Keij & Stefels, a leading full-service real estate firm in the Amsterdam region, is taking a next step in the professionalisation of its property management operations. Managing a diverse portfolio of around 4,000 properties, including residential units, retail, offices and hospitality, the firm is strengthening how technical management is structured, monitored and executed.
With decades of experience in both brokerage and property management, Keij & Stefels operates with a multidisciplinary team of technical specialists, financial experts and real estate professionals. This integrated approach allows the firm to take full responsibility on behalf of owners, acting as a single point of contact for tenants, contractors and stakeholders.
Managing complexity in mixed-use urban portfolios
Operating in the Amsterdam region means managing a wide range of property types, each with its own technical requirements, tenant dynamics and regulatory obligations. From maintenance and service charges to sustainability improvements and long-term asset performance, Keij & Stefels oversees all aspects of property operations. Each building is monitored by a dedicated technical specialist, ensuring that condition, maintenance and performance are continuously assessed.
Maintaining that level of oversight across the portfolio requires clear structure in how technical processes are organised.
One operational backbone for property management
By implementing Proprli as a central platform for technical property management, Keij & Stefels is creating a shared operational foundation. Teams manage compliance, maintenance, ticketing and supplier workflows within one environment, while maintaining oversight at both building and portfolio level.
For Keij & Stefels, this marks a more structured way of managing technical property operations across the portfolio.
Nick Sol, Technical Property Manager at Keij & Stefels, explains: “We are closely involved in every building we manage, that’s where our strength lies. But as the portfolio grows, you need structure to maintain that level of control. By connecting our technical processes with our financial system, we create clarity for our teams and ensure we stay in control, both at building level and across the portfolio.”
Connecting technical management with financial systems
A critical element in this transition is the alignment between technical and financial management. With Bloxs as its financial backbone, Keij & Stefels ensures that maintenance, supplier performance and long-term planning are directly reflected in budgets, reporting and overall portfolio strategy.
This creates a continuous link between building-level technical activity and financial performance, enabling better forecasting, clearer cost control and more informed decision-making.
Maintaining control across the portfolio
For Keij & Stefels, the challenge is not managing individual buildings — that has always been its strength. The challenge lies in maintaining that same level of attention across the wider portfolio. By structuring technical processes and connecting them to financial systems, the firm is reinforcing that level of control across the entire portfolio.
