Thoroughly prepared through our webinars
In a single evening, we’ll take you through all of the aspects involved in buying a home. Whether it’s your first home, or if you’re selling up and moving on to another property, our advisors are always happy to help you on your way.
Calculate your maximum mortgage
Before you start looking, you’ll naturally want to know how much you can borrow. By using our online calculation tool, you can generate your own initial estimate.
Check current prices and bidding info with Walter Living
Use Walter Living for your home hunt.. This allows you to request up-to-the-minute price and bidding information on all properties. Is a property being offered at a very attractive price, or is the asking price far too high? Has it been sold before and come back onto the market again later? You’ll get to see it all!
Appointment with an advisor
We’ll conduct a preliminary meeting (by phone, video call or in one of our offices) without any further obligations. This way, we can find out together within half an hour whether we’re able to help you. We can almost always provide a direct insight into the possibilities open to you.

Step 2: Bidding on a property
Offer with certainty
An offer without a financing condition increases your likelihood of a successful bid. It is not without risks however, which is why Viisi, in collaboration with BNP Paribas, introduced Offer with Certainty. After a thorough assessment, we will issue you a maximum figure with which you can make an offer that is not subject to financing.
Legal guidance
During your search and after the purchase of your new home, you can make free use of the DAS legal helpline, which is useful for any legal questions surrounding the purchase, financing, transfer and renovation of your new home.
Are there any other questions on your mind? Your advisor is on standby.
Your advisor is always available for questions during your search. That’s great news!
Step 3: Offer accepted? Let’s get started!
