About us
Marinus & Partners
Exclusivity in Real Estate Since the 90s
In the early 1990s, the late Ruud Marinus, a native Amsterdammer, relocated to Maastricht, where he fell in love—with both the city and a local woman. As a real estate entrepreneur, he established his roots here, choosing to focus on the exclusive South Limburg real estate market. Yet, his company was founded on a deeper philosophy: that buying or selling a home is among the most significant decisions in life.
Marinus recognized that moving is about more than finding a house; it reflects a pivotal moment in a person’s life. Whether a move stems from a job change, a growing family, or downsizing as children leave home—or from life events such as the loss of a loved one or an inevitable separation—it marks a new chapter.
With exceptional integrity, commitment, and expertise, Marinus offered comprehensive solutions from the beginning, helping clients navigate these life transitions with greater ease and confidence.
“Real estate is emotion“

A Rich History
Through the Years
Since the founding of Marinus & Partners, much has evolved—and yet, much has stayed the same. Beginning in 2006, Ruud Marinus imparted his expertise to Jan Joost Schols, who soon became an integral part of the firm. In 2010, Roger Henquet joined the team, further enriching our expertise. When Ruud retired in 2012, he left a legacy of knowledge and wisdom that endures today. Although he passed away unexpectedly in 2013, his values and life philosophy remain at the heart of our company.
At Marinus & Partners, we believe that buying or selling a home is not just about bricks and mortar; it’s about everything those walls represent in your life. Growth, goodbyes, joys, and sorrows are part of the journey. We care about your story and your motivations, so we can guide you with genuine sincerity and expertise, always from the heart.
