Client Care and Sales Lead at Moving to Spain

Amanda leads client care and sales at Moving to Spain and reviews the site’s Valencia housing and general relocation content for accuracy, drawing on two years working in the Valencia rental market and her own move from Seattle in 2023.

About

Amanda Chigbrow is Client Care and Sales Lead at Moving to Spain, where she owns client engagement, account management, and the client-facing calls that guide people through deciding on, relocating to, and settling into life in Spain.

She moved from Seattle to Valencia with her husband and two children in August 2023. The move was not smooth. After filing a non-lucrative visa at the San Francisco consulate, shifting visa rules forced the family back to the United States to reapply under a different route, a costly and exhausting detour that shapes how she now supports clients facing the same system.

Before Spain, Amanda spent over a decade owning and operating hospitality businesses in Seattle, including the city’s only Spanish restaurant and a well-known speakeasy bar. That background in running a business, managing bookings, and looking after people under pressure carries directly into how she handles client care and complex, high-stakes relocation decisions.

Over the past two years, she has worked in the Valencia rental market, placing more than 100 families in homes and running over 250 consultations on relocating to Spain and navigating housing in the Valencia region. She has explored Valencia’s neighborhoods on the ground, from Alboraya to Nazaret and Rocafort to the city center, which is the basis for the location guidance she reviews.
