Toni Vanhanen, Founder, Smart Move Relocation Latvia
Smart Move in Riga, Latvia is owned and operated by Toni Vanhanen, an American national with over 20 years of experience in the international service industry. After relocating to Latvia herself in 2001, she decided to address the many challenges of moving to a new country by founding Smart Move Relocation.
For Toni and her team, meeting expats who are relocating to Riga or elsewhere in the Baltics is a passion close to their own hearts and experiences. We warmly welcome all expats and provide them with steady support in their transition.
The Smart Move team consists of dedicated consultants ready to listen to our clients and offer a comprehensive array of services designed to facilitate the smoothest relocation experience possible.
What our Clients are saying
“The careful planning of our relocation services by Smart Move Relocation made this move so much easier for us to adjust quickly to living in our new home in Riga. We continue to turn to Smart Move Relocation with questions and they always are helpful and ready to assist.”
Jordane Czapski
Latvia Leader, Decathlon
“Smart Move Relocation helped several of my colleagues move to Latvia, so when we arrived with our four children, we asked for their assistance. They found us temporary accommodation while helping us identify a home which suited us perfectly in a location which was convenient to both my work and the children’s school. The assistance from Smart Move continued until we were comfortably settled in our new home and neighborhood.”
Enrique Garcia
CEO, Cemex
“When our bank opened a new customer service centre in Riga, we used the services of Smart Move Relocation to convince 15 employees to relocate to Riga by offering well-planned orientation tours followed by finding them all new homes. The services provided were highly successful and greatly appreciated!”
