Client stories

We can tell you all about our services, and we love to do that. But we would like to let our clients tell it for us. 

Schoeman has performed various activities for us. Firstly, finding and hiring a new location where we wanted to establish our 2 companies in 1 location, and later they assisted us well in renegotiating the expiring lease contracts.

The result of the service was in the first place an excellent location for the continuation of our activities and in 2nd and 3rd place better conditions and more favorable conditions of the existing lease.

We chose Schoeman because we received a recommendation from our network at the time and we will absolutely recommend them ourselves as well! It has always been a pleasure to work with Schoeman and they have taken a lot of work out of our hands. We will certainly use their services again if we have new questions.

In recent years, Marnix Schoeman has proven to be a reliable partner in the search, finding and contracting of real estate for our organization. For 5 years we have been looking for real estate where we can apply our PLUS working concept. The real estate must also fit with our sustainability ambitions, both the building and the location of the building.

Marnix has acted as my advisor in the real estate world for all projects in this time. The drive and approach of Schoeman, only acting as a tenant partner, indicates that you really have a consultant next to you who doesn’t have a double agenda. That is very important in a world of contracts, parties, changes and of course a world where a lot of money is involved. The correct and honest way of working of Marnix suits us.

Witteveen + Bos and Schoeman consultants have strengthened each other in recent years and that has led to attractive, suitable, affordable and above all the right real estate for us.

In 2012, Pipoos was taken over by the Swedish family company Panduro. The strongly outdated store concept had to be revived. The 33 stores in particular were in dire need of a makeover.

Before starting, Pipoos / Panduro called in Schoeman consultants to monitor all contracts and locations together with the Managing Director in the Netherlands. This led to:

• 2 new store locations in cities where Pipoos was not yet active;
• 8 new locations in cities where Pipoos was active (moved to another building);
• 5 store closures in poor shopping areas;
• 18 renegotiations that led to an extension at the existing location.

As Managing Director I have worked very closely with Marnix Schoeman for more than 6 years. Marnix and his organization in Amsterdam are very skilled with a large network. Marnix knows how to realize the best for his client in a calm way, without jeopardizing the relationship between client and landlord. In addition, Marnix and his brother Hugo are 2 first-class guys with a fantastic company. They are nice and driven. I have worked with them with great pleasure.

Partly thanks to the excellent work of Schoeman consultants, we have been able to bring our organization where it is today.

We needed to find a new office in Amsterdam and had a limited budget and other specific requirements and constraints. Schoeman did an excellent job understanding our needs, priorities, and concerns and generated several options, one of which was perfect. The whole team is excited about the new office. Schoeman was recommended to us by someone we trust because they are honest and efficient. I would say the same and would definitely recommend their services to others.

When we were looking for a new location for our company in 2013, one of our members tipped us Schoeman consultants. Our first lease contract was finished and our company was about to expand. Hugo helped us to find suitable premises through our Program of Requirements. In addition, he negotiated for us with the landlord, so that we received a suitable rental price with the best conditions. We, as young entrepreneurs, would never have achieved what Schoeman consultants achieved.

Now, 5 years later, our contract is ending again. Again we are assisted by Schoeman consultants, this time by René. He is doing the negotiations for a new lease contract at our current location in line with our wishes. For an expert in the field of real estate, we would recommend Schoeman consultants to everyone!

We asked Hugo for help with finding a property in the Breda area. We were looking for a relatively large hall with a smaller office, where our services were central. With these parameters, Hugo was able to compile a list of properties, which greatly accelerated our choice process.

His experience and insight helped us to make an assessment based on the right factors, Hugo also represented our interests in contract negotiations. We have chosen Schoeman consultants because we believe that as a user of a rental property we do not necessarily understand the market of commercial properties. We have therefore searched for a partner who could help us with that. The best voice in the business …

We have already recommended Schoeman consultants to one of our clients and will certainly do so again.
