Why it's free
Our partner agencies charge their fee only on a successful placement. The advisory portion is what we choose to publish openly — partly because the questions repeat, and partly because expat families deserve the same factual density that London and New York concierge agencies provide to their clients.
In plain English: the playbook is what we'd hand you if you walked into our office. We just put it in a PDF so you can read it on the plane.
