What does a relocation agent do?

By
Real Estate Agent with Real Estate One 6501304423

As a Michigan relocation agent we are sometimes called on to find out many things for our Michigan home buyers.  Sure they could fire up their computer and get the information themselves.  But I understand that sometimes the buyers are so stressed about the whole move that they need to hand off some of the duties.

As a Michigan relocation agent I have found house cleaners, dentists, plumbers, roofers.  I have made side trips during house showings to see a Montessori school.  I have taken tours of downtown Plymouth and Northville so people relocating to Michigan would get the feel of town.  I have almost toyed with getting a fake microphone and one of those tour guide hats when I pull into the town.

Sometimes home buyers need to know where to go to church when in town, or where the nearest Maggie Moo's is, or what hotels have a great pool.  Out of state home buyers need to know where the good restaurants are, or what parks have bike trails. 

I have gone to open up the house before the buyers arrive so the painters, or carpet cleaners can get in.  Or so that a contractor can give them a bid before they arrive.  That is just part of my job.   

If you are moving to Michigan from out of state, I understand that my job is to help you find a town, a home that you and your family "fit" into.  Where you will feel comfortable.  Feel free to call or email me if you have questions about the area.
