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...
