JOHANNESBURG

Relocating to Johannesburg with your familyThe question isn’t whether other people love Johannesburg. It’s whether you could feel at home here.

Let us work that out together. I help you explore schools, find a home and get to know the people and places that could make Johannesburg yours.

A little about me

Hello, I am Hannah.

I moved here from the UK in 2010, with plenty of questions of my own. Sixteen years later, Johannesburg is home, and I love helping other families get to know it.

We can visit schools together, explore neighbourhoods and stop for coffee along the way. I will help you think through the practical details, and show you some of the things that make living here such a pleasure.

“After three weeks of searching for houses, we lost two and I was emotionally finished. Then I came across Hannah, and what a difference. She showed us two properties that matched our criteria perfectly, talked us through all the security elements and even introduced us to others who had moved into the area.”

There is plenty to look forward to.

Questions about relocating to Johannesburg

Where should we start?
Tell me what matters to each of you: school, work, budget, the things you enjoy and anything that worries you. We will put those priorities in order before looking at houses. A Discovery Session gives us time to do that together.
What if I am unsure which service I need?
You do not need to choose before getting in touch. Tell me where you are with the move and I will suggest where to begin.
What should we arrange before a look-and-see trip?
Book school appointments first and ask about places in the right year groups. Then agree a shortlist of areas and homes. Leave time between appointments for traffic, questions and a break. I can help plan the itinerary and join you for Relocation Days.
Can you help us find a home?
Yes. I help with rentals and purchases through Home Joburg as an eXp Realty South Africa property practitioner. Once we know your areas, budget and school routes, we can focus the search. I will explain who I represent, what is included and any separate property agreement or fees before we begin.
Can I get help after we arrive?
Yes. Global Executive Concierge includes personal settling-in support through your first 90 days here. Beyond Coffee is our WhatsApp community for local questions, introductions and ideas for enjoying South Africa. Ask me about joining when we talk.
Can you help with visas, tax and legal questions?
I can introduce you to relevant specialists. Immigration, tax and legal advice come from them, with their scope and fees agreed separately.
