Cato Makelaars Named Finalist for National MAVA Award 2026

We are proud to announce that Cato Makelaars has been named a finalist by Funda for the 2026 Makelaars Vakprijzen, also known as the MAVA Awards. This places us among the three selected finalists in the category Property Sales Agency of the Year — one of the most prestigious distinctions in the Dutch real estate industry.

The winner will be announced during the official awards ceremony on october 8th 2026.

A Special Recognition from Funda

The fact that these awards are organised by Funda makes this nomination especially meaningful to us. As the largest property platform in the Netherlands, Funda plays an important role in the Dutch housing market every day, connecting estate agencies with millions of home seekers.

The MAVA Awards were created to give the real estate profession the recognition and attention it deserves. Every day, estate agents guide people through one of the most important decisions of their lives. With these awards, Funda shines a spotlight on agencies that distinguish themselves through quality, expertise and genuine commitment.

For Cato Makelaars to be recognised on this national stage as one of the finalists is a special acknowledgement of our vision, our service and the way we work.

Grateful for the Trust Placed in Us

We are fortunate to work with some of the most exclusive, characterful and exceptional homes in the Brainport region. But just as special are the people behind these homes.

The trust our clients place in us is the foundation of everything we do. Their stories, ambitions and personal journeys make our work meaningful every single day. It is the combination of extraordinary homes and inspiring clients that has shaped Cato Makelaars into the agency it is today.

That is why we see this finalist position not only as recognition for our team, but also as a compliment to everyone who has entrusted us to guide them.

Looking Ahead to October 8th

We are very much looking forward to the awards ceremony on 8 October 2026. Whatever the outcome may be, the fact that Cato Makelaars is considered one of the top three property sales agencies in the Netherlands makes us proud and grateful.
