Orientation Trip

A recon trip is designed to help the executive and his/her family make the final decision regarding their potential assignment in a new country.

First impressions are very important and a trusted guide can make the difference. We design the Recon Trip so that the potential expat can get an honest sense of the local culture. The trip is designed to give them a perspective of what day-to-day life would be like if they chose to relocate. This program includes:

Neighborhood familiarization (local parks, shopping areas, supermarkets, hospitals, restaurants, etc.)
Housing overview
Schooling overview
Information about the cost of living and the standard of living

House Hunting

A major and understandable concern any potential expat has is what their housing situation will be like if they were to relocate. Understanding the importance of getting this part right, we do a comprehensive analysis to determine what is the appropriate housing and location for the executive. We do this by getting the executive and his/her family to define in detail what they need in a home in order to be happy with their relocation. This program includes:

Neighborhood and area tour
Accompanied visits to prospective homes
Lease Negotiations
Move in Inspection
Assistance with car and furniture purchase/rental, information on banking and insurance services.

An important concern for those executives with children is that of schooling. Similar to our approach to housing and done in conjunction, we create profiles of each child and provide a list of those institutions we believe to be the best match. This package includes:

Contacting the schools to determine space availability
Information requirements
Set up interview and accompany the family to those appointments
Advise on registration process
