Since 2003 I have been assisting hundreds of foreign clients successfully relocate and fully integrate into Andorra. Thanks to decades of experience living in Andorra and working with the Andorran Administration, Andorran banks and the Andorran Private Industry, I’m able to offer my clients an integral service, from the moment they first arrive in Andorra until they are fully settled, including everything in between like obtaining residency, buying their ideal home, setting up a business and sharing my knowledge of Andorra.Invico is one of the very few Realty and Relocation companies working from within Andorra who specialize in working with English speaking clients, and I’m one of the only two natural English speakers who are licensed and accredited to offer real estate and relocation services in Andorra.What really motivates me to work every day is meeting and helping interesting people from all walks of life, from very high net worth families to digital nomads, who have made the life changing decision to relocate to this fantastic little Country called Andorra.
