Explanation:
http://www.veilingnotaris.nl/cgi-bin/print.cgi?sel=print;vei...
"een akte van verkoop en koop op zevenentwintig augustus negentienhonderdtweeëntachtig verleden voor genoemde notaris Westra van Holthe, hierna te noemen: Algemene Akte"

6.1 Which parties (in addition to the buyer and seller and the buyer's finance provider) would normally be involved in a real estate transaction in your country? Please briefly describe their roles and/or duties.

a) Selling and purchasing agents (or realtors)

In the case of a regular real estate transaction, the buyer and the seller often engage a real estate agent. His work can comprise, inter alia, an instruction to search for a suitable real estate object in a suitable environment, or to put a real estate object for sale on the market. The real estate agents can, furthermore, play an active role in negotiations on the purchase contract, often as concerns the commercial and technical components.

b) Notaries

In principle, the Dutch civil law notary acts as an independent counsel/adviser, who looks after the interests of both the seller and the buyer.

Particularly as regards larger commercial real estate, the civil law notary (not the real estate agent) often prepares the contract of sale, given that civil law notaries generally have more legal expertise pertaining to real estate than real estate agents. Under certain circumstances, parties engage an attorney-at-law who is specialised in real estate.

http://www.iclg.co.uk/index.php?area=4&country_results=1&kh_...
"A civil law notary may disclose in advance that he is acting as "party adviser" and as such, does not play an independent role. Except for litigation, the "party civil law notary" in a real estate transaction plays a role similar to that of an attorney-at-law."
