About us – Expat Services Relocation & Onboarding

We are your digital and personal relocation expert. On our platform personal support meets online efficiency!

Solutions for Employees HR Solutions

Who we are

Our platform combines traditional relocation services with innovative digital solutions by bringing together a well-established relocation company and an online immigration startup.

And this is how it all started…

Since founding their relocation company in 1995, Jörg Holsten and Frank Faggo have transformed their regional relocation service to a renowned international mobility service provider with 11 offices. The fact that their employees are spread all across Germany means that they can guarantee a highly specialised and personal support from beginning to end. Over the past +20 years, their expertise has helped numerous employees, startups and international companies relocate within / to Germany.

Creating smart digital solutions online has been the mission of Oliver and Yvonne Frankfurth, ever since they founded their immigration startup in 2013. As such, the siblings strived to turn the traditional relocation service into an innovative online tool that would be easily accessible by expatriates moving to Germany. Allowing paperwork to be filled out online, turning complex bureaucratic procedures into easy steps; on their website, newcomers could henceforth do German bureaucracy online.

In late 2016, Jörg and Frank's path crossed that of Oliver and Yvonne. They discovered common ground. Quickly, their respective ideas and experiences gave rise to new synergies.

Ultimately, these resulted in a new project:

Expats.de.

This platform offers the best of both relocation worlds. While we continue valuing personal support with our customers, we elegantly combine it with modern digital solutions. As such, our longstanding expertise meets innovative solutions.
