About Bart Smits

Ik combineer jarenlange ervaring in vastgoedontwikkeling, advies en -realisatie in zowel binnen- als buitenland met een analytische, resultaatgerichte adviespraktijk.

Mijn benadering onderscheidt zich door investeringen te beoordelen alsof ze voor eigen rekening zijn, met focus op kwaliteit, risico‑beheersing en duurzaam rendement.

Ik analyseer vastgoedkansen op basis van zowel lokale marktkennis als bredere macro‑economische ontwikkelingen, en werk structureel samen met bewezen lokale specialisten om inzicht en betrouwbaarheid te waarborgen.

Gedreven door professionaliteit en passie voor het vak, richt ik mij op oplossingen die daadwerkelijk waarde toevoegen — waar het resultaat telt.

Smits & Wouters is al sinds 1989 actief in de bemiddeling van binnen- en buitenlands vastgoed en heeft een reputatie opgebouwd binnen een netwerk van vermogende investeerders, family offices en beleggers.

From our office at Pastoriestraat 1 in Duiven, we advise clients across Europe, Asia (Turkey) and the UAE (Dubai). Our practice is built on discretion, long-term relationships, and a thorough understanding of complex cross-border real estate markets.

We specialise in development guidance, strategic land on A-locations, independent consultancy, and off-market transactions — serving institutional investors, family offices, and private capital with equal care and confidentiality.

Our Approach

How We Work

Discretion

Every mandate is handled with absolute confidentiality. Our clients trust us precisely because we never discuss their affairs — before, during, or after a transaction.

Independence

We carry no brokerage agenda and hold no inventory. Our advice is entirely independent, with no commissions from third parties. Your outcome is our only interest.

Network

35+ years of relationships with landowners, municipalities, family offices and institutional investors across Europe, Turkey and the UAE give us access others simply cannot replicate.

Over 150 Years of History

The quiet foundation of an international practice.

Smits & Wouters is housed at one of Duiven's most historic addresses.

"Despite later modifications, the building remains a well-preserved example…"

— Municipality of Duiven

From this building, we have advised investors since 1989.

First mention of Duiven

In a Frankish deed, Duiven and Groessen are named for the first time.

17th century

Moated building on this site

The plot was surrounded by a moat — characteristic of an ecclesiastical estate of that period.

1777

New rectory designed by Langenberg

Pastor Heijendaal found the existing building in a dilapidated state. A new rectory was built to the specifications of master Langenberg.

1867

The current building constructed

Eclectic architecture typical of the second half of the nineteenth century. Municipal monument ever since.

c. 1990

From rectory to office

After the parish's departure, the building received a new purpose. Its character barely changed.

1989 – present
