Your Expat Butler

Your Expat Butler is a Utrecht-based relocation agency that helps expats and students find rental housing in the Netherlands. It also works with companies moving employees who need help with a home search. The agency describes its coverage as nationwide: although its office is in Utrecht, it supports searches in other cities and serves people who are still abroad as well as those already living in the country.

The search begins with the client’s needs and preferred area. The team reviews public listings and contacts agents, landlords, and property owners in its network; the company says some of those opportunities are not listed on public portals. It offers relocation packages for different types of moves, so the scope—from a home search to broader coordination—depends on the service selected.

Support can continue through the selection process: arranging viewings, attending with the client, or viewing a home on the client’s behalf when they are still overseas, preparing a rental proposal, and helping with lease paperwork. The agency presents this follow-through as a way to coordinate steps that, for someone moving from another country, often happen remotely and on a tight timeline.

Beyond housing, Your Expat Butler lists practical settling-in services such as utility setup, car leasing or purchase, and furnishing. For employers, the home search is connected to relocating new staff; for students and individuals, it is about finding a rental that fits their location and budget. The company offers an initial consultation to understand the move before deciding what kind of support is needed.

Your Expat Butler says it had helped 1,400 expats relocate to the Netherlands, a figure its website presents as of September 2026. The agency also works with companies moving employees, as well as individuals and students. Its Utrecht base serves as a point of contact for searches that may take place in other Dutch cities.

The company publishes local guides to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht, along with a free initial consultation to understand a move. Its service is especially relevant when a client is abroad and cannot attend every viewing; in those cases, the agency describes options for remote coordination and support.

The home search is offered through packages whose scope varies by move, from finding rental options to coordinating additional settling-in tasks. Because availability depends on each market and request, the starting point is to agree on which tasks the team will handle and which remain with the client.
