Whether it is to ensure a housekeeping spouse finds integration in the community through the many social networks that exist, or just a good hairdresser, we make it our role to be there 100% of the way through your journey. Our staff are there for you 7 days per week Founded by expat Damian Galvin in 2006, who moved from the UK to develop both Relocation-Romania & White-Mountain-Property, his carefully chosen team of people come from a variety of backgrounds & have plenty of experience in achieving smooth staff transitions to Romania, ensuring you are in the best possible care. Dependable, Resourceful, Professional are the by-words of our company. For my business trips to Brasov in 2010, Relocation Romania arranged accommodation that was, in fact, one of the nicest places I have ever stayed.. But what impressed me most was their personal touch & sense of customer service. Highly recommend these guys to anyone. Martin Byrne, Marketing Manager, Dell Computers, July 2010.
