Welcome, I’m Ralf van Arkel — your personal mortgage advisor in Utrecht. With over ten years of experience in the field, I help you find a mortgage that truly fits your life and needs. My approach is personal, transparent, and completely independent. I don’t work for a bank — as an independent mortgage advisor, I work solely for you.

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. That’s why I take the time to truly understand your situation. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving on to your next home, looking to refinance your mortgage, or simply want to explore your financial options — I’ll provide clear, reliable advice you can count on.

What our clients say

Highly recommended!

We had a great experience working with Ralf as our mortgage adviser. From the very first meeting, he was clear, patient, and really took the time to understand our goals. We had done some homework ourselves and looked into different types of mortgages and Ralf always adjusted his explanation to fill in the gaps and make sure everything made sense to us. Thanks to his help, everything, from figuring out the right mortgage to getting bank approval, was sorted within just a few weeks. We really appreciated how approachable and professional he was. Highly recommended!
