The top 9 services of a professional relocation

The list of relocation services of the PROGEDO relocation agencies is long and getting longer every year. Between the many small and large piles of tasks are the really important and essential ones that we reliably handle for our customers time and again Here is a compiled list of the top 9>>>

Top 1: Homesearch 

The home search is the core competence of the consultants at PROGEDO relocation. Their excellent local knowledge and good contacts with landlords especially  in tight real estate markets such as in Munich mean major time savings and all is dealt with calmly and professionally. The consultants prepare a viewing tour of one or two days and accompany the customer on their way to their new home. Once the decision has been made, the lease will be examined and fitted with the landlord to secure the rental contract. The relocation experts need no more than three weeks to secure your new home. Where necessary, the program can be completed in just one week.

Top 2: Authorities 

In Germany, the corridors in the authorities are full, especially in the immigration centers and a long wait is on the agenda. Relocation professionals know the tricks and bring customers to their goals quickly, especially when applying for permanent residence after entry into the country as part of the immigration process. Good relocation managers know which customer centers operate smoothly and when moving –in in Germany they take care of the registration. This means that the customer does not have to wait for months as in Berlin to sign up and doesn’t need to worry about a thing.

Top 3: Language

Many agents in customer centers have limited time and limited language skills to explain to a foreigner what he will need to bring to an appointment- or how to fill in a German form. The relocation agents help and explain among other things in which case it is sufficient to translate a foreign marriage certificate or when an apostil is required. That’s relocation made in Germany!

Top 4: School and kindergarten registration 

It´s difficult enough for German parents to find day care or school spaces for their children. Foreigners rarely know that their children (over one year of age) have a legal right to five hours care per day. Searching for available spaces and in organizing visits, are all stemmed by PROGEDOs relocation agents. In order that parents can take advantage of the grant schemes that the state guarantees every child in Germany, PROGEDO offers assistance in applying for child support and Kita vouchers where they are available as for example in Hamburg.

Top 5: Finances

Settling in also includes the financial aspect: An online bank, a savings bank ora branch bank? Which branch speaks reasonable English in Düsseldorf and where can forms and information be obtained? The relocation consultants of PROGEDO relocation give detailed advice in selecting the appropriate bank. Those who work pay income -tax, the amount paid depends on the tax bracket. In the event of a wrong classification our agency helps you to switch to the more favorable tax class for example in the case of married couples where only one partner is working.

Top 6: Pets

Statistically every third person in Germany lives with a pet. The rules for living with a pet differ from state to state. In Hamburg for example the dog must be registered in the dog register and therefore requires a compulsory liability insurance. Relocation agents help with this. PROGEDO employees clarify necessary issues for importing pets and vaccinations and inform you of your rights as a pet owner concerning your landlord. We make you feel at home again.

Top 7: Departure

When moving abroad or returning to your home country, you often can´t be bothered to take time to settle the old apartment issues amongst other small things. The PROGEDO relocation agents assist with the rental termination in case of problems with the landlord, with fording mail requests and the cancellation of electricity, water, gas and so on. All documents are prepared and only need to be signed by the customer.

Top 8: Automobile services

When driving a foreign vehicle for more than a year in Germany, a German registration along with German insurance is needed. The car will be examined by the M.O.T. department to ensure the car fulfills all necessary requirements.  PROGEDO relocation agencies from Bremen to Munich assist in this process. In addition the foreign driver´s license is checked for validity in German and if necessary exchanged.

Top 9: Residence and work permit

Professional relocation consultants like those at PROGEDO relocation have collected years of experience in visa and immigration processes and help companies,  their employees or private individuals quickly and easily to be able to enter Germany for employment. They clarify questions ahead of time about necessary certificates, required documents and language skills. After entering the country our employees support and accompany our customers to the authorities so that nothing goes wrong. For difficult cases we have special competence centers in Frankfurt and Berlin.
