Makkinga had already been a household name in the Lochem region for over 20 years when Jenne de Haan and his colleague Marcel Schippers joined the company in April 2011. Under the name De Haan Schippers, we have continued to build an excellent reputation. Together we have a wealth of experience in all facets of real estate, and we know the local and regional market like no other. The affiliation with Baerz & Co underlines our position in the highest market segment in our working area.
The town of Lochem and its surroundings, in the northern part of the Achterhoek in the eastern Netherlands, is known as a lovely place to live. The village of Gorssel is situated on the IJssel, the most beautiful river in the Netherlands, halfway between the charming old Hanseatic towns of Deventer and Zutphen. From about a century ago, Lochem and Gorssel became popular with wealthy entrepreneurs who wanted to build new residences in a pleasant natural environment. The many beautiful villas and country houses in our working area date from that period. This rural and wooded part of the country, with towns and villages such as Borculo, Diepenheim, Ruurlo and Vorden, offers a quiet residence full of natural beauty within travelling distance from the hustle and bustle in the Randstad.
Our clients choose the real estate agent that suits them, as each of us has a personal style, specialties and areas of interest. Jenne is sporty, cheerful and warm-hearted. He puts the customer first, and people at ease. His approach is based on genuine personal involvement. To Jenne, trust is the most important success factor in real estate, and exactly where De Haan Schippers distinguishes itself. "We stand for a service that really does take care of everything, and our added value is clearly reflected in the results and customer satisfaction."
