Global Citizen Solutions was created by people with first-hand experience in buying property abroad. Our team members are experienced in moving between European and non-European countries, and we understand how daunting the process of relocation can be.

We are a multicultural and multilingual firm, with varied skills. Our committed sales team has a strong background in finance, hospitality, design, architecture, and property development.
