Lokaal Makelaardij

About us

The people behindLokaal

Hi, we're Natasja and Alex, nice to meet you! We believe real estate can be more personal. That's why we founded Lokaal Makelaardij in 2021, as a counterpoint to the established agencies. Together we bring over 18 years of real estate experience.

Natasja en Alex van Lokaal Makelaardij

We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every home and every owner is unique, and that calls for tailor-made work. No big organisation with changing faces, but two agents who know every file personally. From the first meeting to the key handover: we do it together.

From our office on the Herenweg in Heemstede we work daily in Haarlem, Amsterdam, Hoofddorp and IJmond. We know the streets, the prices and the people. And we want to do more than broker deals: through transactions that contribute to local initiatives, we make the neighbourhood a little more liveable.

Our mission

Bringing together supply and demand in the local housing market, always looking for the ideal match between you and the tenant or buyer. Every transaction and every encounter deserves a unique, personal approach: the Lokaal approach!

Our team

Two faces,one approach

At Lokaal you always deal directly with the agent. No account managers or middle layers, just Natasja or Alex.

Natasja Cornelissen

Co-founder & agent

Natasja guides sellers and landlords from the first consultation to the key handover. She combines a sharp eye for presentation with a level-headed view of the market: honest advice, even when it isn't the nicest story. Her strength? Listening, adapting and always going that extra step.

Alex Veltman

Co-founder & agent

Alex is the negotiator of the duo. He knows exactly what a property is worth and how to get the most out of it. Sellers, landlords and investors appreciate his direct style: clear, fast and always reachable. Prefer to message? That works too, simply via WhatsApp.

Heart forLokaal

We want to do more than just broker deals. For every new deal in and around Haarlem, we donate part of our fee to two initiatives that make the city a better place. Selling or letting through us? Then you're supporting them automatically. Fancy doing a little extra? Our engagement letter lets you add a voluntary donation.

Stichting Present Haarlem

Making a difference together

Present builds a bridge between people who have something to offer and people in Haarlem who could use a helping hand for a while. We're happy to climb the ladder for that ourselves.
