About TdHG

A mortgage is the key to a new chapter

At Tromp de Haas & Grijpstra we believe a mortgage is more than a financial obligation. It's the key to a new chapter in your life. That's why we don't just look at the numbers, but above all at the possibilities behind your story.

Every day we meet people who have been told something isn't possible. Entrepreneurs with a complex company structure. Expats who fall between different systems. Buyers with several sources of income. Or clients who were turned down by a bank before. That's exactly where our strength lies.

TdHG. For people who should expect more from mortgage advice.

Who we are

Henk-Jan Grijpstra

Henk-Jan Grijpstra

Mortgage adviser

After working for years at a major bank and at one of the largest online mortgage brokers in the Netherlands, in various roles as investment adviser and mortgage adviser, I realised I wanted to do things differently.

I didn't want to use the knowledge and experience I gained over those years just to process mortgage applications, but above all to truly help people move forward. Not thinking in standard solutions, but looking at what is possible.

In the The Hague and Rotterdam region I've guided entrepreneurs, expats and private clients for years in a wide range of situations. It's precisely the more complex cases that give me energy. Entrepreneurs with several companies, expats who want to buy a home in the Netherlands, or clients who were turned down elsewhere. That's where my strength and expertise lie.

The best moment? When everything is settled and clients can say: "We did it." That feeling never gets old. Helping people make their housing wishes come true remains the best part of my work.

What clients say about Henk-Jan

“Waar het via een andere bank niet mogelijk bleek om de financiering rond te krijgen, wist Henk-Jan dit binnen een week wél voor elkaar te krijgen. Snelle en professionele aanpak.”
Job
“Ik heb een vrij lastig profiel voor hypotheken. Deze keer was de hypotheek binnen enkele weken binnen. Henk-Jan zat zelf actief achter de hypotheekgever aan. Echt een verademing.”
Thomas
“Henk-Jan kon uitstekend omgaan met mijn B.V.-structuur met meerdere vennootschappen. Hij wist overzicht te creëren en gaf helder, passend advies voor onze situatie.”

Mortgage adviser

After almost 20 years in the mortgage world, I still get the same energy from a financing case that takes a little more thought. No off-the-shelf solution, but looking closely at the situation, exploring the options and finally making the puzzle fit.

Over the years I've advised a wide variety of people. From those with a straightforward financial situation to cases that need a bit more attention, such as entrepreneurs and expats. Every situation is different, and that's exactly what makes this profession so rewarding for me. I want to understand what someone wants to achieve and then work out how we can organise that financially as well as possible.

And when we finally manage to get the financing in place? That's still the best moment of my work.

What clients say about Timothy

“Timothy secured a mortgage offer that was more than twice what the other adviser was able to achieve — in roughly one-third of the time.”
Ryan
“Een hele fijne ervaring gehad met Timothy! Hij nam echt de tijd om naar onze wensen en situatie te kijken en dacht goed met ons mee. Top service en zeker een aanrader!”
Jock
“Tim heeft alles tot in de puntjes voor ons uitgezocht, waardoor er veel meer mogelijk bleek te zijn dan eerder gedacht.”
