About us

We guide our clients through the moments that truly matter in life. Whether for business or pleasure. We offer peace of mind, reliability, and security. Impeccable, dedicated, and honest.

We focus on a limited number of sectors. Because we understand the ins and outs of these sectors and know the players, we are better able to meet their demand and expectations.

We identify four topics that we believe will have a significant impact on how we live and work, and which we anticipate accordingly. These topics are:

In our personal and professional lives, we are guided by our ideals and beliefs—our core values. These motivations give us direction. They explain the reasons for our actions. Living our core values allows us to work passionately for our clients.

“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”― Henry Ford.Thanks to this great entrepreneur, America entered the modern age. He was the first to introduce a car for the common man, producing it with unparalleled efficiency and affordability. Call us stubborn or headstrong, but like Henry Ford, we believe we too must help customers based on a well-considered vision and always continue to search for better, innovative, and cost-effective solutions. Just as Elon Musk now aims to do with Tesla, more than a century after Ford.

We have a permanent, extensive, and loyal dream team of highly experienced employees, reinforced by a skilled flex pool. We know each other inside and out. A single word is enough for us. Between us, we have centuries of experience in the notarial profession. We have an Advisory Board and our own ambassadors. Together, we are MAES civil-law notaries.

We strive for a high customer satisfaction rating. We attach great importance to this. After a case has been handled, we invite our clients to participate in a customer satisfaction survey. By measuring customer satisfaction, we have data that we can use to continuously improve our services. And that's exactly what we do. We'd love it if you could help our firm and our clients with this. Many have already done so. Here you can read a selection of reviews submitted by our clients about our services as part of this survey. Would you also like to leave a review? We'd love to! Let us know and go to the customer satisfaction survey . 

At MAES notaries we sell peace of mind, reliability and security. We previously arranged the transfer and mortgage of purchased properties for several of our private clients through our former discount label, Basisnotarissen Rijnmond. All other notarial services were always provided by our affordable, high-quality MAES notarissen. As of January 1, 2024, we will serve all our clients—private individuals, businesses, and government agencies—for all their affairs, including deliveries and mortgages, exclusively under the MAES Notarissen quality label. While we have retained the trading name Basisnotarissen Rijnmond, we will no longer carry the Basisnotarissen Rijnmond discount label. This will not affect our clients, however: the Basisnotarissen Rijnmond team has been an integral part of the MAES Notarissen team for many years. All work previously performed under the banners of Basisnotarissen Rijnmond and MAES Notarissen by the defunct civil-law notary, Mr. EM (Ed) Bijster, is governed by the protocol of Mr. GHHJ (Geert) Janssen MRE MBA, a civil-law notary at MAES Notarissen. Our contact details are: Contact - MAES Notarissen. For files handled by Basisnotarissen Rijnmond and MAES civil-law notaries under Mr. Bijster's responsibility, and for deeds executed by him or his representatives, you can always contact MAES civil-law notaries. We are happy to assist you. Impeccable, dedicated, and honest.
