Welcome to Munich Relocate!
We are Karin
Kesting and
Susanne Fischer.
We’re here to make your move to Munich
as smooth and stress-free as possible!
With almost 30 years of combined experience, we offer a comprehensive range of services to support you or your employees every step of the way.
Our services
Whether you’re relocating from abroad or within Germany, we provide customized solutions tailored to your specific needs. We’ll guide you through every step of the process – from the initial planning to settling into your new home and beyond.
Personal consultation
and planning
Every relocation journey starts with understanding your unique needs. During our one-on-one consultation, we listen, learn, and create a customized relocation plan just for you. From timelines to personal preferences, we make sure every detail is covered so you can focus on the excitement of your move.
Visa and
residence permits
Navigating visa requirements and residence permits can be complex. With our expertise, we simplify the process, ensuring all documents are correctly completed and submitted on time. We’ll guide you through the requirements and stand by your side until everything is finalized.
Home search
and viewings
Finding a home in Munich’s highly competitive housing market is no easy task – but with our expertise, it’s achievable. We take the time to understand your specific needs, search for apartments that align with your preferences, arrange viewings, and provide expert advice to address all your questions and concerns. While the market is challenging, our personalized approach has ensured that every client we’ve assisted has found a place to call home.
Administrative services
and dealing with authorities
Navigating local administration can be complex, but we’re here to guide you. We arrange appointments and assist you with registration, obtaining a tax ID, changing your tax class, applying for permits, and more. Our familiarity with local authorities ensures a smooth process every step of the way.
Registration
(including vehicles)
Registering your place of residence is a legal requirement in Germany, and we make it simple and unbureaucratic. Whether it’s a residence, a vehicle or even a dog: we make sure that all registrations run smoothly and that all regulations are complied with.
Family support
Moving to a new culture is an adventure for the entire family and should be fun. We provide specialized support for your spouse and family, helping them settle into Munich with ease. From school searches to navigating daily life, we’ll help you adapt to Munich’s unique way of life and feel at home faster.
Departure service
When it’s time to move on, our departure service ensures a smooth transition. From canceling contracts to moving out of your apartment, we’ll handle all the details so you can focus on the next chapter of your journey.
Other services
Relocation doesn’t stop at finding a home or registering your address. We help you set up utilities like electricity and internet, open a bank account, and find the right insurance. Need support with mobile contracts, language courses, or something else entirely? Just ask. We offer a wide range of additional services tailored to your individual needs – many of which can be arranged on request.
