Honest advice, smart strategy and pulling out all the stops for the best result.
Selling or buying a home in Utrecht is a special step. You want an estate agent who not only knows the market inside out, but also understands what this step means to you. Someone who stands beside you, asks the right questions, thinks ahead and goes all out for the best result.
With a 9.6 on Funda, 4.6 stars on Google and an average sale price per m² that in 2026 is 13.8% above the Utrecht average, we know that personal attention and a well-thought-out strategy make the difference.
That is Gusto Casa.
We are a boutique estate agency in Utrecht where you are not a number. We want to know what matters to you, what you are looking forward to and what you might be dreading. Only once we know your story do we decide on the best strategy for your home or your search.
Because a home is more than four walls and an address. It is where life has been lived, where memories were made and where a next chapter begins. That is why we listen before we advise, keep control of the process and always choose honest advice over a quick signature and deal.
Maybe that is why clients often stick around after the keys have been handed over. We get birth announcements, join them for dinner and, years later, stand beside them again for their next step. That is exactly how we wanted to do estate agency when we started Gusto Casa.

Our figures
Figures tell part of the story. A rating of 9.6 on Funda and a 4.6 on Google. The nicest compliments come from our clients. From chocolates to flowers and spontaneous dinners; they make us happy every single time. See more reviews on Funda.
We do not believe that volume is everything. We take the time for you, your home and the (prospective) buyer. From a well-thought-out strategy to our own styling: we literally and figuratively pull out all the stops to give your home that little bit extra.
The average price per m² in Utrecht is €6,871. Our average price per m² in Utrecht in 2026 is €7,823. That is more than €950 more per m², a full 13.8% above the average. Do the maths! Amounts like these make more difference than any difference in commission.
An asking price and the overbid do not tell the whole story; the strategy does. At Gusto Casa, buyers bid on average 17.1% over the asking price for a home in Utrecht. The higher price per square metre we achieve at Gusto Casa is far more interesting. The Utrecht average overbid is 12.8%.
Because in the end it is not about what your estate agent costs, but about what you keep from the sale.

Estate agent Utrecht
Not just a standard cushion on the sofa and done. We look at how a buyer looks at a room, where the light falls, which sightlines are strong and which furniture is in the way. With our own styling wardrobe, furniture and accessories we make every room calmer, stronger and more attractive to the right buyers. Not because styling is a nice extra, but because presentation affects how a home is experienced and valued.
Our story
An estate agent sells or buys a home. It is that simple, really. But what makes a sale or a purchase truly good? Is it the highest price, the fastest sale, or above all the feeling that afterwards you can say: this was the right decision.
For us that starts with honest advice. Sometimes that means advising you to do something to your home first. Sometimes we deliberately choose a different asking price than you expected. And sometimes, when you are buying, we say: don't. Because good advice is not always what you want to hear, but it is what is best for you.
We explain why we advise something, show you how we look at the Utrecht market and which choices we believe really make a difference. So you not only know what we advise, but also understand why.
That honesty, clarity and personal involvement show in our results: a 9.6 on Funda and an average sale price per m² above the Utrecht average. We are proud of that. But we find it even more important that you look back on the whole process with a good feeling.
Utrecht is our home. And we think it is just as important that you feel at home with us.
Our philosophy
In a tight housing market it can seem as if every home sells itself. But how do you make sure your home is not only sold quickly, but to the right buyer, on the best terms and with a result you look back on with a good feeling? That is exactly where preparation, strategy and presentation make the difference.
An excellent sale begins long before a home appears on Funda. You see it in the styling, the photography and the videos we make. Among other things, we make the best and most fun home tours together with influencer Diesna Loomans. So viewers really see themselves living in your home. They see the potential, feel the atmosphere and get a taste of the neighbourhood.
We combine creativity with data, so your home not only stands out but also reaches the right buyers. We also share our love for Utrecht through social media, the Gusto Casa Podcast and blogs, and we back it up with figures.

Our team
NVM estate agent
Joyce is enthusiastic, energetic and pretty direct. She is curious, asks a lot of questions and is secretly a bit of a nerd: she wants to understand how something works, and why. With her eye for atmosphere, detail and potential, she quickly sees what makes a home special. And Joyce's enthusiasm is contagious. She lived in Ondiep for years and now lives in Hoge Weide, so she knows the city like the back of her hand.
NVM estate agent RM RT
Lindy combines market knowledge with a sharp eye for marketing, timing and presentation. She asks a lot of questions (and talks a lot too), gets to the bottom of everything and never settles for half a job. She spots opportunities others miss and thinks creatively about how to show a home at its best. Sometimes a bit of a know-it-all, but the kind you benefit from as a client.
NVM estate agent
Lylian has wanted to be an estate agent since she was sixteen. She loves the mix of people, homes and interiors, and she is enthusiastic, committed and always a step ahead. That is how she brings calm and clarity. From Lylian you get honest advice, even when it is not always the easiest answer. And when things get tense? She makes it manageable, over a cup of coffee at the kitchen table if need be. Lylian has almost finished her training as a valuer, so she knows exactly how to judge what a home is worth.
Back office
Lianne loves overview, tidy work and making sure everything behind the scenes is right. She makes lists of lists. After years as an estate agent and valuer, she knows how important a good file and clear follow-up are. At Gusto Casa she keeps track of documents, appointments and deadlines and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. She is down-to-earth, committed and loves helping clients, even if that usually happens a little more behind the scenes. You won't see her at the office: she works from 'the cheerful city', Villajoyosa in Spain.

We do not only know the Daalsebuurt as estate agents; we live and work here ourselves. You are just as likely to run into us on the Amsterdamsestraatweg, at Rose & Vanilla or at Familie van Rijk.
That is exactly why we know more than just the house prices. We know what is going on, which places make the neighbourhood special and which developments are coming. We use that knowledge when buying and when selling.
We do not just sell the house, but the life around it too.
Why choose Gusto Casa as your estate agent in the Daalsebuurt?
Happy predecessors
Cheerful and happy people: that is what we do it for!
Every day we strive for the best possible result for our clients. A home where you feel at home, but where the numbers add up too.
It is not for nothing that we get invited to housewarmings, receive birth announcements and invitations to raise a glass together
Very happy with Lindy and Gé! They are very easy to reach, keep you well informed throughout the process and go “the extra mile” whenever that is needed or helpful. Very pleasant contact and we are very satisfied with the whole sales process. And apart from being business stars, they are also just really lovely people 🙂
“Lindy and Ge are very professional and always go that extra step for their client. Out of conversations with five different selling agents, they clearly came out as the best. They had a good sales plan, showed they knew the neighbourhood well and have a good marketing/financing combination. However busy it is or whatever the time, they make time for you and try to get everything out of the sale. I would recommend this selling agent to everyone!”
Utrecht is our home. You will feel at home with us.
As Utrecht estate agents, we at Gusto Casa constantly keep an eye on what is changing around you. Did you know we are in close contact with the street manager of the Amsterdamsestraatweg and the WOM (the neighbourhood development company)? That way we are always up to date with the latest news around the Amsterdamsestraatweg.
New builds, redevelopment, trendy restaurants or concept stores, but also changes in regulations and market pressure? In our blogs we keep you up to date on the ups and downs of the Utrecht housing market. The market is unpredictable. Higher interest rates, more homes for sale and fewer buyers. What does that mean for you? As your Utrecht estate agent, we give you the answers.
You have read plenty about us and how we work, but we are curious about you too! What would you like to know about the Utrecht housing market? Ask us: Gusto Casa, the NVM estate agent in Utrecht.
