Managing Director
Charles Grayson
I am a native English speaker (from the USA) with more than 27 years’ experience in Real Estate including more than 17 years in The Netherlands. I graduated from Tufts University and lived in Boston, MA, West Hartford, CT and Washington, DC before moving to Amsterdam in 2003. After working for a year at a Dutch real estate agency focused on the Expat market while taking Dutch language classes and Inburgeringscursus, I moved on to Perfect Housing to set-up and create Perfect Real Estate where I was the Director. After more than 3 successful years and many satisfied clients, I decided to start my own agency in the heart of the Jordaan (in the center of Amsterdam) and in early 2008, 27 House Real Estate / 27 Huis Makelaars was born.
When I am not working, I love to play tennis, ski, travel and spend time with my family including 3 children and a dog.
I look forward to helping you buy, sell or rent your apartment and to ‘Helping you make all the right moves!’
Agent
Yvonne van Luijk
I have been active in real estate since 2000 and I completed my studies and certification in 2005.
I truly love my job, after all, what can be more fun than to help house hunters find the home of their dreams? I also love when a home owner who wants to sell his/her house, gives me their trust to sell their house for the best price! Both cases are of course a question of trust and confidence, but the best deal is made by the broker who will show a potential buyer how a property has worked for the previous owner and how it will work for them as well... These are among the main reasons I went into real estate.
In addition, I am active with managing Owners Associations (VvEs) throughout Amsterdam. In this way I am uniquely experienced and able to best advise clients about potential risks and issues in this area. In Amsterdam there is much to know about the laws and rights associated with property and I can guide a buyer to the ins and outs as well as tell them about their rights when joining a VvE when purchasing an apartment.
Since March 2012 I have been a proud team member of 27 Huis Real Estate and I look forward to helping you buy, sell or rent your property and to ‘Helping you make all the right moves!’

Roos Pham
My name is Roos Pham, born and raised in The Hague, but originally Vietnamese. I moved to Amsterdam in 2004 to start a degree in International business, for which I also studied in Paris for 6 months at the Pôle Universitaire Léonard de Vinci. Settling in a new country, looking for a home, speaking a different language: It was all part of a fantastic experience. The real estate world has always appealed to me, so I chose to do a Business Development internship at a real estate agency in Amsterdam, where I discovered the ins and outs of this business. After finishing my studies I took a job as a Rental Specialist at Perfect Housing where I gained a lot of experience with great pleasure. I exchanged the field service for the back office and started as a (Senior) Commercial Assistant after I had my 2 children. I took care of all rental documents, administration and was the contact person for tenants and landlords. In this position I learned a lot about tenancy law. I have been working as a Rental Specialist for 27 Huis Real Estate since 2015 and I am happy to represent our enthusiastic rental.
I look forward to ‘Helping you make all the right moves!’
Agent
Mark Zweers
Following dental school, psychology classes at the University of Amsterdam and two years of attending classes at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague I moved to Amsterdam to start my own dental practice in the city center.
After 20 years of working as a dentist and managing the practice the time had come to make a career change. I started taking courses in real estate and received my broker’s license early 2022. Being married to an expat living in Amsterdam, and having lived abroad myself I understand how important it is to feel at home at the place where you live. I take great pleasure in finding that situation for you and guide you on the way to the place that you love.
I look forward to ‘helping you make all the right moves’!

Anna de Groot
My name is Anna de Groot and I've been living in Amsterdam since 2014. After having lived in different places throughout the city, I decided to translate my passion for the Amsterdam housing market into a job in real estate. What I like so much about working in real estate is how diverse the job is.
After working for other companies, I've been working for 27 House Real Estate since 2021. The first years I worked as an office manager and I learned a lot, after that I started working as a real estate agent. I finished my studies for real estate expert and now I am studying to obtain my KRMT-certification. I would love to help you find your dream home!
In my free time I enjoy travelling the world, I have been to many beautiful places. I have travelled to almost 50 countries now and lived in the United States. Travelling really inspires me but also reminds me how nice it is to live in Amsterdam!
I look forward to ‘helping you make all the right moves’!
