Kenneth Leenders -

Kenneth Leenders was born on St Martin, a small island of the Dutch Antilles where he lived for almost 8 years. At that point his parents decided to move back to the Netherlands to give Kenneth and his two younger brothers a chance on better education.

In 2012 Kenneth was an intern for Amsterdam Expat Services, which was an initiative of Expat Mortgages and several other partners. After completing the internship successfully, Expat Mortgages decided to continue the cooperation with Kenneth during the last phase of his study. In 2014 Kenneth obtained his ‘Bachelor of Science’ and from that point Kenneth was a full-time employee of Expat Mortgages.

Currently he is following the Executive Program for Business Studies at the University of Amsterdam and since 1 January 2018 he became CEO and Partner of Expat Mortgages.

In addition to his school and work, Kenneth is someone who loves sports and really likes to be outside. His favorite leisure activities include travelling and being among the important people in his life.

The #1 company for financing your home abroad.

Expat Mortgages is a team of independent mortgage brokers for expats who want to buy a house in the Netherlands. Our company already exists for more than 10 years and we have provided mortgage advice to thousands of people from different nationalities. We only work with expats and this allowed us to become a specialist in what we do.

What do we provide?

Our advisors will guide you through the process of arranging a mortgage. All communication (either verbal or written) will be in English and we will make sure you receive a translated version of the mortgage offer that is provided by bank.

Our advisors are very flexible and therefore it will also be possible to meet outside office hours. Any necessary communication with the bank (or other third parties involved) will be handled by us, which contributes to the realization of a stress-free process for our customers. Once the mortgage is approved it is time to sign the official deeds at the notary. We will make sure that a sworn interpreter will be present at the signing, but your Expat Mortgages advisor will also be present just in case.

Even after the process has come to an end we actively keep in touch with our customers. Our dedicated aftersales adviser Selina van Beek will be available for any mortgage-related questions that come up!

 ** An extra service we provide for all our customers is arranging the provisional tax rebate (for the mortgage related costs) in the first year of financing, free of charge.

Expat Mortgages has several offices throughout the Netherlands and as of November 2017 we are also very proud to announce that we have a dedicated advisor for Eindhoven and the surrounding area.

The initial meeting with one of our advisors is free of charge and we can either schedule the meeting at our office or a location you prefer!
