Clients who are planning their move, months before they arrive.
People moving abroad start with questions, not paperwork: where to live, how things work, who to trust. Expaty destination platforms answer those questions, and introduce readers to a small number of carefully selected relocation specialists.
Your future clients don't know who to trust.
People planning a move find dozens of relocation services online, all promising the same things. Most end up choosing on price, or on the advice of a stranger in an online group. Specialists who do the job properly struggle to stand out.
How it works.
Our platforms publish in-depth local guides and run international campaigns to people exploring each destination. When readers need help with the move itself, from residency and paperwork to schools and finding a home to rent, we introduce them to the relocation specialists selected for that area. The criteria for a good enquiry are agreed with you in advance, and every enquiry is tracked from first contact.
What we do, and what stays with you.
We take care of:
the destination platform and its guides, international campaigns in several languages, a first check of each enquiry against the criteria agreed with you, and tracking from first contact.
You take care of:
every conversation with clients, your services, your pricing and your contracts, and any activity that requires a licence or qualification in your country.
Why relocation specialists work with us.
-
Clients who arrive informed.
They have read our guides, so they know what to expect and what they need from you.
-
Earlier in the journey.
Many readers start planning months before they move, which gives you time to build trust before the busiest weeks.
-
A few specialists per area.
We introduce a small number of specialists in each destination, so every one of them gets real attention.
-
A test before any commitment.
We start with one area and agreed criteria, and decide together whether to continue based on what happens.
How we choose.
We work with relocation specialists who already serve international clients, communicate in English, publish clear written pricing and have a solid local reputation. If you offer regulated services, such as property search or legal and tax matters, you need the qualifications your country requires for them. Our selection always comes first: any paid placement is clearly marked and never replaces it.
Who this is for.
A good fit if you:
are a relocation consultant or agency based in, or covering, one of our destinations; already help international clients settle in; can answer enquiries quickly in English.
Not a good fit if you:
are looking for a directory listing among hundreds of others; can't commit to answering enquiries promptly.
Questions
Is Expaty a relocation company?
No. We are a marketing platform. We don't provide relocation services ourselves: we help people find the right specialists and leave the work to them.
How are the terms agreed?
Terms are agreed in writing before any test starts. They depend on the area and the type of collaboration, and follow the rules that apply to your activity in your country.
I also help clients find a home. Is that a problem?
No, as long as you hold the qualifications your country requires for property services.
Can I become the destination partner for my area?
Yes. If you want to build Expaty in your destination, not just receive introductions, see Become a partner.
Which areas do you cover?
You can see all our destinations on the home page. If your area isn't listed yet, tell us about it anyway.
