Your journey has begun

Moving to another country, another culture, another language, changing jobs, a new school for the kids, rebuilding your family’s and your own social life… These are some of the reasons why moving to another country can be very stressful for expatriates. So, it’s very important that they are properly helped by a person who knows the area and the customs well. Marleen and Lynn are your personal advisors.


First things to do:

When you think about moving abroad..

Looking for a house or apartment is one of the first things to do on your list. Whether you are a private individual, company manager or employee having to relocate, Globe Properties efficiently finds the property you’re looking for (to buy or to rent).

Furthermore, Globe Properties provides a professional service for you and your family. We assist with practical and administrative issues, already before you arrive in Belgium.

Let me take care of your relocation to Belgium !


Services & Extra Wishes

Globe Properties offers you a wide range of services. You pay only for the services you need, besides the standard home search package.

What is making us so EXCLUSIVE ?

We go house hunting while the expat is still in the home country. The expat can follow each visit via video call and ask questions directly to the owner or real estate agent. Of course, at the end of the day, we provide feedback on the properties visited.

All administration (candidacy, contract, transfer of utilities, etc.) is also taken care of by us in the meantime.

Finally, the expat can travel to Belgium and focus 100% on work and exploring the new environment. No stress, no problems. The expat receives the key of the new home upon arrival. Pure luxury. No hotel or Airbnb for a couple of weeks necessary.

Our customers come from all corners of the world. We have always received enthusiastic reviews about the way we work. Curious about what else we have to offer? Take a look at our home search package and extra wishes.
