3 Reasons to Relocate to France with a SNPRM Member

What Exactly is SNPRM?

Navigating through a maze of hand-holders and relocation companies can be overwhelming, given all the options available on the market.

Unfortunately, there are many tales of inexperienced agents, companies relying on outdated information, and a prioritization of profit over client care and industry ethics, resulting in clients feeling stranded and frustrated. So, how can you be sure you’re making the right choice? What sets apart a trusted relocation service from the rest? The answer: SNPRM accreditation. 

SNPRM, the Syndicat des Professionnels de la Relocation et de la Mobilité, is a union dedicated to advancing the development of France’s relocation industry. The first French relocation company was established in 1978, and with its success and a growing demand, many more followed suit. These growing companies needed support, so in 1995 SNPRM was founded with the purpose of representing the mobility and relocation sectors in France, as well as advocating for them.

This involves yearly training and conferences where industry practices are reviewed and developed further. You can rest assured that the company you’re working with knows all the current ins and outs of its business, which minimizes the risk of any bad surprises later on.

3. Quality Assurance – SNPRM’s members are held to high standards of regulation, advocating for excellence in the industry. Through direct negotiations with France’s Minister of Economy, and a point of reference and an ethics charter they’ve enacted, you are ensured that their members are providing quality service and are upholding their industry’s standards.
