Johan Krijgsman
Why real estate?
"I first started with a course in commercial engineering, although at that time I was already in doubt about studying real estate in college. After a year, I still decided to quit this course and take my chance in real estate because I wanted to be sure it was 100% my thing.
And today I am still in real estate, not as a broker but as a CEO. I've been in the field for a long time and for me it's really about guiding people through what is, for me anyway, one of the most important moments of their lives. And for the rest of my life, together with my team and the entire ERA network, I want to be the partner of choice for people to make their (re)buying plans come true."
Expertise in the spotlight
What is the state of real estate in our country today? We have seen property prices soar in recent years, but today we see an initial cooling off. This may not mean we are facing a price drop. So what could affect prices? What about affordability? How is Belgium doing compared to the rest of Europe in terms of real estate? All questions that Johan Krijgsman, with his expertise, will answer during the Trends Talk.
