We provide financial clarity & arrange your mortgage
So you can focus on your house, your plan or your dream
We founded Klår in 2018 because we believe that buying a house, as well as arranging the financing, should actually be fun. It’s exciting enough as it is, and nobody likes the hassle and paperwork that comes with it. We know! That’s why we like to do things a little bit differently.
We have lots of experience and expertise in mortgages, alternative forms of financing and investments. We are convinced that’s why we can make a difference for you as a buyer. And because we’ll support you every step of the way. We’ve been through this process so many times before, to us it’s like ehhh… our day job.
Peter has an unprecedented spirit! In his private life this shows by the way he is always making the most of family time but also by the way he cycles, runs or surfs … With our business he shows the same tireless dedication and enthusiasm. He takes his job very seriously, himself (fortunately) not too much. Not a day goes by without a good laugh. And he is such an lovable optimist. If there’s a crack through which the light shines in, he’s always the first to spot it.
I have always said to him: we should start a company together! We are a perfect match. Jochem is THE man figure out and arrange solutions with the banks (and other financials). If he can’t get it done, no one can. He is true to himself and the people he cares for. I am proud to call him my partner. And he’s also extremely funny…
Tom started with us as a working student (alongside his studies in Business Economics at Erasmus University in Rotterdam). This initially meant doing the fun and sometimes less fun tasks (although there are few of those at Klår). Time flies when you’re having fun! Over the four years, Tom has developed into a financing specialist and has become indispensable to us. We are incredibly happy with Tom. He provides the necessary updates on the Dutch and European football leagues every week, but he is mainly responsible for streamlining financing applications with various lenders. A serious task, as this ensures a relaxed process for all parties involved. A celebration! For you, for us, and for the lenders.
Mats Looking for an intelligent, humorous, and eager-to-learn student who also works pragmatically and accurately. Our wish list is demanding and almost impossible to fulfill in these times of ‘The war on talent’. But we have managed to do it again at Klår. Mats is not one to sit still. An adventurer, and we love that. As a model, he traveled the world at a young age. Upon returning home, he combined his studies with the board of his rowing club. He recently returned from six months of studying in Barcelona. Now it’s time for serious work! Besides finishing his studies (Business Administration at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam), Mats is getting his hands dirty. And we are happy about that. With Mats on board, we are even better able to offer you the experience of a relaxed mortgage process.
The BBQ guru and expat from South Africa. Wayne has fully established himself in our beautiful province of Friesland. That alone is a remarkable achievement. Wayne also has more than 25 years of experience in the financial services industry. He is truly a specialist. With Wayne on board, we are equipped to make any ‘complex matter’ simple.
Rain outside, the days are short… a gloomy autumn day. And then suddenly we found ourself on Carlijn’s website. The sun breaks through the clouds. ‘Making complex matter simple’, that sounds like Klår. ‘Personal’, ‘humble’ and ‘down to earth’? Could this be real?
We pick up the phone and call her right away. She had us at ‘Hello’. She talked about her experience as a (senior) Tax Consultant at PWC and USG Legal: an eye for detail and a go-getter. And she has lots of experience with expats. In Dutch we’d say ‘This is as clear (Klår) as sugar candy!’. Carlijn is on board! As of today, we can help you even better. Because now we are even better at tax advice, to make your life a bit easier!
