PERSONALIZED FLORIDA RELOCATION SERVICES
Many corporations provide extensive and personalized
relocation services to their executives when they ask them to transfer from one
location to another or when they are hiring a new executive who has to move his/her
family in order to accept a position.

Relocation Consultant
Our expert Relocation Consultants are the best in the
industry. They have to be because our success depends solely on the
professional caliber of the Consultant. We always find solutions to meet the
needs of our customers. Your Relocation Consultant will be your single point
of contact throughout the process, always available to help and guide you. She
will provide you with the information and tools to help make the relocation
process go as smoothly as possible. Do you want to know about Florida Residency Requirements? Condos
for sale in Florida? Life in Florida Retirement Communities? Florida Property Taxes? Your Consultant will provide you with answers and objective
guidance and monitor your progress through every phase of your move.
Home Marketing Assistance
The focus of this 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.
We learned a long time ago, that ads in the paper do not sell homes, ads on
the internet do not sell homes, open houses do not sell homes and front yard
signs do not sell homes. Real Estate Agents sell homes!
This is our process and how we can help you:
Following strict broker and agent selection criteria
(outlined below) your Relocation Consultant chooses two agents from different
companies to meet with you. Each of them will submit a Broker Market Analysis
(BMA). If you have an agent in mind, we will qualify that agent and determine
if they are eligible. The agents share the BMA reports with you and with us. Together
we review and compare and also compare notes on the agents themselves. We
develop a strategy for obtaining a suitable offer in a timely fashion. We
offer our advice on agent selection, but ultimately the choice is yours.
Your Relocation Consultant reviews the strategy each week
with you and your selected agent. We offer guidance and advice on improving or
changing the condition of the property or the list price or terms. We provide
negotiation assistance if needed. In our weekly conversation with your agent,
we discuss the number of showings and the feedback from those showings, general
and neighborhood activity, and feedback from cooperating agents who have shown
your home.
Again, the goal of our Home Marketing Assistance Program is
to help you to sell your home for the best possible price in the shortest
period of time. We want you to maximize your profit and we will do our best to
prevent you from making the biggest mistake that home sellers make overpricing
your home at the onset! You will interact with highly experienced,
knowledgeable, and honest real estate agents. The agents will provide unbiased
and realistic data to you and to us, to aid us in our mutual efforts. Learn
more about our services if you are relocating to Florida.
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. We
have 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?
You will find extensive Florida relocation information
on this website, all of the distinct and very different parts of Florida, Florida's counties and Florida's cities. But how do you go about narrowing it down so
that you are not spending the next 5 years talking about relocating to Florida vs. actually doing it?
Your Relocation Consultant will work with you to determine
your likes and dislikes, 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, we will help you to focus, and ultimately select a
community and home that is perfect for you. How long will it take? That will
depend on where you are in the process when we begin, but our goal is to have
you situated and happy in a limited amount of time.
Following strict agent and broker selection criteria
(outlined below) your Relocation Consultant will select an agent (or several
agents if you are considering several areas) to work with you to find the
perfect community and the perfect home. Having worked with developers in Florida, we've seen many people visit new home sales centers without real estate agents.
Some were very confused and frustrated, having visited 50 - 100 communities in
towns that were spread 100 - 200 miles apart. They had no idea what to do next
and so, you guessed it, they did nothing at all! Don't let that happen to
you! Take advantage of our expertise and the expertise of our 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!
Your selected agent will send you a Florida
relocation guide with information on the area that you are interested in, both
real estate and non-real estate related. With input from your Relocation Consultant,
your agent will conduct an overview area tour when you arrive to include town
centers, medical facilities, beaches, shopping and neighborhoods. Most often, an
overview tour gives you the flavor and the feel of the town and you can decide
whether or not you like it and want to look further or you want to cross it off
your list. Your Relocation Consultant will monitor your progress with you and
with your agent throughout the process. If you need anything at all, your
consultant is there to help! Click here to inquire about a Florida Relocation Package.
Your Relocation Consultant will assist with temporary
housing either in the destination city or departure city, if the need arises.
Our national affiliations with Title
Companies and Mortgage Companies,
should you decide to avail yourself of these services, insure that you have the
most attentive service, pre-negotiated title and lender fees, optimum interest
rates and smooth coordination among all parties.
Household Goods Move Management
As we're sure you'll agree, your household goods are not
just things, they have a combination of sentimental and monetary value. This
facet of your move often defines your perception of the entire move and so it
is critical that this challenging element is handled properly.
Your Relocation Consultant will select a van line company that
offers optimum service in your specific territory to meet with you and give you
an estimate which they will then share with us. All recommendations that the
van line company makes will be based on what is best for you. Our goal is to eliminate
a variety of unnecessary costs.
Your Relocation Consultant is available throughout this
process and after your goods have been delivered, to act as an advocate for
you.
How do we select real estate brokers and agents?
Frankly, we have high standards!
- Market research is conducted to determine who the
formidable Brokers are in a given town.
- The Broker/Owner or Manager is interviewed; market share
is determined as well as Company culture and philosophy.
- Broker/Owner or Manager is asked for 2 agent referrals.
- Agents are interviewed.
We ask for and select agents who:
- Have integrity.
- Are great listeners.
- Are service oriented & will go the extra mile.
- Are intelligent and professional.
- Have been in the business at least 2 years (preferably
longer, but we won't exclude a rising star!)
- Are accustomed to working with Florida
relocating buyers whether they are selecting a primary residence or a
Florida vacation home. Your needs are different from a
local buyer.
- Are accustomed to working with people in your specific price
range.
- Are members of the National Association of Realtors.
- Have the GRI or CRS designation (extensive education).
- Understand that we, as your Relocation Service Provider,
will play an active part in either the listing and sale of your home OR
your search for a home/town in Florida, and are willing to work in
partnership with us and keep us informed.
- Are focused and successful in selling listings if we are
referring you to sell OR are focused and successful with buyers if we are
referring you to buy.
- Are accessible.
- Are perceptive, assertive, and excellent negotiators.
On the listing side, we ask agents what their average list
to sale price ratio is. In normal markets, which we WILL return to, a
competent listing agent should be able to effect sale prices close to list
prices. On the buying side, a competent agent working with a buyer should be
able to negotiate down. In addition, agents who are adept at listening can
hone in on what is going to make you happy very quickly, saving you an enormous
amount of time and frustration. Our agent selection process has proven
successful over the many years that we have been in the Relocation Business. If
you're coming to Florida, relocating with us is your
passport to success! Learn more about our expert Florida
Relocation Services.
