Hi I am Lauren! Originally I’m from London but travelled the world as a Senior Stylist. I spent 5 years living in the Caribbean where I met my husband Dave and we now have 3 young boys and 3 dogs.
We left Grand Cayman to travel around Europe for 6 months where I completely fell in love with The Netherlands. It is the perfect place with the perfect balance of work and family.

We cannot recommend highly enough We R Expats as a support service for buying a house in the Netherlands. From the moment of reaching out to Jason to the point of signing on the line for our new property to process was quick, transparent and effortless on our side at all stages. We R Expats were able to offer a full end to end service on buying a property and Jason clearly explained all the stages of the process and how the We R Expats team could support in managing each stage. As both my wife and I are not from the Netherlands and also have busy jobs it was a little daunting having to figure out the details of the Dutch housing market and find property ourselves. It was a godsend to be offered such a service from We R Expats and we were made to feel at ease right from the start. Melanie the Makelaar was a joy to work with – making the process of finding the right property easy and enjoyable and being able to offer very good advise when it came to location and what offer to make. Arranging a mortgage and the other financials through their financial advisor David couldn’t have been any easier and more transparent process. And all other services required such as surveys, valuations, etc were arranged in a very efficient manner! Above all, though it was always a pleasure working with the We R Expats team and they always made it feel like they were just your friends helping you find a new home. Thank you!
