What Clients Have To Say About Viviane
"Viviane was quick to respond to our portal comments. Even though we were 9 hours ahead, it felt like we were chatting in real time. It was great how Viviane dealt directly with the landlords. She was quick to ask questions we didn't even think of. It made our housing search much easier and manageable. The moving part was the easiest part of this transition thanks to Viviane. It was nice to find a home before we arrived to the US."

"We had family members out for thanksgiving and just before Christmas, and it was fun showing them our new life here in Cali. We are very happy here! We love our home, we love our new community, and I just wanted to thank you for helping us find it all here. I don't know what we would have done without you! My son is doing well in school, I have made a few friends, and I have regular play dates set up for the kids. We just joined the YMCA, and have been exploring parks and beaches all around the bay area. We spent New Years Eve day at the beach in Santa Cruz. There is no way could have ever celebrated New Years on the beach in Michigan! You were wonderful! You know the area inside and out and really helped us navigate the difficult housing market as well as find a community that was right for us and our kids. I recommend you to anyone moving to the Bay Area in a heart beat!"

"As someone relocating from another state to the Mountain View area, I was initially quite lost when looking for housing. After contacting SVRelo, I was delighted to work with Viviane who walked me through the entire process of finding listings, booking appointments, and reviewing the lease conditions. A short while later I was able to move into an apartment that was perfect for my budget and location needs. I highly recommend their service, especially to people who are moving to the area from out of state. The additional insight into the local market is extremely valuable."

“Viviane gave an above-and-beyond effort with our relocation needs. Having an activity bag to keep the kids entertained was not only thoughtful, but genius!”

“Viviane is a fantastic listener and tireless researcher. She found a place with character, in a great neighborhood, that checked off all the boxes on my ‘awesome things I really want’ list. The entire experience of finding my new home was stress-free and even fun. I’ll recommend her services to anyone.”
~ David Snow, (San Diego), eBay
“After some phone calls/emails we had so much trust in Viviane that we rented a house without even having seen it – just based on her advice (and photos). It turned out to be exactly what we wanted. Viviane is very responsive and goes the extra mile it takes to make relocation as easy as possible. Thanks again, Viviane!”

“Viviane helped us settled into a wonderful neighborhood and in an excellent school district. She knows the Silicon Valley very well and has a wealth of resources to offer. Viviane takes the time to listen to your needs and interests. She cares about you and will go the extra miles to take care of you. Viviane is a very pleasant person and is someone you can trust. She has made my experience very enjoyable. We highly recommend her.”
~ Oyland and Cindy Wong, (Oregon), eBay
"In January 2011 we moved to San Jose from Switzerland with our 10 month old daughter. Viviane helped us through every step of settling in from assisting us with our social security and driving license applications to getting to know the local area and finding the ideal home for our family. Viviane always did more than was ever expected and was always available by phone or email to answer any questions. She is very personable and made us feel comfortable right away. Having also moved here from Europe, Viviane could relate to our experience and made our transition almost effortless. I would highly recommend using Viviane and her Company and know without doubt that you will get a great service.”
