We go the extra mile for our clients

An international automotive group in the South of the Netherlands approached us to arrange the relocation of a newly hired Engineer and his family.

Departure point

This family previously lived in Eastern Europe, where one of the three children was also born. At the time of moving, the mother was pregnant with her 4th child.

Our approach

Already during the information trip we received a lot of information about the wishes of the family, so that we could respond quickly and clearly to their expectations regarding the (im) possibilities. For orientation purposes we visited together a number of homes and schools. The biggest challenge was to find a suitable home with five bedrooms. Large houses with many bedrooms are, in contrast to the Netherlands, very common in their home country. They also had the preference of living in a small village. We found a real estate agent who had a five-bedroom home for sale. In the end we tried to convince her to rent it to us! That worked!

After we had prepared the mother for what exactly gives birth in the Netherlands means, we arranged a place in the maternity hotel for her and the youngest member of the family. For the other three children we found a playgroup, child care and primary school opposite the house. So everything was within walking distance.

Fortunately, their fourth child was born healthy and the family has been very happy in the Netherlands for 3 years now. The school-going children speak the Dutch language very well, just like father and mother, who are still very happy with this career switch.
