About us
With years of experience in the industry, The Expat Advisor has built a reputation that embodies quality, performance and innovation. But it is our values and our hard work that make us different. Personal attention and good advice are the cornerstones of our practice.
With our company Echt Hypotheekadvies we became an established name in the region of Limburg. We have helped alot of people in the process of buying their dream home. In that process we also helped alot of expats from South Africa to buy a house. These people were very satisfied with our services and we wanted to expand nationally to help more expats.
That's why we started with the Expat Advisor.
