Relocating domestically is always a challenge; moving to a new country even more so. The experts at Metrica Relocations+ will do all they can to make the move easier. Before relocating, Metrica will conduct a 'needs analysis' with the client, to identify a suitable new home. If requested, Metrica will also arrange for a preview visit, familiarizing the client with their new host country. A preview visit can include the city, possible neighborhoods, schools, restaurants, health care providers, shopping, even where to find the best manicurist - all delivered with 15 years of experience.
Metrica will use the needs analysis to search out an appropriate apartment or single family residence. Once a home in the host country has been selected by the client, Metrica will act as go-between in the contract negotiations, threading the tricky maze of legal procedures and language differences. In all things, Metrica will work in the best interests of the client.
Metrica can also assist in hooking up utilities, such as gas, water, electricity, telephone, etc. Our experts will help with the initial walk-through and inspection, and the lease will be managed by the Metrica partner firm (as described under Tenancy Management).
One way to feel at home in a new country is to know the city you live in. Metrica Relocations+ provides personalized tours to clients to help them feel at home in their new city. The tour can cover such things as where to shop, where to eat, currency information, public transportation, and leisure activities. Each tour is geared to the specific host country and city, as well as to client needs.
School is an important part of a child's life. All parents want just the right school for their children, to help them succeed in life. Metrica Relocations+ will assist in the search for a school, helping the client find the school that best fits their child's or children's needs.
