If you work for a company that provides relocation services then chances are they have called me or someone with a job similar to mine to help with the process. Many larger companies have relocation services to assist their business which are staffed with licensed real estate agents to help during your move.
Part of that assistance includes finding you a Realtor® both at your current location and at your new location as well. Our job isn't to show you houses but we do understand all about relocation and how difficult it might be for you and your family. We are here to be a conduit to help find you the right person with the local area knowledge and expertise wherever you are going.
Over time we develop relationships with Realtor's® across the county and learn to know who is responsive to our clients, who knows the area well and who meets the requirements set by our corporate clients. Most of the time our only chance to meet the other agents is through phone screening, talking with their brokers and checking references. If an agent works with us once and the clients are happy then chances are we are going to call that agent again the next time the company has a move to another location.
We don't rack up awards to put on our walls, we don't get to be #1 in the press, our only accolades are knowing that if your move is successful and you get settled easily in your new location that we have done a good job. So if your company has asked you to take on a new assignment and they have a relocation company that works with them, don't worry, the agent on the other end is just like me. Looking out for your best interests and doing all we can to help you make a smooth transition to your new home.
