• Help arranging the following:
  • Rental
  • Hotels

  • Household moving

Your employees will find their next home faster.

Mortgage Services

In an already stressful and hectic transition, obtaining a mortgage may become a confusing and costly ordeal. Times like this require an experienced and service oriented lender to work with your transferring employee. To provide you with the very best in service and innovative financing options, I have carefully chosen a few experienced mortgage lenders. They can offer a complete array of mortgages and mortgage services and will pre-qualify and offer a firm commitment, subject to an appraisal of the subject property. Employees know in advance how much they can afford, saving them time during the property search process. 

Temporary Housing

Temporary housing options are available and I will coordinate and manage the entire process for you. Defined as housing for a term of 30+ days and less than the standard minimum lease of 3 to 6 months, this service is an affordable solution for your employees in transition. Whether they are in the process of locating and purchasing a home, locating just the right long-term rental, or just on temporary assignment, your employee can enjoy all the amenities of home at a location convenient to work.

Home Warranty

When your transferee lists their home, they are entitled to one more benefit; eligibility to receive home warranty insurance through a variety of home warranty companies. This means your employee will receive protection on their home’s covered systems and/or appliances from unexpected repair or replacement throughout the duration of the marketing process. Prices of warranties range from $345 to $500.

Gets the Home Sold for more Money, in less Time

Most buyers today are aware of the many pitfalls that can materialize when purchasing a home. More and more they are expecting the coverage of a home warranty protection plan. Without a home warranty plan in place, potential buyers may make a lower offer or no offer based upon concerns about the home’s systems and appliances. A home listed with a trusted name in real estate and protected by a trusted name in home warranty insurance can minimize concerns that influence a buyer’s decision to purchase, thus speeding the home sale and getting your transferee on their way.

Freedom after the Sale

By electing to purchase home warranty insurance for the buyer, your transferee will help reduce the potential for after sale problems. If a covered system or appliance repair is needed, the buyer calls the warranty company – not your transferee! This can eliminate many of the distracting headaches that are common after a sale, leaving your transferee free to settle into their new home and work.

Home Inspection

I can provide a list of the area's inspection companies which provide pre-sale reports to help your transferring employees sell their homes. Most home inspection programs cover structural conditions, mechanical systems (heating, air conditioning, electrical, plumbing, etc.) radon, pest, and environmental hazard screening.

The Marketing Advantage

These inspections and reports give your transferees an edge when marketing their homes. The homes may sell faster and at a better price because prospective buyers are offered a one-year warranty. In addition, mandated disclosure requirements require sellers to take extra measures to fully inform prospective buyers about the condition of the property.

Extra Protection

With a seller's pre-listing inspection, you reduce the possibility of unexpected repair costs by providing a seller’s inspection report during the home marketing process. When inspections are performed in advance, the sellers are informed. They understand their home's condition and no longer have to wait for the buyer's inspection results, allowing the seller to make early repairs as needed.
