Client reviews

Quietly, one family at a time.

We landed in Guadalajara with four suitcases and a dog. By the end of the week we had a house, internet, a bank account and a doctor. It felt like arriving to family.
Susan & Robert M. · Portland, USA → Ajijic
I compared three relocation companies. LRS was the only one that gave me a written plan before asking for anything. Everything happened exactly as promised.
Daniel K. · Toronto, Canada → San Antonio
As a digital nomad I needed fast internet and a short lease. They found both in six days and drove me around until I was sure.
Lena F. · Berlin, Germany → West Ajijic
Immigration paperwork terrified us. They came to every appointment, translated everything, and our residency was approved without a single problem.
