of their experience and their exclusive focus on purchases sets them apart from other real estate agents.

Kirsten van den Ham

Front Office

Kirsten was born and raised in the vicinity of Utrecht and has considered the city her second home since her early years. Nowadays, she resides in the charming Wittevrouwen neighborhood, with a magnificent view of the idyllic Griftpark.

After completing her education in Pedagogy, with a minor in sports psychology, Kirsten came to the conclusion that this field of work didn’t quite meet her expectations. She craved more dynamism. This led to the decision to transition to the real estate sector, a choice she has never regretted.

In early 2021, Kirsten made the move to Aankoopmakelaar Utrecht. Thanks to her prior experience and the knowledge she has gained, she is proficient in all aspects of the real estate profession. The enthusiastic team and the dynamics of the buying process make her work challenging and enjoyable every day.

With her extensive experience, Kirsten expertly assists both our existing and new customers.
