Orange Homes Relocation

What Orange Homes Relocation does

Orange Homes Relocation is a boutique home-finding and relocation services company headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, founded in 2018 by co-founders Erica Ackerman and Tara Alapiessa. The firm serves expat professionals and their families relocating to the Netherlands, as well as corporate HR teams managing employee transfers, with a five-person consulting team delivering high-touch, personalized services across the full relocation lifecycle. Its portfolio is organized around three core offerings—Home Finding, Individual Relocation, and Corporate Relocation—supplemented by a specialized DAFT (Dutch American Friendship Treaty) visa application service and approximately fourteen add-on modules spanning immigration, municipality registration, education, utilities, childcare, transportation, 30% tax ruling support, household goods removal, vehicle import, pet import, short-stay accommodation, and settling-in support.

Geographically, Orange Homes operates across eight Dutch cities (Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Haarlem, Utrecht, Hilversum, Almere, Leiden, The Hague, and Rotterdam), drawing on a curated network of rental property agents throughout the Netherlands for inventory access. The company runs no proprietary technology platform—service delivery is initiated via a complimentary 40-minute consultation followed by a customized proposal under a quote-based, professional-services revenue model. The firm maintains a preferred-partner ecosystem covering tax accountants, insurance brokers, short-stay providers, shipping/removal companies, car import specialists, and business incorporation advisors to deliver end-to-end relocation support.

Commercially, Orange Homes employs a sales-led go-to-market motion targeting both individuals (bottom-up, testimonial-driven) and corporate HR departments (top-down), with marketing executed primarily through its website, blog content on expat life in the Netherlands, city-specific SEO pages, and a testimonials section. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; both founders remain actively involved in operations alongside three named consultants and at least one additional team member.
