Relocation Package Help

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Ambassador Real Estate

I would like to offer relocation packages but I'm not sure what to put in it.  I would appreciate any and all recommendations you have.

Is this something that you offer?

What's in it?

Do you email, snail mail or send a CD?

If you send the info on a CD, what software program do you use?


What else am I forgetting?

 

Thanks for your help!  I just love all the comraderie and support here at Active Rain. You guys ROCK!

5 Things YOU Need to Know Before Buying Your 1st Home

We are putting together a relocation package ourselves right now.  I would not put it on CD - don't assume that everyone is computer savvy, or has access to a computer.  A local non-profit puts together a 1" thick package with brochures from local sites, activities, area tourism brochures, maps, places of interest, list of things you'll need when you move (utilities etc..).  Put items in nice pocket folder with your information on the front.  Good luck.

Connie,

I tend to make up relo packets more specific to the persons needs.  If they have children I will include school information, and if they are seniors, perhaps some of the senior services and events in that area. If you have a specific city they want to live in, go to the chamber of commerce, city hall, police departments, they all usually have material for people coming into the community.

I still gather materials and snail mail them.  It's also nice if they are traveling to get to your city to have something to read in the car.

You posted this right the middle of a contest for military relocation contest, so check out all the entries for ideas.  In fact, why don't you participate to get a head start on your own relocation package.

June - great ideas, thanks!

Mike - since you personalize them, do you just wait for the request and then ask them what they are looking for before assembling it?

Jason - I love yor online version.  I think I may work on that first and use it as an outline for a hardcopy version.

David - I didn't realize the Chamber has a packet. I will definately check that out.

Margaret - I'm going to get started for the contest.  Thanks!

 

Thank you all!
