Why expat housing is different

No Dutch rental history

Landlords in Amsterdam are used to seeing payslips and rental references you don't have yet. A strong employer letter and a complete application go a long way.

Searching from abroad

Viewings happen in person, and listings move within hours - a search that only runs when you're awake, in the wrong time zone, misses homes.

Registration requirements

You can only register (BRP) at addresses where it's allowed - which also determines whether you can get a BSN, open a bank account, and get paid.

A fixed timeline

Your job start date doesn't move. Most successful searches use a temporary base first, then find the long-term home once you're in the city.

How it works

Simplicity is the key. Setup your search criteria once and let Agent Jeremy do the rest.

Message Jeremy

Start on WhatsApp or Telegram. Describe your ideal home in plain language - Jeremy handles the rest.

Lively and diverse, increasingly popular with young internationals near Science Park.

Modern buildings and a creative character, a free ferry ride from Centraal.

A short train ride away, historic and charming, with far less competition.

How Agent Jeremy helps

Every listing, one place

Agent Jeremy scans dozens of rental sites and agency pages for Amsterdam around the clock, so you don't have to check each one yourself.

Instant alerts, any time zone

Get notified by WhatsApp, Telegram, or email the second a new listing matches - even while you're asleep in another country.

Be first to apply

In a competitive market, being one of the first complete applications in a landlord's inbox is often the difference between getting the home and missing out.

Tuned to your criteria

Set your budget, size, and must-haves once, and only see listings that actually fit your move.

Don't take our word for it

I'd been searching for three months on my own. With Agent Jeremy I had a viewing in four days and signed the next week. Genuinely life-changing.

Moved to Amsterdam

I used to refresh Funda and Pararius all day. Now I get a ping within seconds of a listing going live - I was among the first to apply. Worth every cent.

The filters are spot on - we only get alerts for homes that actually fit our budget and neighborhood. No more wasting time on listings that were never right for us.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, more so than for local renters - you're often competing without a Dutch rental history or payslips, sometimes from abroad. A complete application, a strong employer reference, and fast responses to new listings meaningfully close that gap.

You can and should start preparing from abroad - documents, budget, target neighborhoods - but avoid signing for anything you haven't seen in person or via a verified video viewing. Book temporary housing for your first weeks and do the real search once you're in the city.

No - you get your BSN after registering (BRP) at your new address, so it works the other way around. Just make sure any listing you consider explicitly allows registration, or you'll be stuck without one.

Furnished (gemeubileerd) suits short stays and arriving with little more than suitcases, but it's the most competitive segment. Upholstered (gestoffeerd) or bare (kaal) listings open up a much larger part of the market if you're staying longer.

You can try Agent Jeremy free for 3 days. After the trial, it's a small monthly subscription - see the pricing section on our home page for current details.
