What are corporations typically looking for in relocation services? What should we be sure to address with the proposal or in our talking with the prospect? Each corporation is different, but typically they are looking for the following from a real estate company (1) Basic real estate services : They expect professional, competent, and thorough knowledge of all aspects of the relocation process. They want their real estate partner to provide transferees professional assistance with marketing and selling their home, finding the right neighborhood and assisting with the purchase of a new one, plus coordinating a number of related details for the transferee. (2) Coordination at both ends of a move and a full range of relocation services that include buyer representation and rental assistance. Availability of special programs for their transferees on mortgage loans, temporary living, car rental, and hotels are all a plus. The single point of contact concept saves the corporate client time and makes the contact person’s job much easier. (3) Communication ease – Be accessible by phone, fax and e-mail. Have your listings available online with pictures included for transferees out of town to review. In today’s world, everyone is busy. Make communication with you and your firm easy through the use of cell phones, pagers and e-mail. (4) Knowledge of relocation management company operations . This may not be important to the smaller employers/corporations that do not offer “buyouts” or “home marketing assistance” through a relocation management company, but understanding the costs involved in a typical relocation and being able to demonstrate how your services may help reduce costs would be expected. To learn more about corporate relocation and home buyouts, enroll for “Introduction to Corporate Relocation” taught once each quarter online via CLS. The course is delivered in four (4) 90-minute sessions on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3-4:30 ET. Check the CLS Course Catalog for dates.
