History of RE/MAX Curacao

In recent years, real estate agency RE/MAX BonBini has become the largest and best-selling real estate agency in Curaçao.
It all began in 2005 when the founders of the agency, Hans and Margriet Vervoord, started looking for a property in Curaçao from the Netherlands. During their search they encountered many problems and they decided that the service of real estate agents in Curaçao should be better. Far better.

The beginning
In March 2006, Hans Vervoord went to Denver, Colorado where the head office of RE/MAX International is located, the world's most successful real estate organization. An exclusive franchise for the island of Curaçao was signed in Denver. The main reason to buy a franchise formula that is famous worldwide, was to reach buyers unfamiliar with the island of Curaçao, with the added bonus of RE/MAX' reputation. This turned out to be a good choice; today, RE/MAX BonBini Curaçao still sells many houses to foreign buyers from the United States, Canada, and all over Europe.

Offices
In 2005 the head office was established in Riffort Village in Willemstad, in the heart of Willemstad and within walking distance of the famous pontoon bridge. In 2009, RE/MAX BonBini became the exclusive broker for Blue Bay Golf & Beach Resort and opened a second sales office at the entrance to Blue Bay Resort. In 2015, the RE/MAX BonBini headquarters was relocated to 280 Caracas Bay Road, in the Eden Shopping Mall. This office is located on the main road in Jan Thiel and offers a wonderful workspace for some of our brokers. There are 2 large meeting rooms and plenty of parking for our guests.

Changing times
Brokerage, also in Curaçao, has changed a lot in the last few years. However, because the people of RE/MAX BonBini always keep up with the times, they do not see changes as a threat but as an opportunity. One of the examples of this is that we are the first real estate agency to meet all the requirements set by the FIU for compliance legislation (more information at this link). We also offer professional photo shoots along with drone images, virtual tours and videos of your property!

Our team does not stand still, but is always on the move, always looking for new ideas where the wishes of the client are the most important starting point. All employees have the same goal: to serve the customer in the best possible way. Every day again. In 2024 Nick Vervoord, Joost Houtsma, Chris Vervoord and Thom Vervoord proudly took over the business and are committed to continue and further improve the high quality service.

Team expansion
Our team now has not only a full-time compliance officer, but also a full-time social media contributor, ensuring that our online presence and interaction with clients is optimal.

Meet the team

Pim, it’s a great pleasure that we write this testimonial to your wonderful service. Our journey with Pim van Ogtrop and Remax Bonbini started in Switzerland when we decided to buy a second home in Curacao. We found you on the internet along with 4 other realtors who we asked to send us property listings. At first we were looking for a home under $200,000 and you made us feel just as important as the buyer with the multi-million dollar budget. You were the only agent that was consistent...
