"Relocation made super easy with just one phone call. We found it super daunting when the job offer came through for my husband. We had to start planning our move abroad. Where do you start, what schools will the kids go to, where are the best schools, which area is more suitable to us as a family, will we find a pet friendly rental, how are we going to get everything set up without us being there, which area is the best, where is the best train line and service, how will we negotiate a lease agreement without being in UK, how can we view the actual property without being there??? Packing up your life that you have built over many years, selling everything that you have bought together and starting the process of saying your goodbye's is not easy. Moving is and was one of the most terrifying things that we have ever done. Then friends of ours told us about these two amazing woman (whom are expats themselves) Juniper Shores. And man did they save us a ton of time and money. They had a meeting with us asking our likes and wants, they got to know our family and what our interests are, what about a new home would be a pull or push factor. No task was too big or too small, receiving a million panicky whatsapps from me throughout the days and months prior to the move was too much. They truly made the whole move easy. My husband had to move prior to all of us and when he arrived at our new home, the only thing that he had to unpack was his clothes. They even filled the fridge with food for him whilst lockdown was still in play. Our doggies food and beds was ready and waiting, our kids and our rooms was sorted, beds made etc. Our kids school places was secured and they could just walk into school as if they have been there previously. We cannot recommend Juniper Shores', Rozanna and Samantha enough. They are an absolute Godsend to anyone wanting to move to the UK. The only downside about Juniper Shores is that they are not all over the world! What a blessing that would be if they could spread their wings to all the far corners of the world, but then I suppose you would not get the kind of personalised service you get from them now. Thank you ladies for truly making it way too easy to leave SA, we have not missed it yet and it is all thanks to you!"
