Hi, "Central point of coordination" for a UK family relocating to Northern California only works if that person already knows the area well enough to make decisions without being directed — which neighbourhoods suit a family coming from the UK, which school districts are worth the housing premium, which contractors are reliable, and how Silicon Valley's pace differs from what the family is used to. I live in the Bay Area and have supported families and executives through exactly this kind of transition — neighbourhood research and shortlisting, school enrolment coordination, vendor sourcing, utility and service setup before arrival, and ongoing household scheduling once settled. I'm comfortable working across UK and US time zones during the remote phase and transitioning to on-the-ground support once you arrive. Google Workspace, task management tools, and clear checklist systems are how I work by default. I anticipate next steps rather than waiting to be asked, which is what a relocation like this actually requires. I'd welcome a call to learn more about your timeline and where you're considering settling. Best regards
