Using a Relocation Department for local moves
When I look up the definition for the work “relocation” on Dictionary.com (based on Random House Dictionary, Random House Inc. 2009) their definition, I think, is perfect: “to change one’s residence or place of business; move.”
What is your definition of “relocation”? Would you only consider this word when you or someone you know move out of state or when a company you work for provides a relocation counselor to assist you with a move? Or, would you only use it when someone you know or a company you are aware of moves to another country? I have found as a Business Development Coordinator in the Relocation Department at Shorewest Realtors, and in my personal conversations with friends, that many individuals would not look into our relocation information, or ask us for assistance, unless they are either moving out of state or to another country. We are typically asked at that time about information about schools, doctors, medical facilities, crime stats, real estate companies, etc.
I believe, no matter if you are moving next door to the house you live in now, or moving a couple blocks, city, or county away, a relocation department can assist you with your move. We, here at Shorewest Realtors, can definitely help with a local relocation:
- Home Buying
- Home Selling
- Rental Information – both apartment and homes
- Moving Companies
- New School District Information
- Senior Living
- Etc.
Contacting our relocation department can be a helpful resource of information about the community in which you are looking to move to, experienced agents to help in the process or contacts to provide you with additional information to questions we may not have answers to.
We know moving can be stressful and time consuming when a move is out of state, but it can be just as daunting relocating locally! We all have busy lives and having someone to bounce questions or concerns off of creates a sense of security in the process and makes it much easier to deal with.
