"von Wrede Relocation is knowledgeable, resourceful, and dedicated.
They are familiar with all the pitfalls and difficulties a newcomer to Berlin might face, and can resolve even the most daunting with level-headed ease. I could not have managed the logistical and administrative intricacies of an international move without vWR's invaluable support."

"Great service quality and dedication. Von Wrede Relocation were always very friendly, helpful, and with very high attention to detail.
The first year of being a migrant in Germany is always so hard. The feeling of insecurity and uncertainty is a ghost haunting oneself almost on a daily basis. von Wrede Relocation was a goddam good ghostbuster to our experience! The feeling of having our backs covered was priceless! So worth it! Definitely recommended!"

I highly recommend von Wrede Relocation!"
