Before you begin your search, consider what type of home matches your lifestyle. Would you prefer an apartment or a house with a garden? Do you need it furnished or unfurnished? You can browse more than 150 listings online, each with photos and detailed information about availability, bedrooms, and features.
Once you find homes you like, contact a RE MAX agent who can help answer your questions and schedule viewings. During these visits, check how well the property is maintained, what furniture is included, how secure it feels, and what the neighborhood is like. It also helps to ask about nearby construction plans and speak to neighbors about their experience living there.
Because good rentals go quickly, it is important to act fast. Start your search early, have your deposit ready, and prepare identification along with references from employers or previous landlords.
Before making a final decision, ask the agent which utilities are included in the rent, how much the deposit is, and what the rental terms are. According to current Dutch laws, renters do not pay a commission fee — this is paid by the owner.
As your move-in day approaches, use a trusted moving company and inspect the home together with the agent or property manager. Note any needed repairs in writing and sign the inventory list if there is one. Set up your utilities in advance, read the meters on move-in day, and inform your bank and other services of your new address. Make sure your rent is paid on time and consider getting contents insurance to protect your belongings.

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...
