About us
Eline Hut
Careerwise
After a career in the travel industry, I ended up in the financial services industry 25 years ago. I have seen many different sides of it, from investment advice to management, but my passion has been in mortgage advice, especially for Expats. Instead of guiding Dutch people to travel abroad, I’m currently helping people from abroad on their “journey” to their home in The Netherlands.
I worked at ABN AMRO for 25 years. The last 7 years at International Clients. Here I have helped hundreds of Expats working for many organizations. I worked at our in-house offices at EPO and Shell. I am specialized in the net income and working conditions of employees of International Organizations such as EPO, EMA, ESTEC, EUROPOL and all the other International Organizations.
I have always enjoyed the personal contact and interaction that comes with working with clients, and I believe that this is an essential element of providing excellent service. That is one of the main reasons why I have decided to start my own business.
Lifewise
As the daughter of a Shell employee, I have moved regularly, but have been living since 1995 in the historic fortified town of Brielle under the shadow of Rotterdam.
In my free time I like to walk in the forest or on the beach and do sports (because it’s healthy…).
My hobbies include visiting my favourite football club to watch live matches and cheering on my team. I also love cooking and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. In my spare time, I enjoy following Formula 1 racing and keeping up with the latest developments in the sport. Whether I’m at the stadium, in the kitchen, or following a race, I always find a way to indulge my passions and have fun. I don’t travel enough but getting to know other countries and cultures is great fun.
Peter Goudappel
Careerwise
I have spent the last 15 years of my career at ABN AMRO, working in various roles within ABNAMRO bank. In total 20 years of experience in the financial industry, gaining knowledge along the way. As a mortgage advisor, one of the most rewarding aspects of my job is working with international clients. I take great pride in helping people from different cultures and backgrounds achieve their homeownership goals. I understand that international clients may have unique needs and concerns, and I am committed to providing the highest level of service and support to ensure that their mortgage process goes as smoothly as possible. I am knowledgeable about the specific regulations and requirements that may apply to international clients, and I am always ready to go the extra mile to help them succeed. After many years of working for others, I have decided to branch out on my own and start my own business. I am excited to take this new step in my career and to have the opportunity to serve my clients in an even more personalized and focused way.
Lifewise
I was born in Indonesia and raised in The Netherlands. At this moment I live in a small town near the sea with my family and our Beagle. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially walking on the beach. I also enjoy playing point and click adventure games, which I find to be a great way to relax and unwind after a busy day. I love making family videos and composing electronic music in my spare time. I am proud to say that my two daughters are now in high school. It seems like only yesterday that they were starting kindergarten, and now they are well on their way to becoming young adults. Overall, I am very grateful for the rich and diverse experiences that my background and my life in the Netherlands have given me, and I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow.
European Patent Office
After both having worked for many years in the in-house ABN AMRO office in EPO (European Patent Office) in Rijswijk, it was time in January 2023 to start our own business as independent mortgage advisors in collaboration with Wouters and van der Velde. We are familiar with all the international organizations, net income of EPO employees, your allowances, the different types of employment contracts and the possibilities to obtain a mortgage, the EPO Homeloan, the pension schemes such as the Salary Saving Plan and the other employment conditions. Therefore, we understand these extra benefits and conditions. In comparison to other consultancy firms, we can use our knowledge and experience for your mortgage application.
We can fully assist you in applying for, increasing and/or changing your mortgage. We can still offer ABN AMRO mortgages, but also, if this suits your situation better, many other providers.
We look forward helping you with your mortgage affairs!
How we work
INTAKE
First, we have a free consultation with you to discuss your financial situation and mortgage goals. This involves reviewing and assessing your current financial situation. Your financial inventory includes reviewing your income, savings, debts, and knowledge and experience and eventual history with mortgages and other financial products.
RESEARCH
Once we have gathered all of the necessary information from you, we will carefully analyze it to determine your financial standing and your ability to purchase a suitable home.
Based on this analysis, we will come up with our best recommendations and present them to you. This will give you a good understanding of your options and help you make an informed decision about buying a house.
PROPOSITION
Obtaining a mortgage proposition is an important step in the process of buying a home. We will work closely with you to ensure that you feel confident and comfortable with your mortgage decision. Once we have all of the required information, we will find the best mortgage product to meet your needs. This includes comparing rates and terms from different lenders to find the most favorable option. We understand that navigating the mortgage process can be overwhelming and stressful, especially for those who are new to a country or unfamiliar with financing their dreamhouse. That's why we are here to help.
FOLLOW UP
As you begin your journey as a homeowner, it's important to stay in contact with us to ensure that everything is running smoothly with your mortgage. This may include making timely mortgage payments, updating your contact information, and staying current with any changes to your financial situation.
By staying in contact with us, you can avoid potential issues and ensure that your mortgage is working for you. We are here to support you and answer any questions you may have as you navigate homeownership.
Thank you for choosing us for your mortgage needs. We look forward to continuing to serve you in the future."

In die tijd stond ze altijd voor ons klaar met haar advies, uiteindelijk is het allemaal goed gekomen! Mede door het snelle handelen en het netwerk van Eline!
Bij de adviseurs van de bank zelf ben je slechts een nummer, wat bij Eline absoluut niet het geval is!
Ik raad haar daarom ook aan iedereen aan voor een advies op maat!
Nogmaals Dank, groetjes de Familie van Santen
Fortunately, our Makelaar have recommended Peter. From there on, it was like all of our problems regarding mortgage application disappeared. Working with Peter is a great experience for us, he explains clearly every single detail and constantly calls / updates us with the progress of our mortgage application. Finally, our mortgage application have been successfully approved by the Bank!
Well, aside from Peter’s excellent/impressive technical knowledge, i must say his positive Character shines the most.
On behalf of our Family, Thank you Peter!
Gracias Peter !

Our makelaar recommended Eline as a mortgage advisor. Eline was since day one SO GREAT with us. We had many questions, planned online meetings and she answered everything and went above and beyond to make sure we understood everything.
After getting an offer accepted she got straight to work and worked her magic to get us a mortgage very quickly. The mortgage process with Eline was perfect. Smooth, clear, we couldn’t have wished for better advice.
Thank you Eline!!!!!!
Peter was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had and also went above and beyond to ensure I fully understood all aspects of the mortgage process.
Thanks to Peter, I was able to secure a mortgage that perfectly suits my needs in record time. He truly made a complex process feel effortless and I am very grateful for his assistance.
I highly recommend Peter to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, helpful and friendly mortgage advisor.
We are delighted with the service provided by Eline (and Peter), who was extremely professional and efficient. With patience and clarity, she guided us through our first house purchase in the Netherlands; we would be happy to work together again for the next one!
