Get your bearings in the housing market
Check current prices and bidding info with Walter Living
Use Walter Living for your house-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!
Bidding and negotiating
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 the Offer with Certainty. After a thorough assessment, you will receive a certificate with a specific amount up to which your mortgage is pre-approved. You can make the offer while dropping the financing clause, making it much more attractive for the seller.
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 personal advisor with Viisi is always available for questions during your search. If you need to act quickly, we’re there for you immediately!
Tailor-made mortgage advice
Tailored mortgage advice
When your bid has been accepted by the seller, you need to arrange a number of things. First of all the mortgage. During the consultation, you will discuss with us a number of things to make sure you make the right choices:
- How to structure the mortgage (repayments, fixing the interest, taxation)
- Which interests are available in the market, what are the differences in terms of monthly payments?
- Which mortgage conditions are important? And which lender offers the best deal for me?
- What are the processing times of mortgage lenders and where do I have the best chance on an smooth approval of the mortgage?
Insurance included
Advice on life insurance and other insurances is always included in our advice, without any additional fees. Because it is important to be confident about your financial situation regardless what happens in the future.
Need an appraiser or bank guarantee?
Look no further, because Viisi can also set that up for you. We work together with a number of knowledgeable partners, who offer good service levels and competitive rates.
A 40% faster processing rate for your mortgage
Viisi is unique in having our own team of lightning-fast and accurate mortgage underwriters. They check your documentation before sending it to the mortgage lender. You will know immediately if something is missing or when an additional document might be needed. This way, we make sure that mortgage applications from Viisi are approved 40% faster than average.
Do you have any further questions? Your Viisi advisor will be there all along until your mortgage has officially been approved. And after that as well!

When everything has been checked and approved, you will receive your final mortgage offer. All you need to do afterwards is sign, and your mortgage is done and dusted!
Congratulations! You can head over to the notary and pick up the keys to your house.

Living in Groningen
Groningen has over 200,000 inhabitants: townies and friends of the people from its surrounding area. For an outsider an incomprehensible difference, but living in Groningen you would effortlessly add the peat bogs versus the rich gentleman farmers. A proud and very cocksure province with a turbulent past, still resounding in the present relations, in which distressing poverty was the polar opposite of the propertied class. The town is a delight with beautiful old buildings and the brand-new Forum. Groningen is populated by students, 30% of whom are foreigners, and cyclists have created a free state in it. The university is a biotope in this agricultural province. But its surroundings are also more than worthwhile to cycle through to Doodstil, Sint-Annen, or to Usquert with its town hall by the architect Berlage. Back in town, the theatre is well worth a visit. Or how about the Groninger Museum, a real eye-catcher right next to the station?
The distinguished Haren rivals Wassenaar, but otherwise Groningen is just a nice province with good access for cars, trains and air traffic and affordable housing. Of course, earthquake damage suffered is a perceptible aspect and has harmed the housing market in the most affected regions. Would you like to learn about the developments in the housing market and with what changes in the mortgage market you will have to reckon? Our mortgage advisors are fully informed and will be happy to help you find and finance your dream home.
