Concierge Relocation Services

What can a Concierge Relocation Service Do?

Concierge services can be fully customized to the exact needs of you and your family to ensure that you receive the highest quality support during your move.

IAS has recently launched James Freeman Concierge Services offering personalized, customizable, and bespoke solutions to manage every aspect of your relocation to the USA.

We offer many of our services as standard, but if you need any additional support, we are happy to accommodate your needs. Our aim is to make the process of emigrating and relocating as straightforward as possible.

We work with handpicked partners to provide the highest quality services that will enable you to make your relocation as easy as possible during the stressful period of moving home.

As well as the ‘bigger’ aspects of moving, such as:

• Finding a home
• Organizing estate sales and purchases
• Packing and transporting your belongings
• Staging your home and making it move-in ready
• Organizing transportation for your beloved pets
• Finding the best schools for your children
• Unpacking your belongings

We also take care of the ‘smaller’ but equally important aspects, including:

• Cleaning your home
• Home organization, custom closet design and storage solutions
• Getting registered with a local physician and dentist
• Setting up your household utility bills
• Removing and installing fittings in your home, including televisions, audio-visual equipment, chandeliers
• Removing and hanging artwork
• Transporting wine collections

Your dedicated concierge consultant will be in constant contact with you throughout the process to give you the hands-on and detail-oriented support you need during your move.

In a pre-move consultation, we will ask the right questions to understand your needs and identify the services needed for your move. You will be able to find out precisely what you can expect from the moving day and how we will support you.

We aim to help you adjust to your new home as quickly and smoothly as possible. We are excited to work closely with you and your family on this important move.
