Mitzi BrambleWhen we decided to go for a Spain sabbatical, using Christine at Your Year in Spain was the best decision we ever made. We can’t imagine doing it without Christine’s help. She helped us get through one hurdle at a time knowing that it was a real journey with ups and downs. Christine kept us grounded throughout the process. She has the resources to know what, when, and how to get through the complexities. She really walked us through everything and got us here to Spain. She set so much up for us that we never would have known on our own! Using Your Year in Spain and working closely with Christine’s support, humor, and ease made the process so much more achievable. Can’t imagine not having used her skills and resources. It was worth everything! Can’t recommend her services enough!Posted on Google
david penberthyChristine really is the most professional and thoughtful person to deal with. Not only did she organise a beautiful house, a great school for our children and sort out our visas, but since we arrived she has constantly provided great information about things to do in Granada. The whole process has been smooth and very entertaining!Posted on Google
Sara AlvarezFinding a long-term rental in a new city can be overwhelming, but working with Christine and her team made our move to Granada smooth, seamless, and completely stress-free. From the very beginning, Christine truly listened to what we were looking for and found us our absolute dream long-term apartment. Beyond securing the home itself, her ongoing support was invaluable. She was always readily available to answer our endless questions about daily life, offering exceptional local recommendations and activity ideas that helped us feel at home right away. Her assistant, Adriana, was equally amazing. Adriana was fantastic when showing us the apartment and provided wonderful hands-on support during our Padrón appointment, making what could have been a confusing administrative task completely hassle-free. Together, Christine and Adriana don't just help you find a place to live—they help you comfortably settle in and build a life here. We couldn't have asked for a better team to welcome us to Granada!Posted on Google
Clare TweedChristine was invaluable in helping my family obtain our residency. After trying to navigate the whole process on our own it was a relief to hand it over to someone who knows the system well. I 100% recommend Your Year in Spain!Posted on Google
S. P.Highly recommend Christine and the Your Year in Spain team if you are looking to make the move to Granada, whether for a year or more long-term! She helped us secure a fantastic apartment in an area that truly suited us. Also, her assistance with all the paperwork that was necessary within the first couple of months helped us concentrate on getting settled and not stress about all the bureaucracy. Thank you so much!Posted on Google
Kurt SchwindWe had some concerns about how quickly we could find and rent an apartment once we arrived in Granada so we reached out to Your Year in Spain for assistance and we are very glad we did. Christine and her team took such great care of us and found us the apartment of our dreams before our plane even landed. She made sure we had someone with us for every step along the way. My only regret was not reaching out to Your Year in Spain even earlier in our process.Posted on Google
Carmel RI questioned if it would be worth getting Christine to help with the move to Granada, but it absolutely was! If it wasn’t for Christine, I think I would have either not got on the plane to come here (even though I’d gone to the effort of getting a VISA), or I would have gotten very stressed and ended up leaving within a month of arriving! Christine made sure that everything was ready for my arrival in Granada; she found an apartment for me, secured the lease, and sorted out the logistics (I chose to fly to Madrid and I had a lot of luggage!). Once I arrived, Christine and hear team helped with opening a bank account, getting a SIM card and WIFI, getting my padrón and TIE, as well as answering questions and providing resources to make settling in easier. This meant that I spent my first few weeks in Granada on fun things like enjoying my hobbies, exploring the city and making new friends, rather than administration and trying to deal with Spanish bureaucracy. I highly recommend contacting Christine if you are thinking of coming to live in Granada for a while.Posted on Google
Colgan CaravanEven before we became Christine’s clients, she has been incredibly helpful all the way through to helping us along our way getting settled in our new home town in Spain. We have moved countries before and we really believe Christine is the best! She isn’t selling anything, she’s simply giving you the facts, her inside knowledge and experiences and kindly assisting with every random question you have along the way! She has a contact for everything! She worked urgently to enroll our kids in school before semana Santa because she knew any later could be difficult. Plus, she connected us to the most perfect home for our family! We’re so happy! We could have tried to do it on our own, but having Christine giving us the right steps to check, a person to ask more personal experience questions and overall giving us the reassurance we needed to happily transition was well worth every penny!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
