Are you considering relocation due to a job or company move, or are you trying to assist a new employee in a move?
This is when you should turn to a realtor with relocation expertise. Realtors are specialists that can manage all the details involved in the relocation. Hiring a realtor enables the employee to stay focused on the new job and ensures that the move is a good experience for both the employee and his or her family.
Yes, you can get some amazing information online about the city you’re moving to, but those guides and forums can’t explain the intricacies of day-to-day life in Rochester and the surrounding area. No one knows the best commuting options, great school districts, grocery shopping, and the best area malls with the attention and accuracy of someone who lives here and who is focused on these options.
A realtor can not only help you find a new home in your new city, but they can even help you sell your current home in another city. Top real estate companies have different programs from local relocation services to global services.
Moving
Your experienced relocation realtor can refer you to a mover that will get your belongings safely to your new home. They can recommend companies that are qualified, insured, and reliable, and the realtor can probably get you a better deal than you can get on your own.
Larger national moving companies have decades of experience moving families. They can handle your piano, antiques, collectables, and anything else that requires special care in moving.
Finding the Right Home
A local realtor can ask you a series of questions to pinpoint exactly what type of neighborhood, town, school district, family activities and specific house features you are looking to buy. The realtor has in-depth knowledge of their communities and will work with you to find the perfect home for your family in a wonderful neighborhood with a great school district.
Even though you’ve purchased a home before, the process differs in different parts of the country. Your realtor will guide you through every step of the home buying process, connect you with the best mortgage banker and real estate attorney, and be by your side right through closing.
Local Service Providers
Your realtor is a great resource for local service providers. Most realtors have a list of reliable recommendations for you, from contractors to painters or roofers. They can also refer you to a pediatrician, plumber, and even a good gym for your workouts.
