12 While living in Cyprus Create a friendly environment for the client It is a customer-oriented department introduced by our office. We tried to develop a personal approach towards our clients through the daily routine while we manage their basic technical services. Working with international clients for many years and gaining experience, we concluded that, clients mostly need help in small details for the everyday living. For instance, how they will get along during their stay in Cyprus, rather than provide to them information that are too technical and not been very useful while living in Cyprus. Customer satisfaction is a matter of foremost importance to us. Our target is, the client to be happy even after we finish our engagements and the technical assistance. With the goal of maximizing customer satisfaction in mind our firm established a professional network based on accommodation, educational institutions (schools, colleges, Universities) for children and adults, guidance and providing information for the basic needs of the clients and also for medical insurance policies.

Our services Find a suitable accommodation for rent or purchase (Not from specific developer). Home for each and every individual is a matter of great importance. Facilities of the house should match the client s needs. Our experience justifies the fact that the location of a house or business, plays a major role for the everyday satisfaction of the client. It should match with the ideal for the clients location. Medical insurance assistance Basic medical insurance is required by the migration. However, clients might need extra medical insurance in order to cover fully their needs and feel secure for their own medical issues.
