The aim of Relocation Assistance. is to facilitate the transfer of employees of internationally operating companies from abroad, thus noticeably lightening the work load on your personnel department. But successful relocating means more to us than just finding a suitable house for your expatriates and taking care of all the paperwork. We are service providers through and through and would like to make sure that your future employees feel understood and looked after from the outset. After all, the arrival in the foreign country often determines whether this assignment is a success. We therefore also make it our job to make sure the whole family quickly feels that someone friendly & professional is taking care of everything that will make for a trouble-free entry into everyday life. Our personal contacts to the local authorities in the Rhine/Main region, our excellent knowledge of the local residential market, and our own experience abroad help us to do so. 

 

 

 

Who we are

 

Relocation Assistance. is a committed, motivated team that sees itself as a service provider. Our consultants speak at least two languages and have a lot of experience abroad. Thanks to our broad spectrum of experience, we are able to offer comprehensive services to aid your expatriates and their families. Our company’s philosophy – friendly & professional – is both a challenge and an obligation for us.
