Build your business with Ons Soort Makelaars

Become an OSM agent without a non-compete clause

We want you to choose Ons Soort Makelaars because our services and tools help you. That is why we work without a non-compete clause. Quality and a good working relationship are our reasons to keep building together.

Choose the value of working together

As an independent agent, you invest in your skills, clients and business. Assess OSM on support, technology and collaboration with colleagues.

Ask for examples: how does a tool help you prepare a quote, how do you prepare your start and who can you consult? These questions make service quality tangible.

No non-compete clause, clear agreements

This is a deliberate choice by OSM. It does not mean there are no other terms. Review service arrangements, brand use and what happens when the collaboration ends.

Notice periods, data ownership and other contract details must be discussed against your agreement. This page makes no blanket promises about those provisions.

Your checklist

  • Clarify the services OSM provides.
  • Ask about the written terms.
  • Discuss joining and ending the collaboration.
  • Evaluate tools and support for your work.

Meet the people and see the tools

Use an introduction to assess our approach. Tell us what you need to start or grow independently.

We share prices and contributions in the brochure and meeting. Ask about the scope and take time to review the arrangements.

Frequently asked questions

Why does OSM have no non-compete clause?

We stand behind our services and the tools we build. We want agents to stay because the collaboration adds value.

Does that mean there are no other conditions?

No. Other rights, responsibilities and termination arrangements are set out in the collaboration agreement and discussed personally.
