Makelaar is the Dutch word for realtor and they seem to be the Starbucks of The Netherlands.... there is 1 on almost every corner! Just within a 5 minute walk in 1 direction from our apartment, in our tiny little subsection of The Hague, there are probably 10 realtors. I'm trying to figure out where the inventory is coming from to support so many realtor offices. You'd think every apartment/house in The Hague was for sale.
Then again, maybe they're like many other businesses I've seen here... no one ever seems to visit and yet they are able to remain open. But that's for another post.
