  • I’m Shirley, co-founder of Next Stop Valencia and a relocation specialist dedicated to helping families transition smoothly to life in Valencia. We moved to Valencia with our family for a job opportunity, knowing little about the city before our first visit—but I instantly fell in love! It exceeded all my expectations. What I love most is that it’s the perfect balance—not too big, yet not too small—offering everything within easy reach and making daily life more convenient. Well, except for Spanish bureaucracy… but that’s exactly why we’re here to help! 😊

    As a mother of four (ages 3 to 13), I understand firsthand the challenges of relocating—finding the right schools, adapting to a new culture, and embracing a different way of life. Valencia’s ease, safety, and strong sense of community made it the perfect place for our family, and I’m passionate about helping others experience the same.

    With a background in Marketing, I bring a keen eye for finding not just a house but a true home that fits each family's lifestyle. My passion for architecture, real estate, and design allows me to approach relocation with a thoughtful and personalized touch. Outside of building this business and helping families, I enjoy exploring local flea markets, collecting vintage finds, traveling, and, of course, experiencing Valencia’s incredible food and coffee culture

In Their Words: Moving to Valencia with Our Help

  • Shirley was a welcoming guide to Valencia during our pre-move visit to the city. With her help, we visited and received information about potential neighborhoods suited to our needs, both outside and within the city—along with many tidbits only someone who has gone through the move would know. We were able to see several types of apartments, were assisted with opening a bank account, and planned the next steps needed. We would highly recommend Next Stop Valencia to anyone considering a move to the city.

    Tal Fort Family

  • We used Next Stop Valencia's services to find a rental house prior to our move to Valencia. We loved working with them as everything was extremely organized and efficient! They listened to our needs and desires and together we mapped out several optional houses. They scheduled all the viewings and came with us to look at them. It was extremely helpful to have them with us so we could receive opinions from those who already live in Valencia (regarding the location, traveling time to certain areas etc.). They asked the agents/landlords the right questions, helped negotiate if needed, and of course finalizing the contract. I would highly recommend using their services. We found our dream house thanks to them!

    The Maxwell Family

  • We arrived to Valencia and got help from Shirley to find apartments that suited us. We were not very familiar with the neighborhoods in Valencia, and Shirley guided us to the right areas and accompanied us throughout the long-term rental process. The experience was very positive, and we highly recommend her!

    Tunkle family

  • Shirley is incredibly sharp and knowledgeable, yet she delivers her expertise with genuine warmth and kindness. She makes you feel supported throughout the entire process, answering countless questions with patience and providing insights that you simply couldn't find elsewhere. Her professional approach is matched by her personal touch – she truly cares about helping families settle successfully in Valencia.
