Relocation Consultant
The role of a Relocation Consultant is to be your single point of contact throughout the process, always available to help and guide you. She provides you with the information and tools to help make the relocation process go as smoothly as possible.
Home Marketing Assistance
The focus of a Home Marketing Assistance program is to help you to sell your home for the best possible price in the shortest period of time. We would absolutely advise you not to “go it alone.” Only 7% of homes are sold For Sale By Owner (FSBO). In addition, homes sold with the help of a real estate agent sell for 32% more.
Following strict broker and agent selection criteria your Relocation Consultant chooses two agents from different companies to meet with you. Each of them will submit a Broker Market Analysis (BMA). The agents share the BMA reports with you and the Relocation Service Company. Together you review and compare and a strategy is developed to obtain a suitable offer in a timely fashion. Advice is offered on agent selection, but ultimately the choice is yours. You will interact with highly experienced, knowledgeable, and honest real estate agents. The agents will provide unbiased and realistic data to you and to the Relocation Company.
Destination Services
Florida’s land area is 54,252 square miles. It’s 447 miles in length and 361 miles in width. It has 1,197 miles of coastline and 663 miles of beaches. It has 11,000 miles of rivers, streams and waterways. It has 67 counties and more golf courses (1,250) than any other state. If you are considering Florida, relocating can be an awesome task! If you are going to relocate to Florida, where are the best places to live in Florida?
Your Relocation Consultant will work with you to determine your priorities, preferences and sensitivities, all the things that factor into a location decision. You may have spent time in Florida and have a good feel for where you want to locate. You may have narrowed it down to 2 or 3 towns. You may still be in a quandary and thinking about a Tampa relocation OR a Melbourne relocation – on two different coasts! Whatever your situation, the Relocation Company will help you to focus, and ultimately, select a community and home that is perfect for you.
Following strict agent and broker selection criteria your Relocation Consultant will hand pick an agent (or several agents if you are considering several areas) to work with you to find the perfect community and the perfect home. Take advantage of the Relocation Company’s expertise and the expertise of their selected agents and brokers. They are the best in the business! 81% of home buyers purchase their home through a real estate agent, even though 87% first investigate on line!
Household Goods Move Management
Your household goods are not just things, they have a combination of sentimental and monetary value. Your Relocation Consultant will select a van line company that offers optimum service at the best price in your specific territory to meet with you and give you an estimate which they will then share with the Relocation Company for review. Your Relocation Consultant is available throughout the process and after your goods have been delivered, to act as an advocate for you.
You owe it to yourself to investigate what a Relocation Service Company can do for you if you are planning to relocate to Florida or buy a second home in Florida.
