Our people make a difference
one move at a time
From assisting in a transferee's home sale to the shipping of household goods, RE/MAX Relocation assures a smooth, professional and economic beginning to the relocation process.
Home Sale Assistance
Our home sale assistance programs typically include these main objectives:
- Reducing relocation costs by increasing the probability of an employee-generated sale.
- Actively assisting the transferee in the marketing effort during the offer period to maximize sales price and reduce stress.
- Completing amended- or appraised-value acquisitions to tax protect the transaction - and quickly provide an accounting of the transaction to ensure the employee's smooth and timely transition to the destination location.
Appraisals
We can furnish a list of approved, qualified independent professional appraisers to the employee. We can review all appraisals to ensure accuracy and resolve discrepancies. Any concerns or unusual situations are discussed with the corporate client before the employee receives information regarding fair-market value.
Amended Value Transactions
When appropriate conditions outlined in a client's specific policy are met, we can amend a home buyout offer to match a higher good-faith offer received by the employee.
Equity Advances
We can provide equity funds to the employee for the down payment or deposit on the destination home.
Real Estate Agent Selection
Your Account Executive can provide a list of qualified real estate professionals. Most of the agents we recommend hold a professional designation in the area of relocation. The Account Executive will work with the employee and listing agent to develop a strong marketing strategy to help ensure the home does not go into inventory.
Acquired Property
If a home must be taken into inventory, we can assume all responsibility for maintenance and marketing. The Account Executive will immediately develop an updated, aggressive marketing strategy and provide a detailed forecast of all holding and selling costs.
Marketing Assistance
When purchase of the employee's home is not part of a client's service options, we can provide the employee with the independent knowledge that is necessary for him or her to secure the upper range of value when selling the home.
Closing Assistance
We can guide the employee through the entire closing process, or if policy calls for it, we can duplicate the outside buyer's offer and then directly handle the resale.
Buyer Value Option
The buyer value option is a cost-effective home purchase program that enables employees to immediately focus on the destination city and new job. Costs are minimized because an appraisal and initial buyout offer are not required. We buy the home based on a bona fide offer your employee receives from the marketplace. This gives your employee immediate access to equity – while we shepherd the transaction with the ultimate buyer to final closing.
Listing Assistance
Whether or not a corporate client's employees or new-hire candidates are transferring, we can provide market value analysis and consultation on selecting real estate sales assistance. When coupled with basic home-finding assistance, the RE/MAX Listing Assistance Program can provide a client's employees with a highly effective relocation management program at minimal cost.
Lease-break Assistance
If an employee has been renting in the departure city and the transfer requires early termination of a lease, we can recommend steps to secure the most favorable lease termination and/or provide direct assistance in negotiating the termination. In the destination city, we can help renters negotiate a lease that will make a future lease-break easier to accomplish.
Household Goods Shipping
We assign a transportation counselor to each individual transferee. The counselor selects a reputable carrier, secures competitive discounts, schedules guaranteed packing, loading and delivery dates, audits invoices, and if necessary, assists with claims.
