YES Valencia

I wish I could give MORE THAN 5 stars for the help I received from Zanda at YES Valencia!

Zanda and YES Valencia redefine what “full service” means. You’ll understand after I describe our story: I contacted Zanda in January 2023 because of the very positive comments I read in Facebook groups about her work. Zanda set up a home search schedule for my one-week visit in early March 2023. I asked her to pack the schedule full, and she did! We visited 14 different properties, 4 schools, 2 real estate attorneys, 2 accountants and 1 insurance broker in 5 very full days. Zanda was not only a master of the complicated logistics required to do this, but she also researched each of the properties prior to me seeing them and had even visited many herself. This allowed me to have very efficient meetings with the seller agents and owners and to ask intelligent questions. We made an offer on a property the following week and after the remodel is completed next month it will be our dream home in Valencia.

In addition to helping us find the house and negotiate for it, she connected us with the following professionals:
- An excellent builder who has done high quality work on our 6+ month remodel (we bought a 1940s piso that needed a lot of work)
- Our architect
- Our banker
- Our accountant
- Our real estate attorney

Zanda also helped with all the paperwork required of us to live here after we obtained our non-lucrative visas. I granted her power of attorney so she could deal directly with the house purchase paperwork. She also did all the work to get us our padrons from the ayuntamiento and our TIE cards from the national police. She even accompanied us to the meetings required for these. She arranged all our utilities for us. Oh, and she translated for us at the property purchase closing at the notario’s office.

I have had the privilege of working with some very positive people who are very detail oriented and can make things happen. Zanda is at the top of the list of these people. She is an excellent and proactive communicator. You will never be surprised or have to “ping” her. She thinks ahead and solves problems before they become problems. And she is tireless in making sure that everything is done correctly. She follows up on everything. I don’t think I have ever worked with anyone with the high level of project management and communications skills that Zanda exhibited while working with us.

Another thing I loved about working with YES Valencia is that they are very transparent about their fees and any relationships they have with vendors. Zanda really earned my trust.

Now that we are here in Valencia, I have run into so many people that have worked with Zanda and her sister, Linda, at YES Valencia. And everyone I have spoken with has had a very positive experience. You can add me to that list.

Linda not only finds excellent properties in the Valencia area, she also is an expert with Spanish immigration policies and issues within the Valencia province. She was instrumental in resolving our residencia renewal applications. Her assistance was outstanding in Spanish bureaucracy and language barriers.

Linda and her team were fundamental for my successful move to Valencia. They helped me in all aspects, showing also the best way to overcome all the challenges we met. We moved just 3 months ago (with a 4 months old baby!!!) but we are still in honeymoon with this new life, I'm sure that Linda's contribution to this smooth beginning played a critical role. If you plan to move to Valencia these is a team you can trust, always kind and available.

Definitely recommend Linda and Janis. They are very helpful in all aspects of life in Valencia. In addition, they are friendly, easy to work with and professional!

Zanda and Linda have been amazing so far as we prepare for our move to Valencia. From finding schools to housing to visa information, they have been amazingly thorough, kind, and encouraging, and have gone above and beyond anything we expected.

From our first Zoom meeting while still in the USA and through all our subsequent meetings with Zanda and Linda here in Valencia, the experience was extremely pleasant, professional, and actually fun. All our questions were answered promptly and we were either personally accompanied to or pointed in the right direction for everything - including our banking needs, dealing with local bureaucracy, internet & phone service, apartment leasing, etc. Our experiences getting our 'padrons' and TIEs were quick, smooth and simple because of their expertise. YES Valencia let us feel confident every step of the way - and allowed us to begin enjoying our new lives in Spain immediately. We highly recommend their services.

How do you even begin to say thank you. We moved to Valencia in November last year and Linda, Janis and Zanda have made our transition seamless or at least seamless. From my first Skype call with Linda, she had a way to make me feel at ease about our move. We have had a few problems in finding the right house but without their help I would have been a crying heap on the floor. They assisted us in finding a school for our son, arranged for bank accounts and utilities and drove us around house hunting always with a smile on their faces. To say we have been lucky to find these people in our lives for this move, has been a godsend. Thanks Moving-to-Valencia.

The whole team at YES Valencia - Linda, Zanda, and Janis, are amazing! They helped us find the perfect apartment much faster than we expected. They also handled utility setups, contracts, city hall registration and visa processing quickly and with ease. Their translation skills, knowledge of Valencia, and understanding of everything we would need took loads of stress out of what is inherently a stressful process. Hiring YES Valencia was a fantastic choice for us.

Highest recommendation. Linda went the extra mile for me, and made it easy to settle in Valencia.

Linda, Zanda and Janis of "Moving to Valencia" made the whole experience of moving to Valencia super easy... enjoyable even - as much as paperwork can be enjoyable 🙂

They helped us tremendously in sorting out our bank accounts, getting a private health care and lastly in obtaining our residency papers.

From the first meeting Linda was super informative and helpful.
She was trying to understand our circumstances and needs first, and then laid out a clear plan of action and timeline for us which made the whole process super clear and easy.

I couldn't recommend their services enough!

Thank you guys!
