Area orientation and relocation preview trips
Area orientations and preview trips help you get to know you new location
Being able to settle-in to a new home location and feeling at ease is one of the best ways to ensure a successful relocation.
Our relocation services help with all the technical and logistical aspects of a relocation such as home finding, school search and moving. However, our service does not stop there. We support the softer human aspects of a relocation too.
We offer support to help everyone relocating to understand and adapt to the new culture, language, location, and issues related to a dual-career family. Along with our destination information, local area knowledge and local level support, we ensure everyone feels completely supported.
What is an area orientation?
An area orientation service provides a high-level view of the area, helping everyone to understand how things work in terms of housing, transport, schooling, culture, shopping, payments, entertainment and generally how things are done locally. All delivered by one of our knowledgeable and friendly local relocation experts. It also provides an insider’s guide on what to expect and local tips for everything needed to get off to the best start. Furthermore, it can provide introductions to local expat groups and the community, depending on how much support is required.
Our local area relocation experts offer local level support and expertise. Get to know a destination with Gerson Relocation.

Preview tours
Our orientation tours can be provided at an early stage as a preview trip, also known as a look-see tour, to help get an understanding and feeling of the potential options for a new home and to decide between areas.
