About Us
Our mission is to simplify and streamline the relocation process.
In 2005, Brenda Levis founded NYC Navigator and dreamed of expanding the company’s footprint into her “roots” back at home. As a transplanted New Englander, born and raised in New Hampshire, and having resided in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Brenda and her team are excited to launch New England Navigator!
The company is an internationally recognized, award-winning, women-owned Destination Services and Settling-In Provider with headquarters in New York City. We walk alongside the expatriate and their family throughout the entire relocation experience.
We are professional calm and caring solution finders. We listen to your needs and are your advocate to help you recreate home. We don’t just “talk the talk”, we have traveled and lived internationally, and are respectful of different cultures, backgrounds and special needs. At New England Navigator, we act with the utmost integrity both in our interactions with you and on your behalf. We are connected. We pride ourselves on operating independently of any supplier affiliation such as real-estate firms or van lines. We select and partner only with those service providers who share our demand for excellence and commitment to our clients.

DATA PRIVACY & SECURITY & QUALITY CONTROL
We take our clients’ privacy very seriously and are committed to protecting their privacy and data security. In line with NYC Navigator, our privacy policy outlines how we collect, store and process information; who we might share the information with, and our practices regarding your personal data. We process personal information for carefully considered and specific purposes that matter to our corporate clients and relocating employees’ interests. This enables us to enhance the services we provide. This will usually be in the form of school research, housing information, special interests, and facilitating utilities set up.
New England Navigator complies with the EU’s GDPR rules to keep personal data private and, upon request, to have the right for any personal data related to an individual to be forgotten. Unless there is a reason for which we believe there is a Legitimate Interest, we will use personal information (including email addresses) only for the purposes in which we have consent. Our employees and consultants are trained how to handle confidential personal and company-specific data and are knowledgeable about applicable privacy laws.
We conduct quality control surveys and measure a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) to ensure that the assistance we provide consistently exceeds expectations. Our KPI’s are aligned with our founding company principles and include specific metrics. These results provide useful data on how we can further fine-tune our services.
What our clients are saying about us
COMPASS CLUB EVENTS
Our exclusive networking events are organized to connect relocatees with like-minded individuals – to match fellow countrymen & country-women, language speakers, and families, who have children of similar ages. These organized events introduce our clients to New England, help foster connections, and help them integrate into their community. We are delighted to share seasonal activities – getting them out doing what the locals are doing and not feeling like a “foreigner” in a strange place.
MAKE NEW ENGLAND YOUR HOME
WE INTRODUCE YOU TO YOUR NEW COMMUNITY
At New England Navigator we understand the sense of loneliness and isolation that can overwhelm relocatees after their initial transfer ‘honeymoon’ phase is over. The relocated employee has the novelty of a new office, professional colleagues, and the comfort of the work routine – often the accompanying spouse/partner is looking for a meaningful pursuit – wondering who to go to with questions and how to make new friends.
