To anyone considering expatriating to Belgium, and Brussels in particular, a great relocation agent is absolutely critical. This is true for both those coming here personally and those being sent by their company.

I know there are those who will tell you that you can do it all yourself, I am here to tell you that trying to do this solo, especially if you are not fluent in either Dutch or French, will be a very painful and possibly unsuccessful venture.

We were introduced to Caroline, by a friend who had used her before us. I owe my friend a case of great wine for the introduction.

Caroline was quite literally a life saver for us. We reached out to Caroline, back in 2022. Due to the housing market in Southern California and life events, it took my wife and I almost three years to get properly sorted into Brussels. Caroline was patient with us the entire time. We came several times before we received our long stay visa, and Caroline found us some great temporarily furnished apartments that would take our cats and dog. This was not a simple feat.

Once we received our long stay visa, Caroline helped us every step of the way. Not only did she help us find and negotiate the lease for our dream apartment, she got us our commune registration appointment (when you have a permanent home/long term lease in Brussels you must register with the commune that you are in), helped us get all of our insurances together, signed us up for our utilities and WIFI, oversaw the inspection of our apartment ( leases here are often 9 years so just like buying a home, you get an inspection of your apartment, without it, you will likely be liable for any of the maintenance issues or damages even if they occurred before you took over the lease).

Finally, through her contacts, she helped us get my business and our personal bank accounts. Please understand, especially if you are American, this is not easy. I know several of my fellow expatriates who have been here longer than me and are still having problems getting a Belgian or European bank account.
Caroline has a never-ending list of contacts for services and goods that she will be happy to share with you.

In addition, just in case you didn’t figure this out already, Caroline is the consummate professional, ethical, knowledgeable, wise in the ways of bureaucracy, and an incredible human being.
Finally, when I received her invoice, my wife and I went into shock. The bill was so reasonable that I almost called her to make sure that it was correct.

I cannot recommend her enough. Once again, if you are expatriating through yourself or your company to Belgium, Caroline is an absolute must.

We enjoyed working with Caroline. We are a very organised and well informed couple so we didn'y need the "nanny " treatment (althouigh I am sure Caroline can provide that as well). Instead we worked together with her as one team (we identified suitable housing properties and Caroline arranged visits and conducted the negotiations. She even went on some televisits for us (while we were still in the USA. Communication with Caroline was easy via whatsapp and emails. Caroline is well connected with real-estate agencies and she got us our "dream apartment" so we are very happy. She is also well connected with various 3rd party vendors (health insurance, telecommunication and energy providers) and that helped as well to have a smooth transition. She also provided some extra services that werent exactly in her contract. We highly recommend Caroline !

After 5 international relocations in my career (in different countries and even different continents) I can affirm that Caroline was the best relocation agent we've had. She is very professional yet very warm and approachable, she has a very good understanding on how things work for a new comer in Belgium and she does a great job facilitating the on boarding process.
I definitively recommend her relocation service!
