Meer over Tom

Tom Metselaars

Founder

Tom is the founding father of our office. This epicurean was born and raised in Nijmegen but as he wanted to live closer to his work, he moved to Eindhoven where he started his career in the real estate business with Makelaarskantoor Brabant in 1970. In 1981, he and his wife Heleen decided to start their own business from home. And the rest is history. Tom is retired now but he is still a highly respected figure in the regional real estate community and enjoys maintaining his huge network. His favourite hobbies are gardening and travelling, and you may see him on his bicycle nearly every day. Still, the biggest achievement of this keen Rolling Stones fan must have been the cycling trip from Nuenen to St. Tropez, on his own and at the age of 70... we will definitely not be able to copy that!

Mathijs

Owner

As a little boy of four, Mathijs always tagged along when his father had to do house valuations. They used to go on Saturday mornings, driving around the area in the big brown Volvo 240 to appraise several houses. So we can safely say that Mathijs has the real estate business is in his DNA. Despite his initial studies in Political Sciences and Communication, his fate had unknowingly been sealed – after his career at Nationale Nederlanden and Het Bouwfonds, Mathijs ultimately joined the family business. His main reason for doing so was that “the real estate business is not about houses but about people”. Mathijs married his childhood sweetheart from around the block and is a proud father of three sons. He likes to spend his free time in Spain or zigzagging from bunker to water feature on the golf course. Mathijs is also an excellent networker and hardly knows how many clubs he is a member of, but that's how it goes in this branch. His specialist field is the high-end market plus the “special commissions”.

Linda

commercial employee

Linda, her husband and their two sons are very happy residents of Geldrop. It is safe to say that this lady is a true Brabant culinary enthusiast. Her main hobby is cooking after which she enjoys nothing more than sharing the results of her culinary experiments with her family. It will come as no surprise that the kitchen is Linda's heart of the home. But she enjoys more than these simple little things in life. Other favourite pastimes are beautiful walks and going to rock concerts or a music festival. Travelling is also important for Linda and trips don’t have to be that long. Even a weekend trip or a day out can fully and happily recharge Linda's energy. After working for another real estate agency, Linda joined our company five years ago. Linda is our rock within our commercial back-office three days a week. ‘Nothing can drive our Linda up the wall’, is what we like to say. No matter how hectic the business is, she always remains our calm and unshakeable beacon.

Alex van Gisbergen

Real estate agent KRMT

Alex van Gisbergen has been with our agency for three years now. After gaining a great deal of experience with a larger real estate agency, he decided that his skills could best be used in the higher end of the housing market. And so the transfer to our agency was a logical one. Alex is married and the proud father of a son. He and his family enjoy living in one of the nice neighbourhoods in Son en Breugel, although having a beautifully converted farmhouse with some land is still one of Alex’ dreams for the future. He enjoys spending part of his spare time on his road bike or driving around in his classic Mini Cooper. His number one favourite holiday destination is Italy but he also likes to go on short trips in the Netherlands.

Annet is only 50 years young and is known as the walking hard drive of our agency. She still knows exactly which client bought what, when, etc., even if it was ten years ago.

Her and her husband met at her former employer (Philips) and she is the proud mother of a son (22) and a daughter (19). She moved to Brabant nearly 25 years ago but like all the Magi, she hails from the East – in her case from the Dutch Achterhoek region. When she’s not working, Annet enjoys singing with the Midòre Choir in Nuenen and Pop Choir Kolok in Helmond. Annet's other favourite pastimes are travelling and going on holidays, but she is also a keen volunteer within her parish in Nuenen.

Despite his young age of 43, Lambert Vermeulen has been working as a real estate agent for 20 years. After spending many years with the biggest estate agent in Eindhoven, he joined our agency 9 years ago. Lambert is always doing something, even during his holidays – diving, surfing, snowboarding, you name it. Lambert’s roots can be found in ‘Alvershool’ and ‘Boord’, but he now lives in Eindhoven. His wife hails from Great Britain and not only do they raise their two sons to be perfectly bilingual but Lambert speaks posher English than Prince Charles. When it comes to motorcycles, Lambert can tell you even more about them than about selling houses. You can even wake him up in the middle of the night to go for an adventurous drive through the Belgian Ardennes. His long-standing experience as a real estate broker makes him a solid rock in a turbulent market. For inexperienced prospective buyers, Lambert is the perfect sparring partner and older clients appreciate his endless patience.

Kim Metselaars

Owner

After an extensive career with Rabobank, Kim has been with our agency for many years now. She makes sure that everything is running smoothly behind the scenes, like payments, taxes, personnel, etc. We can safely say that Kim does it all, apart from selling houses. Kim is married (to Mathijs) and mother of three sons (16, 13 and 9), and she thoroughly enjoys the adolescent age. Her family is Kim's number one priority and in her spare time, she likes to go on walks with her dog Sjors or drink coffee with her friends. But besides her family, Kim’s passion is Spain! You can find her enjoying the Spanish lifestyle whenever she can – tapas, vino, and lots of sunshine and social life. Preferably with her family and even Golden Retriever Sjors would have quite the number of frequent flyer miles (if dogs could have their own account).

Yves Lamé

RMT real estate agent

Yves Lamé was one of the youngest real estate agents from our region ever to take the oath as a registered broker. After having completed a few hundred transactions by now, we can easily call him a “young hand” in this business. Yves has lived his whole life in Heeze, where he and his girlfriend recently finished the construction of their new home, for which he did a lot himself, so he knows what it takes. Very practical when you're a broker. And they are very happy to be done with all the building work as Yves is also becoming a father soon. During the weekends, we often find him at the basketball court where he trains the local youth or plays himself. His biggest sporty achievement, though, must be climbing the Alpe D’Huez on his road bike.

Joop

Multitasker

Joop is 74 years old and the most experienced of all our staff. He is also Kim’s father. Joop was born and raised in Amsterdam-Noord, but we're not holding that against him. Joop speaks perfectly understandable Dutch... until he meets another person from Amsterdam – then we’re in for some good old Amsterdam slang! Joop spent the first 40 years of his career in Her Majesty's service as a driving examiner in the army. And he can literally drive anything, whether it has 2, 4 or 18 wheels or a continuous track. He has been our Jack of all trades for many years and is also responsible for placing the For Sale signs. Or as we like to say: Joop is our Multimedia Director. In his spare time, Joop is an active member of the Sint Antonius Schutterij (civic guards) in the Eeneind area and he enjoys going on holiday with his caravan to the south of Spain for a couple of weeks per year.

Historie

Thuis in Brabant

Fusce elementum massa odio, non consequat dolor rutrum et. Nunc lacinia mauris at magna lacinia dictum. Praesent in finibus nulla. Nullam ac urna vel nisi auctor mollis

Oprichter Tom Metselaars begon zijn loopbaan vanaf 1967 in de verzekeringen op een assurantiekantoorkantoor in zijn thuisstad Nijmegen. Al snel werd duidelijk dat zijn hart veel meer bij de makelaardij lag dan bij Assurantiën. Vanwege een concurrentiebeding mocht hij echter niet als makelaar in Nijmegen werken en verhuisde daarom in 1970 naar Nuenen. Hij kon namelijk in Eindhoven beginnen als assistent-makelaar bij het toenmalige ‘makelaarskantoor Brabant’.
Na het behalen van de benodigde vakdiploma’s werd hij door de rechtbank beëdigd als register makelaar-taxateur. Na enkele jaren als kantoordirecteur kwam in 1981 dan de verwachte stap naar het zelfstandig ondernemerschap. Ondanks dat de rente in die tijd bijna 13% was en de woningmarkt bijna stil stond, ging het met het bedrijf prima.
Dat was ook de reden dat echtgenote Heleen al snel stopte met haar werk als logopediste om mee te helpen in de zaak. Meer dan 25 jaar werkten ze succesvol samen met hun eerste personeelslid Elly, vanuit het kantoor aan huis in Nuenen-Zuid.

In 2006 kwam er een grote verandering door het toetreden van zoon Mathijs. Na een aantal sales en marketing functies bij Nationale Nederlanden en het Bouwfonds kwam hij er ook achter dat het leuker is om mensen aan een woning te helpen dan de premie voor de brandverzekering te berekenen. Een kleine zes maanden later kwam ook zijn echtgenote Kim het team versterken.

Het bedrijf groeide hard ondanks de woningmarktcrisis en in 2009 werden de portefeuilles van twee collega makelaars overgenomen. Ook volgde de eerste verhuizing naar een nieuw kantoorpand op de Vincent van Goghstraat in het centrum van Nuenen. Dat was ook wel nodig, want inmiddels bestond het team uit 6 personen.
In 2013 volgde de overname van het kantoor Vollenbroek Makelaars uit Eindhoven. Een gespecialiseerd bedrijf in exclusieve woningen wat als zusterbedrijf van Metselaars makelaardij de top van de woningmarkt bewerkt.
In 2015 volgde een nieuwe stap. De verhuizing naar het nieuwe pand op de huidige locatie aan de Berg in Nuenen. Vanuit deze fijne werkplek helpen we inmiddels met 9 medewerkers, onze opdrachtgevers bij het realiseren van hun woonwensen.
Een kopersmarkt, een vette crisis, de huidige verkopersmarkt. We hebben het allemaal zien gebeuren en zijn trots, dat we in alle tijden het vertrouwen van onze klanten hebben gevoeld.
Wat de toekomst ons gaat brengen zal de tijd leren. Maar we zien hem met vertrouwen tegemoet. En wie weet? Staat de volgende generatie makelaars al weer klaar.

"Wij veranderen nogal eens van woning en hebben al drie maal een huis verkocht. Dat is in de huidige woningmarkt niet zo moeilijk. Maar … wij hebben ook andere tijden meegemaakt en steeds heeft Metselaars makelaardij ons met succes geholpen. Waarom: kennis van de markt, punctueel, groot bestand aan aspirant kopers en vooral ‘plezierig om mee te werken’. Zakelijk professionaliteit koppelen aan een persoonlijk contact is voor ons ‘de beste combinatie’ gebleken voor een ‘Plezierig resultaat’!"

"In een overspannen markt is het Metselaars makelaardij binnen zes weken gelukt om ons eigen huis voor een topprijs te verkopen en een geweldige nieuwe stek te vinden waar we het enorm naar onze zin hebben. Ondanks dit korte tijdsbestek is het Mathijs toch gelukt om alles goed voor te bereiden, helder toe te lichten en prima af te wikkelen. Complimenten!"
