Business Model & Value Proposition Leco Vastgoed is a **direct real estate investment firm** (directe opkoper). We buy residential, commercial, and rented properties throughout the Netherlands and parts of Belgium directly using our own capital. Unlike traditional real estate brokers (makelaars), Leco Vastgoed does not list properties on the open market or look for third-party buyers. Instead, we act as the end buyer. ### Key Differentiators for Sellers: 1. **No Brokerage Fees (Geen courtage)**: Since we are the buyer, the seller does not pay any broker commission (saving 1.5% to 2% of the sales price). 2. **We Pay Notary Fees (Kosten Koper)**: In almost all transactions, we cover the notary transfer fees, land registry fees, and contract preparation costs. 3. **No Financing Clauses (Zonder voorbehoud van financiering)**: We buy with our own liquid capital. Once the contract is signed, the sale is 100% guaranteed. No risk of the buyer's mortgage application failing. 4. **Flexible Transfer Date (Opleverdatum naar wens)**: The transfer can take place within a few days or up to 12 months in the future, adapting fully to the seller's schedule. 5. **Buy "As-Is" (In huidige staat)**: No cleaning, styling, or repairs needed. We purchase properties with deferred maintenance, rubbish, or structural defects. 6. **Cash Advance Options (Aanbetaling mogelijk)**: If the seller needs liquid funds immediately (e.g., to secure a new home), we can coordinate a secure down payment after the purchase agreement is finalized. --- ## 3. Deep Dive into Expertises ### 1. Particuliere Woningverkoop (Private Home Sales) For homeowners wishing to sell their private house or apartment without listing it on Funda. Ideal for sellers wanting to avoid dozens of viewings, open houses, or the risk of double monthly mortgage payments. We visit once, evaluate the property, and present a net offer. ### 2. Urgente Verkoop (Urgent Real Estate Sales) Fast-tracked purchases for urgent situations: - **Preventing Foreclosure (Executieveiling voorkomen)**: We can purchase the home and settle debts with the bank within days to prevent a forced public auction, securing the seller's credit rating. - **Relocation or Emigration**: Streamlined process allowing transfer of funds before moving abroad. - **Financial Distress**: Rapid cash injection. ### 3. Zakelijk & B2B Vastgoed (Commercial Real Estate) Direct purchase of commercial properties (kantoren, winkels, bedrijfshallen, beleggingspanden). We also offer **Sale-and-Leaseback** constructs, allowing business owners to unlock the equity in their commercial building and continue operating there as a tenant. ### 4. Verhuurde Panden & Kamers (Rented Properties & Portfolios) We buy tenanted properties (residential houses, portfolios, student housing, apartment blocks) in their current state. - **Respecting Tenant Rights**: Existing lease agreements are fully respected and transferred to us. - **No Eviction Stress**: The seller does not need to evict tenants, which is legally complex in the Netherlands. We manage the tenant relations directly. ### 5. Exclusief Vastgoed (High-End & Silent Sales) Silent sales (stille verkoop) for exclusive estates and luxury villas. We offer complete discretion. There are no public advertisements, signs in the yard, or online listings. We either buy the property directly or place it quietly with high-net-worth private investors. ### 6. Makelaardij & Advies (Brokerage & Advisory) In cases where a direct sale to Leco Vastgoed is not the best path for the client, Léon Janssen offers traditional brokerage services. We help clients list their property on the open market, handle viewings, and optimize the sales price through traditional marketing. --- ## 4. Transaction Workflow (4 Steps) 1. **Inquiry & Briefing**: The seller submits their postal code, house number, and contact info. We perform a preliminary digital search and call to schedule a visit. 2. **Property Inspection**: Léon Janssen visits the property to assess the condition. This is a one-time visit. No preparation or cleanup is required by the seller. 3. **Net Cash Offer (Within 48 Hours)**: We present a definitive, 100% net offer. The price offered is the exact amount the seller receives in their bank account (minus any existing mortgage payoff). The offer is valid for 30 days and is completely non-binding. 4. **Contract & Payout at Notary**: If accepted, a certified purchase contract is drawn up. The transaction is handled by a recognized civil-law notary (notaris). Payout is guaranteed on the transfer date selected by the seller. --- ## 5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ### Q1: Do you pay the full 100% market value? **A**: No. Because we take on the market risk, pay for all transaction costs (notary, land registry, transfer tax), and invest in eventual renovations/maintenance, our offer is typically slightly below the absolute peak price you might get on the open market after months of viewings. However, because our offer is 100% net (no broker fees, no notary fees, no styling), the net payout under the line is highly competitive, combined with absolute certainty and speed. ### Q2: Are there any hidden fees or costs? **A**: None. The valuation, offer, and paperwork are entirely free. We also pay the notary fees for the transfer of ownership. ### Q3: How fast can the transfer take place? **A**: If required, the transfer can take place at the notary within a few business days, provided the notary has completed the standard legal checks. If the seller needs more time, we can schedule the transfer date up to 12 months in the future. ### Q4: Do I need to clean or renovate the property? **A**: No. We buy the property "as-is", including deferred maintenance, obsolete installations, rubbish, or structural defects. ### Q5: What happens if I reject your offer? **A**: Nothing. Our offer is completely free and non-binding. If you decline, there are no charges or hard feelings. ### Q6: Do you buy properties throughout the Netherlands? **A**: Yes, we operate nationwide across all provinces in the Netherlands and select regions in Belgium. ### Q7: Can I get a cash advance? **A**: Yes. In urgent situations, we can arrange an advance payment (voorschot) or a down payment via the notary escrow account once the purchase agreement is legally signed. ### Q8: How do you handle tenanted properties? **A**: We take over the existing tenancy agreements exactly as they are. Tenants do not need to move out, and their legal rights under Dutch tenant protection law are fully preserved. --- - [Core Overview file](https://lecovastgoed.nl/llms.txt) - [Live Reviews](https://lecovastgoed.nl/reviews) - [Contact Page](https://lecovastgoed.nl/contact)
