About Us
WHO WE ARE
Retirement Advisors specializes in the relocation of American retirees to Colombia. We love what we do. We devote 100% of our time, resources and staff to helping retirees relocate and improve their quality of life in Colombia. Our bi-lingual home assistance staff are trained to the highest US standards by state-of-the-art computer technology. Colombian Attorney Ivonne Barland started practicing law in 2001 and has offices in Florida and Colombia.
We are selective in accepting new cases, to give our current clients the attention that they deserve. This particular attention that our clients receive is the single most important service we provide.
Each of our staff specializes in the relocation process and can all help along the way. Any question they can not answer immediately they will get you the answer for. When we know, you will know.
Therefore, we can stay on top of the ever-changing laws in the immigration, probate and real estate field.
