Very experienced mortgage professional! We bought our house in a very short period of time and are very happy with the service! Highly recommend!Posted on Google Laura JogiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had been looking for a home in Amsterdam by ourselves for almost a year with no success and then decided to go for EMP to help us. We couldn’t have made a better choice! We got the first apartment we viewed while working with them - we explained to Melissa how much we loved the place and she together with the rest of the team, Mantla, Frank, Dominique, made our dream happen. Everything went super quick, even faster than they initially promised. They were always available for us and answered all our questions immediately making us feel confident throughout the whole process. Even the sellers of the house later told us that they were surprised how smooth everything went from their side as well thanks to our advisors.Posted on Google Sherif IsmailTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience they are very supportive and friendly and recommended to everyone planning to take a mortgagePosted on Google Jerwin LacsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an excellent experience with Expat Mortgage Platform during our mortgage process. The team was highly accommodating, responsive, and easy to reach throughout the entire process. All of our questions, even the smaller ones, were addressed thoroughly and explained clearly. As expats, we truly appreciated how they guided us step by step and made the process much easier to understand. They also handled the paperwork and legal matters with great care and attention to detail. They reviewed and checked the documents for us, scrutinized the important details, and ensured that everything was in order. From our side, we mainly had to check our personal details, such as the spelling of our names, which made the process much less stressful. Another major advantage was that they were able to structure the financing in such a way that we did not have to cash out anything upfront. The mortgage arrangement included the overbidding amount, renovation costs, notarial fees, and even their professional fees. This was extremely helpful for us as buyers. Their professional fees are quite high compared to others, but considering the quality of service, level of support, responsiveness, and overall guidance provided, we believe the service was well worth it. Overall, we are highly satisfied and would confidently recommend Expat Mortgage Platform, especially for expats who need clear guidance and comprehensive support throughout the mortgage process.Posted on Google Delfina AndradeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Client Story: Sherif – From Renting to Homeownership in Rotterdam
In December, Sherif walked into our office with a clear ambition: to stop renting and start investing in his future.
Just a few months later, that ambition became reality when he received the keys to his new home in the heart of Rotterdam.
Sherif moved to the Netherlands two years ago for his role as a manager at a multinational company. Like many internationals, renting initially felt like the easiest option. Over time, however, one question kept coming back:
“Why keep paying high rent when I could be building equity instead?”
Together, we explored his full financial picture and guided him step by step through the Dutch home-buying process — from mortgage feasibility and lender comparison to final approval at the notary. What once felt complex quickly became clear, structured, and achievable.
The Result
A beautiful home in Rotterdam city centre
A well-structured Dutch mortgage tailored to his situation
Lower monthly costs than renting
Helping expats achieve outcomes like this is exactly why we do what we do.
