About us
HuisAssist compares Dutch home services: one request, prices from several screened specialists. Who we are, what we do and how it works.
HuisAssist is a Dutch comparison service for home services that shows homebuyers, sellers and homeowners prices from several screened specialists in a single request, from building surveyor to notary.
We are not the surveyor, the appraiser or the estate agent ourselves. We are the party that works out who covers your postcode, what it costs there, and puts the prices side by side so you can choose. We have done that for more than 110,000 requests since May 2021, and now handle more than 40,000 a year.
What HuisAssist does
Every service works the same way: you fill in one request, you get prices from specialists who cover your area, you choose. This is what you get per service.
| Service | What you get |
|---|---|
| Building survey | A report with defects and repair costs, usually scheduled inside the term of your survey clause |
| Energy label | A definitive label, filed with RVO by a registered EP adviser; mandatory when you sell or rent out |
| Property valuation | A validated valuation report your mortgage lender accepts |
| Notary | Transfer deed, mortgage deed and registration with the Land Registry, with fees side by side |
| Buying and selling agent | An agent who is genuinely active in your town, compared on commission |
| Mortgage adviser | An independent adviser who works out what you can borrow and which lender fits, English-speaking if needed |
| Sustainability | Insulation, heat pump, solar panels or air conditioning, with the ISDE subsidy included in the price |
What makes HuisAssist different
You get prices, not a wave of phone calls
At most comparison sites you leave your details and then get called. With us you see prices on a page. Up to five specialists respond per request, and for two out of three requests it really is five.
The first price arrives almost immediately
We do not match by hand but on region, availability and rates from our own pricing data. Half of all requests have a first price within thirty seconds, nine in ten within two minutes. You are not waiting a day for a call back.
We never choose for you
If you do not choose, we do not choose either. There is no automatic award to whichever party earns us the most, and a specialist only gets your job once you point at them. You can withdraw your request at any time.
Free for you, paid for by the specialist
You pay HuisAssist nothing. There is no subscription and no brokerage fee on top of the price you see. We are paid by the specialist who gets your job, which is exactly why it makes no difference to us which of the five you pick.
Everything around one home in one place
Most comparison sites do one thing: only energy labels, or only insulation. We cover the whole purchase and the whole house, so you enter your address and property details once for a survey, a valuation, a notary and an energy label.
Who uses HuisAssist
- Homebuyers on a deadline — survey, valuation and notary all have to be arranged inside the term of your structural-survey or financing clause.
- Sellers putting a home on the market — the mandatory energy label, a selling agent and a realistic asking price.
- Homeowners making a house more efficient — insulation, heat pump, solar panels or air conditioning, including the subsidy that goes with it.
- Expats and international buyers — the entire request and all communication can be handled in English.
- Landlords and property owners — energy labels for homes and commercial buildings, and valuations for multiple properties.
The team behind HuisAssist
HuisAssist was founded in 2021 by Youp Strietman and Bart Strietman with one idea: help everyone with every service around their home in one place, and show the price up front for each of them, so you know where you stand straight away, with no hidden catches. Prices for exactly the same deed or the same report varied by hundreds of euros, and nobody was putting them side by side. The platform is built in-house, led by partner and CTO Bart Ligthart.
The team is based in Amsterdam and works weekdays between 09:00 and 18:00 Central European Time. Call us and you get one of the people above.

How HuisAssist works
- You make one request. Postcode and house number, what you need and when. We pull the property type, construction year and floor area from the Dutch buildings register automatically, so you do not have to look them up.
- We match on region, rate and availability. Only specialists who genuinely cover your postcode and can take the job now. Up to five parties per request.
- You see the prices. By email and on your own quote page, with the price, what is included and the company's Google rating next to it.
- You choose. Only then does the job go to that one party. The rest drop away.
- The specialist contacts you to schedule. For a survey and an energy label you can often pick a date straight away.
If a price or an appointment is not right, tell us and we will find another party. You can reach us on weekdays from 09:00 to 18:00 by phone, email and WhatsApp; we answer email within one working day.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. You pay HuisAssist nothing, there is no subscription, and no brokerage fee is added to the price the specialist quotes you. We are paid by the specialist you award the job to.
Up to five per request. For roughly two out of three requests it really is five; in sparsely populated areas or for an unusual job it can be fewer.
Half of all requests have a first price within thirty seconds and nine in ten within two minutes. You receive the prices by email and on your own quote page.
We check whether a party holds the required registration (for example a registered EP adviser with RVO or a validated appraiser), whether their service area matches the postcodes they claim to cover, and we track their Google ratings. When complaints or returned jobs come in, we adjust the matching or remove a party.
No. You see the prices first and choose yourself. The job only goes to one party once you point at them; we never award automatically.
Yes, at any time and free of charge, including after you have received prices. Email info@huisassist.nl or call +31 20 244 5782.
No. We do not carry out the survey, valuation or deed ourselves. We find the specialist and maintain the price and quality data; the job runs between you and that specialist.
Yes. If you request a survey and a valuation together, you enter your address and property details once and receive prices per service in one place.
Yes. The entire request and all communication can be handled in English, and part of our network works with English-speaking clients. Note that official documents such as the energy label registration and the notarial deed are in Dutch by law.
