Landed β€” Get Settled in New Zealand
The Kiwi American Suite
Runway  β€Ί  Fast Track  β€Ί  Landed

You made it.
Now let's get you settled.

The job's signed. The visa's sorted. This is the part where it all feels like too much at once β€” so let's turn the chaos into a calm, simple plan, with the right people already in your corner.

The stage where most people panic

Suddenly there are forty things to do and no obvious order to do them in. Movers. Currency. A place to live. Furniture. Schools. Pets. Closing up your whole US life β€” all at the same time.

Here's the truth: the New Zealand side is far easier to set up than it feels right now. You don't have to figure it out alone, and you don't have to do it in a panic. That's what Landed is for β€” we sort the chaos into a clear plan, and I connect you directly to the people I trust to handle each piece.

What's included

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Personalized planning sessions with Tara

Up to 3 calls. We map exactly what you need based on your family size, your timeline, and where in New Zealand you're headed.

βœ…

Your sequenced move checklist

US-side closeout and NZ setup, laid out in the order that actually makes sense β€” so nothing slips through the cracks.

🀝

Warm introductions to my trusted partners

International movers, currency exchange, rental-finding, and home furnishing β€” so your house can be sorted before you land.

🐾

Pet relocation guidance

Bringing animals? I'll connect you with the right people and walk you through what to expect.

🏫

School & region guidance

I'll connect you with the regional ambassador who knows your destination best β€” schools, neighborhoods, the real local picture.

πŸ‘‹

A personal welcome from our national ambassador

Arrive already knowing someone. A friendly call before you fly, so New Zealand feels less like the unknown.

πŸ’›

From My Kids to Yours

A guide written for your children β€” what moving to New Zealand is really like for a kid, from the ones who've done it. So the whole family feels ready, not just the grown-ups.

πŸ’¬

Community access for the landing phase

Surrounded by people who've just done exactly what you're doing β€” or are right there beside you.

🌏

Belong New Zealand community

For when you're on the ground. Join Belong New Zealand β€” our post-arrival community of Americans already living it β€” for local meetups, regional ambassadors, and real-time answers for your first weeks in New Zealand.

The part that pays for itself

Landed costs $450.
Your partner discounts save you $900+.

Over years of helping families land here, I've negotiated exclusive deals with the companies you'll actually use. The discounts alone more than cover the cost of the program β€” twice over.

$100 off through my tax partner
$100
Pet relocation
$200 off plus "mates rates" from my pet shipper
$200
International movers

Your member savings
$900+

And that's before 5% off your full door-to-door move with my moving partner β€” often $750+ on its own. Exact savings depend on your move; these are conservative, real-world numbers.

My promise to you

If we get on our first planning call and you don't feel clearer and more in control of your move, tell me and I'll refund you. This stage should feel lighter β€” not heavier.
