DIY Move
The Smooth Landing
Moving to the US 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 don’t just assemble furniture — we build a home. We source items tailored to your taste and budget, receive deliveries, set up lighting, build every piece, wash your sheets, and make the beds before your flight lands.
Arrive to a ready-to-use kitchen. We stock your fridge and pantry with fresh essentials, kid-friendly snacks, and first-day groceries so you don’t have to hunt for food after a long flight.
Navigating US systems without local history can be tricky. We prepare all necessary documentation with you, escort you to the right bank branches and mobile providers, and walk you through utility connections so you get set up quickly without unnecessary deposits or delays.
We explain exactly how the US credit system works and show you how to start building your score from day one — even before receiving an SSN — helping you avoid costly long-term mistakes.
Learning to shop like a local saves thousands of dollars. We take you on hands-on orientation tours — Costco, Target, Trader Joe’s — to show you how to leverage store memberships, navigate American retail, and buy affordably from day one.
Settling your kids quickly brings peace of mind. We help you understand local school districts, assemble required residency and health paperwork, and guide you step-by-step through enrollment in towns like Brookline, Newton, Lexington, Wellesley, and Cambridge.
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 discuss your timeline, family needs, apartment size, budget, and neighborhood priorities.
While you wrap up loose ends back home, we handle furniture sourcing, assembly, utility setup, and grocery stocking.
Walk into a fully furnished, warm home with made beds, working Wi-Fi, and a stocked kitchen.
We walk you through banking, phone setups, school registrations, and guided store tours until you feel completely confident in your new city.
Back in 2012, my wife and I relocated from Israel to California with our 4-month-old baby girl. We didn’t know a soul. Our container didn’t arrive for two long months, leaving us borrowing basic items and sleeping on blow-up mattresses in an empty apartment for weeks.
We experienced every single friction point firsthand: finding housing with zero US credit history, assembling furniture while holding a crying baby, securing SSNs, navigating US health insurance, and finding the right daycares and schools over the years.
Combining my firsthand experience living in the US allowed me to master the system from the inside out — from smart shopping hacks to complex local bureaucracy. What started as helping friends relocating to Boston turn empty keys into warm homes became Smooth Relocation — a dedicated concierge service designed to give relocating families the soft landing we wish we had.
"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."
"This summer we relocated to Boston. To cope with an unreasonable amount of tasks, we looked for help. Completely by chance, we came across a recommendation post about Nir. Nir helped us in an extraordinary way. Professional, understanding, available, and service-oriented. He helped us focus on exactly what was needed in the house, what was more important and what was less, what would suit each room, what was worth ordering, and from where — all with precise explanations. On top of all that, he also set us up with Shiran, the perfect person for assembling and building all the furniture in the house. Nir took care of the coordination and organized instructions, and Shiran has golden hands. So when we landed in our new home, we had assembled beds, mattresses, rugs, closets, tables, and even food in the fridge. It saved us a huge, huge amount of the difficult hassle of the first few days in a new place. I warmly recommend this winning team."
