The story behind Sophie Stiekema

Sophie Stiekema’s path to real estate is both accidental and predestined. Her journey began with training as an executive secretary, a role she eagerly accepted as a weekend job at a real estate agency. Although this first experience was not at VLIEG, it laid the foundation for her later career. Looking for a new challenge and change of scenery, Sophie moved to Alkmaar. “I bought a house at VLIEG, not knowing that a little later I would be working here. So that’s kind of funny,” Sophie says.

Sophie’s work at VLIEG is characterized by variety and lively interactions with people. This causes her much joy. Seeing the joy in people finding their new homes reinforces her passion to simplify processes and make them more efficient. Her inspiration is close to home: her mother, who also works in real estate. As her role model, Sophie’s mother has had a lasting influence on her career choices. Like her mother, Sophie strives to make a positive impact in real estate.
