Expansion of housing portfolio, Amsterdam office

5 December 2023

Following a tender, vb&t Vastgoedmanagement has been selected as a partner for Amvest for the management of the residential portfolio in North Holland. This will expand and strengthen the existing collaboration with Amvest.

Distinction in quality according to Amvest

Rick Kalksma, Portfolio Manager at Amvest: ‘vb&t has demonstrated that it continuously invests in improving its services. vb&t distinguishes itself with its professionalism and quality of service. This gives us great confidence to expand our collaboration with this portfolio in North Holland.’.

Digitalisation of the customer journey

Strengthening cooperation provides the opportunity to work together from dedicated teams to optimise service provision. To achieve this, investment will be made in the ICT infrastructure and the further digitisation of the tenant's customer journey to, on the one hand, increase efficiency and, on the other hand, improve tenant satisfaction. It is not for nothing that vb&t's motto is: automate and digitise what can be done, and deploy employees where this adds value.

All tenants will be provided with the vb&t app, which will enable them to arrange housing matters more easily and quickly.

  • Easy and quick contact with vb&t
  • Simple submission of repair requests
  • Direct access to important property information

Investing in a long-term partnership

The deployment of dedicated teams also makes it possible to improve the quality of service provision for the client. A lot is changing with regard to governance, changing laws and regulations, data management, and ESG. This long-term collaboration offers opportunities to take the next steps in this area as well.

In total, this amounts to over 2,200 homes, located in North Holland, which will be managed from 1 January and 1 February 2024. vb&t will be responsible for both management and rental. This will be carried out by a dedicated team from the Amsterdam office, bringing the total number of managed properties to over 7,000.

Eric Prevoo, Director of vb&t Vastgoedmanagement bv: ‘Strengthening the partnership with Amvest is not only a great reward for the current team, but for all employees and the confidence in our organisation. It is also a huge incentive to take the next steps in improving services across the entire chain, from investor to our tenants.’
