ERA, NVM, and MVA: What are the benefits for you?
Do you want to buy or sell a house in Amsterdam and the surrounding area? Then you’ve come to the right place with 123ERAmakelaar. We are part of the global ERA network and are members of the NVM and the MVA. This combination offers numerous benefits for you as a buyer or seller. In this article, we’ll explain how these three organizations complement each other and how our experienced real estate agents turn this into the best outcome for you.
What is ERA?
This is an international collaboration of high-quality real estate agents. The collaboration was established in 1972 under the name Electronic Realty Associates, and currently, there are approximately 240 affiliated real estate agencies in the Netherlands. We are the only ERA real estate agency in Amsterdam, which means that as a buyer or seller, you can benefit from all the advantages that ERA offers through us. These include the ERA Service Guarantee, the ERA Warranty on installations and built-in appliances, as well as extended reach through the extensive real estate agent network and comprehensive marketing opportunities such as neighbor mailings, our own website, and additional exposure on the ERA website and ERA open house routes. We utilize these additional resources to ensure the success of your sale or purchase. On this page, we provide more information about the benefits of ERA.
What is NVM?
NVM (Nederlandse vereniging voor Makelaars) stands for the Dutch Association of Realtors and Valuers. It is the largest professional association in the Netherlands within this field. NVM real estate agents stand for expertise and reliability, and therefore all adhere to the NVM Code of Conduct. This way, as a buyer or seller, you have a guarantee of the quality of service provided. NVM real estate agents possess the necessary diplomas and certificates and maintain their level of knowledge through continuous education. Moreover, the NVM provides various tools, an extensive network, and a rich database to facilitate the sale or purchase. The most well-known tool is Funda, the demand and supply platform where over 4.5 million unique visitors come together every month.
What is MVA?
This is the Amsterdam Brokers Association, the professional organization of brokers and appraisers in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Region and the largest department within the NVM. In addition to the NVM, the MVA offers additional benefits. This allows for even more targeted collaboration at the regional level and provides additional training opportunities through the MVA Academy. Additionally, special quality labels have been developed to assist buyers and sellers even better in choosing the right real estate agent in the region. For example, we have the MVA Leasehold Expert label. The leasehold scheme in the Amsterdam region is unique and complex, often necessitating assistance in this area. Our experts are always ready to provide well-founded advice on this matter.
What are the benefits of this combination?
By combining ERA, NVM, and MVA, we can provide you with the very best service. The three organizations complement each other well because they are active both regionally (MVA), nationally (NVM), and internationally (ERA). As 123ERAmakelaar, we may not be primarily active internationally, but we can still be of assistance to expatriates searching for a home in Amsterdam and its surroundings. Our own brokers also have years of experience, a vast network, and extensive market knowledge. However, thanks to these three organizations, they have even more resources at their disposal to provide you with the best service possible. We do this with an enthusiastic team that always opts for a personalized approach. Because everything revolves around you with us, you can always count on customized solutions.
