Reviews
2023:
Buyer Dr. Eyckmanweg 24, Van Engelen: We had a very good journey with Joey, he was very friendly, and communicated very well with us. He has a good knowledge of the market, and was able to recommend different solutions as well. Overall, Joey is highly recommended, I know for future real estate projects, I will definitely contact Joey.
Sellers Emmalaan 8, Emmastad: Joey has supported us excellently in the sale of our property. The interaction with Joey was very pleasant and professional. He has a good knowledge of the market and made every effort to successfully close the sale. We are naturally very pleased that the sale was achieved in a short time (and for an excellent price). The handling and aftercare were also handled nice. Overall, we are very satisfied with his guidance and service. Above-average service level. In a future transaction, we will definitely contact Joey/C21 again. Thanks again!
Sellers Vista Royal U-6: Joey was of great support in selling our property. He is a pleasant person to work with and has guided us from the start until the end during the selling process. Joey has shown himself to be an experienced and result-driven professional who understands the needs of his client and is able to come up with solutions to make the deal. Moreover, even after the sales contract has been signed, he goes the extra mile by making sure that the agreement has been 100% fulfilled. We can highly recommend Joey van Oosten to anyone who wants to buy / sell his house.
Buyers The Shore #23, Blue Bay Golf Resort: Despite being the broker for the seller, we as buyers found Joey very personable, balanced, and available to answer any questions we had. We found the whole process went very smoothly in part to Joey’s guidance and involvement.
Seller/ Receiver - The Shore #23, Blue Bay Golf Resort: Joey is a pleasant realtor to work together with. He is on top of this file, quickly responsive, easily available, and cooperative. I would definitely recommend Joey!
Seller- Kaya Kooyman 26: Nothing under 10 and that was not hard! Joey earned them all. Service, knowledge, professionalism.
Sellers Villa 39, Villapark Flamboyan: Very positive! Joey knows what he does, has very good social skills, and is organized. You are in good hands with Joey!
Buyer Acropolis 40B: My experience with Joey van Oosten is a positive one. He strikes me as a serious competent and capable individual, living up to the promises he makes and helpful in any way that he can. If I ever need another realtor, he would be my first choice as a reliable and professional realtor on the island. I would recommend him.
Sellers Kaya Gamay 25, Damasco Resort: We had a wonderful experience with Joey. He supported us during the sale of our home in a very professional manner. The service was excellent. He always answered emails, WhatsApp messages, and calls within 24 hours. His market knowledge was very broad. He was very strategic in a good way and knew a lot about applicable laws related to our situation. Based on that, we were able to make the best decisions. He always searched for solutions that were beneficial for both parties, and he had a lot of patience. When he needed to be firm, he would do it, but when he needed to have more patience, he would also wait for the perfect timing. Therefore, he could protect us from bad decisions when our patience was over. We wished we had met Joey much earlier, as we had a very bad experience with another real estate agent before we met Joey. We would recommend Joey to everyone who is serious about selling or buying a home. Summarized, a very knowledgeable, kind, and patient person. He met all our expectations. Without his reliable service, we would probably still be selling our home.
Sellers Brakkeput Abou Luxury Villa 298: We have no complaints about his service. This is also evident from the sale of our house.
Buyer Villa 39, Villapark Flamboyan. ''Very good experience with Joey! He was on top of things with the notary for closing the deal. From the first contact until the transfer of the deed, Joey monitored the procedures. Communication between seller and buyer was always acceptable. We have gained a significant level of experience with realtors on the island over the last 6 years and we can definitely recommend Joey.''
Sellers - Sta. Catharina Resort Bungalow 10: very knowledgeable and friendly.
Buyer George Maduroweg 26: My experience with Joey van Oosten was very good, he knows the market and he takes his time to get to know you. Overall a great person and real estate agent. I would definitely recommend Joey.
Buyer Sta. Catharina Resort Bungalow 10: Very pleasant, quick responses per e-mail, WhatsApp or by phone. Makes even an effort to schedule an appointment for the property throughout the weekend. Clear communication on all questions. Good advice.
2022:
Buyer Castorweg 6, Zeelandia: ''Joey van Oosten is a professional with a pleasant personality. Even though the purchase of the property took 6 months (not on Joey van Oosten’ s part), he always kept me up to date and did his utmost best to speed up the process as much as he could! I highly recommend Joey van Oosten.’’
Buyer Caracasbaaiweg 394 apt. 4:He is a great guy. Helped us with everything and gives us a lot of good advice. We bought an apartment at Curacao. We live in the Netherlands, Joey helped us with everything, we are very thankful.
Buyer Emerald Condo 3C: Joey really helped me out in the search for a condo in Curacao. He has a good experience and is very helpful. He also knows the procedures well. I would highly recommend him.
Buyer Ledaweg House 88: I live in the UK and chose to invest in Curacao. I discussed my requirements, budget, and ideas with Joey. Joey then very quickly provided me with suitable properties with Century 21 plus also other real estate agents. Joey helped the sale and buying process with the other realtor in a very professional, open & constructive manner. The buying process was complicated and Joey understood, managed, and helped me significantly through the dead transfer. I would recommend him.
Buyer Velpstraat 18: It’s really nice to cooperate with Joey. Joey may be hard to get on the phone sometimes. Kind regards and hope to see him again at a new purchase.
Buyers Kaya Arembos 46, Grote Berg: A fantastic experience overall: Joey is approachable, amiable, always responsive, thinks along, etc. We had a last minute request for a viewing and he made it happen; he proactively thought along about the implications of us having to do parts of the process remotely; he connected us to the right person for the constructive assessment etc. This is not the first house I’m buying, but it’s definitely one of the most pleasant experience I’ve had with the realtor on the seller side. Keep that up Joey - an asset! In addition, would like to point out that Curacao is an illiquid, relatively in-transparent and highly relationship based market. It is impressive to see how Joey built up his position in this ecosystem. He is knowledgeable and connected - critical requirements for success. The only very minor thoughts on how to further strengthen as a professional relate to differentiating style by stakeholder. As a buyer, we were super interested, strongly focused on pragmatism and facts and under severe time pressure. Joey did wonderfully against that backdrop. At the same time, we could have toned down some of the ‘salesy’ elements (which are very important for other buyers btw). He had sold this one from the first contact :-)
2021:
Buyer - Sta. Catharina Resort Studio 17.'' A pleasant and highly professional experience as a first buyer on Curacao. ’’

2020:
Director real estate investor on Curacao.''Thanks to Century 21 and especially my compliments to Joey van Oosten. Joey van Oosten has ensured that through good photos and presentation most of my apartments (8 units) are rented out by him in a short time in the completely renovated building in. Thankyou.''
Mortgage specialist – RBC Royal Bank N.V. ''Joey has a nice personality. From the moment I met him, it felt like we already knew each other. He has great communication skills and is an asset to the Real Estate world on the island.''
Account Manager Special Assets – Orco Bank. ''First of all, Joey is really a person with a “drive”. When you ask him something, he is immediately “on it”. He is a professional, has good knowledge of the market /real estate, and has great communication/social skills. For us this is important and this is why we prefer to ask him if we need to sell something from the Special Assets portfolio. Clients tend to be difficult/resistant because of the situation of a forced sale. He has shown to be able to make them cooperate to viewings for example.''
Managing Director – Rabobank. ''Communication with Joey is very pleasant. Joey is doing his utmost to meet our and our client's expectations. Joey is persistent in difficult situations and achieves our clients to cooperate in these situations. Joey has a perfect knowledge of the market and we as Rabobank appreciate our business relation with Joey.''
