Every Move Is a Plan Before It Is a Plane Ticket
Fixed-fee relocation planning for Americans moving to Europe, in U.S. dollars. Every engagement starts with a free call.
One Planner for the Whole Move
Immigration lawyers handle visas. Tax advisers handle taxes. Real estate agents handle houses. Nobody handles the move itself: the order of decisions and the trade-offs that touch all three at once. Should you change tax residence before or after selling your U.S. home? Which route keeps your options open? Which city fits your budget once real rents replace the averages online?
We plan the whole journey, keep it coherent, and bring in licensed professionals where their expertise is needed.

Before You Book
What does the discovery call cost?
Nothing. It is a 30-minute video call about your plans. Many people leave with the clarity they came for; those who want a full plan can book a paid service afterwards.
Do you handle visa applications?
No. We are not a law firm or an immigration adviser, and we do not prepare or submit applications. We set out the routes worth considering in your situation and introduce you to licensed lawyers who handle applications, if you want an introduction.
Are your fees fixed?
Yes. Every fee is fixed and agreed in writing, in U.S. dollars, before work starts. Fees shown as from a price can grow only if you add scope, such as a second country, and you agree the new price first.
Can I get a refund?
No. Work starts as soon as you pay, so fees are not refunded if you change your mind. Sessions can be rescheduled once, free of charge, up to 24 hours before.
Do you take commissions?
We take no developer or property commissions. We may receive a referral fee from some professional partners. It never changes what you pay, and we tell you when it applies.
