“Relocating across continents is no small feat, but thanks to Ann, what could have been an overwhelming and stressful process became an incredibly smooth—and even enjoyable—journey for our family.
From our very first conversation, Ann impressed us with her professionalism, global expertise, and genuine commitment to helping us not just move, but truly transition into a new chapter of our lives. She took the time to understand our unique needs—housing, schools, neighborhood lifestyle, and even cultural nuances—and guided us every step of the way with patience and care.
Before we even arrived, Ann had already taken care of so much: from finding us a house and setting up utilities to receiving our container, coordinating with my daughter’s school, contacting the bank (to name just a few!), and helping us navigate legal requirements and customs paperwork. Her exceptional organizational skills kept everything on track.
What really stood out was her attention to detail and her unwavering commitment to going above and beyond. She didn’t just respond to our questions—she anticipated our concerns and addressed them proactively. She was always responsive, well-prepared, and made us feel like a top priority.
What truly set Ann apart, though, was her personal touch. She checked in regularly, offered honest advice, and brought a warmth and authenticity that made us feel like we were working with a trusted friend who had our best interests at heart.
Thanks to Ann, we didn’t just move—we landed in a home and a community that already feels like ours. We’re endlessly grateful and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone facing a major international relocation. In her, we found more than a relocation expert—we found a true friend.”

“I met Ann shortly after we settled here, and there was an immediate “click” between us. Her enthusiasm, perseverance, professionalism, and attention to others’ needs immediately gave me the feeling that I could turn to her for practical questions, especially since she’s an expert through experience. All of this, combined with her caring and empathetic nature, instantly put me at ease. Ann puts her soul into everything she does, you can feel it immediately. She’s simply the best!”

“Ann is a powerhouse of a woman! She knows how to get things done. Driven, organised, efficient, I can’t think of anyone I’d rather have on my team for an international move and to help set up a new life. Completely competent and trustworthy, she’s the perfect person to worry about all the things you never even thought of and all with a smile from a heart of gold.”

“I highly recommend Ann Vissenaeken for her professionalism and kindness. She is not only very efficient but also attentive to your needs and concerns. Her proactive approach is reassuring, and her enthusiasm is truly contagious. She seems unfazed by obstacles, and her motto could be ‘there are no problems, only solutions.'”

“We met with Ann upon the recommendation of a colleague. They worked with her company, Atlantic Expats, for their relocation and went through the whole process with no surprises or headaches.”
“When we started doing our research for our move from Spain to the US, we saw that every single aspect of life was so different over there. We were left very confused after hearing all those comments and personal stories from our friends in different states… especially about the school system.”
“So, we chose to receive Atlantic Expat’s full-package service, which included searching for a suitable house in a safe zone with the best schools possible, researching schools that fit our kids’ profiles, making arrangements to get the US driving license, providing financial advice regarding the tax and banking system, healthcare and retirement system, and completing all other administrative tasks to start a new life in the US.”
“Thank you for making life easier for us!”
