Auctioning real estate is done through The First Amsterdam

Buying or selling real estate in Amsterdam does not have to be only through a buying and selling broker. It is also possible to offer a house or business property at an auction, which interested parties can then bid on. 


Of course, even there it is wise to be guided by an MVA broker. Obviously, the professional who knows the game and understands the rules of the game has a greater chance of success than someone who is a first-time buyer. Again, this is an important investment, so it is wise to be guided by an MVA broker.

Voluntary Auction

There can be advantages for both the buyer and seller in auctioning off a home or commercial property. For example, when there is a large portfolio of properties that are rented out. There is an unconditional purchase by a buyer at an auction. On the other hand, the seller does have to provide all necessary information about leases and other matters.

There are three different types of auctions. Voluntary and foreclosure auctions are the most common. It is also possible to auction by court order.
A voluntary auction occurs regularly in estate cases. By auctioning, the real estate is disposed of quickly and properly through the most transparent channel. This avoids discussions within the family.

Auctioning through the First Amsterdam Real Estate Auction

The First Amsterdam has existed since the mid-19th century and has auctioned many Amsterdam homes and business real estate since then.


The offerings of the First Amsterdam consist of both voluntarily notified real estate and properties offered in foreclosure. Houses, apartments, investments, commercial real estate: the offer is versatile and interesting for a broad target group.


The auction is open to all: both professional parties and interested individuals are welcome. An MVA broker can also purchase at the auction on behalf of a client. Those unable to attend the auction themselves can also bid online.
