Real estate agent Rob Wassenaar thinks it is a good thing that Nieuwegein is tackling this rental problem. He also has a tip, one that focuses more on his fellow real estate agents and the purchasing sector. “For example, if someone wants to buy a house with cash, then you have to be a little more careful. And if someone buys a house worth three thousand euros, but wants you to put down two and a half on paper, then of course you cannot cooperate with that. You have as broker has a gatekeeper position, we must report such a situation.”
