A PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL OFFICE — THE HAGUE & LEIDEN REGION

Your residence, professionally overseen.

A private residential office serving The Hague & Leiden. One accountable point of contact for the care, administration and oversight of your home, with a team of craftsmen managing the execution — in Dutch or in English.

THE PRACTICE

Meijer Residential looks after private residences on behalf of their owners. Not as an estate agent, and not as a property manager, and not as a concierge service — but as the single professional who knows your property, watches over it when you are away, and answers for its condition. When a storm loosens a roof tile, when the municipality sends a notice, when a contractor needs a decision: there is one person who handles it and reports back to you.

WHO WE SERVE

Owners who cannot oversee their property daily.

  • Expats and diplomats with a home in the Netherlands.
  • Dutch nationals living or working abroad.
  • Owners of a second home that stands empty part of the year.
  • Business owners with too little time to manage everything themselves.
  • Owners undergoing a renovation while staying elsewhere.
  • Families who prefer a single point of contact over a series of separate parties.

What connects them is the need for one trusted person to hold the whole picture — and to represent their interests, and no one else's.

WHEN OWNERS ENGAGE US

Do you recognize any of these situations?

  • You live in Singapore while your home in Wassenaar stands empty, and you want to know someone checks it regularly.
  • Your renovation in Oegstgeest continues while you work in London, and decisions must be made that you cannot make on site.
  • Your insurer requires periodic oversight of an unoccupied home.
  • The municipality sends correspondence with a deadline while you are abroad.
  • A contractor needs a decision on Friday afternoon, and you are unreachable.
  • You simply want one point of contact that oversees everything, so you no longer have to think about it.

In each of these cases, Meijer Residential takes over — and keeps you informed without burdening you.

THE PRINCIPAL

Duije Meijer

Project manager & developer · Founder of Meijer Residential

With years of experience as a project manager and developer of complex building projects, I know what is involved in caring for a home — and where things go wrong if no one guards the whole picture. I represent the owner exclusively: I have no interest in a sale and take no fee from a contractor. What I offer is a trained eye, a single point of contact, and a carefully built network of local craftsmen whom I select and manage myself.

OUR SERVICES

Three ways we care for your home

Residence Watch

The peace of mind that your home is regularly checked and that you always know its condition. Periodic oversight with a written photo report, one trusted point of contact when access is needed, and the administration that comes with a home — insurance, utilities, municipal taxes — taken off your hands.

Owner's Representation

During a renovation or new build, someone guards your interests at the table: attending site meetings, alert to change orders before they cost you, and running a handover inspection so defects are identified before you sign.

Acquisition Support

Before you buy: the building-side judgement of an experienced project manager. An honest picture of the condition, realistic repair estimates, and clarity on what you are taking on. We represent you, the buyer — never the seller.

A NEW PRACTICE

Meijer Residential is a young practice, intentionally small-scale. I take on the first owners personally and work with a limited number of homes at a time — because this work is only good if done with absolute attention. Those who choose Meijer Residential now will receive my full commitment from the very first conversation.

A residence is rarely just a building. It holds a family's time, and often a long-held plan. We treat it with the seriousness that deserves.
