Local experts: we know every neighborhood, store, and shortcut
Moving to a new city is a big leap. There's an ocean of logistics between you and a home that feels like yours. We bridge that gap, completely.
We find the best deals on furniture and appliances, physically go to stores, purchase everything, assemble it, and have your home picture-perfect before you arrive.
We don't just buy, we design. We create a coherent, stylish living space that reflects your taste and works for your life.
You land, you open the fridge, there's food. We grocery shop before your arrival so your first night is comfortable, not stressful.
We pick you up from the airport, show you your neighborhood, take you to open a bank account, get a US phone plan, and give you the local intel you'd otherwise spend months learning.
We set up your internet, receive deliveries, assemble furniture, hang artwork, and make sure everything works so your home is truly ready the moment you walk in.
We take you to Costco, Target, HomeGoods, and Trader Joe's and show you how the American shopping system works. Which memberships save you real money, how bulk buying works, where to get the best value, and all the shortcuts locals know. You leave informed and confident, not overwhelmed.
From an empty apartment to a fully furnished, stocked, and styled home. This is what every completed project looks like.
Every engagement is tailored to you. Here's the typical flow.
We learn your timeline, apartment size, priorities, and budget. We create a custom plan just for you.
We source furniture, build it, stock your kitchen, and set up utilities and WiFi: all before your flight lands.
Airport pickup, home walkthrough, neighborhood orientation. You arrive to a life that's ready.
Bank account, cell plan, local errands, store tours. We stay with you until you feel at home in your new city.
Smooth Relocation was founded by someone who has lived through multiple cross-country and international relocations. Over time, I got to know new cities deeply: their neighborhoods, stores, its rhythms. And again and again, I found myself helping Israeli friends and families who were relocating there, setting up their apartments, taking them to open bank accounts, stocking their fridge, showing them around.
After doing it informally so many times, it made sense to turn it into a proper service. I understand exactly what a newcomer needs to feel at home fast — wherever in the US they're landing. That's what Smooth Relocation is here for.
I also know what it feels like to do it alone. In 2012, I moved to California with a newborn. No guide, no network, no idea where to start. I had to figure out daycare, the school system, pediatricians, neighborhoods - everything from scratch, while also trying to build a career and keep a baby happy in a brand new place. Moving with kids adds a whole layer of pressure that people underestimate. I know how to take that pressure off, and how to make the whole experience feel exciting for the entire family, kids included.
"We landed on a Tuesday evening after a 12-hour flight with three exhausted kids. I was dreading walking into an empty apartment. Instead, the beds were made, the fridge was full, and there were fresh flowers on the counter. I actually cried. This service is unlike anything I expected — it felt like someone genuinely cared about our first night."
"We were moving with three kids and had no idea where to start. They put together our entire shopping list, found better prices than anything I’d found on my own, and then assembled everything while we were still in Israel. By the time we arrived in Newton, every room was set up. Even the kids’ rooms. I tell every family I know — just do it."
