10 years of Albert, a brief history

Created on 20/04/2026

This year, Albert is blowing out 10 candles.

Albert Immo is built on strong foundations. The name refers to Albert Van Achter, grandfather of founder and CEO Peter-Jan Matthijs. As a farmer and politician, Albert Van Achter dedicated himself in the 1950s to a well-considered balance between urbanization and nature conservation in the Ghent region. His vision and values—forward thinking, taking responsibility, and respect for the environment—still form the basis of the company today. Ten years later, Albert has grown into a modern real estate organization with over 10 offices spread across Flanders. With a personal approach, strong local roots, and broad expertise, we guide our clients in a transparent, smooth, and professional manner with all their real estate questions.

Ten Years of Entrepreneurship.

Ten years of searching for the right path; sometimes the road was bumpy, but always with one certainty: whatever came our way, we always moved forward. Along the way, people joined us and people went their own way. But everyone, without exception, has helped build what Albert is today. And for that, we are truly grateful. Albert is a growth story with enormous potential. Not by being average, but by remaining true to ourselves. With our individuality. With the feeling of a family. With a positive drive, a big heart, and great ambition. Thank you to everyone who is part of this story, in whatever way. A special thank you to all our customers for the trust, the collaboration, and the many wonderful stories along the way.

With great ambition and enthusiasm, we continue to build the Albert story.
