Welcome
IMAGINE waking up to the quiet rhythm of a canal just outside your window. Amsterdam is often called the smallest metropolis in the world. A city where global culture, historic beauty, and everyday life unfold within walking distance. From world-class museums and restaurants to leafy parks and elegant canal houses, everything feels close, human, and alive. It is a city that offers calm, security and global connectivity. Once you arrive, it’s easy to see why so many choose not just to visit, but to stay.
Acquiring and selling Amsterdam’s most beautiful homes
IMAGINE having a local guide who knows Amsterdam not just street by street, but house by house. Founded in 1928, Broersma has spent nearly a century understanding the city’s neighbourhoods, its architecture and its ever-evolving housing market. That experience has translated into a leading position in Amsterdam’s prime residential segment.
For international buyers, that position offers a decisive advantage. It means access to insight few others have, from discreet opportunities to a precise understanding of value. Broersma operates at the very top of the Amsterdam market and specialises in the city’s most exceptional homes.
Buying or renting property in Amsterdam requires local knowledge, careful navigation, and the right network. Broersma listens, advises, and guides buyers through every stage of the process, from identifying the right neighborhood to negotiating the final purchase and connecting international clients with the finest addresses in what we like to call the smallest metropolis in the world.
Beyond transactions, Broersma also shares the story of Amsterdam living through its editorial platform The Edit. Across its website, newsletters, and social channels, the platform reaches over 250,000 readers and followers each month, offering international audiences a curated window into the city’s architecture, neighborhoods, and most desirable homes.

“What I love most about this profession is its versatility. There’s the legal side, the technical side, and above all, working with people. Everyone approaches things in their own way. It’s precisely that, along with negotiating and bringing people together, that makes this work so interesting to me.”
