Who we are
A boutique experience
RELOCONSULT is a “boutique” relocation company whose small structure allows for highly personalized service. Our international network ensures that we have a global presence, but we pride ourselves on focusing on the individual, human side of the expatriation experience. We take the time to really get to know our clients and tailor our services to their specific needs. At RELOCONSULT everyone from the owner to the consultants have been expats themselves. We’ve been through the relocation process and personally understand its challenges.
Our story
The story behind Reloconsult
The backstory
RELOCONSULT began back in 2008 when its founder, Fabienne Meier, returned to Europe with her family and settled in The Hague after being expatriated in the US for several years. Living abroad was a time of personal growth for Fabienne and when she arrived in the Netherlands, she knew she wanted a change of career; the idea for RELOCONSULT was born.
Now and then
Today, RELOCONSULT and its team of consultants are not only present in The Hague, but in all major Dutch cities including Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Eindhoven. We’ve become a significant player in the real estate and relocation business in the Netherlands and serve both corporate and private clients. We’ve helped expats from over 50 countries around the world settle successfully abroad. The RELOCONSULT team is multilingual and we work in English, French, German, Swiss-German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch. Our professional expertise and international presence are reinforced by our membership in the international professional networks Bienvenue and EuRA.
